Abstract	The study was conducted in Kurmuk & Menge Woreda in the Asossa Zone of Benishangul-Gumuz regions of Ethiopia. The study's overall objective is to examine the negative socio-economic and environmental impacts as well as the transparency and accountability in the mining process of regional states. They are focusing on the specific objectives such as; the mining process, negative impacts of mining activities on the community, and necessary inputs to policymakers to the gap. The study adopted qualitative, explanatory types, with tools such as FGD, KII, observation, and desk review or Literature analysis. The comprehensive findings confirmed that there is increased de-agrarianization, school drop-outs, deteriorating family and child care and nutrition, increased land grabbing and tenure insecurity, progressive loss in household livelihood assets, declining community health, social vices like prostitution& alcoholism with associated crimes (theft, knife attacks), sexualized violence, child labor, weakened transparency in license issuing and revenue management, grievance redressing mechanisms, and finally increased environmental degradation as well as chemical contamination. The study identified malfunctions in the areas of issuing licenses explained by offering bribes to issue licenses more quickly, or for specifying less-onerous license conditions, and also conditions in which officials may secretly have ownership stakes in companies to which licenses are granted; acquire land for which a license application has been made; demand a share in mining companies or their profits; and manipulate license registration to give themselves or their associates prior registration.
