Ghana Investment Promotion Authority initiatives

Overview

The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) is preparing for the inaugural Invest Ghana Summit, scheduled for November 16–17, 2026, in Accra. The summit aims to host over 2,000 participants to showcase national opportunities, including reforms related to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the government’s 24-Hour Economy agenda. GIPA CEO Simon Madjie noted the event is designed to connect investors with viable projects and facilitate engagement between Ghanaian businesses and technical partners or financiers.

To support the summit, GIPA launched a strategic roadshow across Northern Ghana from October 11 to 23, 2026, targeting the Northern, North-East, Upper East, Upper West, and Savanna regions. Through its Investment Opportunities Mapping Project, GIPA has identified over 600 investment-ready projects nationwide, with 128 located in the northern regions. The Upper West region holds the highest concentration with 45 projects, followed by the Northern Region with 38.

In the Upper West Region, officials highlighted the progress of the Black Volta Gold Project, managed by Engineers & Planners Company Limited (E&P). Following the acquisition of Azumah Resources Ghana Limited and Upwest Resources Limited, E&P has secured funding to begin development, which is projected to produce an average of 163,000 ounces of gold annually during its first five years.

In the North East Region, GIPA presented projects valued between US$1 million and US$80 million, including initiatives in commercial agriculture, irrigation, livestock, and rice milling, with projected returns of 14% to 25%. These efforts aim to drive industrialization and shift the economy toward a more productive model.
