Ghana, with a population of 32 million, has a rich culture, abundant resources (including a talented diaspora) and great potential for investment. The President speaks of his country’s sense of urgency and purpose. Ghana wants to be wholly self-reliant and seeks investment partners for its journey. Housing the headquarters of the African Continental Free Trade Area, Ghana represents a gateway to the continent. The country is very much worth considering as an investment destination according to the judging panel which points to its “world-class industries, focused industrialisation drive, and determination to be a truly business-friendly destination”. The GIPC website provides testimonial videos from investors that know this to be true. GIPC is building bridges with the Ghanaian diaspora to excellent effect (and last year launched promising trade missions to the Caribbean). The centre is congratulated on creating closers ties with other African countries via the Association of African Promotion Agencies (which is likely to result in a brighter future for all). CEO Yofi Grant has been re-elected to the steering committee of the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies, (representing Africa for a third term). The panel congratulates GIPC not only for showcasing Ghana, but also for significantly raising the profile of other African investment opportunities. GIPC activities represent an effective drive for economic development and growth. The panel is delighted to confirm Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) as 2024 winner of the award Best Investment Promotion Agency (Africa).
