About Ghana Property Awards 2026 -19th Edition

The Ghana Property Awards (GAPOA) is an annual Awards series for Ghana Real Estate, Property & Construction Sectors.  One of the best and trusted property awards scheme in Africa. 

The Ghana Property Awards has announced a transformative addition to its 17th edition: the ‘Best District Council 2026 – Ghana’ category. This newly introduced honour is designed to promote progressive leadership and foster competition among district councils across the country, with a vision to enhance local development, attract investment, and create sustainable communities.

Ghana Property Awards - Best District Council 2025 –Ghana

The organisers say the objective behind this category is to reward district assemblies that are excelling in five critical areas: revenue mobilization, investment attraction, job creation, agribusiness innovation, and green space development. The award will serve as a national benchmark for local governance excellence, showcasing districts that are proactive, innovative, and committed to community transformation.

One of the central pillars of the evaluation will be revenue mobilization. Districts that demonstrate creative strategies in generating and managing their internally generated funds (IGFs) to support infrastructure, social amenities, and local economic activities will be considered frontrunners.

The category will also recognize districts that have successfully attracted investment—both local and foreign—into real estate, agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism sectors. The aim is to showcase councils that position themselves as growth-friendly destinations by removing bureaucratic bottlenecks and providing investor support services.

Job creation, especially programs targeted at empowering the youth, will be another major criterion. The award committee will assess how councils are working to retain young people through local employment opportunities, entrepreneurship hubs, skills training centres, and partnerships with private sector entities.

Another focus is on agribusiness innovation. Districts embracing modern, scalable agricultural practices and agro-processing ventures that empower farmers, increase productivity, and promote food security will stand out. Initiatives that integrate youth into agriculture through technology or training will receive special commendation.

Lastly, the award seeks to shine a spotlight on districts that prioritize the development of green spaces and parks—a critical component of urban planning and public health. Districts that have invested in landscaped parks, recreation centres, botanical gardens, or community green belts will earn high scores in this area.

The Ghana Property Awards team believes this category will elevate the role of local governments in Ghana’s development agenda by encouraging strategic thinking, environmental consciousness, and inclusive growth. Organisers have hinted that the evaluation process will involve collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Local Government, the Ghana Statistical Service, and selected civil society organisations, to ensure transparency and impact.

As the spotlight broadens from individual real estate developers to the institutions that support thriving communities, the Best District Council 2025 – Ghana award promises to become one of the most anticipated and competitive highlights of the Ghana Property Awards calendar

Over the years, GAPOA has sought to standardise practices in the Real Estate Sector by setting benchmarks, which submitted projects must adhere to. GAPOA has also sought to promote innovativeness, insurance and maintenance cultures in the Sector by putting weights on these in the judging process.

The awards scheme will also be looking at new market development with the aim to support the promotion of wholesale and retail market operations, allowing for better recognition of their vital role, support and contribution to national, regional and global demand for property and its related services as the Ghana government seek to accelerate infrastructure development in Ghana.

Past Winners of the Awards have been from diverse Firms within the Property & Construction Sector including Mortgage Firms, Paint Firms, Residential Developers, Commercial Developers, Property Brokers/Estate Agents, Input Suppliers, Retail Developments, Facility Managers, Architectural Firms, Landscapers, etc.



As has been the tradition over the last 16 years, all awards will be presented at the grand awards dinner night at the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday the 29^th of November 2025.
