The Swiss government plans to continue its investment in Ghana's oil palm sector as part of the Ghana Private Sector Competitiveness Programme (GPSC), following the conclusion of the Sustainable West Africa Palm Oil Programme (SWAPP II). The Swiss government's involvement in the sector since 2017 has focused on the cashew and palm oil sectors, with the aim of making these sectors sustainable and providing more jobs.
