Ghana Circular Economy Centre The Ghana Circular Economy Center project aims to support the commercialization of circular economy technologies in Ghana. Ghana aims to become a global leader in a just transition to circular economy and has made significant progress in advancing the circular agenda in the area of plastics and plastic waste. To create the necessary legal framework at the national level, the National Plastics Management Policy (NPMP) was developed under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment, Science and Innovation (MESTI). As part of the institutional framework of Ghana#s NPMP, a Resource Recovery Secretariat (RRS) will be established under MESTI to support implementation of NPMP, including guidance to the allocation of public resources towards different interventions. The RRS will be responsible and dedicated to the achievement of the Policy#s aim and the fulfilment of 17 Strategic Actions to be taken by public entities ranging from Ministries, Agencies to the Parliament, laid down in the Policy#s Implementation Plan.

Supporting Green Industrial Development in Ghana: Biogas Technology and Business for Sustainable Growth This project seeks to promote the transfer of biogas technology between Korea and Ghana through the following interlinked interventions: a) piloting of an industrial-scale biogas plant, and business and enterprise development support for biogas companies; b) conducting targeted research on industrial-scale biogas technologies; and c) awareness raising and policy recommendations. These interventions, seen together, will address existing barriers to market-based dissemination of industrial-scale biogas technologies in Ghana. The project approach is predicated on the findings of a detailed analysis of the state of biogas industry and lessons from various past and ongoing initiatives/projects in Ghana. The Government of Ghana is fully committed to renewable energy technologies as shown by the passing of the Renewable Energy Bill in December 2011. This project will build on this solid commitment and leadership by the Government of Ghana and will result in change in business culture towards green industry. Given the relevance of the biogas technology to the greater ECOWAS sub-region, it is foreseen that Ghana will serve as centre of excellence and partner with ECREEE to disseminated biogas technologies in the sub-region.
