A Strong Partnership for the Future

Ghana and Germany have been close partners since 1957. We have many joint achievement to be proud of. Our cooperation has had an impact on Ghana’s social and economic development in various areas. But more importantly, both countries are still looking in the same direction: whilst Ghana decided to move “beyond aid”, Germany vouched to strengthen African ownership and to put the days of “aid” and of “donors and recipients” behind us.
