Internship with the Trade Council in Ghana

Are you interested in international business development and trade? Do you have a knack for communications and a keen interest in economic diplomacy in action? We are currently recruiting an intern to join the trade team at the Embassy of Denmark in Accra. Despite challenges from the impact of Covid-19, Danish companies show strong interest in exploring the growth markets in Ghana and the West African region. As a lower middle-income country determined to move ‘beyond aid’, Ghana has great focus on strengthening the economy and increasing investments in the private sector. Ghana has recently been selected to host the secretariat for the new African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and aims to become an economic and digital hub in the region. At the Trade Council of the Danish Embassy, Accra, we assist and advise Danish companies in their business development and public affairs activities in Ghana and West Africa. As an intern in the field of trade and investments, you will get comprehensive insights into the markets of Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire and work on projects within the Embassy’s focus sectors: food & agriculture, tech, maritime and water & environment. You will also have a leading role in the Trade Council’s communication and marketing efforts in close cooperation with the other Danish embassies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
