Bank funding will boost livestock
02/05/2008
The livestock populations of three West African countries should receive an important boost from a new funding project announced today by the Togo-based Ecowas Bank for Investment and Development.
The bank will make available a total of $26.7 million to help fund a series of projects in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia. Before the end of this year, the money will go into projects to improve transport and communications infrastructure in the three coutries. There will be agriculture initiatives, some of which will aim specifically to improve the three states' track record in raising livestock.
