This decrease is largely due to higher Treasury bill yields, making shorter-term investments more attractive.

    AfDB Launches Digital Platform for Project Oversight in Ghana

    The African Development Bank (AfDB) has launched a digital monitoring platform in Ghana to enhance project supervision, real-time data collection, and accountability across its financed interventions. This initiative aims to reduce delays and improve the transparency of project delivery, particularly as Ghana scrutinizes public investment delivery amidst concerns of delays and cost overruns. The platform will enable quicker field-level information capture, supporting evidence-based decision-making and strengthening oversight of physical progress and contractor performance. It is particularly crucial for projects in remote areas and aligns with a broader shift towards digital project management within development finance institutions. This move is significant for Ghana, which relies on development financing amidst tight fiscal conditions, aiming to ensure development investments translate into visible outcomes efficiently.
