🎉 This year marks 70 years of China–Africa diplomatic relations, and the spotlight is on Ghana as China–Ghana cooperation shifts gears from symbolic gestures to real on-the-ground impact. 🌍
In the latest episode of The Hub, Wang Guan chats with Augustus Tanoh, Presidential Adviser and head of Ghana’s 24H+ Secretariat, and Nana Bene, CEO of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund. They unpack how China’s financing is powering iconic road, rail, and energy projects across Ghana, turning blueprints into bricks-and-mortar reality. 🚧💪
One standout idea? Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy strategy. 🕒 By keeping markets, ports, and services running around the clock, the goal is to boost productivity, create jobs, and encourage everyone from local food vendors to tech startups to innovate and scale. Imagine Accra’s skyline glowing day and night with opportunities—it's exactly the kind of bold vision this partnership is bringing to life.
Amid global uncertainty—think supply chain hiccups, shifting trade rules, and climate challenges—the China–Ghana model is being hailed as a blueprint for shared growth. 🤝 Instead of zero-sum competition, it’s about pooling resources: Chinese infrastructure expertise meets Ghanaian local know-how to build sustainable projects that benefit communities on both sides.
So what’s next? As the Belt and Road framework evolves, China–Ghana collaboration is set to deepen in areas like green energy, digital finance, and vocational training. 💡 For young professionals looking to ride this wave, it’s time to grab your laptops, pitch your startup ideas, or join forces on community projects—because this partnership is all about action, not just ambition.
