The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. Simon Madjie, has expressed support for a proposal by the Volta Regional Minister, Mr. James Gunu, for the appointment of dedicated investment desk officers within Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs).

The proposal, aimed at strengthening investment facilitation and promoting regional economic development, was made during a courtesy call by Mr. Gunu to the GIPC in Accra.

Mr. Madjie described the initiative as a positive step towards enhancing coordination between central investment agencies and local government structures. 

He noted that the presence of investment officers at the district level would improve responsiveness to investor needs and help identify viable local investment opportunities.

He said the GIPC remains committed to advancing regional investment efforts through initiatives such as the Regional Investment Forum, investment opportunity mapping, and the gradual expansion of GIPC operations to all parts of the country.

Mr. Gunu also extended an official invitation to the GIPC CEO to participate in the upcoming Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC) meeting scheduled for July 3, 2025. 

The meeting will provide a platform for dialogue on investment promotion and private sector engagement in the region.

Mr. Madjie welcomed the invitation and reaffirmed the Centre’s readiness to collaborate with regional authorities to attract investment and promote inclusive economic growth across Ghana.
