Careers
In Ghana we are active in exploration, oil and gas production, refining and chemistry. Through the Livelihood Restoration Plan (LRP) we are promoting the diversification of small economic activities carried out by the local population in the Western Region. National gas resources in Ghana are a great opportunity to improve access to energy and contribute to the country's economic development. In order for the new activities related to the production of oil and natural gas to generate concrete benefits also for the local communities hosting them, it is important to create the conditions for them to be integrated in the local context and to contribute to creating new opportunities for the people living there. After acquiring the land to build the onshore natural gas reception facilities of the Offshore Cape Three Points Project (OCTP), we launched the Livelihood Restoration Plan to manage the socio-economic changes caused by the construction of the plant in that area. Through the launch of small entrepreneurial activities, the project aims to broaden and distribute the benefits for the local communities in terms of income and growth opportunities.

Project actions and objectives
Livelihood Restoration Plan: enterprises that support development
The Livelihood Restoration Plan project aims to restore and strengthen the livelihoods of the communities in Sanzule and others in neighbouring areas in the Western Region, which are affected by the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) project and the onshore gas reception facilities from the Sankofa field. The area acquired is approximately 96 hectares. In the transitional phase, we provided food support to the families and pursued a financial training programme to ensure proper management of the compensation received as a result of the land acquisition and the activation of new sustainable businesses. In particular, we promote the start-up of agricultural activities, livestock breeding, aquaculture, small businesses and market access.
The Livelihood Restoration Plan is part of a broader plan, the Environmental and Social Action Plan(ESAP), in accordance with international standards, in particular the International Finance Corporation Performance Standard number 5 (IFC PS5). Together with the non-governmental organisation Technoserve, we work closely with the communities through training in business management and mentoring by technical experts.
