Local Content & the Continental Free Trade

The idea of free trade agreement was birth in the 18 th Ordinary session of the assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union(AU) in January 2012 in Addis Ababa, Egypt. In Ghana, we believe that the local content should last beyond the oil and gas discovery and have a transformative impact on the economy creating backward and forward linkages and building competitive domestic businesses in the industry.
