Infrastructure Cluster

Infrastructure is a critical component for the socioeconomic development of any country. In Ghana, the infrastructure deficit in terms of availability, quality, diversity, and access has been a distinctive characteristic of our national development efforts since independence. This phenomenon is evident in both urban and rural communities.

The primary reason for this deficit has been the lack of financial, technical and other resources in the delivery of infrastructure facilities and services. The business model adopted over the years, which is predicated on government being the principal funding source for the development of infrastructure, has clearly failed to deliver tangible results.

The experience in the advanced economies in addressing the challenges associated with infrastructure development as outlined above, has been to promote private ownership and, or public-private partnership in the planning, execution and management of public infrastructural projects.
