Abstract

Post-conflict African states often face significant economic challenges that can hinder business development and growth. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with a quantitative survey to gather insights from local entrepreneurs and economic stakeholders. The survey reveals that while legal frameworks have improved, regulatory compliance remains a major barrier for businesses in post-conflict Ghana. Additionally, access to finance is limited, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Post-conflict environments present both risks and opportunities for businesses, with specific challenges related to legal and financial systems. Policy recommendations include enhancing regulatory frameworks and improving access to finance through targeted government interventions and private sector partnerships.
