GHANA POWER COMPACT PROGRAM CLOSES
Accra, June 6, 2022. The Ghana Power Compact Program ended at the stroke of midnight today. The Program, also referred to as Compact II, was signed between the Government of the Republic of Ghana and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an Agency of the Government of the United States of America, on August 5, 2014. It was designed to introduce reforms into Ghana’s power sector while providing some much-needed power infrastructure assets. The goal of the Compact Program is to reduce poverty through economic growth.
