Edochie called on Gyamfi while in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, according to GoldBod.

A book, a documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative make up the project, which aims to reach about 500,000 young people across Africa.

Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to back the youth mentorship initiative. The initiative, according to GoldBod, aligns with the Board's Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.

GoldBod's work also features in Edochie's new book, which highlights Ghana's efforts to make its gold resources count towards national development.
