About the Centre

The Ghana Centre for China Studies (GCCS) is Africa's preeminent and most comprehensive platform exclusively dedicated to advancing authoritative understanding of China, its domestic and foreign policies, and its evolving role in global affairs.

Founded in 2020 by global economist Alexander Ayertey Odonkor, the Centre advances research and analysis on China's political economy, economic transformation, governance, foreign policy, international relations and engagement with the international community.

As China continues to shape the global economic and geopolitical landscape, GCCS is committed to deepening understanding of contemporary China, contributing to informed policymaking and enriching international discourse through rigorous research, policy analysis and expert perspectives.

The Centre actively promotes intellectual exchange and collaboration with leading academics, research institutions, policymakers, industry experts and major organisations in China and around the world. Through these engagements, GCCS seeks to strengthen knowledge, foster constructive dialogue and contribute meaningful perspectives to global discussions on China.
