Chinese Deals in Ghana: Resources for Infrastructure

Endowed with abundant natural resources such as oil, gas, cocoa and bauxites, Ghana has sought to leverage these assets to attract foreign investment and support its development objectives. China, in turn, has been willing to provide financing and technology for needed infrastructure projects in exchange for access to Ghana's natural resources. As a result, China has emerged as a key investor in Ghana's energy sector.

In this upcoming iteration of the Katekisama Lecture Series, Mr. Nelson Quame will discuss the implications of these Resource-Financed-Infrastructure (RFI) deals for Ghana's economic development, and their associated challenges and opportunities.
