It\u2019s important that we should channel those revenues into concrete structures that one day we can point out to the youth who are growing up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c so that we can say ,when we had oil, this is what we used the monies for but as to it being misused no ,it is being used well  and the resources are being tracked with the public accountability team that we have,\u201d he added. He  indicated that the report by the Natural Resource Governance Institute will be used as a basis for effective implementation of the project \u201cNow the report is out so we will have a look at it and know the way forward on how best to implement the project\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About National Resource Governance Index<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The 2017 Resource Governance Index which was published in London surveyed a total of 81 countries involved in oil, gas and mining. The report aims at assessing policies and practices that authorities employ to govern the said resources in their countries.<\/p>\n<p>Revenue management proved to be the weakest element in governance of Ghana\u2019s mining sector as Ghana performed poorly and ranked 23rd among 33 countries assessments of sub national revenue sharing mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>However, African Consultant for the Natural Resource Governance Institute, Emmanuel Kuyole said the report should direct policy makers in improving upon the governance of the country\u2019s natural resources to better the livelihoods of the nation\u2019s citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that this report should guide our policy makers in putting the revenue generated from our resources into good use\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 50 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Sunday, 16 July 2017 Source: citibusinessnews.com 2017-07-16 Revenue management proved to be the weakest element in governance of Ghana\u2019s mining sector &#13; The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has indicated that it will by 19th July this year implement a Multilateral Mining Integrated Project aimed at sanitizing the country\u2019s mining sector.
