provided by GCB Bank, which includes:<\/p>\n<p>Developing a comprehensive Investment Policy Statement (IPS)<\/p>\n<p>Designing a funding roadmap and stakeholder engagement strategy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Establishing measurable impact metrics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Providing digital banking and reporting tools to enhance transparency<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Kumi, sustainability for the Ghana Sports Fund must rest on three key pillars: diversified and predictable funding, strong governance and accountability, and professional financial stewardship that preserves and grows capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen governance is strong, and funding is diversified, impact becomes measurable and sustainable,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>By strengthening these systems, he said, GCB Bank aims to position the Fund not merely as a disbursement channel but as an investment-ready institution capable of supporting Ghana\u2019s sports ecosystem for generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about building a structure that endures,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n
