The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. Simon Madjie, has announced plans to map out investment opportunities across all districts in Ghana.
This initiative aims to create a comprehensive database of regional investment prospects, which will be leveraged by GIPC and the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry during trade missions to attract investors.
“This will result in a detailed database on regional investment opportunities, which we can utilize to effectively promote Ghana’s business potential,” Mr. Madjie stated during a courtesy call on Mrs. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry.
### **Strengthening Collaboration for Investment Promotion**
The visit focused on strengthening collaboration between state agencies to enhance Ghana’s business environment and streamline investment promotion efforts.
Mr. Madjie emphasized the importance of a unified national strategy to position Ghana as the leading business destination in the region.
“To provide a clearer picture of total investments attracted into the country, we must work with all relevant agencies to ensure accurate and comprehensive investment data,” he added.
He also highlighted investment opportunities linked to the government’s “24-hour economy” policy and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which provides access to a vast regional market.
### **Government’s Commitment to Investment Growth**
In response, Minister Ofosu-Adjare reaffirmed her commitment to collaborating with GIPC and other agencies to create a business-friendly environment in Ghana.
She announced plans to engage agency leadership to develop a concrete action plan for strengthening partnerships and enhancing coordination.
Additionally, the Minister disclosed the upcoming launch of the “Feed the Industry” project, an initiative aimed at linking commercial contract farmers directly with Ghanaian industries to address raw material shortages.
“This project presents exciting opportunities for collaboration between government agencies, private sector players, and investors,” she noted.
She further identified priority sectors for investment and urged GIPC to intensify efforts in channeling investments into these areas.
Madam Ofosu-Adjare assured Mr. Madjie of her full support in driving GIPC’s mandate to enhance Ghana’s investment competitiveness on the global stage.
