Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund Board Inaugurated in Accra
The Government of Ghana has officially inaugurated the new Board of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), marking a significant step in strengthening the country’s infrastructure financing strategy. The swearing-in ceremony was held in Accra and led by the Deputy Minister for Finance, Thomas Ampem Nyarko.
An eight-member board was constituted and charged with steering the GIIF toward delivering its mandate of mobilising and managing investments to support Ghana’s infrastructure development. Speaking during the event, the Deputy Minister expressed the government’s confidence in the board members’ expertise and leadership abilities, adding that their appointment signalled a strong trust in their capacity to drive results.
New Board Urged to Deliver Strategic Oversight and Growth
Thomas Ampem Nyarko emphasised that the government expected the GIIF board to act with diligence, transparency, and innovation, especially as Ghana seeks to leverage infrastructure as a key driver for economic growth. He called on the new members to explore sustainable financing mechanisms, foster public-private partnerships, and maintain accountability in delivering infrastructure that meets both national and local development needs.
The Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund plays a critical role in funding major national projects including transportation, energy, water, and urban development. As Ghana continues to recover economically and push for accelerated development, the effectiveness of GIIF’s leadership will be closely watched by stakeholders and development partners alike.
