PREFACE 1.1 Background The Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) is implementing the expansion/rehabilitation of the Eastern Corridor Road (ECR) from Ashaiman to Kulungugu; this is the National Road N2. The first part of the route – called Lot 1 – extends about 64 km from Ashaiman Roundabout (in Tema) to Asikuma Junction at Akosomobo, just before the Adomi Bridge at the Volta River. GHA has engaged the Germany-based contractor INZAG to perform the construction works for Lot 1 (called the “Project” in this document).

    TEMA; AFCONS Infrastructure open to more opportunities ahead of $20 million bridge construction on Volta lake- Executive Director Posted on November 4, 2019 The Executive Director of the AFCONS Infrastructure Limited, contractors on the Tema Mpakadam Railway Project, Akhil Gupta, has expressed optimism of his company partnering government to address the infrastructure deficit facing the country. He made the statement ahead of Tuesday’s Sod Cutting of a 20-million-dollar railway bridge on the Volta Lake by the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo. The 400 meters railway bridge to be constructed by AFCONS Infrastructure on the Volta Lake would be two and half downstream off the Adomi Bridge in the Eastern Region. Ahead of the project, the Executive Director of the company Akhil Gupta, spoke on the company’s plans for the 20 million dollars, adding that it intends to improve with respect to infrastructure in the country. Mr Gupta in an interview with Atinka Tv, said the impending project which would be very challenging, will give them the needed boost to bid for other projects in the country, judging from their high portfolio of major projects undertaken in the Marine, Road, Port and Construction sectors across the globe. He said the company is opened to the railway development in the Northern Region of the country as well as the rehabilitation of some major road networks in the capital, especially the Tema-Accra Roads. For his part, the Project Manager at AFCONS, U.V Singh said the 400 meters bridge project which would be completed in September 2020, would not only improve railway transportation in that suburb of the country but as well the country’s revenue since that stretch links to that of the landlocked countries including Burkina Faso.

    Nations and Nationalism 14 (3), 2008, 520–541. Civitatis Ghaniensis Conditor:Kwame Nkrumah, symbolic nationalism and the iconography of Ghanaian money 1957 – the Golden Jubilee HARCOURT FULLER International History Department, The London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK ABSTRACT. During his tenure as premier from independence in 1957 until he was ousted by a military and police coup in 1966, Kwame Nkrumah was the living personification of the Ghanaian nation-state. As the self-proclaimed Civitatis Gha- niensis Conditor – Founder of the State of Ghana – his image was minted on the new national money and printed on postage stamps. He erected a monument of himself in Accra, changed the national anthem to make references to himself, customised the national flag to match the colors of his CPP party, made his birthday a national day of celebration (National Founder’s Day), named streets and universities after himself, and amended the constitution whereby he became Life President. Since the coup, many of the symbols of nationhood that Nkrumah constructed have been debated, demolished, reconsidered and reengineered by successive governments to rewrite the Ghanaian historical narrative. This article analyses the contentions of one of Nkrumah’s first expressions of symbolic nationalism – that of the national coinage. KEYWORDS: Civitatis Ghaniensis Conditor; Ghana Cedi; Ghana money; icono- graphy and money; Kwame Nkrumah; nationalism; symbolic nationalism. The act of coining or producing currency has been synonymous with an expression of independence since the earliest years of coinage in Ancient Greece (Mudd 2005). r The author 2008.

    Japanese ODA Loan Ex-Ante Evaluation (for Japanese ODA Loan) 1. Basic Information Country: The Republic of Ghana Project: Construction of a New Bridge across the Volta River on the Eastern Corridor Project Loan Agreement: December 5, 2016 2. Background and Necessity of the Project (1) Current State and Issues of the Transportation Sector in Ghana Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is developing an international corridor in order to integrate the region’s economy. In Ghana, transit cargo for landlocked countries and its neighboring countries have been increasing in recent years. This is partly due to the political instability in Ghana's neighboring country, Cote d'Ivoire. The social and economic importance of domestic transport in Ghana is becoming increasingly important as a lifeline for landlocked countries in West Africa. In Ghana, road transportation accounts for approximately 95% of the country’s total cargo transport out of road, rail, water and air transportation. Against the backdrop of recent high economic growth, the necessity to widen and extend roads is rapidly increasing to accommodate the increase in the volume of logistics. The north-south corridor runs from the coastal region of Ghana to its northern region and extends to Burkina Faso. Currently, only the Central Corridor (Accra–Paga border) is almost fully paved. However, this corridor is relied upon for all logistics and transport, and has sustained significant damage. In addition, traffic is always congested around Accra (the capital) and Kumasi (the second largest city). To combat these issues, the Ghanaian Government is advancing corridor development by prioritizing the Eastern Corridor (Tema–Kulungugu border) and the Western Corridor (Elubo–Hamile border).
