Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang met with leaders of the 2026 Global South Academic Forum in Shanghai to learn from China's rural development and poverty alleviation strategies. Discussions, chaired by Professor Lu Xinyu, focused on cooperation and knowledge sharing in community-driven growth, fisheries, local governance, sports programs, and infrastructure projects.
The trip is part of Ghana's strategy to examine proven development models that can be tailored to Ghana's unique circumstances to promote equitable progress, empower local populations, and enhance living standards nationwide. China's strategy for lifting over 800 million individuals out of poverty through targeted rural initiatives, investments in agriculture, and infrastructure upgrades has become a global model for emerging countries.
The Vice President's team aims to translate these insights into policy decisions, particularly in reinforcing local governance, expanding the fisheries and aquaculture sector, and investing in community-level infrastructure and youth athletics. Further discussions with academic and development entities are expected during the Vice President's stay in China.
