The Office of the President, through the leadership of Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, has thrown its full support behind the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre’s (GIPC) groundbreaking Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP).

Speaking at the official launch event, the Chief of Staff applauded the initiative as a bold step towards bridging Ghana’s regional investment gap and empowering local economies to thrive.

The IOMP, a flagship project of GIPC, is designed to spotlight viable investment opportunities in all 261 districts, enabling a more inclusive and decentralised approach to national development.

The project is being delivered in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Agribusiness, the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), and other development partners.

It aims to create a comprehensive investment opportunity database across all regions and districts, identify sector-specific potentials for indigenous and foreign investment, equip regional ministers, local government authorities, and traditional leaders to market their localities, and strengthen Ghana’s diplomatic missions to promote local investment prospects abroad.

Debrah urged Ghanaian entrepreneurs, youth groups, and indigenous companies to engage actively with the Chief of Staff’s office and other relevant institutions to harness these mapped opportunities into real projects.

“The President’s vision is clear—we must reimagine Ghana’s growth through district-led investment and entrepreneurship. This is your time to move from ideas to implementation,” he noted.

He further encouraged the private sector, especially youth-led enterprises, to see the IOMP not just as a map, but as a national call to action—to innovate, partner, and build ventures that drive transformation from the ground up.

“The foundation has been laid. Now is the time for every forward-looking Ghanaian business and every bold youth with a dream to step forward and say: I’m ready to build, ready to grow, and ready to serve this nation,” he concluded.
