The Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) has welcomed the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) as a strategic partner.
Professor Abednego Feehi Okoe Amartey, Vice-Chancellor of the UPSA, would thereby represent the institution on the CWEIC Global Advisory Council.
The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) is a prestigious state university that offers higher education in Ghana in both academic and professional business subjects.
According to a press release from the UPSA's Registrar, Dr. Koryoe Anim-Wright, the organisation has more than 50 years of experience and has earned a reputation as the oldest human resource development institution in Ghana for professional accounting and management.
It stated that the CWEIC was a commercial, not-for-profit membership organisation with a formal mandate from the Commonwealth Heads of Government to facilitate trade and investment throughout the 56 member nations of the Commonwealth and that it boasted a vast network of more than 130 strategic partners, including Commonwealth governments, businesses, multilateral institutions, and the academic community.
It said that the CWEIC has established a reputation as a reliable middleman, facilitating crucial links between industry and government as well as between strategic partners eager to cooperate.
It stated that UPSA opted to join the CWEIC network to create new strategic partnerships and international collaboration after a visit to Ghana by the CWEIC Deputy Chairman, Lord Swire.
