G17 Ghana

Ghana, country of western Africa, situated on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Although relatively small in area and population, Ghana is one of the leading countries of Africa, partly because of its considerable natural wealth and partly because it was the first black African country south of the Sahara to achieve independence from colonial rule. As the country experiences this development, the government has been a vocal supporter of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with President Akufo Addo serving as one of two United Nations SDG Advocates along with Norway's Prime Minister Erna Sollberg.
