Engaging private sector in NDC implementation - Assessment of private sector investment potential in the energy sector

October 16, 2020

Transforming Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) into tangible actions that lead to long-term zero-carbon and climate-resilient development requires financing. Access to finance is fundamental to realize the objectives set by the NDCs. However, countries continue to face challenges in securing the financial resources needed to achieve their NDC targets. A significant share of the financing required is expected to be provided by the private sector.

To increase private investments in NDC targets, it is important that the private sector stakeholders engaged in markets and industries understand the business environment, the current market and the investment potential in specific sectors.

This report estimates the private sector investment potential for delivering NDC sectoral targets for the energy sector in Ghana through assessments of the NDC targets, the enabling environment, the current market and Ghana’s investment potential. Its findings will allow for mapping private sector actors in the energy sector, one of the country’s NDC priority sectors.
