Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC)

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is a government agency established to promote and facilitate investments across various sectors of Ghana’s economy, excluding mining and petroleum. Created by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act, 2013 (Act 865), the GIPC plays a pivotal role in attracting both local and foreign investments aimed at boosting the nation’s economic development.

The GIPC's core mission is to enhance Ghana’s accessibility to global investment opportunities and foster an environment conducive to business growth. It focuses on key sectors that are essential for the country’s long-term economic development, including agriculture and agro-processing, oil and gas, health, ICT and fintech, manufacturing, mining and mineral processing, property development, recreation and tourism, energy, education, financial services, and transport.

The Centre operates through four main areas: Investment Promotion, Investment Facilitation, Investment Advocacy, and Aftercare Services. These functions are designed to support investors throughout the entire investment process. Investment Promotion focuses on marketing Ghana as an attractive destination for investment. Investment Facilitation works to ensure that investors can smoothly establish their operations in Ghana, offering assistance in navigating regulatory requirements and obtaining necessary permits. Investment Advocacy ensures that the government policies align with investor needs, while Aftercare Services provide ongoing support to businesses after their establishment in the country.

By providing a comprehensive range of services to both local and international investors, the GIPC aims to create a favorable investment climate that encourages economic growth, job creation, and infrastructure development. Through its efforts, the GIPC contributes significantly to the diversification of Ghana’s economy and its integration into the global market.
