Dr. Forson outlined the financing following a meeting with EIB Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle, describing the discussions as productive.
“I have just concluded a productive meeting with European Investment Bank Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle on the financing package for the Northern Ghana Water and Sanitation Project,” he said.
The European Commission will provide a €68 million grant, while Invest International, the Dutch government initiative, will contribute a further €30 million grant. The EIB’s highly concessional facility accounts for the remaining €225 million.
