The passage of Startup Acts in Tunisia and Senegal, in 2018 and 2019 respectively, paved the way for multiple proposals in other African countries. Rwanda Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda have jumped on the bandwagon and are in various stages of passing their versions of a startup act to improve the enabling environment for startups and investors.
Ghana launched a roadmap on October 29, 2020, to kick off the drafting process of it's Startup Act. The purpose of the Act is to provide an incentive framework to promote the creation and development of Startups in Ghana.
The Ghana Startup Bill Technical Working Committee (TWC) set up to lead the drafting process is organizing regional roadshows to engage startups and other stakeholders across the country on the draft startup bill. The consultative workshops would ensure all voices, local entrepreneurial challenges and inputs are captured in the startup bill.
