The 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 opportunities to global markets, investors, and networks.

Speaking at an engagement with the diplomatic community on the Centre’s flagship Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), Mr. Madjie said their advocacy could deepen cross-border collaboration and boost targeted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).

Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, and the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), the IOMP aims to address the unequal spread of investment across Ghana — with 80% currently concentrated in the Greater Accra Region — by spotlighting untapped opportunities in all 261 districts.

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

Mr. Madjie also revealed that reforms to the GIPC Act are underway to strengthen investor protection and improve the ease of doing business.

Deputy CEO, Abdul Razak Baba encouraged missions to act as “vocal ambassadors” for Ghana’s district-level potential, leveraging platforms such as the 2026 Ghana International Investment Summit.
