Project “Sustainable Cities – Phase 1”
Project description and objectives
With a total population of 30.4 million people in 2019 and more than 55% living in cities, Ghana has a dense network of urban areas mostly concentrated along the Atlantic coast and in the Ashanti Region. The country is halfway through urbanisation, and has benefited from an urban economic network more advanced than other countries in West Africa. While the first period of urbanisation has generated job creation and opportunities, improved living conditions and reduced poverty for many Ghanaians, the country now faces the challenges of economic efficiency and social inclusion within its urban areas. In addition, unplanned spatial expansion of urban and metropolitan areas and their limited connectivity within and across Ghana’s cities is a challenge, increasing social and environmental costs, unequal access to basic services, health risks and ecological damages.
To address these challenges, an integrated programme is proposed to meet demands in infrastructures and services by working both on the institutional and legislative framework at central level and on urban growth at the local level.
The Sustainable Cities – Phase 1 project is part of the EU-Ghana Partnership for Sustainable cities. Funded by the European Union and implemented by Expertise France through the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Local Development (MLGDRD), the objective of the project is to enhance urban prosperity by supporting the development of sustainable and inclusive cities. More specifically, the project aims to support six Metropolitan and Municipal Assemblies (MMAs) viz Tamale Metropolitan, Wa, Bolgatanga, Yendi, West Gonja and East Mamprusi Municipal Assemblies to advance sustainable urban development and address the specific challenges faced by cities in terms of spatial growth and climate change. The project also seeks to enhance urban governance and implementation of inclusive planning policies, increase accessibility of urban services, and impulse green economic development and employment opportunities.
The project implementation started on March 1, 2024, and will be implemented over a span of 58 months (March 2024 to December 2028).
