GGSA, UENR Sign MoU to Boost Geo-Science 

The Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR).  

The agreement, signed on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, aims to enhance capacity building in geo-science, equipping students and professionals with the necessary knowledge and expertise to contribute effectively to national development. 

During the brief signing ceremony, Mr. Isaac Kuuwan Mwinbelle, Director-General of GGSA, described the agreement as a historic milestone for the authority in its efforts to collaborate with academic institutions.

“This partnership marks a new era in our quest to strengthen geological research, exploration, and human resource development in Ghana.

“By working together with UENR, we can ensure the proper training of geo-scientists and equip students with the right knowledge and skills to contribute meaningfully to national development.” 

Mr. Isaac Kuuwan Mwinbelle, Director-General of GGSA

He further emphasized that with the expansion of mining exploration and the government’s intensified fight against illegal mining (galamsey), it has become necessary for the GGSA to collaborate with relevant institutions to train more geo-science professionals. 

“The country needs well-trained geo-scientists now more than ever. As we continue our efforts to curb illegal mining and ensure sustainable mineral resource management, we must build the capacity of young professionals who will play a key role in these efforts.” 

The MoU outlines a comprehensive framework for collaboration between the two institutions, focusing on, “Training students in advanced geo-science research and exploration techniques, and providing hands-on training in geological studies and mineral resource management.”

The Vice-Chancellor of UENR, Prof. Elvis Asare-Bediako, highlighted the significance of this collaboration, particularly in enhancing research and training in Ghana’s geological and extractive industries. 

“This MoU cements the commonality that we have long recognized but never fully materialized. It is a leap from possibility to reality.”

He noted that the extractive industry plays a crucial role in Ghana’s economy, making it imperative for institutions such as GGSA and UENR to work together in conducting research, training personnel, and exploring innovative solutions for sustainable mineral resource exploitation.

The collaboration between GGSA and UENR is expected to have a far-reaching impact on Ghana’s geological and mining sectors.  

With the country’s increasing focus on responsible mining and resource management, well-trained professionals will be crucial in driving policies and practices that promote sustainability. 

The MoU also provides an avenue for staff exchange programs, allowing experts from both institutions to share knowledge and best practices.  

This will not only improve academic training at UENR but also enhance GGSA’s capacity in field research and geological assessments. 

The signing of this MoU aligns with the government’s broader agenda of strengthening Ghana’s scientific and technical capacity in resource management.  

With growing concerns over illegal mining, environmental degradation, and the need for sustainable resource utilization, the government has emphasized the importance of training more geo-science professionals. 

Mr. Mwinbelle reaffirmed GGSA’s commitment to working closely with academic institutions to enhance research and training in the sector. 

“We believe that this collaboration will go a long way in addressing some of the challenges facing the geological sector in Ghana.

“By equipping young professionals with the right skills, we can ensure the sustainable use of our natural resources.” 

Mr. Isaac Kuuwan Mwinbelle, Director-General of GGSA

The partnership between GGSA and UENR marks a significant step forward in Ghana’s quest for sustainable resource management and capacity building in geo-science.  

Through this collaboration, students will benefit from practical training, research opportunities, and exposure to real-world geological challenges. 

By combining academic knowledge with field experience, Ghana’s mining and extractive industries stand to benefit from a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce.  

With the successful implementation of this MoU, Ghana is set to make strides in geo-science education, mineral exploration, and sustainable resource management.
