WHY MINERALS COMMISSION?

Prior to the establishment and inauguration of the Minerals
 Commission on 13th September 1984, there were two
governmental agencies for the promotion of the development of
industries around speci c minerals in Ghana. These were the
Aluminum Industries Commission (AIC) for Bauxite and the
Integrated Iron and Steel Commission (IISC) for iron ore.
The maintenance of these two separate agencies with similar
 mandates for the same sector posed a number of challenges
which included budgetary constraints and scarce human
resources. An option was to set up a single body with a focused
function of developing and coordinating mineral sector policy
and monitoring its implementation, excluding hydrocarbons, in
Ghana.
