Our activities in Ghana cover three priority areas: Climate and Energy, Just Transition; Sustainable Economic Development, Training and Employment, and Peaceful and Inclusive Societies, which focuses on good governance.
To ensure that Ghana has a reliable and sustainable electricity supply, GIZ is advising the Ghanaian Ministry of Energy on the implementation of a renewable energy law. The objective is also to increase energy efficiency in the country. In addition, GIZ is developing and promoting needs-based training and professional development in the energy sector. GIZ is thus supporting the development and expansion of renewable energy and the introduction of energy saving solutions.

GIZ is promoting inclusive, job-creating growth in Ghana to enhance employment prospects. Training and income-generating opportunities are therefore to be improved for low-income households, disadvantaged groups, returnees and individuals intending to migrate. The aim is also to promote the private sector and digitalisation, in particular. GIZ aims to achieve this by supporting businesses, tech start-ups and disadvantaged individuals with advisory services, financial instruments, and short-term and long-term training.

In the area of good governance, GIZ supports Ghana’s Government and municipalities in generating more revenue. The company is also providing advice on transparent use of revenue to support political objectives, particularly to support disadvantaged population groups and promote local economies. Moreover, audit offices, civil society and citizens are to be supported in demanding accountability from the Government in order to prevent corruption.
