Top Stories from Ghana
In recent weeks Ghana has been buzzed about for a handful of big moves. The government announced a new renewable‑energy push, aiming to add 1 GW of solar capacity by 2027. That effort is already attracting foreign investors looking for clean‑energy projects in West Africa.
On the economic front, the Ghanaian cedi showed a modest rebound after a stretch of depreciation, thanks to tighter monetary policy and higher cocoa export earnings. Analysts say the trend may help curb inflation, but they also warn about external debt pressures.
Culture lovers have a reason to smile too – the annual Chale Wote Street Art Festival returned to Accra with record attendance. Local artists painted murals, performed music and showcased fashion, turning the city into a vibrant open‑air gallery.
Travel Tips for Visiting Ghana
If Ghana is on your bucket list, start with the basics: a valid passport, a visa (unless you’re from a visa‑exempt country), and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Flights land mainly at Kotoka International Airport in Accra, where you’ll find car‑rental desks and shuttle services to the city.
Accommodations range from boutique hotels in Osu to eco‑lodges near Kakum National Park. Booking ahead during the high season (December to February) saves money and guarantees a spot near popular attractions.
Getting around is easy with trotro minibusses for short trips, while reputable taxi companies offer airport transfers. For a deeper look, consider hiring a local guide who can navigate the market stalls, explain the history of Cape Coast Castle, and suggest the best spots for jollof rice.
Safety wise, keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas and drink bottled water. Most locals are friendly and speak English, so don’t hesitate to ask for directions or a local recommendation.
Finally, remember to respect local customs. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and always ask permission before taking photos of people. With these tips, you’ll enjoy a smooth, memorable adventure across Ghana’s beautiful coastlines, bustling cities and welcoming villages.
