Ghana is addressing significant climate and infrastructure challenges through large-scale financing and development projects.

In September 2026, Ghana’s Environmental Protection Authority estimated that the country would require $22.6 billion by 2030 to implement climate action plans. Officials emphasized the necessity of measurable budgets, early warning systems, and improved engineering education to build climate-adaptive cities and resilient infrastructure.

By October 2026, the government secured a €323 million financing package specifically for the Northern Ghana Water and Sanitation Project. This funding, provided by the European Investment Bank, the European Commission, and the Dutch government, aims to resolve water shortages in Tamale, Yendi, and Damongo. The project is expected to provide piped water networks to approximately 1.5 million people, supporting both public health and regional climate resilience.
