Ghana

Ghana is a country renowned for its political and social stability. Ghana has held eight peaceful and democratic elections including three changes in administration, and the country is praised as a model of African democracy in the international community. The start of oil production in 2010 has invited increased volume of foreign investment and stimulated higher level of economic activity, enabling Ghana to maintain high growth rate in the recent years. In order to consolidate Ghana's stable socioeconomic development process, however, it is crucial to overcome various challenges such as regional disparities, inadequate infrastructure and quality public services. To support Ghana in its effort, JICA's cooperation is primarily focused on 1) Quality Infrastructure for Economic Growth; 2) Industrial and Agricultural Development; 3) Universal Health Coverage; and 4) Capacity Development for Effective Public Service.
