World Bank Blames Finance Ministry’s Fiscal Controls for Delaying GARID Flood Project
The World Bank has attributed major delays in the implementation of Ghana’s $350 million Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) Project to fiscal controls introduced by the Ministry of Finance in 2025. The Bank says the funding restrictions slowed critical flood-control works in Accra despite the project being fully financed, a concern that has gained urgency following the recent floods that claimed at least 12 lives.
