Volta Economic Forum seeks investment execution to drive regional development

Mr James Gunu, Volta Regional Minister, said the region’s economic transformation could be anchored on four major pillars: agriculture and agro-processing; tourism and hospitality; manufacturing and logistics; and the blue economy and fisheries.

The second edition of the Volta Economic Forum brought together government officials, private investors, entrepreneurs, traditional leaders, development institutions, students and other stakeholders to explore investment opportunities and strategies for translating them into sustainable economic activities.

According to him, the Volta Economic Corridor, being developed as part of President John Dramani Mahama’s 24-hour economy and accelerated development agenda, offered a framework to connect agriculture, aquaculture, processing, manufacturing, inland transport, renewable energy, tourism and regional trade.
