On the second day of her visit to Ghana, US Vice President Kamala Harris made this announcement.
Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Benin, Guinea, and Togo are among the nations.
This is consistent with American efforts to reduce violence and advance peace in places prone to armed conflict.
US Vice President Kamala Harris made this announcement while touring the Jubilee House in Accra.
President Akufo-Addo invited her over, and they had useful conversations about things that interested them both.
“Today I am pleased to announce $100 million in support of Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and Togo,” she said on Monday.
“Last week President Joe Biden announced a strategic plan for coastal West Africa as part of the United States strategy to prevent conflict and promote stability.”
She expressed hope that the funding will help implement the policy outlined by US President Joe Biden in the strategic plan.
Madam Harris is currently embarking on a one-week tour which will see her visit Ghana and two other African countries – Tanzania and Zambia.
