The MP for Nhyiaeso after touting the Italian Government’s support to Ghana in the past in the areas of energy, agriculture, SME sector and education, called for more support in the areas of energy, health and education.

The Italian Development Cooperation Projects which are coherent with its thematic guidelines on Agriculture, Rural Development and Food Security, apply a highly integrated approach toward these fields of action and encourage synergies with other countries in areas of development such as education, environmental management, governance, infrastructures, health, among others.

The Director-General of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Mr.  Stefano Gatti indicated that Italy is ready to finance/co-finance developmental projects in Ghana.
