Private Enterprise Foundation

The Private Enterprise Foundation (PEF) was founded on the initiative of four major Business Associations viz. Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), Ghana National Chamber of Commerce (GNCC), the Ghana Employers’ Association (GEA) and the Federation of Associations of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE) which felt the need to come together to exert greater influence on policy initiatives for the creation of an enabling environment in which private sector businesses can thrive as partners in the economic development of the country.

PEF is non-profit making, non-political, autonomous institution, incorporated on January 24, 1994, as a Company Limited by guarantee under the Ghana Companies Code, Act 179 with AGI, GNCC, GEA and FAGE as the founding members. Membership is open to the private business and trade associations. The Ghana Association of Bankers has been admitted as the fifth founding member. Other newly admitted members include Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA), Ghana Association of Tourism Federation (GHATOF).

The strategic objectives of PEP include the following:

• To represent the interests of the private sector business community, particularly, interests common to its members as well as those of the individual member associations.
  
• To maintain close relationships with all private sector business organisations and to be the lead organisation that plays an advocacy role in influencing policies and regulations of Government and other internal as well as external bodies for the creation of an enabling economic environment that would ensure that private business in Ghana can increasingly contribute to national development.
