Ghana Swears In New Infrastructure Investment Fund Board Led by Nana Ansah Kwao IV
Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Ampem Nyarko has sworn in 8 new board members for the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) in Accra. Nana Ansah Kwao IV leads the newly appointed board tasked with overseeing national infrastructure development.
The ceremony took place at the Finance Ministry, where Nyarko expressed the government’s confidence in the fresh leadership team. “Their appointment reflects trust in their expertise, leadership, and capacity to deliver on national infrastructure,” the Deputy Minister stated during his address to the new board members.
The Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund serves as a key vehicle for financing major development projects across the country. The fund focuses on bridging infrastructure gaps in transportation, energy, water, and telecommunications sectors.
Nyarko emphasized the board’s critical role in advancing Ghana’s infrastructure agenda. The new members bring diverse expertise from finance, engineering, and public administration backgrounds to guide the fund’s strategic direction.
The appointment comes as Ghana seeks to accelerate infrastructure development to support economic growth. The GIIF board will oversee project selection, funding allocation, and implementation monitoring for nationwide infrastructure initiatives.
The 8-member board faces the challenge of maximizing infrastructure investments while ensuring fiscal responsibility. Their mandate includes identifying viable projects that can attract both domestic and international funding partnerships.
The swearing-in ceremony marks a new chapter for Ghana’s infrastructure financing strategy under fresh leadership.
