Four decades of support for artisanal and small-scale mining in sub-Saharan Africa: A critical review (2014, background): “In countries such as Ghana, Tanzania, and Burkina Faso, a series of generous tax breaks were implemented, embodied within revised legislation, in an attempt to lure foreign investors (Campbell, 2003).”
