U.S. to Lend Ghana 133 Million for Volta Dam Project
The New York Times reports the United States will lend Ghana 133 million dollars to build a large hydroelectric dam on the Volta River, aiming to spur regional industrialization and improve Ghana’s economy despite past tensions after Kwame Nkrumah's Moscow visit. The decision followed a presidential briefing after a special mission assessed the political and economic climate. Two related projects include a 196 million dollar dam and a 128 million dollar aluminum plant.
