Jobs are the best<br />
pathway out of poverty.<br />
Consider Ghana’s<br />
experience.<br />
There were few<br />
opportunities in Alex<br />
Boampong’s remote<br />
western part of the<br />
country until Newmont<br />
Mining’s Ahafo gold<br />
mine opened in 2006.<br />
Receiving $125 million in<br />
financing and extensive<br />
environmental and<br />
social support from<br />
IFC, it transformed the<br />
local economy.<br />
Alex got a contract<br />
from the mine as a solo<br />
service provider, then<br />
worked his way up from<br />
there. Receiving training<br />
and contracts from<br />
Newmont and its South<br />
African infrastructure<br />
contractor, he now<br />
works for other compa-<br />
nies as well. Today<br />
he employs nearly<br />
300 local workers.<br />
