Ghana's infrastructure stagnates despite investment, report reveals

Ghana's infrastructure has largely stagnated over the past decade, failing to significantly improve despite considerable public investment. The nation's infrastructure retains a D3 grade, equivalent to 57 percent, according to the 2026 Infrastructure Report Card.

The report, launched in Accra by the Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE), attributes this lack of progress to several critical factors. These include inadequate maintenance practices, weak asset management systems, and persistent insufficient funding for infrastructure projects.

This assessment indicates that substantial financial resources allocated to infrastructure development have not translated into tangible improvements. The findings underscore a need for a re-evaluation of how investments are managed and maintained to ensure future projects yield better results and contribute to national development.
