This guide is an output from Investment Promotion in Agribusiness.
Investment Promotion in Agribusiness is part of the European Union funded Technical Assistance to Support the Implementation of Investment Promotion and Business Linkages in Ghana Project (the Project). The Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) is the implementation Partner for the Project.
The aim of Investment Promotion in Agribusiness is to increase the use of equity and quasi equity instruments as a source of relatively low-cost, long-term funding to businesses operating in the Ghanaian agribusiness value chain.
To achieve this, Investment Promotion in Agribusiness has two objectives:
• Promote equity-based investment in Ghanaian agri-business value chains.
• Increase investment funds present in Ghana, notably impact investment funds.
The overall objective of the Project is to contribute to the Ghana Employment and Social Protection (GESP) programme by supporting employment and social protection and supporting the private sector development agenda of the Government of Ghana.
