The?Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development has secured a ?40 million funding from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to implement the Ghana Urban Management Pilot Project (GUMPP).
The project would be implemented in four major cities, namely, Kumasi, Sekondi-Takoradi, Tamale and Ho, for the provision of infrastructure facilities.
Under the GUMMP, the Ministry will also facilitate the street-naming and structural plans for Ho and Tamale.
The sector Minister, Mr. Akwasi Opong-Fosu, announced this in Accra when his ministry took its turn at the meet-the-press series yesterday.
The project would also ensure property rating and the installation of revenue mobilization software in Ho, Kumasi, Tamale and Sekondi-Takoradi.
