The Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA) has secured GH\u00a221.5m (\u20ac1,657,509) in grant to enhance the water and sewage system at the Tema Export Processing Zone (TEPZ).<\/p>\n
The grant provided by the Facility Investing for Employment (IFE) on behalf of the KfW Development Bank and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ), seeks to meet the current water demand of 7,512 m3\/day for industrial companies located in the industrial park.<\/p>\n
The grant will specifically be used for the construction of a new water storage facility composed of a 6,800m3 underground tank and a 2,273m3 overhead tank as well as a pumping station.<\/p>\n
The total cost of the project is estimated at GH\u00a223.9m (\u20ac1,841,677) with the IFE contributing 90% of the cost and the GFZA contributing the remaining 10% cost \u2013 GH\u00a22.39m (\u20ac184,168).<\/p>\n
Speaking during the Grant Signing Ceremony Chief Executive Officer of the GFZA, Mike Ocquye, noted the construction of the new water and sewage system is expected to create some 1,500 direct jobs and 6,000 indirect jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Tema Export Processing Zone is faced with some infrastructural challenges which include inadequate water supply to companies located in the zone.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a good thing that IFE has identified this particular challenge for which it has decided to support and deal with the challenge by providing the GFZA with this grant,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
\u201cAside from the Tema Export Processing Zone (TEPZ), there are other four industrial zones in the country under the supervision of the GFZA that also have some infrastructural challenges, and as such the GFZA would be glad to receive continuous support from the IFE to tackle these infrastructural challenges at the other four industrial zones,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Managing Director for IFE, Steffen Kuhl, expressed the IFE\u2019s commitment to ensuring the successful completion of the water and sewage system at the Tema Export Processing Zone (TEPZ) and providing more grants to Ghana for various projects.<\/p>\n
\u201cWater in an industrial zone is of utmost importance and that\u2019s why the IFE is happy to provide this grant to the GFZA. By the end of next year (2024) the IFE is looking at disbursing over \u20ac50m in grants for nine projects in Ghana,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n
Present at the signing ceremony was Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry and former CEO of the GFZA, Michael Baafi, who expressed gratitude to the IFE for the grant support.<\/p>\n
