CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION
5.3 Recommendation for Further Studies
The suggestions below would help to improve the understanding of the impact of galamsey on the living conditions of people in the mining areas and the strategies that would help to mitigate the adverse effects.
• Further research could be conducted to examine the kind of insects produced from the mining pits and the health implication of these insects on people in the rural mining communities.
• More work can be done to determine alternative sources of livelihoods in the rural mining communities. An available alternative livelihood for cocoa farmers
especially when cocoa is out of season would help to reduce the incidence of cocoa farmers wanting to do galamsey.
• Also, research about mining strategies is needed to determine a sustainable mining layout for the small-scale miners to preserve the environment.
