The Ghana Export Promotion Council (GEPC) has intensified strategies to achieve the US$5 billion revenue targets for non-traditional export by 2015 by setting up an implementation committee for services and exports strategy.
The council has also developed and launched a guidebook for actors in the sector to enable exporting firms to learn the rudiments of winning foreign contracts in the sector.
The guidebook also serves as a follow-up to the services export strategy that deals comprehensively with skills and professional capacities that firms need in order to market their professional services in targets markets.
According to the Chief Executive of GEPC, Kwadwo Owusu Agyeman, the council has commenced dialogue with the various tertiary institutions with the view to building a data base.
He said the council has seen the need to introduce the necessary regulations and institutions that will ensure that GEPC does not miss the US$5 billion revenue target by 2015.
By this, he said Ghana would be able to reach the middle income status by 2015.
The Chief Executive, who was speaking at the National Consultative Workshop on Coalition of Service Industries, noted that the contribution of GEPC towards the development of the Ghanaian economy cannot be over-emphasized.
He however urged all Ghanaians to support GEPC in achieving its goals to the development of the nation.
