More than half of Ghana’s 25 million people live in rural areas, most without access to electricity. It’s a problem that affects families on a daily basis and limits their access to quality health care, education and jobs. The Government of Ghana devised a plan to bring electricity to over 500 remote towns. Citi’s long-standing pan-African presence allowed us to work with government leaders to provide long-term fi nancing for this project. The result is better hospitals, schools and opportunities for the Ghanaian people. For over 200 years, Citi’s job has been to believe in people and help make their ideas a reality. citi.com/progress © 2015 Citibank, N.A.
