批判了加纳矿业社区中替代生计和地方经济发展项目的实施方式，指出这些项目因与目标群体的心态和抱负脱节而难以推广，对政策制定者和研究者有参考价值。
Abstract\n This paper critiques the approach being taken in Ghana to identify and develop Alternative Livelihood (AL) and allied Local Economic Development (LED) projects in mining communities. The rapid insurgence of illegal artisanal gold mining in Ghana has forced policymakers to think more creatively about ways in which to deal with mounting unemployment in the country?s rural areas. Most of the economic activities being promoted, however, have proved extremely unpopular with target groups. The policy approaches adopted reflect how little in tune the organizations championing AL policy in Ghana?s mining communities are with the mindsets and ambitions of target populations.
