In this project, we developed a paper on policy and regulatory options for the development of a National Gas Policy. The paper also highlights the potential impact of gas development on communities particularly on vulnerable groups including women, children, youth and people with disability. The paper will be discussed at three public forums to incorporate citizens’ views into the policy. The completed paper will be presented to the Ministry of Energy for consideration. The project is funded by STAR Ghana.
The national gas policy consultation should include the imapct of offshore oil and gas exploration on the coastal zone. The management of the coastal zone as a result of oil and gas activities should be integrated into this policy.
