Ghana has been actively working on transforming its road infrastructure, with initiatives like the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP-2024) aimed at empowering local authorities to enhance road networks. The collaboration with China is a significant step towards achieving this goal, leveraging China’s expertise in road construction and technology.
