      Significant and persistent inequalities in gender representation, youth employment, disability inclusion, and community access to economic opportunity remain central challenges in Ghana's business and public sectors. Investors and development finance institutions are increasingly incorporating social performance metrics into investment evaluation criteria, while multinational partners demand measurable progress on diversity and inclusion. Many organisations in Ghana lack the baseline data, structured strategies, and measurement systems needed to demonstrate credible, improving social performance to these stakeholders.

      KPMG Ghana helps organisations build the strategies, measurement systems, policies, and workplace cultures needed to create genuinely inclusive organisations and deliver measurable social impact in their own operations, supply chains, and communities. We work with corporates, financial institutions, government bodies, and development organisations to design IDE approaches that are grounded in data, aligned with international frameworks, and contextualised for Ghana.

      We bring a Ghanaian perspective to every engagement, grounded in a deep understanding of local labour laws, cultural dynamics, and the social development priorities most relevant to Ghana.

      We also support organisations in measuring and communicating broader social impact to investors, regulators, and communities.

      What we do

      api

      Gender Equity Assessment and Pay Gap Analysis

      We conduct structured gender equity assessments examining representation across levels and functions, analysing pay gaps using consistent and defensible methodology, and identifying structural barriers to women's advancement in recruitment and promotion processes. Assessments produce clear, evidence-based findings and prioritised recommendations that give management and the board an honest picture of current performance and what meaningful improvement requires.

      IDE Training and Awareness Programmes

      We design and deliver tailored IDE training covering unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, allyship, cultural competence, and the business and societal case for diversity — for boards, management, and the wider workforce. Programmes are contextualised for the Ghanaian environment and evaluated against measurable learning and behavioural outcomes rather than compliance tick-boxes.

      Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy Development

      We develop comprehensive IDE strategies defining ambition and commitments, identifying priority areas for action, setting measurable targets with defined timelines, and establishing accountability structures. Strategies are grounded in the Ghanaian context, explicitly connected to business objectives, and designed to be both ambitious and achievable with clear board-to-operational accountability.

      Inclusive Workplace Policy Design

      We review existing policies against international best practice and Ghanaian labour law, and develop the policy frameworks across recruitment, promotion, flexible working, parental leave, harassment prevention, disability accommodation, and grievance mechanisms needed to support genuine inclusion. We ensure policies are actively communicated, understood, and applied throughout the organisation.
