Careers
In Ghana, we are engaged in the exploration sector, in the production of oil and gas, in refining, and in the chemical industry. Under the Livelihood Restoration Plan (LRP), we have encouraged the diversification of small businesses run by locals 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. Following the acquisition of land for the onshore natural gas reception facilities for the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) project, we initiated the LRP to address the socioeconomic shifts caused by building the facility in the region. The project has amplified and shared the benefits of the project to local communities through the launch of small business ventures, offering chances for income and growth.

Project actions and objectives
Livelihood Restoration Plan: enterprises that support development
The Livelihood Restoration Plan project aimed to restore and strengthen the livelihood conditions of 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. During the transition phase, we supplied food aid to families, then moved on to launching sustainable enterprises and a financial education programme, aiming to ensure they managed their compensation from the land acquisition effectively. We have particularly focused on the start of farming, animal husbandry, fish farming, small commercial businesses, and market access. In partnership with the non-governmental organisation Technoserve, we have worked closely with communities, offering training in business management and guidance from skilled technicians. After the compensation phase ended, we assessed the LRP's success using the MPI (Multidimensional Poverty Index) method, which showed that 14 families remained in multidimensional poverty. Eni Ghana continues to support these families to help them escape poverty.
