AFRIPANET 2009 Survey to begin October
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
Accra, Aug 18, Ghanadot - This year’s Africa Investment
Promotion Agency Network (AfrIPANet) survey is to begin in
October, while the final report will be out in April 2010.
To this end, a three-day workshop was organized last week to
train 30 enumerators, out of which 16 of them will be selected
to undertake the investor perception survey for Ghana in Accra.
The AfIPANet, which is a United Nations Industrial Development
Organisation (UNIDO) programme aimed at providing African
Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) with up-to-date and
accurate investor information.
The 30 enumerators were drawn for the Ministry of Trade and
Industry (MoTI) and the Institute of Statistical, Social,
Services and Economic Research (ISSER).
The survey will be conducted by ISSER and analyse by the UNIDO
targeting about 15,000 companies in West Africa, while, 8,000
companies in Ghana will take part in the survey.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, the two UNIDO Consultants,
Professor John Henley and Mr. Florian Kaulich, who were the
trainers at the workshop, said the workshop would sharpen the
skills and enhance the knowledge of the enumerators to enable
them, perform their duties well.
According them, one of the purposes of the survey is to improve
the quality of investor information on the African continent by
thereby attracting more investors into the continent.
Based on the need for African countries to attract quality
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to support the diversification
of their economies, the UNIDO project designed to aid African
IPAs to promote and improve upon targeted investment promotion.
Mr. Kaulich stressed that the programme would analyse the
characteristics of different categories of investors, discern
emerging trends in investment flows and strategise and provide
incentives to reinforce the positive impacts and desired trends
for FDI.
The objectives of the programme are to increase investment flows
(both domestic and foreign) into the more productive sectors,
maximize the impact on employment, improve technological
competitiveness and ensure supply chain integration, Prof.
Henley intimated.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment
Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. George Aboagye noted that survey
would the centre with details of the perception of the
investors.
He noted that it would serve as a platform to compare the
perception with other African countries and appealed to
enumerators to put the knowledge they acquired at the workshop
into good to benefit the country.
