Investment Promotion in Sub-Sahara Africa (IPSSA)
The aim of this service agreement is to generate foreign direct investment in selected programme countries within Sub-Saharan Africa and to strengthen the local investment promotion organisations. This programme will run for a total of three years.
As part of the initial phase (January to September 2008), Ghana and Madagascar were selected as beneficiary countries from the list of six proposed programme countries.
