Ministry Of Foreign Affairs, Ghana

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established in 1957 with Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, then leader of Government Business, as the first Foreign Minister. A Permanent Secretary was the head of administration, aided by Principal Assistant Secretaries who headed the various departments. On 6th March, 1957, when Ghana became independent, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah made a historic foreign policy pronouncement. The concept of free, proud, confident Africa was to dominate the foreign policy of Ghana. The independent state of Ghana had at its disposal, competent diplomats who had been selected and trained in 1955 to implement her foreign policy. Three very senior civil servants were also drafted into the Foreign Ministry to occupy higher posts. Dr. Nkrumah established an autonomous African Affairs Secretariat under his personal direction primarily to promote and effect his vision of African Unity – a foreign policy issue which normally should have fallen within the purview of the Foreign Ministry. After his overthrow in February 1966, the Secretariat was incorporated into the Ministry. The Ministry and its diplomatic missions abroad constitute the Ghana Foreign Service charged with the control, direction and coordination of Ghana’s external relations. In addition to diplomatic missions, honorary consulates are established to complement the work of the former in the promotion of investment, trade and tourism as well as the discharge of consular functions in areas with significant Ghanaian communities. The name of the Ministry has undergone various changes in Ghana’s recent history. Its current name, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, was designated in 2009 to emphasis the importance of regional integration as a foreign policy objective.

Volta Aluminium Company Ltd

VALCO, a major long-term investment in Ghana is one of the largest enterprises in the country and the second largest smelter in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is a major producer of primary aluminium for the local and international markets. The establishment of VALCO was a result of the vision of the first President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, to establish an integrated aluminium industry in the country. The Company is therefore a product of the meeting of minds of Dr Nkrumah and the late Edgar Kaiser, Chairman and Founder of Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical (KACC), the immediate past majority shareholder of VALCO. VALCO's history can be structured into two; namely, the illustrious history from the days of its establishment in 1967 until the exit of Kaiser Aluminum from VALCO's operations in 2004; and the period after the exit of Kaiser to the present. This second period, all things being equal, could be aptly described as the "Destiny-Shaping, Game-Changing" of VALCO's history. Construction of the VALCO plant began in 1964 and commercial production of aluminium began in March 1967. Prior to that. series of discussions had taken place that culminated in the signing of an agreement for the construction of the Akosombo Hydro-electric Dam. Earlier in the 1950's, studies had been conducted on the establishment of a hydroelectric dam and a ready buyer of the energy generated. An aluminium smelter appeared to be the most obvious choice and discussions with a number of investors resulted in Kaiser Aluminium and Reynolds Metal Company taking the mantle to set up the VALCO aluminium smelter. Thus, VALCO became the economic justification for the construction of the Akosombo hydroelectric dam as a result of a "take or pay" contract that guaranteed the purchase of a substantial part of the power to be produced by VALCO. This paved the way for the Government of Ghana to obtain the necessary loans to begin the construction of the Akosombo hydroelectric dam. In March
