Very proud that the UK has been recognised for its part in Ghana's autoassembly revolution! Thanks and admiration to Automotive Assmebly Association of Ghana. Ghana now boasts 14 international companies assembling top quality vehicles here
What a journey! One of growth, change and a lot of learning.
The past 5 years have shaped me in ways I won’t forget.
It’s been a privilege to work alongside such passionate changemakers @ukinghana. Thank you Ghana!

Proud of our partnership with @mohgovgh and @WHOGhana, strengthening health systems, tackling non-communicable diseases.
“It is our hope that this report serves as a foundation for targeted, cost-effective actions that empower Ghanaians to take charge of their health and reduce the burden of #NCDs.” — Mr Dominic Farrell, Health Advisor @UKinGhana at the launch of the Ghana STEPS Report 2023.

Increasing tax revenue is essential to improving the quality of services to citizens.
@Lord_Collins visited @GhanaRevenue to see how the 🇬🇧🇬🇭 partnership has helped improve tax revenue since 2016.

2 of the 17 Chevenning scholars setting off to the UK are mental health professionals - which should please @GhanaSomubi. Nana Akua (Imperial) and Bernard Akogobuglo (Liverpool Schoolof Trop Med) - are amazing people who will change mental health in Ghana.
Chevening scholars, exceptional people. Meet Lt Commander Robert Agong of the Ghana Navy, off to study Maritime Law in the UK. What an asset he'll be on his return for Ghana and for our UK Ghana partnership
Love this profile of @valerielabi of Wahu ebike fame in the UK press today. theguardian.com/business/art…

Brilliant, important series of videos from our partners on the FCDOs mental health programme, @GhanaSomubi . These videos show the impact we can have with smart, effective and compassionate interventions. ghanasomubi.com/watch-videos…
Ever looked around at your colleagues and wondered how talented they are? Extraordinarily, if you work at @UKinGhana. These singers and players were glorious at our musical evening last week. Why not test out your colleagues?
Not a frightening episode of Dr Who, but a @UKinGhana celebration of Food Safety Day! Our Animal Health System Strengthening is training
50 beekeepers and vets and developing a bee health strengthening curriculum. Just one of many food safety partnerships with @mofaghana1
Joining @HCThompson001 on this trip to see @geop_moe_gov_gh in action was the highlight of the month!

🌳The 🇬🇧 is committed to valuing nature's worth, as highlighted by the #DasguptaReview. As such, it’s allocating £1bn over the next 10 years to support forest governance and forest-friendly businesses in 🇬🇭and 15 other countries.” -

The UK has just issued its White Paper on Development bit.ly/3sJnwIW.
It's graced by an excellent quote by His Excellency the President: "I welcome the UK's recognition of a new, more equal partnership with Ghana and Africa, and the need for African voices to be heard"
Plenty for me, the new UK Development Director in Ghana, and my team, to do with our partners here.
We'll have to work hard to meet the White Paper's ambitions on poverty reduction - and especially on how we work together.
