Technology-efficiency startups are the best bet - My startup reduces the cost of doing _blank_ by 100 times. You have to pay me 1/10th of what you currently pay to do _blank_.

Unless your _blank_ is food or water, your startup will have a heck of a time in Ghana.

In 2012, 1 in 5 Ghanaians spent between $4 and $20/day: https://www.ft.com/content/893ae814-486d-11e2-a6b3-00144feab...

Seems like there might be some money to be made there beyond food and water.
