The Chamber’s Acting Executive Secretary, Jane Okyere-Aduachie, joined Mr. Simon Madjie, CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), at the official launch of the Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), a pivotal step in Ghana’s investment drive. The event featured a keynote address by Hon. Julius Debrah, Chief of Staff, and remarks from Guest Speaker Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister for Trade, Agribusiness & Industry, who emphasized the government’s commitment to fostering inclusive economic growth through strategic investment.
The IOMP is a joint initiative between GIPC, the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), and the Ministry of trade agribusiness and Industry, and Industry (MoTAI). It seeks to systematically identify, assess, and document viable investment opportunities across all 261 districts in Ghana. The ultimate goal is to promote balanced economic growth nationwide.
The initiative encompasses several key interventions:
▪️ Investment Opportunities Mapping: A nationwide exercise to identify and profile investment-ready prospects across Ghana’s districts.
▪️Regional Investment Roadshows: High-level forums designed to spotlight regional opportunities and encourage a more equitable distribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
▪️Tailored Investment Presentations: Focused sessions for Regional Ministers, MMDCEs, and traditional authorities to support local advocacy and promote viable Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) beyond Accra.
▪️Regional Expansion of GIPC Offices: A decentralization strategy aimed at improving accessibility, strengthening service delivery, and enabling real-time engagement with regional stakeholders.
The Chamber is proud to support this forward-looking initiative and remains committed to advancing investment and economic inclusion across Ghana.
