In a move to strengthen their collaboration, Abass Nurudeen, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Social Investment Fund, paid a courtesy call on the Country Director of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in Ghana.
The meeting centred on current project partnerships, areas of mutual growth, and strategies to enhance project outcomes for both institutions.
The African Development Bank has been a key partner of the Social Investment Fund since its establishment. One of the notable projects under this partnership is the Post COVID-19 Skills Development and Productivity Enhancement Project, valued at $28.5 million.
This project aims to contribute to Ghana’s sustainable post-COVID-19 recovery, particularly in the health sector, and support the restoration of livelihoods, income, and employment opportunities .
Implementing partners for this project include the Ghana News Agency, University of Ghana, and MASLOC Ghana.
The project’s objectives align with the Social Investment Fund’s mission to foster social and economic development across Ghana.
The meeting between Mr. Nurudeen and the AfDB Country Director stressed on the importance of collaboration between development institutions and funding agencies.
By working together, they can leverage resources, expertise, and network to drive sustainable development and improve the lives of Ghanaians.
As the Social Investment Fund and African Development Bank continue to strengthen their partnership, they are poised to make a significant impact on Ghana’s development trajectory.
