The Chamber provides facilities for consultation, communication and the interchange of views with the Central Government, Government Departments, Public Boards, Inter-Governmental and Business Organizations in Ghana, West Africa and Africa
In Ghana, the Government of Ghana's (GoG's) commitment to achieving the golden age of business is not in doubt. The place of private sector-led economic growth as a key tool to achieve poverty reduction in Ghana is enshrined in Ghana's over-arching policy documents, the Coordinated Programme for Economic and Social Development and the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy.
The Chamber as part of its advocacy role made inputs into all policy documents affecting the private sector. These include the National budget, Private Sector Development Strategy etc.
Strategies for Public-Private Partnership
A public- private partnership will have to undertake pro-market activities designed to enhance Ghana 's international competitiveness by-
- Helping to develop a fully-fledged Trade Policy to promote the integration of Ghana into global and regional markets - including reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade.
- Enhancing quality standards by undertaking a fundamental review of existing Public institutions tasked to provide quality standards services to the private sector, undertaking a "best practice" review of the provision of laboratories for quality standards in Ghana and providing technical assistance to enable laboratories in Ghana to attain international accreditation.
- Attracting investment by undertaking measures at the national level to improve the investment climate in Ghana.
- Undertaking sector-specific pro-market measures for strategic exports. E.g. Salt, Textiles, Starch etc.
-
Undertaking limited 'smart' direct interventions in the form of explicit or implicit subsidies.
