V VI ABSTRACT Ghana’s recent oil discovery in 2007 has brought with it anticipation for economic growth. Subsequently, there have been policies that seek to guide various aspects of the industry. This study explores the socio-economic and infrastructural role that Sekondi-Takoradi, the nearest big city to the Jubilee oil field, is playing to facilitate oil activities offshore, although it has no formal government recognition as Ghana’s oil city. Cluster theory and structural functionalist theory are used together with the concepts of cities and infrastructure to analyze results. The study uses the snowballing method to select 23 informants from a network of oil companies and oil service providers, government institutions and relevant associations. Interview guides were used to obtain primary data while observation and figures were used for elaboration. Findings indicate that Sekondi-Takoradi is evolving as a location for an oil industry cluster. Intense horizontal and vertical linkages between firms in the core oil industry and with other supporting businesses show characteristics of an industrial cluster. The city transportation and social infrastructure helps with the coordination of offshore and onshore activities albeit to a limited extent due to the lack of governmental policy intervention, urban primacy and inadequate infrastructural development. Local businesses are limited to the periphery of the oil supply chain due to their size, capacity and the general preference of oil companies for larger suppliers and companies. It is prudent for government and local planning authorities to formally recognize the city’s role and expand its infrastructural base to adequately support the industry. Local participation (businesses and labour) can be increased through capital investment, training and enforcement of local content policy goals to facilitate the anticipated economic growth. Key words: Ghana, Sekondi-Takoradi, City, Oil, Jubilee oil field, Infrastructure, Transportation, Cluster, Structural Functionalism.

  • Fueling the Future of an Oil City a Tale of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana
    Fueling the Future of an Oil City A Tale of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana CONTRIBUTORS FROM GLOBAL COMMUNITIES: Africa in the 21st Century – Rapid Economic Alberto Wilde and Urban Growth Ghana Country Director Africa is experiencing an economic boom period, with many of the fastest growing world economies Ishmael Adams of the last decade in the continent. Ghana is one of the fastest growing economies within Africa, with IncluCity Project Director multiple years of growth in GDP around 7 percent,1 driven by exports of gold and cocoa and, with oil Brian English production that commenced in 2010, further growth is expected. Director, Program Innovation Simultaneously, the continent is transforming due to the effects of rapid urbanization. Africa is the fastest urbanizing continent with urban growth rate of 3.5 percent per year, with that rate expected to hold until 2050.2 Ghana’s rate of urbanization is currently measured at 3.4 percent3 and the country has reached the milestone of 51 percent of its 24 million people living in cities. Urbanization and economic growth spur opportunity but also present challenges such as growth of slums to accommodate the influx of people seeking better jobs and lives in the cities. In turn this can lead to poor quality services and inequalities exacerbated by crime and conflict. Over the last few decades we have also seen an increase in urban disasters. Poor, cramped living conditions, such as those we saw in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in 2010, can lead to even deadlier and more destructive disasters.4 The world is changing how it views Africa, from seeing the continent through the lens of vulnerability to seeing it through the lens of opportunity.
