Ghana is looking to strengthen its partnership with Norway to promote the sustainable use of marine resources, improve livelihoods and create new opportunities for long-term economic growth.
Deputy Minister for Finance, Thomas Nyarko Ampem, said the partnership would play an important role in supporting Ghana’s efforts to develop a sustainable blue economy through the Oceans for Development Programme.
He explained that the initiative would help improve the management of the country’s marine resources while ensuring that coastal communities benefit from economic activities linked to the ocean.
According to him, Ghana is committed to exploring opportunities in the blue economy that will not only protect marine resources but also support job creation, improve livelihoods and contribute to national development.
The collaboration with Norway is expected to strengthen Ghana’s capacity to manage its ocean resources responsibly and promote sustainable economic activities for the benefit of present and future generations.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to ensure that Ghana’s ocean resources become a stronger driver of economic growth while protecting the marine environment.
