The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has charged newly appointed envoys to Ghana’s diplomatic missions to champion the country’s investment drive by promoting opportunities across all sectors of the economy.
Addressing the just-ended Conference of Heads of Mission and Orientation for New Envoys in Accra, organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Madjie underscored the critical role of Ghana’s foreign missions in attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) and driving inclusive growth.
He urged the diplomats to move beyond traditional roles and become active investment ambassadors by highlighting district-level opportunities and supporting flagship government programmes.
These include the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme (24H+), designed to boost round-the-clock production and expand Ghana’s export base, and The Big Push - National Infrastructure Development Programme, a multi-billion-dollar initiative targeting roads, rail, water systems and other key infrastructure.
“Ghana continues to enjoy a strong reputation as a stable democracy with a sound legal framework, macroeconomic resilience and an investor-friendly policy environment. These attributes make the country a highly competitive destination for foreign investment,” he stated.
Simon Madjie also called for deeper collaboration between GIPC and the diplomatic corps to ensure a fair spread of investment across the regions, reduce disparities and unlock growth opportunities for all Ghanaians.
According to him, GIPC’s wider strategy is to make investment promotion an integral part of the work of Ghana’s missions abroad, thereby reinforcing the nation’s position as a secure and promising destination for global investors.
GIPC is at the forefront of transforming Ghana's investment landscape to attract large investors into the country.
