Ghana's Embassy in Berne represents West Africa's second-largest economy in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria, facilitating bilateral relations built on substantial Swiss development cooperation, technical expertise transfer, and business connections linking Swiss investment to Ghana's emerging sectors beyond traditional cocoa and gold exports. Established in 1966 following Ghana's 1957 independence and initial consulate opening in Geneva, the embassy coordinates Switzerland's significant development assistance delivered through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), supporting democratic governance, sustainable economic development, and climate adaptation programs in Ghana's rapidly urbanizing regions and agricultural areas vulnerable to environmental challenges. Swiss engagement encompasses expertise in water management, renewable energy, and sustainable agriculture alongside financial services sector cooperation connecting Swiss banking innovation to Accra's growing fintech ecosystem. The embassy serves Switzerland's Ghanaian diaspora community while facilitating visa applications for Swiss tourists discovering Ghana's Atlantic coast beaches, wildlife reserves including Kakum National Park, and UNESCO World Heritage slave trade fortifications that attract European heritage tourists exploring West African colonial history.
