Why train in Accra
Accra is a stable, English-speaking hub for West African delegations.
Risalat has scheduled 18 programmes in Accra, and the subjects run most often here are infrastructure and urban development, climate change and environment and audit and internal control.
Sessions combine short inputs, case studies and group work on participants' own files, so officials and project staff leave with work they can use. Courses in Accra are open to participants from any country, and suit delegations from across the Africa region.

What teams can learn in Accra
Accra provides visiting officials with valuable exposure to public sector management, regional integration, and governance reforms. Ghana hosts the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat, making the capital a key focal point for continental trade policy and regulatory harmonisation. The city is also home to established state utilities, such as the Electricity Company of Ghana and the Ghana Water Company Limited, which offer operational insights into urban utility management and infrastructure financing. Additionally, participants can observe the work of statutory bodies such as the Public Procurement Authority, known for implementing national procurement standards, and the Bank of Ghana, recognised for its digital payment systems and regulatory frameworks across the financial sector.
This city is best suited for programmes in trade facilitation, public procurement, utility regulation, and donor project compliance due to its central role in regional commerce and structured institutional frameworks.
A programme week in Accra
Participants usually arrive the day before the programme through Kotoka International (ACC), are met at the airport and settle into the hotel. Sessions run from about 9:00 to 16:00 local time (GMT), with practical work on the participants' own cases each day. Where the programme includes one, a field or study visit takes place mid-week, and a city tour and a welcome dinner give the group time to know each other. On the last day each participant presents an action plan and receives a certificate that anyone can verify online.
To join from abroad, register and complete payment at least 30 days before the start; the invitation letter for the visa is issued after registration, and the free Visa Check shows what your passport needs for Ghana.
