GIPC encourages diplomats to champion Ghana’s new investment drive

 Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has urged diplomatic missions and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) to actively promote Ghana’s investment prospects across global markets, investors, and networks.

Simon Madjie believes their commitment to championing government initiatives within their respective countries will significantly deepen cross-border collaborations.

He made the appeal during an engagement with the diplomatic community on the centre’s flagship Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), which aims to identify and promote viable investments across the country.

Developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, and the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), the project seeks to address the uneven distribution of investments in Ghana, with 80 percent currently concentrated in the Greater Accra Region.

According to the GIPC boss, the IOMP will highlight untapped opportunities in all 261 districts, attracting investments to previously neglected areas with strong potential. He stressed that the collective advocacy of diplomatic missions, DFIs, and international cooperation agencies could boost targeted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and promote bilateral economic cooperation.

The IOMP is not simply about attracting more investments; it is about balancing growth, reducing regional disparities, creating jobs, expanding exports, and building a diversified, resilient economy,” Madjie said.

He also revealed that the Centre is working around the clock to reform the GIPC Act to enhance investor protection and improve the ease of doing business in Ghana.

Deputy CEO of the GIPC, Abdul Razak Baba, also joined the call, imploring diplomatic missions to become ‘vocal ambassadors’ for Ghana’s district-level investment potential, share information extensively, and connect investors to key platforms such as the Ghana International Investment Summit (GIIS) slated for 2026.
