Ghana to champion ECOWAS adoption of Accra Convention on cargo documents – Trade Minister

The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, says Ghana is committed to signing and ratifying the United Nations Convention on Negotiable Cargo Documents to help transform trade finance, cross-border commerce and digital cargo documentation.

She said the Convention will be opened for signature in Accra on October 26, 2026, making Ghana the host of a significant international treaty-signing event.

The Minister described the sensitisation programme as an important opportunity for ECOWAS Member States to develop a common understanding of the Convention and assess its implications for trade and regional integration.
