President John Mahama has emphasised that the UK-Ghana Growth Partnership is expected to unlock significant private sector investment while promoting climate-smart development and job creation across key sectors.
The agreement prioritises four major areas: attracting private capital, easing trade for Ghanaian businesses, accelerating industrial growth, and improving education outcomes to support long-term national development.
A major component of the deal is an ÂŁ85 million reforestation fund, alongside additional investment to restore degraded forest reserves in the Oti Region, which is expected to generate employment while strengthening environmental protection.
Mr Mahama said: “It targets four priority areas: attracting private investment, enabling easier trade for Ghanaian businesses, driving industrial growth, and delivering world-class education.”
He added that the partnership reflects Ghana’s determination to pursue a development path anchored in sustainability, private-sector participation, and inclusive economic growth.
