Newmont Mining Corporation

The Ahafo Social Responsibility Forum (ASRF) is a voluntary organization and the first of its kind in Ghana. The ASRF consists of:

• A Moderator and Co-Moderator
• The Regional Minister for Brong Ahafo  
• Three Newmont managers from the Ahafo mine   
• Three members of Parliament from Tano North, Asutifi North and Asutifi South   
• Two District Chief Executives from Tano North and Asutifi   
• Presiding members of the District Assemblies from Tano North and Asutifi  
• The Omanhene/Chief and one other person from each community town 
• The Chief Farmer from Tano North  
• The Chief Farmer from Asutifi  
• Six elected representatives of women's groups (three from each district)
• One elected youth representative from each community town   
• One elected representative from a Non-Governmental Organization in Tano North
• One elected representative from a Non-Governmental Organization in Asutifi

The full ASRF currently meets as often as necessary to ensure that the Agreement is completed as soon as possible.  The Forum is a large group and a smaller Standing Committee has been formed to further more detailed issues.  Any decisions made by the Standing Committee are referred back to the Forum for finalization.  A Complaints Resolution Committee has been formed to resolve any difficulties in implementing the Agreement. 

Newmont and the Community agree that any conflict between them will be resolved through dialogue and negotiation with patience and tolerance to maintain a good working relationship. Together, we agree to recognize, patronize and support the grievance/complaint management procedure established by the Company, the Community and the Government. We also strive to relate to each other to build and improve confidence and trust through effective issues management.
