A high-level delegation from the Management Development and Productivity Institute (MDPI), led by its Director-General, Prof. Elijah Yendaw, has paid a working visit to the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) to explore avenues for strategic collaboration aimed at enhancing institutional capacity across the country.
The MDPI delegation included Eric Sarfo Danquah, Head of Business Development; Joseph Aggrey Junior, Head of IT; and Godwin Nyarko, Business Development Officer—each bringing critical expertise to the discussions.
They were warmly received by Simon Madjie, CEO of GIPC, together with Enyonam Agbeko, Director of the HR & Administration Division. The engagement focused on identifying joint initiatives, with capacity building, staff development, and institutional strengthening emerging as central themes.
During the meeting, both institutions acknowledged the need for continuous professional development to meet evolving national and global demands. MDPI presented its wide range of training capabilities and reaffirmed its mandate to support public and private sector organizations in improving productivity and operational efficiency.
GIPC, on its part, expressed interest in empowering its workforce—especially newly recruited staff across all regional offices—to ensure coherence, efficiency, and improved service delivery at all touchpoints. By the end of the discussions, both parties agreed on a structured plan for MDPI to provide comprehensive training for all GIPC staff, including senior management, across all regions of Ghana.
The dialogue concluded on an optimistic note, with Prof. Yendaw and CEO Madjie reaffirming their shared commitment to strengthening institutional partnerships that support national development. The proposed collaboration signals a forward-looking step toward enhancing Ghana’s investment climate through well-trained, highly efficient personnel.
Both institutions expressed confidence that this partnership will lay a solid foundation for long-term cooperation in capacity building, productivity enhancement, and strategic human resource development—contributing to Ghana’s broader economic transformation agenda.
