Ghana

Ghana is a priority partner for SECO's economic development cooperation, recognized for its pivotal role in fostering growth and stability in the region. The country is actively pursuing economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability, driven by a rapidly expanding young population that generates strong demand for jobs and sustainable development practices. Despite this potential, Ghana faces systemic economic challenges and environmental pressures. Nevertheless, the country holds considerable opportunities for sustainable economic development, achievable through targeted reforms and strategic improvements. SECO's Cooperation Programme 2025-2028 is designed to support Ghana in addressing these challenges and leveraging its opportunities. The program aims to strengthen the foundations for a resilient and forward-looking economy by focusing on enhanced local governance, inclusive job creation, and environmental integrity.
