Ghana’s Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has launched a multi-country development project dubbed, the Gulf of Guinea Northern Regions Social Cohesion (SOCO) Project in the upper east region.
The Project is a $450 million multi-country Credit Facility Project secured by the Governments of Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, and Benin from the World Bank.
It aims to improve facilities and security in the northern sectors and border towns of the four West African countries, in the face of emerging extremism in the West African sub-region.
