The Ghana Oil and Gas for Inclusive Growth (GOGIG) programme has been launched to help ensure that the oil and gas sector promotes inclusive growth. GOGIG would support the institutions which manage the country’s oil resources to deliver on effective public policy through strengthening regulation of the sector and improving revenue capture to maximise the direct benefits from the oil and gas sector. Speaking at the launch, Mr Jon Benjamin, British High Commissioner, said even with low oil prices, there are opportunities for inclusive growth from natural resources. He said a casual look at oil-rich countries around the world showed that just having oil is no basis for sustained, inclusive growth. He called on civil society to ask the difficult questions about the governance of the natural resources, such as award of contracts and the lifestyle of officials tasked with the management of the natural resources.
