Stakeholder meetings to assess the sustainable smart port status of Tema Port (Ghana)

Enhancing the "Sustainable Smart Port" status of Tema Port

From 7 to 9 October, UNCTAD wil conduct stakeholder consultations as part of the Sustainable Smart Port (SSP) assessment of Tema Port. Using UNCTAD’s methodology, the assessment evaluates the port’s readiness to:

1. Scale up the use, production, distribution of alternative energy sources (renewable energy)
2. Enhance energy efficiency.

As an integral part of the methodology, the consultations will consist of bilateral meetings with key stakeholders. Their objective is to:

• Discuss and validate preliminary findings of ongoing research
• Collect additional insights to shape recommendations for capacity-building activities and advance SSP reforms
• Ensure that proposed solutions are relevant, practical, and aligned with national priorities for energy transition and port development

Key stakeholders participating in these dialogues include, among others, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, Ghana Grid Company, Regional Maritime University and terminal operators.
