The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), Mrs. Michelle Atta Mills, accompanied by the Head of Risk and Sustainability, Mr. Kwadwo Kwakye Gyan, participated in a high-profile side event at the ongoing COP30 Climate Conference in Belém, Brazil.
The session, hosted by the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), explored the theme “From Risk to Returns – Financing Resilient Infrastructure for Africa.” It brought together global experts, policymakers, and financiers to discuss how climate-resilient investments can drive sustainable growth across the African continent.
Speaking as part of a distinguished panel, Mrs. Atta Mills underscored GIIF’s pivotal role in Ghana’s infrastructure landscape and its evolving mandate in mobilizing climate finance to support the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. She highlighted that GIIF’s investment approach is increasingly focused on building infrastructure that not only meets current national development priorities but is also resilient to future climate hazards.
“Our goal is to ensure that the infrastructure we finance today remains viable for generations to come,” she noted. “Resilience is no longer optional; it’s the foundation of sustainable investment.”
Mrs. Atta Mills also used the platform to invite development partners and investors to collaborate with GIIF through two upcoming facilities: the Climate Project Preparatory Facility and the Climate Sub-Fund. These mechanisms are being designed to channel technical and financial resources toward preparing and financing bankable, climate-resilient infrastructure projects in Ghana.
On the sidelines of the conference, the GIIF Deputy CEO held discussions with the Mr. Ramesh Subramaniam, Global Director of CDRI on an upcoming technical-assistance partnership aimed at strengthening Ghana’s infrastructure systems through data-driven governance and inter-agency coordination. The initiative will bring together government agencies, civil society organizations, and development partners to enhance Ghana’s resilience to climate-related disasters and infrastructure risks.
Mrs. Atta Mills expressed optimism that this collaboration would deepen Ghana’s ability to plan, finance, and maintain infrastructure that can withstand evolving climate impacts while creating new opportunities for sustainable growth.
GIIF’s active participation at COP30 reaffirms its commitment to aligning Ghana’s infrastructure investments with global climate goals, while positioning the Fund as a strategic player in Africa’s just transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient future.

On Wednesday 10th September 2025, the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) hosted a delegation of ten (10) Ambassadors and High Commissioners at its offices for an infrastructure investment and financing stakeholders’ consultative engagement arranged by Platinum Equities Ltd.

The meeting presented an opportunity for GIIF to showcase to the Excellencies the mandate of GIIF as the country’s sole Sovereign Wealth Fund and to look at how best GIIF and the Excellencies can work together to enable GIIF achieve its mandate.

The GIIF CEO, Nana Dwemoh Benneh, warmly welcomed the delegation and introduced them to the GIIF brand. He highlighted GIIF’s mandate and achievements in the last 10 years, noting that so far the Fund has committed US$365 million in 13 transactions in its diversified infrastructure asset portfolio with a total cost of about US$3.60 billion. He added that GIIF’s principal activities include attracting financing through the domestic and international capital and financial markets to complement its funding in the financing of infrastructure projects in Ghana. GIIF is commercially minded and seeks to generate a market return for its investors and stakeholders. The Fund is flexible in the instruments of financing it can use, from debt to equity including setting up Sub–Funds, Special Purpose Vehicles, Strategic Partnerships, long–term off–take arrangements where applicable and anything in between.

He concluded that the Fund is counting on the leadership and diplomacy of the Ambassadors and High Commissioners to liaise with the network of investors in their respective operational areas to facilitate engagements for GIIF to share Ghana’s investment opportunities.

The Ambassadors and High Commissioners present were:
1. Kulsoume Sinare Baffoe (Malta)
2. Theresa A. Mensah (Czech Republic)
3. Prof. Ohene Adjei (Germany)
4. Sarah Zita Benson (United Kingdom)

The Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) today signed a landmark Letter of Intent (LOI) with the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Secretariat and African Development Bank Group (AfDB) to support the development of the Volta Economic Corridor, a transformative initiative under the recently launched flagship (24H+) Programme .

Following the successful launch on 2nd July, 2025 by His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, our collaborative effort aims to transform Lake Volta into a multimodal transport hub that will drive agricultural and industrial growth while enhancing trade connectivity with our neighbouring landlocked countries including Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.

As the anchor institution for infrastructure, GIIF is committed to leading the establishment of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) focused on: (1) Inland Water Transport and Port Infrastructure, (2) Agro-Ecological Parks and Irrigation Systems and (3) Lakeside Industrial Parks and Logistics Zones.

In his remarks at the signing ceremony, Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Presidential Advisor and Head of the 24H+ Secretariat said; “This partnership signals Ghana’s commitment to mobilise transformative capital, world-class expertise, and public-private partnerships to drive our 24-hour production ambition and unlock export competitiveness,” he said. “AfDB’s collaboration with GIIF and the Secretariat gives us confidence that we can deliver projects that create jobs, raise incomes, and position Ghana as a leading trade and industrial hub under AfCFTA.” He noted that the programme will be private-sector driven, with government seed funding helping to unlock larger pools of private capital.

Our CEO, Nana Dwemoh Benneh, reaffirmed GIIF’s role as a bridge between government and private investors in delivering critical infrastructure. He expressed optimism that the GIIF, supported by government seed funding, is well-positioned to attract the capital necessary for full-scale implementation.

Signing on behalf of the AfDB, Mike Salawou, Director for Infrastructure and Urban Development, emphasized the Bank’s commitment to infrastructure-led transformation across Africa. The project is also in tandem with the African Development Bank’s development priorities to Feed Africa; Industrialize Africa; and Integrate Africa.

The Volta Economic Corridor is a flagship example of how Ghana’s 24H+ Programme is translating national priorities into bankable, high-impact projects. By enhancing inland logistics, supporting industrial and agricultural growth, and unlocking trade with landlocked neighbours, the corridor directly advances Ghana’s commitments under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat. It aligns with the objectives of Agenda 2063, the African Union’s blueprint for sustainable industrialization and regional integration.

2nd July 2025 marked a significant milestone with the launch of the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme (24H+), spearheaded by His Excellency The President John Dramani Mahama. This initiative represents a bold step forward in transforming Ghana’s economic landscape, creating jobs, and fostering sustainable growth across vital sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, textiles, and transportation.
Speaking at the launch, President Mahama said “The private sector will lead the 24-Hour Plus Programme. Government will facilitate and not dominate.”
We are proud to play a strategic role as the key infrastructure partner in this transformative initiative. Through collaborations with stakeholders and funding partners, we aim to develop the Volta Economic Corridor, unlocking immense opportunities and enhancing trade links with our neighbouring countries.
“At the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), we stand as an interface between Government, the private sector and the Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) who would help us to unlock this great potential that we have”, the CEO of GIIF, Nana Dwemoh Benneh stated in an interview with the Secretariat.
