10 most impressive Mega projects in Ghana Ghana is a country in West Africa.
This country's infrastructure status has grown progressively over the years, which has contributed
to a huge economic growth and development in several aspects.
Over the years, Ghana has seen a renewed focus by the government and the private sector on
infrastructure projects such as residential estates, roads and expansion projects, among
others.
For the next decade, the yearly infrastructure budget gap is expected to be $1.5 billion.
The government and private-sector partners are working together to find new strategies
to close the gap.
As a result, project funding has become more important for the development of both privately
funded infrastructure and public-private partnerships.
Today, Africans will show you ten of Ghana's most impressive projects.
