The Board of Directors of the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID), chaired by its President, Dr George Agyekum Donkor, has approved more than $417m in financing for five strategic public and private sector projects aimed at strengthening infrastructure, healthcare, housing, mining and financial resilience across West Africa.
Approved during the Board's 99th Ordinary Session on 6 July 2026, the investments underline EBID's continued commitment to financing projects that support regional integration, stimulate economic growth and improve living standards across West Africa.
The financing package spans transport infrastructure, affordable housing, healthcare, public administration and mining, reflecting the Bank's broad development mandate and its focus on addressing some of the region's most pressing economic and social challenges.
Dr Donkor said the projects demonstrated the institution's commitment to delivering practical development outcomes across West Africa.
