Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning Republic of Ghana Integrated Transport Plan for Ghana Volume 10: Finance Final Version June 2010 Financed by the 9th European Development Fund Service Contract N° 9 ACP GH019 In association with Egis Bceom International EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Volume 10 Finance reviews existing transport sector operational financial experiences and constraints, the various financing sources and approaches possible, sets out the context of the current and foreseeable economic situation, and then makes specific recommendations for funding the Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) proposals. In the process the status of individual institutions are reviewed and issues noted that would affect the effectiveness of further investments (solvency, legacy debts, financial management, etc). Development Partner involvement ends in 2013. DP commitments to future projects are general rather than specific but there are now several feasibility studies that can be presented for their consideration. The private sector has also expressed interest in the past and could be involved in the future. Reference is made to the need to address the on-going issue of road maintenance and funding, which is an annual recurrent issue, and which detracts from the pure investment proposals which are of a long term strategic consequence. The completion of existing investments (e.g. BOST) may be more cost effective than new investment and GoG needs to consider specifically the issue of public subsidy for passenger transport (both road and rail). These factors are part of the overall issue of the need to deal with institutional stability and viability addressed in this Volume.
