Ghana has laid strong policy foundations for green industrialisation—from its Green Finance Taxonomy to ambitious energy transition and climate commitments. Yet private capital, particularly from domestic firms and SMEs, remains largely on the sidelines, constrained by risk perceptions, capacity gaps, and regulatory uncertainty.
This policy brief confronts that gap head-on. It examines why private sector participation has lagged and sets out practical pathways to crowd in investment through de-risking instruments, blended finance, and investment-readiness support. Anchored in Ghana’s institutional realities and global lessons, the brief offers decision-makers a clear roadmap to move green industrialization from policy intent to private-sector–led scale.
This policy brief forms part of a thematic series developed under the Sino-African Green Finance Alliance (SAGFA 1.0), with support from the African Climate Foundation (ACF).
