How UPF Africa promotes peace in Ghana

Nation presentation

Situated along the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, Ghana spans approximately 238,535 square kilometers with a vibrant and diverse population, and English as the official language. Historically known for its role in the trans-Saharan trade and later as the Gold Coast, Ghana's economy has long been intertwined with gold and cocoa production. Recognizing the need for economic diversification, the country is actively promoting industries such as oil and gas, agriculture, and services. With a commitment to sustainable development, Ghana is navigating its economic trajectory by attracting foreign investment, fostering innovation, and investing in infrastructure. The nation addresses historical challenges while striving for sustained and inclusive growth, maintaining a balance between preserving its cultural heritage and embracing modern development.
