Our Areas of Expertise
GEDSI & Women-Owned Business Advisory
Despite owning the majority of businesses in Ghana, women entrepreneurs remain significantly underrepresented in higher‑earning sectors such as manufacturing, construction, services, consultancy, and information technology. In reality, most women‑owned enterprises are concentrated within the informal sector, where they face persistent barriers including limited access to finance, gaps in technical skills, difficulties competing in traditionally male‑dominated industries, and inadequate support from donors or international development partners
Our approach
At DhaarJhunne, we prioritize women‑owned businesses by supporting their formalization, growth, and competitiveness. We help them access finance, expand into new markets, strengthen technical and business skills, and create safe, inclusive workplaces within the manufacturing and service sectors, soft‑landing them into a highly competitive environment. Currently, we provide direct technical assistant and business advisory services on pro-bono basis to about 10 women-owned business across several value chains and sectors.
Policy Advocacy and Advisory
ECONOMY
Job Creation
As of 2025, Ghana’s labor market reflects significant vulnerabilities. Out of 12.75 million employed individuals, approximately 9.2 million making up of 72% of working population, are in insecure forms of work which are often informal, underpaid, and unlikely to contribute to pensions or the national tax pool. In addition, more than 1.95 million Ghanaians, 13% of labour force, remain unemployed and are not engaged in education or training.
Poverty Reduction
According to World Bank’s 2025 Policy Note on Transforming Ghana, over 25% of the population, that is, about 8 million Ghanaians, now live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than the United Nations threshold of $2.15 per day.
Business Environment and Ecosystem Development and Reform
Ghana’s business environment remains constrained by inefficiencies, burdensome taxation, limited technological adoption, high cost of capital, and restricted access to finance. The non‑implementation of catalytic policies, resource gaps within ministerial and agency institutions, weak coordination, and ineffective stakeholder engagement further undermine competitiveness. Businesses also face elevated energy costs, a deteriorating business culture, and the absence of incentive frameworks to attract anchor investors.
Beyond these challenges, bureaucratic bottlenecks at the ports, inadequate digitalization at key decision‑making centers, and entrenched corruption continue to raise the cost of doing business. The lack of a coherent framework to stimulate consumer demand and foster business growth compounds these issues, leaving Ghana’s private sector struggling to realize its full potential.
HEALTH
Improving health delivery across Ghana requires making services more accessible, inclusive, and efficient, while embedding digital solutions and robust financial management systems.
AGRICULTURE
Improving Livelihoods in Agriculture
About 5 million Ghanaians are employed in Agricultural Sector and value chains. Small holder farmers face significant economic hardship with about 70% living in extreme poverty.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Aligning education and training with actual industrial needs is essential to bridging the gap between the skills demanded by industry and the outcomes delivered by TVET and academic institutions. By tailoring curricula and training solutions to match real‑world requirements, Ghana can strengthen workforce readiness, enhance productivity, and ensure that graduates are equipped with the competencies necessary to drive industrial growth.
Our approach
Through our extensive network across Government Agencies, Institutions, and Ministries, we provide our partners with a unique advantage in navigating Ghana’s policy and regulatory environment. Leveraging strategic relationships, we are able to lobby, promote, advocate, and support initiatives that align with national priorities and foster the growth of industries, communities, and bilateral trade or investment.
Our strength lies in facilitating structured dialogues, organizing focused stakeholder groups, and building strong, sustained engagements with the Government of Ghana’s machinery. This ensures that our partners’ voices are heard at the right levels and that their proposals are positioned within the broader framework of national development strategies.
SME and Private Sector Development Advisory
Global and Ghana’s domestic business environment are evolving rapidly, with rules, policies, and compliance requirements becoming increasingly stringent and competitive. Many businesses are now pursuing international standards to access new markets, attract partners, secure financing solutions, and qualify for grant support from development agencies. However, awareness of industry demands remains limited to Ghanaian businesses. Standards such as the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification, World Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), and the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Decent Work Standards are often overlooked.
Domestically, businesses frequently lack knowledge of statutory requirements including accreditation from the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), certification from the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), and licensing from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Development partners also expect internal policies that demonstrate robust financial management systems, anti‑corruption monitoring, child protection enforcement, modern slavery prevention, safeguarding, and inclusion. Without these frameworks, businesses risk missing critical opportunities for growth, investment, and international competitiveness.
Our approach
We provide critical advisory services to help businesses navigate Ghana’s complex operating environment, offering technical support in securing both international and local certifications to remain compliant and competitive. Our services include conducting compliance audits, co‑developing internal policy frameworks, and supporting their implementation. We also strengthen existing systems and processes while developing implementation plans that drive continuous improvement and measurable results.
Investment Facilitation (Foreign and Domestic) and Advisory
“Ghana is open for business” reflects the country’s readiness to facilitate both foreign and domestic investments across key national priority sectors. Investment priorities are broadly categorized into two levels:
• Macro‑level infrastructure and capital‑intensive projects, which focus on large‑scale national development.
• Sectoral and micro‑level anchor investments, including acquisitions, mergers, and joint venture partnerships that drive industry‑specific growth.
Our approach
At DhaarJhunne, we leverage our extensive network of experts across Ghana and globally to facilitate investor‑matching requests with key public institutions such as the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), the 24‑Hour Economy Authority, Export Acceleration Development, the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, as well as relevant industrial associations. At the private‑sector level, we connect domestic companies with international partners to enable technology and skills transfer, joint venture partnerships, and equity investments that drive growth and expansion. Through this far‑reaching investor network, our team has successfully facilitated over $18 million in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Ghana via joint partnerships, equity financing, and technology transfer initiatives.
International Trade & Market Linkage Advisory
Ghana’s manufacturing sector has positioned itself as one of West Africa’s most strategically placed and rapidly expanding export‑oriented industries. Supported by a stable democratic environment, expanding industrial infrastructure, dynamic technological advancements, and strong adherence to social, ethical, and environmental standards, the country continues to attract international companies seeking resilient, cost‑competitive, and efficient supply‑chain partners. Historically, Ghana’s exports have been dominated by traditional commodities such as gold, oil, cocoa beans, timber, and cash crops, often at the expense of industrial manufactured goods, despite having favorable trade routes, agreements, a strong industrial base, and its role as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat.
Buyers and offtakers from the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom benefit from duty‑free imports from Ghana under preferential trade agreements such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), the EU‑Ghana Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), and the UK‑Ghana Trade Partnership Agreement (TPA). These frameworks enable cost savings of up to 32% or more, making Ghana a highly attractive sourcing destination. Yet, trade volumes with these markets remain underutilized and uncompetitive, signaling untapped potential for trade growth.
Our approach
We focus on working with the Government of Ghana and international development partners to build a coherent and enabling ecosystem through policy prescriptions that empower businesses to access both domestic and export markets, scale up competitively, and participate effectively in national, regional and global trade. We provide strategic technical support to both the private sector and government on the practical implementation of preferential trade agreements such as AGOA, the UK–Ghana Trade Partnership Agreement, the EU–Ghana Economic Partnership Agreement, AfCFTA, and ECOWAS protocols, while leveraging bilateral partnerships to unlock new trade and investment opportunities.
We place particular emphasis on sector‑driven growth, especially apparel and garment manufacturing, through structured trade facilitation, export readiness, and value‑chain development. This approach also entails deliberate recalibration of the domestic business environment by strengthening internal logistics, improving port and trade infrastructure, enhancing export‑friendly policies, and attracting anchor investors to catalyze industrial growth. Complementing this, we provide targeted business support through participation in and coaching for trade missions, market entry initiatives, and strategic partnerships that connect enterprises to buyers, investors, and policy stakeholders across key markets.
Climate and Sustainability Advisory
Ghana faces significant climate and sustainability challenges, with rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, flooding, and sea‑level rise threatening agriculture, health systems, and coastal communities. Despite contributing less than 4% of global emissions, Ghana is disproportionately vulnerable, making climate adaptation and sustainable development urgent priorities.
Ghanaian businesses are operating in a rapidly evolving environment where sustainability is no longer optional but is a competitive advantage. Climate change, resource constraints, and shifting global market expectations are reshaping how companies must position themselves to remain resilient and attractive to investors, partners, and consumers.
Our approach
At DhaarJhunne, we support both government and private sector players in developing strategies for climate‑smart transitions that align with Ghana’s long‑term sustainability goals. We assist our partners in utilizing modern technologies, knowledge, and innovative strategies to contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s Net Zero agenda. In collaboration with development agencies, we implement nature‑based solution projects that restore ecosystems and strengthen community resilience. We also work closely with businesses to advance sustainable agriculture practices that increase productivity while protecting natural resources. In addition, we mobilize climate finance to enable businesses to grow and expand sustainably, ensuring that they remain competitive while contributing to Ghana’s broader climate and sustainability objectives.
Impact Delivery Advisory
In times of disasters, the speed and precision of humanitarian relief can mean the difference between survival and despair. Immediate deployment is not just about moving supplies; it is about mobilising a highly coordinated system where logistics, medical care, shelter, and food distribution are seamlessly integrated. Ultimately, effective humanitarian response is built on collaboration between governments, NGOs, international agencies, and local communities working together to deliver aid that is timely, targeted, and transformative. It is this collective effort that turns chaos into resilience and gives hope in the aftermath of crisis.
Our approach
As a trusted partner to governments and non‑governmental organisations, we have developed strong expertise and distributive networks to deliver large‑scale emergency and reconstruction logistics from suppliers directly to disaster‑affected communities. Our approach ensures that aid reaches the right people both in the immediate aftermath of a crisis and during the critical weeks that follow, while adapting to evolving situational and environmental realities. We guarantee full accountability and end‑to‑end tracking across the humanitarian supply chain, right through to the beneficiary.
Our capabilities include logistics and distribution of relief items across Ghana, procurement from certified suppliers, mobilisation of relief workers for distribution and evacuations, post‑disaster logistics support, and load planning.
Humanitarian Relief Support and Advisory
Most development partners, NGOs, and governments implement social interventions with the aim of achieving specific impacts. The greatest challenge in the development sector is not the design of programmes or the mobilisation of financial resources, but rather the ability to deliver the intended positive and sustainable outcomes.
Our approach
Our partners rely on our expertise to deliver guidance, technical assistance, and programme evaluation support that enables them to measure impact effectively. We conduct spot checks and key informant interviews to capture lessons learned and provide insights that shape learning outcomes, ensuring programmes are directed at the right needs and achieve the intended results. Our delivery model prioritises co‑creation with beneficiaries and stakeholder engagement, applying our expertise where it matters most. By building sustainable pathways with beneficiaries, we foster continuous improvement and empower communities to take ownership of interventions, ensuring long‑term impact and resilience.
Capital Advisory
According to the World Bank’s Improving Access to Finance for Ghanaian SMEs report (2017), Ghana faced an MSME financing gap of $6.1 billion, equivalent to 13% of GDP, while high interest rates made commercial credit facilities largely inaccessible for business growth and expansion. By 2023, the gap had narrowed to $4.8 billion, yet access to affordable capital remained a significant challenge for many enterprises
Our approach
Our experts have cultivated strong networks with Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and raised over $30 million in both equity and sustainable debt financing to support business growth and expansion. Our team of experts delivers precise, tailor‑made support, ranging from business proposal development, due diligence, and systems strengthening to facilitating linkages with financial institutions and guiding critical discussions on business strategies and growth plans.
