THE European Union will provide some $7-million dollars this year to Ghana to fund approximately 700 projects, the UN information agency IRIN said Thursday. Kwaku Osafo, the local director of an EU-funded project, said the projects basically covered the infrastructure sector, education and health. “The local communities tell us the projects they would like to undertake and we fund 75% of the total cost. The rest of the money is provided by them,” he said. The projects are located in some 56 districts in six of Ghana’s 10 regions. – IRIN
