The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has taken a significant step towards enhancing operational efficiency and improving regional service delivery. On Friday, April 4, 2025, the Centre’s CEO, Mr. Simon Madjie, officially handed over a brand-new vehicle to the Ashanti Regional Zonal Office. This gesture is part of the World Bank-funded Ghana Economic Transformation Project (GETP), aimed at accelerating private sector growth and strengthening key institutions like GIPC.
The vehicle was provided to support the Centre’s efforts in facilitating investment across Ghana, particularly in regional areas. Mr. Madjie emphasized that this move symbolizes enhanced capacity, visibility, and responsibility for zonal operations. He reaffirmed GIPC’s commitment to bringing investment facilitation closer to the people, ensuring no region is left behind.
Mr. Gabriel Kofi Dake, Senior Operations Officer for the GETP, praised the presentation as a significant milestone in GIPC’s decentralization agenda. He highlighted the effective collaboration between the Centre and development partners like the World Bank.
Improving Investment Facilitation
This development is part of GIPC’s broader efforts to enhance investment facilitation in Ghana. The Centre has introduced initiatives like a 24-hour premium service to expedite key investment-related processes, making it easier to do business in the country.
Ghana’s Economic Resilience
Despite global uncertainty, Ghana’s economy has shown resilience, with modest GDP growth recorded in 2024. The GIPC’s efforts to promote investment and facilitate business growth have contributed to this positive trend.
