\u00a0In a bid to position Ghana as the preferred destination of choice for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) in Africa, German Coop\u00aderation, Ghana Investment Pro\u00admotion Centre (GIPC), and its partners launched the \u2018Business Outsourcing Services Associa\u00adtion of Ghana\u2019 (BOSAG).<\/p>\n
The initiative marks a signifi\u00adcant milestone in Ghana\u2019s effort to tap into the global BPO and IT outsourcing (ITO) market, valued at $1.01 trillion annually with a total workforce of about 43 million people across the globe.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the launch dubbed: \u2018GBS Partnership Fo\u00adrum,\u2019 held in Accra on Tuesday, Mr John Duti, Team Leader, the Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Inter\u00ad<\/p>\n
\u00a0nationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, said that the BPO sector had the potential to unlock Gha\u00adna\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are aware of how the Philippines, once heavily depen\u00addent on agriculture, has posi\u00adtioned itself into a global BPO powerhouse, employing over 1.3 million people in the process and generating approximately $30 billion annually. In Africa, Egypt and South Africa have taken the lead and are creating jobs for their youth. Ghana is equally in the position to do the same with the attention now on Africa,\u201d Mr Duti explained.<\/p>\n
In his remarks, Mr Yofi Grant, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GIPC, noted that the initiative aligned with the govern\u00adment\u2019s vision to use digitalisation to create jobs, foster innovation, and sustain economic develop\u00adment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe GIPC, in collaboration with key stakeholders like BOSAG and the German Cooperation, is committed to leveraging Ghana\u2019s competitive advantages to attract global companies and position Ghana as the preferred destina\u00adtion for outsourcing services in Africa. We will work diligently to implement the recommendations outlined in the action plan and create a thriving BPO ecosystem in Ghana,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Kojo Afedzi Hayford, Board Chairman of BOSAG, urged stakeholders in the BPO sector to support the cause of making the sector the leader of economic growth in Ghana.<\/p>\n
He outlined that, \u201cBOSAG will not only advance the interests of member companies through trade facilitation and showcase Ghana to global customers as a credible outsourcing destination but, most importantly, be a strong advocate that will partner with the government to create a jobs for Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n
The GBS Partnership Fo\u00adrum also highlighted the official handover of a 12-page document<\/p>\n
