Last-Mile Logistics & Road-Freight Brokerage Platform Capitalising on Ghana's Big Push 32-Road-Project Corridor Expansion

Ghana is experiencing a decisive macroeconomic rebound in 2025-2026. Real GDP expanded 6% in 2025 (up from 5.8% in 2024), driven by services (ICT +13.1%, finance +9.3%) and a recovering agricultural sector. FDI surged to $2.61 billion in 2025 — more than four times the $652 million recorded in 2024 — across 253 projects spanning petroleum, manufacturing, free zones, and technology, with over $5 billion in additional commitments announced. President Mahama's 'Big Push' infrastructure programme committed $1.1 billion for 2025 alone, with 32 road projects approved as recently as July 24, 2025. The Bank of Ghana's National Payment Systems Strategy 2025–2029 is formalising open banking and fintech infrastructure, while the Feed Ghana Programme is mobilising capital into agro-processing value chains. Ghana's EU Economic Partnership Agreement and AfCFTA hub status provide European investors with preferential market-access advantages unavailable to most competitors.

Ghana's Ministry of Finance issued commitment authorisations for 32 road infrastructure projects on July 24, 2025 under the Big Push Programme, directly expanding commercial corridors into previously underserved communities. The government has committed GH¢13.9 billion ($1.1 billion) to priority infrastructure in 2025, rising to $1.6 billion by 2028, creating a multi-year pipeline of newly accessible markets that digitally-enabled freight brokers and last-mile logistics operators can monetise from day one of road completion.

Market drivers:

- 32 Big Push road projects approved July 2025 opening new commercial corridors and reducing transit times

- Transport and storage GDP sub-sector grew 8.6% in Q1 2025, reflecting rising trade volumes across West Africa

- AfCFTA cross-border trade flows using Accra as a hub increasing inter-regional freight demand

- Ghana Free Zones Authority attracting 42 export-manufacturing projects in 2025, generating outbound logistics demand

Risks:

- Road project construction timelines frequently run over schedule in Ghana, delaying corridor activation

- Competition from well-capitalised regional logistics incumbents (e.g. Bolloré/Africa Global Logistics) on primary corridors
