Following free elections in December 2008, there was a peaceful change of government in January 2009, and this stable democracy has received high level international recognition. In July 2009, US President Barack Obama chose the country for his first African visit, in a strong show of support. On the economic front too, Ghana has been enjoying high and steady expansion, Introduction with economic growth averaging an annual 6% over five years.

In particular, the national power grid and electricity generation and distribution are set to expand significantly, after years of underinvestment and supply shortages. The success of Trinidad and Tobago in sharing the benefits of the sector with the local population has inspired the local content policy: the government wants to increase the capabilities and competitiveness of domestic businesses, and is targeting local participation of up to 90% in the oil and gas value chain by 2020. With the offshore upstream sector generating relatively little employment, the development of a Ghanaian downstream industry, based largely on the natural gas discoveries, will be key to realizing the countrys economic vision. And foreign capital will have a major part to play in this development process. In the downstream, dynamic private sector companies have emerged that are investing heavily in new infrastructure and services, and are actively looking for partnerships with foreign companies to support their expansion. From across the countrys energy sector, the message to foreign investors is clear: Ghana is open for business, it is committed to transparency, and it is well prepared for the challenges of the new economic era that it is now entering. 101101ogj_Ghanainsert_3 3 10/18/10 10:04 AM 03 First Oil and Beyond Deepwater drilling leads to major hydrocarbon discoveries Petroleum Resources ne of the most striking features of its promotional activities; as well as invested O Ghana s upstream industry has heavily in staff training, including both been the pace of development, with just Change academic training and staff secondment or three and a half years from the discovery of attachment to E&P companies and to seismic the Jubilee field in July 2007 to expected for Tomorrow data acquisition and processing companies. first oil production by the end of 2010.

  • Youth and Oil & Gas : Governance in Ghana
    YOUTH AND OIL & GAS GOVERNANCE IN GHANA - Nationwide Survey Admittedly, the discovery of oil in itself does not automatically translate into development.

These challenges demanded a new direction and a new approach. This is what informed the Ghana@100 document. The vision for this new direction is informed by the need to establish a strong economy, that creates opportunities, inspires people to start businesses, stimulates expansion of existing businesses, and, ultimately, leads to the creation of jobs, increased economic growth and higher incomes.
