Ghana and Japan have signed two grant agreements valued at about 3.5 billion Japanese Yen ($23 million) to support key infrastructure and health projects in the country.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who disclosed this in a post on X on Friday, October 3, 2025, said the facilities would finance the Kumasi Inner City Road Improvement Project and the Northern Region Improvement of Health Care System Project.
He explained that the agreements were signed on Thursday, October 2, with the Japanese Ambassador to Ghana, Hiroshi Yoshimoto, representing his country.

Ablakwa welcomed the development, describing it as another milestone in the long-standing cooperation between Ghana and Japan.
