Ghana and the United Kingdom (UK) have signed a Growth Partnership Agreement valued at up to £215 million, setting out a three-year cooperation roadmap aimed at boosting investment, infrastructure development and skills training.
The agreement was signed by Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK and Ireland, Sabah Zita Benson, on behalf of the Government of Ghana on the sidelines of the Ghana–UK Investment Summit in London on June 1, 2026.
The framework covers the 2026–2028 period and is expected to deliver projects across key sectors including maritime infrastructure, climate resilience, technology, education and health.
A major component of the package is a £101 million UK-backed initiative to establish the Gulf of Guinea’s first commercial-scale ship repair and dry-docking facility.
The Takoradi Floating Dock Project is expected to create up to 430 direct jobs, with 30 per cent of positions reserved for women, while strengthening Ghana’s maritime industry and regional competitiveness.
The partnership also includes £85 million for a reforestation fund and a further £9 million for forest restoration in the Oti Region, aimed at supporting environmental recovery and job creation.
In the technology space, £6 million has been allocated to support the implementation of Ghana’s Artificial Intelligence Strategy and deepen collaboration between Ghanaian and UK universities in science and innovation.
The agreement also provides £4 million to strengthen specialist clinical engineering training within the health sector.
New Transnational Education guidelines are also expected to be introduced to expand access for Ghanaian students to international training opportunities and academic pathways.
Government says the partnership reflects a strategic push to deepen bilateral cooperation with the United Kingdom, expand human capital development and accelerate priority national development goals through structured investment.
