- Ghana, located on the West African coast, is recognized as a model of peace and stability in a region that has historically been fraught with political upheavals, armed conflicts, and governance challenges. From the southern shores to the northern savannah regions, and from the eastern Volta River to the western cocoa-growing regions, Ghana consistently demonstrates its commitment to peace, and economic growth. Later in the video we explore some middle to upper class residential areas and then head over to the old Accra, Ghana Capital city where it all began.
Ghana’s journey toward becoming a beacon of peace began with its independence from British colonial rule in 1957, making it the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence. Under the leadership of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana initially pursued a socialist and pan-African vision, which, although revolutionary, also experienced political challenges. Despite periods of instability in the following decades, Ghana emerged stronger.
The success of Ghana’s peace lies in its political system, which promotes dialogue, inclusivity, and respect for human rights. The decentralized nature of governance allows for greater participation from local communities, ensuring that citizens in all corners of the country-from the bustling streets of Accra in the south to the serene plains of Tamale in the north-feel represented.
In a region where conflicts have often destabilized neighboring countries, Ghana stands out as a stabilizing force. By consistently prioritizing peaceful diplomacy, Ghana has been able to maintain good relations with its neighbors, including Burkina Faso to the north, Côte d'Ivoire to the west, and Togo to the east.
The country’s relative prosperity, compared to many of its regional counterparts, has been a significant factor in maintaining peace. With a growing middle class, expanding industries, and consistent economic growth, Ghanaians have had more opportunities to engage in productive activities rather than resort to conflict.
However While Ghana is often praised for its peace and stability, it is important to acknowledge the socio-economic disparities that exist between the more developed southern regions and the relatively less developed northern regions.
For those visiting Ghana, one of the most striking aspects of the country is the profound sense of peace that permeates all corners of the nation. Tourists often describe their experience as "sobering" due to the calm, welcoming nature of the Ghanaian people and the deep sense of safety that pervades both urban and rural areas.
Known as the “Gateway to Africa,” Ghanaians extend warmth and kindness to strangers, reinforcing the sense of peace that defines the nation.
Ghana’s reputation as one of the most stable and peaceful countries in Africa has also positioned it as a popular destination for both expatriates and local entrepreneurs. With a growing economy and increasing foreign investments, understanding the cost of living, housing situation, and the ease of doing business in Ghana is essential for potential investors, business owners, and those considering relocation.
Ghana is considered one of the best places in West Africa for doing business. Over the years, the government has taken steps to simplify the process of starting and running a business, making it more accessible for both locals and foreigners.
For entrepreneurs, Ghana’s growing economy presents significant opportunities, particularly in sectors like agriculture, technology, and services. However, there are still some challenges to consider. While it’s relatively straightforward to start a business, accessing credit can be difficult due to high-interest rates. Borrowing from local banks is expensive, and small and medium-sized enterprises often struggle to secure loans.
Infrastructure in Ghana has improved considerably in recent years, though some challenges remain. The country’s power supply, for instance, has improved, but occasional outages still occur. Businesses that rely heavily on electricity often invest in generators to ensure uninterrupted service.
The cost of living in Ghana is affordable by global standards, Basic living costs, such as food, transportation, and utilities, are very reasonable, especially when relying on local products.
Electricity, water, and internet costs are relatively moderate with Monthly utility bills, depending on consumption, ranging from $25 to $65. For transportation, owning a vehicle is a more expensive proposition due to high import taxes, but many residents and expatriates find that public transportation and ride-hailing services meet their needs.

Concentration of development on Capitals destabilize the market prices and make the life for local people in the country very difficult.
@@dennisbrown7930true. Investors and local businesses should spread to those regions and towns
Arm conflicts ? In Ghana ? Do your research well there has never been war in Ghana
Heights are the main problems of Accra’s building infrastructures.
Tall buildings don't improve quality of life
We cut our coat according to our size
Accra's ground level sights [ roads, sidewalks and drainage plus cleanliness] are low median quality. That's the main problem.
@@ericmoore5770 I know but tall buildings create extra beauty
Ghanaians are mostly short, and that why they're scared tall buildings @ericmoore5770
😬🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Not a trotro in sight no mention of water shortages and the fact Ghana had to go to the World Bank to bail it out for the 18th time since independence.The political class and the Chiefs live very well as for the rest well a great many struggle.
Same in Europe and United States
@@EmmanuelBediako-yg8ne what no trotros and the World bank ?
Answer your own rhetorical question
I saw trotro before the investment Bank was shown
I bet you don't know what trotros are. You keep posting shit about videos projecting Ghana. Why should you feel threatened by such videos. Does anything online need to be seen as a competition? Get help for you insecurities.
