Ghana is a West African country located along the Gulf of Guinea. With a population of about 33 million people, Ghana is one of Africa’s most stable democracies since returning to civilian rule in 1992.
Ghana’s economy relies heavily on agriculture, mining (particularly gold and cocoa), and increasingly, oil production. The nation is the world’s second-largest cocoa producer and has significant gold reserves. Cultural traditions remain strong, with festivals, traditional music and dance, and distinctive kente clothes.
The climate is tropical, with a wet season from April to October and a dry season from November to March. Ghana is one of the more peaceful and politically stable countries in West Africa, an important regional hub for business and diplomacy.
