The African Development Bank (AfDB) is preparing to launch a groundbreaking infrastructure financing facility in Ghana, aimed at unlocking private capital and bridging the country’s infrastructure funding gap. This initiative is part of AfDB’s broader commitment to promoting sustainable development and accelerating economic growth across the continent.
The facility will target key sectors critical to Ghana’s development, including energy, transportation, digital connectivity, water and sanitation, and social infrastructure such as health and education. By focusing on these areas, the AfDB aims to improve service delivery, enhance productivity, and support inclusive growth.
A key feature of the facility is its emphasis on mobilising private sector investment. Working closely with the Ghanaian government, local financial institutions, and international partners, the AfDB intends to structure investment opportunities that are both commercially viable and socially impactful. This partnership-based approach is designed to align with Ghana’s national development agenda, particularly its 2024–2029 Country Strategy Paper.
The new facility is expected to boost infrastructure quality, generate employment, and foster regional integration. It will also serve as a model for other African nations seeking innovative solutions to infrastructure financing. Through this initiative, the AfDB reinforces its role in driving long-term development and addressing Africa’s persistent infrastructure challenges.
