The United Nations University Institute for Natural Resources in Africa (UNU-INRA), in collaboration with SNV Ghana, is organizing a green business forum. The forum will bring together key policymakers, development partners, business and financial experts, and entrepreneurs, to discuss the potential for green businesses in Ghana, determine the challenges and explore interventions.
Date: 28th November, 2017
Time: 9am
Theme: “Green Businesses in Ghana: Opportunities for Growth’’.
It is expected that the forum will provide a platform for policy makers and the private sector to dialogue on issues affecting green businesses and recommend interventions that will help promote the sector in Ghana. It will also provide an opportunity to engage entrepreneurs and to inform them on how to apply for GCIC support.
