Green finance and sustainable industrialization in ghana: mapping the ecosystem and international contributions
Green finance is no longer a peripheral agenda; it is rapidly becoming the support of modern industrial policy. For countries like Ghana, where industrial growth remains both an economic imperative and an environmental challenge, green finance offers a rare opportunity to simultaneously advance competitiveness, climate resilience, and social equity. This report investigates how green finance is shaping Ghana’s industrial transition, assesses its current structure and flows, and proposes actionable strategies to maximize its developmental potential.
The report draws on a mixed-methods approach that includes desk-based analysis, stakeholder engagement, and policy document review. It maps the key actors, financial instruments, institutional frameworks, and sectoral applications that define Ghana’s green finance ecosystem. Particular attention is given to domestic coordination mechanisms, private sector participation, and international partnerships, especially Ghana’s evolving engagement under the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).
