In partnership with the Ghana Trade Fair Company, WACOMP Ghana organised a conference on the competitiveness of the cosmetics sector in Ghana. The objective of the conference was to sensitize cosmetics producers in the Northern Cluster to the quality standards and procedures recommended by the Ghana Standards Authority and the Food and Drugs Authority. Organised as part of the 24th International Trade Fair of Ghana last March, the conference was attended by some 50 companies which were able to familiarise with main registration and certification processes for cosmetics and personal care products. A small guide has been developed to support producers in complying with these procedures and made available on https://wacompghana.org/publications/technical/.
At the end of the exchanges, it was strongly recommended to organize an international conference on cosmetics in Ghana. More information will be available in due course.
