More than 2,300 patrons and over 150 exhibitors took part in the just ended Made-In-Ghana Bazaar in Accra, the third in series, which is a flagship programme of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration. The products on exhibition ranged from traditional crafts and artisanal works to manufactured products with innovative technology. The three-day event was on the theme: “Promoting Made-In-Ghana Goods and Services for Economic Prosperity,” organised by the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
It was in collaboration with institutions like the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, Investment Promotion Centre, the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, National Gas Company and the Association of Ghana Industries. The Made-In-Ghana Bazaar seeks to promote Ghanaian products internationally, using the network of Ghana’s diplomatic missions. It was launched in 2018 following the Government’s decision to re-establish the Economic, Trade and Investment Bureau of the Ministry in 2017, pursuant to its economic and industrial transformation agenda.
Mr Ramses Joseph Cleland, the Chief Director, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, in his closing remarks, the bazaar had been filled with exciting moments and activities, providing exhibitors (small and medium-size enterprises) with the requisite platform to showcase and sell their products to the public. It had been successful in all aspects, created the needed platform to prom.
