The World Bank has commended Ghana for the remarkable progress achieved under the Gulf of Guinea Northern Regions Social Cohesion (SOCO) Project, describing its performance as exceeding expectations and delivering beyond initial targets.
This remark was made by Robin Mearns, the World Bank's Global Director for Social Development, who led a high-level World Bank delegation to tour SOCO project sites and engaged with stakeholders to assess midterm progress, strengthen collaboration, and explore opportunities for potential scaling up the initiative. "The SOCO Project is not only meeting but exceeding its targets.
It is bringing tremendous economic prosperity to regions that have not seen much investment in the past.
The scale and inclusiveness of the project are impressive, and I strongly encourage additional funding to extend its reach to the remaining vulnerable districts", Mearns said.
