The Ghana Investment Promotions Center (GIPC) last week paid a working visit to the central region to meet with stakeholders in a bid to assess the investment opportunities in the region and help facilitate it progress.
The visit forms part of the pre-sensitization tour across all regions which precedes the actual sensitization tour slated in October 2021, with the Central region being among the first to benefit from the visit.
The Regional Head of GIPC of the Western, Central, and Western North, Nathan Opoku giving details of this initial visit to the region said the center is on a pre-sensitization tour to create awareness of its activities and to call for submission of viable investment projects from the region.
“This exercise is to support the work of the regional coordinating council in profiling projects to attract the right investments into the region”. Last Thursday, he stated that on ATL FM’s main show “The Atlantic Wave.”
On his part, Mr. Edmund Ofoli Onyame, Senior investment promotion officer with GIPC said the center’s prime focus of the sensitization is on Tourism, hospitality, agriculture, and manufacturing.
“Essentially, we want to look at specific sectors…
We are looking at those specific sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, and any projects that are viable, that are feasible in these specific sectors, or any sector that will be recommended to us by the regional coordinating council. But for us, we are looking at tourism, hospitality, agriculture, and manufacturing.”
The core benefit he said is on “job creation”.
GIPC is mandated under Act 865; GIPC Act 2013 to promote investments into Ghana and outside of Ghana and as part of this core mandate, GIPC profile projects, does investment advisory, register joint projects, and also facilitate general investments in Ghana.
