REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE PRESIDENT TOTHE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSE) CREDIT
TO THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA FUR AWATER SUPPLY PROJECT (SECOND STAGE)
1. I submit the following report and recommendation of a proposeddevelopment credit to Ghana for the equivalent of US$10.4 million on standardIDA terms to help finance a water supply project. The proceeds of the Creditwould be relent to the Ghana Water and Sewerage Corporation (GWSC) for 25years, including 6-1/2 years of grace, with interest at 7-1/4 percent perannum. Under collaborative financing arrangements, the Canadian InternationalDevelopment Agency would contribute US$7.5 million equivalent, to be relentat 2-1/2 percent interest with the same repayment and grace periods as thosefor the IDA Credit. An additional US$4.8 million equivalent would be lent bythe African Development Bank directly to GWSC for 22 years, including 5 yearsof grace, with interest at 7 percent per annum.
PART I - THE ECONOMY
General
2. The last economic report on Ghana (R72-223) was distributed to theExecutive Directors on October 3, 1972, and drew attention to the structuralproblems of the economy. An industrial sector mission visited Ghana duringNovember 1973; its report is expected to be issued shortly. An economicmission was in Ghana recently and its report should be available in earlyfall. Country data sheets are attached as Annex I.
3. Gross domestic product in real terms in Ghana increased by about2.5 percent a year between 1969 and 1972, while the population grew at ratesranging from 2.6 percent to 3 percent. Ghana seemed to have been caught inthe downward economic spiral of declining per capita income and consumptionaffecting the capacity of the nation to save and invest. The Government isengaged in trying to break this cycle and is preparing a long-term develop-ment strategy for growth with stability.
4. On external account, Ghana's problem has been excessive dependenceon cocoa exports -- cocoa still accounts for about 70 percent of merchandlseexports. Accordingly, with widely fluctuating cocoa prices and Ghana'sdeclining share of worldwide production, the long-term balance of paymentssituation remains somewhat uncertain.
5. On public finances, there has been a tendency for current budgetexpenditures to rise at a rapid rate and to outstrip revenues which areoverly dependent on cocoa export duties and import taxes. In addition to theimbalance in the government bulget per se, there are a number of public agenciesand enterprises whose activities have not been jl'.iected to adequate economictests, and which are dependent on budget support or bank borrowings.
6. in describ-ing these basic problems, the last economic report con-cluded tnat, even with vigorous and determined policies on the part of the-overnment, the necessary structural adjustments could only be effected gradually.
ThanaIs structural problems and slow growta should not obscure, however, thestrong points of its economy. Besides being the world's largest cocoa producingand exporting country, Ghana has a variety of mineral resources as well assubstantial timber reserves. There is a reasonably advanced infrastructure.Cocoa production is broad-based and benefits many small farmers. The educationsystem is well established; elementary education has been free and universalsince 1962. Favorable external developments and government policy action overthe past two years have laid the basis for more secure and sustained develop-ment. Ghana has achieved a reasonable degree of monetary stability, made astart in putting its state industries on a sounder economic footing andexercised caution in its public investment decisions.
7. During 1972 and 1973 the balance of payments position improveddramatically. Compared to a trade deficit of about $40 million in 1971, tradesurpluses of about $160 million in 1972 and $100million in 1973 were achieved. In1972 this was in part due to the very substantial retrenchment in importsfollowing the reimposition of an import licensing system. While imports in1973 were expanded to meet the production needs of the economy and to replenishstocks, continuin- high world prices for cocoa, gold and timber maintained atrade surplus. In contrast with the practice in previous years, the surplushas been used to repay some $40 million of Ghana's short-tem debts and tobuild up reserves w1hich stood at about $200 million at the end of 1973, com-pared to about $20 million at the end of 1971.
8. While prospects for continued high world prices for cocoa and goldseem good, the recent increases in petroleum prices are estimated to increaseGhana's import bill by about $100 million and eliminate the anticipatedbalance of payments surplus for 1974. Petroleum imports, which accounted forless than one-tenth of total imports in 1970-72, would account for about 30percent of imported goods in 1974. With the need to meet substa.1tial paymentsobligations and to maintain an adequate level of short-term debt repayment,the overall balance of payments position is likely to become difficult onceagain. Therefore, Ghana will need new aid commitments to supplement the meagreaid pipeline, and it is appropriate that a substantial part of these commit-ments should be on concessionary terms.
9. An agreement for a long-term rescheduling of Ghana's medium-termexternal debt was reached at a meeting in Rome March 11-13, 1974. Under thisagreement, which was announced by the Govermnent of Ghana last April, allpayments due after February 1, 1972 in respect of pre-1966 debt obligationswill be paid over a period of 28 years, including a grace period of 10 years,with an interest rate of 2-1/2 percent per annum. This concludes more thantwo years of negot_ations between Ghana and the creditor countries, in whichthe good offices of the Bank were provided. The rescheduling agreement isexpected to go into effect this summer provided the creditors are satisfiedthat the results of Ghana 's review of the contracts underlying the medium-termdebts do not put in quest-on the basis of the debt settlement. The review is tobe completed by June 30, 1974. The exact impact which the Rame agreement will haveon Ghana's future debt service obligations will of course depend on the outcomeof this review. It iill be affected as well by the extent of the implementation
- 3 -
of the agreement and its application to creditor countries not represented atthe Rome meeting. These cannot be ascertained now but, given the size ofGhana's debt obligations, the relief obtained should prove to be substantial.
10. In Decmber 1972 the Government announced a new investment policyredefining the ground rules for foreign private investment in Ghana with aview to encouraging more indigenous participation in those sectors which exerta major influence on the economy. The Government is currently engaged innegotiating compensation arrangements with the affected parties; some settle-ments have already been reached.
11. On the basis of the understandings reached at the Rome meeting, andon the assumption that a substantial part of Ghana's external borrowing require-ments will be covered by aid on concessional terms, it is estimated that Ghana'sexternal debt service ratio will average about 5-6 percent in 1974-76 and riseto some 10-12 percent during the remainder of this decade. The Bank Group'sshare of Ghana's total external debt is currently about 12 percent and isexpected to rise but still remain small (14 percent) in relation to otherlenders over the next several years. Similarly, the Bank Group's proportionof Ghana's future debt service is estimated to average 9-11 percent in thenear future. Bank Group lending to Ghana since 1969 has been exclusively onIDA terms because of the large overhang of external debt service inheritedfrom the early 1960s. The agreement to reschedule service of most of themedium-term suppliers' credits should open up possibilities for Ghana toborrow abroad on conventional terms, and it is planned to resume Bank lendingto Ghana in the near future.
PART II - BANK GROUP OPERATIONS IN GHANA
12. The Bank Group has lent Ghana $113.3 million, of which $47 millionwas a Bank loan for the Volta Dam and associated infrastructure in 1962. Theremainder has been lent since 1968 for agriculture, power, water supply andsewerage and roads projects. Annex II contains a summary statement of loansand credits as of April 30, 1974 and notes on the execution of ongoing projects.There are now no major problems in project implementation.
13. Ghana is currently engaged in a major task of restructuring itseconomy, particularly to achieve greater self-sufficiency in agriculturalproducts. Future Bank Group lending will support this objective, as reflectedin the livestock project presented to the Board on June 18, 1974 as we:Ll asan oil palm project which was negotiated recently. A cotton project aind arice project have been appraised and are expected to be presented for con-sideration by the Executive Directors in FY 1975. Follow-up projects in cocoaand fisheries are planned thereafter. Apart from agriculture, the findingsof the industrial sector mission have indicated favorable prospects for pos-sible lending for small-scale industry. In addition, while proportionatelylesS future Bank Group assistance than in the past is planned for infrastruc-tural improvements, some additional lending is contemplated in this field tosupport key institutions. The Bank is assisting Ghana in preparing telecom-munications, power generation and distribution, highway maintenance and feederroad projects.
PART III - WATER SUPPLY IN GHANA
14. It is estimated that about 40 percent of Ghana's total populationhas access to safe and dependable water supplies. In communities of 5,000
people and above, which account for 30 percent of the total population,between 90 and 100 percent have such access. In the case of the remaining70 percent of the popiulation, only about 15 percent have access to safe anddependable water supplies. While water borne diseases such as dracontiasis(Guinea worn infection) and bilharziasis have been virtually eliminated in
communities provided with piped water, these diseases are prevalent in ruraltowns and villages which have no public water supplies. Such communitiesare also vulnerable to cholera, which broke out in many parts of the country
in 1970-71.
15. National responsibility for the provision, distribution and con-servation of water and for the establishment, operation and control ofsewerage systems has been entrusted to the Ghana Water and Sewerage Corporation(GWSC), established in 1966 under the Ghana Water and Sewerage Act of 1965.GWSC has been concerned primarily with water supply, but comiissio.aed itsfirst sewerage scheme in November 1973. The scheme serves central Accra;the only other sewerage scheme in Ghana is operated by the Tema DevelopmentCorporation, the body responsible for Tema's industrial and residentialdevelopment.
GW.SC: The Management
16. GWSC, the beneficiary of the proposed credit, is a statutorycorporation; and has a Board of seven part-time members including a representa-tive of the Ministry of Works and Housing, to which the Corporation isaccountable. Board members are appointed by the Head of State. The presentmanaging director of GWSC was appointed in late 1973 after serving theCorporation in senior positions for many years. With increased operationsand responsibilities, GWSC's management was decentralized in 1973. 41District Management Centers were created within the Corporation's nineregional organizations, of which the Accra/Tema Metropolitan Area (ATMA) isby far the largest. GWSC has delegated to the District Management Centersprimary responsibility for operations, management and development in theirrespective areas. This arrangement should contribute to increasing theefficiency of the Corporation.
17. The Accra/Tema Metropolitan Area (ATMA) manager was promoted tohis post in early 1973. Although technically sound, ATMA's management needssome reinforcement in its financial administration. The Canadian Inter-national Development Agency (CIDA) is expected to provide the requiredtechnical assistance.

GWSCZ The National Investment Program
18. GWSC is currently drawing up for Government approval a nationalinvestment program (presently in a rudimentary form) in the water andsewerage sector for 1975-79. The total cost of the program is estimatedat about US$170 million equivalent, of which about 80-90 percent is expectedto be allocated to the extension of water supplies to communities of lessthan 5,000 people. The objective of the program is to provide 60 percent ofGhana's population with a safe water supply by 1980. The program is to befinanced from the national budget and foreign sources. So far, about US$12million of bilateral assistance has been granted by Canada, Germany andDenmark for the construction of new water supply systems and the extension ofexisting ones, mostly in rural areas. In audition to water supply, the programincludes a sewerage project to be constructed during 1975-79 in Kumasi, Ghana'ssecond largest city. The UNDP has approved a rural water supply and sanitationproject which is expected to provide a basis for a national rural water supplyprogram.
Tariffs
19. In 1973, GWSC sought Government approval for a change in the levelsand structure of its water supply tariffs. The Corporation's proposal was thattariffs for all consumers with private connections in major urban areas shouldbe raised, and that in the remaining communities tariifs should be unchangedand in some cases lowered. The objective of the proposal was to enable GWSCto achieve financial autonomy, while at the same time extending accessibilityto safe water supplies to an increasing number of rural communities. Imple-mentation of GWSC's proposal would have a desirable inter-regional income dis-tribution effect. The Government, however, while agreeing with the proposalin principle, had decided to postpone a country-wide tariff change until allconnections in urban areas have been metered. More recently, in view ofATMA's substantial investment program and the commitment made for the construc-tion of Weija dam, Government approved a new tariff proposal increasing waterrates in the Accra/Tema Metropolitan Area from 40 Pesewas to 60 Pesewas per1,000 gallons in respect of metered supplies to domestic consumers and from90 Pesewas to Cedis 1.35 per 1,000 gallons in respect of metered supplies tocommercial and industrial consumers. This tariff increase of 50 percent isto come into effect and the appropriate regulations issued not later thanAugust 1, 1974.
PART IV - THE PROJECT
20. A report entitled, "Ghana, Appraisal of the Accra/Tema Water SupplyProject - Second Stage", dated May 31, 1974 and numbered 425a-GH is beingcirculated separately to the Executive Directors. A credit and project sum-mary is provided in Annex III.
-6-
21. This project would be the Bank Group's second credit for watersuuply in Ghana. It is the second stage of the implementation of a masterDlan for water %nd sewerage for the Accra/Tema metropolitan area preparedby consultants in 10('3-70 under a stuay financed by UNDP, with WHO as theexecuting agency. In August 1969, IDA provided a credit of US$5.5 millionequivalent (CredLt o60-GH) to cover the foreign exchange cost of the firststage project consis'ting of the extension of the water distribution systemin Accra and Tema anrd a new sewerage system in Central Accra. These workswere satisfactorily completed in November 197s.
22. The second stage project was first appraised in November 1971 butwas delayed due to t'ne uncertainties created by the initial economic measuresof the Government which assumed office in early 1972 and the precariousfinancial and economic situation in the country at the time. The project wasthen reappraised in March/April 197J, and the appraisal report was updated inFebruary 1974. In view of the substantial increase in the foreign exchangecomponent of the project since it was first appraised and the limited availa-bility of IDA funds, the Government has sought parallel financing from theAfrican Development Bank (AfDB) and the Canadian International DevelopmentAgency (CIDA); and tlese institutions have agreed to provide the requiredfinancing. Approval of AfDB and CIDA contributions or a suitable alternativearrangenent satisfac-,ory to the Association is a condition of effectivenessof the IDA credit. (Section 6.01(d) of the Development Credit Agreement).
Description
23. The project would help increase water supply for the metropolitanarea where the population is growing around 5.b percent annually, as well asadjacent rural areas. The demand for water has increased at an annual rateof 12.5 percent in the last decade; with improved efficiency in the distri-bution works and reduced leakages (from the current 39 percent to about25 percent by 1982) demand is projected to increase at a lower rate of 8percent per annumr until 1978 and 6.5 percent thereafter. The project willexpand the supplies of water from the current level of 8.5 million gallonsto 28 million gaIllons per day and will meet demand in the service area up toabout the mid-e:g,h`ies.
24. The Prolec`- comprises the following components (for details seeAnnex III):
A. IDA-Assiso M2nents
Construction of neu dam at Weija; improvement of existingWeija treatment works; extension of existing secondary andtertiary water distribution system in Accra/Tema; extensionof water supplies in adjacent rural areas; provision ofwater meters and leakage detection eauipment; technicalassistance for tne new sewerage system; training, and con-sulting services for design and procurement.
-7-
B. AfDB-Assisted components
Civil works for treatment plant and service reservoir; supplyof transmission mains; extension of the existing primary cis-tribution system in Accra/Tema; ana miscellaneous items.
C. CIDA-Assisted comPonents
Raw water pumps; supply of treatment plant; and constructionsupervision for components not financed by IDA.
Project Execution
25. As in the case of the first stage project (Credit 160-GH), ATMAwould be responsible for project implementation. ATnA operates with a con-siderable degree of autonomy and keeps its own accounts (as provided forunder Section h.01 of the Project Agreement). Its operations equal the restof GWSC's operations combined. It is aaequately organized and managed, andsuccessfully implemented the first stage project. However, in view of theproposed additional investment under the second stage project, ATMA requiresassistance in financial management; and CIDA has been approached to providethe required technical assistance (para. 17).
Project Cost and Financing
26. The total estimated costs of the project are summarized below anddetailed in Annex III:
-US $ Million- - -Local Foreign Total Pecenta
Weija Dam and Works 11.73 14.08 25.81 57.6Rbiral Water Supply 2.91 0.48 3.39 7.6Engineering Services

Total 22.30 _22_ 44.7t3 100.0
The three external financing agencies (IDA, CIDA, and AfDB) will provide thetotal foreign exchange cost of the project estimated at US$22.4 million. Theproposed IDA credit would be re-lent by the Government to GWSC at 7-1/4 percentfor a term of 25 years, including 6-1/2 years of grace. It is expected that theCIDA contribution would be re-lent at 2-1/2 percent with the same repaymenu andgrace periods as those for the IDA credit and that AfDB's loan would be madedirectly to GWSC at 7 percent per annum for a term of 22 years, including 5 yearsof grace. The following table summarizes the financing of the total projectcost:
US$ Million Percentage
IDA 10.4 23.3
AfDB 4.8 10.7
CIDA 7.5 16.7
GWSC 14.4 32.3
Goverrnent 7.6 17.0
Total U4-44.*7 100.0
Financial Position and Prosp2ects
27. While GWSC as a whole continues to operate at a deficit and to
require Government subsidies, although on a smaller scale than in 1969, ATMA
has become financially self-sufficient and has been able to earn the 4 per-
cent rate of return in FY 1973 stipulated under Credit 160-GH. Moreover,
the projected debt/equity ratio of at least 58/42 and debt service coverage
of at least 2.2 are satisfactory, a minimxum borrowing limit debt service ratio
of 1.5:1 being provided for under Sectiorn 4.01 of the Project Agreement.
28. ATMA's water revenues are projected to increase from their present
level oi about V5.1 million to 012.0 million by the end of the project con-
struction period. This increase of 135 percent would result from projected
increases in consumption, but more inmortantly from the proposed 50 percent
increase, effective not later than August 1, 1974, in the average tariff
(see para. 19). With the implementation of the proposed tariff increase,
ATYiA is expected to be able to meet its obligations under the Project Agree-
ment (Section 4.02) to earn a rate of return of not less than 7 percent,
except for the last two years of project construction for which a minimum
return of 3 percent was agreed in view of the increase in ATMA's asset base
and the lag between new investments and new revenues. The implementation by
August 1, 1974 of a tariff increase that will provide ATMA with the required
rate of return in its fiscal year ending June 30, 1975 is a condition of
effectiveness of the proposed Credit (Section 6.01 (c) of the Develop,ment Credit
Agreement).
29. The Government has agreed to reimburse GWSC the amount of capital
costs and operating losses relating to financially non-viable projects or
services taken over by GWSC at Government request (Section 4.03 of the Develop-
ment Credit Agreement).
Procurement
30. Contracts for the major project elements to be financed by IDA (dam,
related construction supervision, rural water supplies and extension of
existing secondary and tertiary distribution systems) either have been or will
be awarded on the basis of international competitive bidding in accordance with
IDA guidelines. Consulting services for design and preparation of tenders com-
menced in September 1972; and procurement of goods had to be started in mid-
1975 to permit the commencement of construction in the 1973/74 dry season and
to avoid delays in project execution. Project elements to be financed by CIDA
will be procured under CIDA guidelines, and items to be financed by AfDB will
be procured on the basis of AfDB's international competitive bidding procedures.
-9-
Disbursement
31. The proceeds of the proposed Credit would be disbursed during theperiod of FYs 1975-78 against the foreign exchange costs of the project com-ponents to be financed by IDA.
32. Retroactive financing estimated at about US$2.0 million is proposedfor the foreign exchange costs of the civil works and technical assistancecontracts for the IDA-assisted project components incurred between September1972 and signature of the Credit.
Justification
33. Water shortages are currently experienced in the Accra/Tema area(with a population of about 900,000) in the dry season. Without the proposedproject, this situation would deteriorate further in the face of populationgrowth and increasing demands from industry and commerce as well as publicand private institutions and domestic households. The rural areas adjacentto Accra/Tewa have only limited supplies of piped water and rely mainly ongenerally polluted ponds, streams and wells. The project would extend safewater supplies to these areas for the benefit of about 200,000 rural people.
34. Studies of alternative sources have shown the Weija scheme to bethe least cost source of water supply for Accra. The only alternativesource, the Volta River at Kpong, was found to be more costly to develop. Itwould require a 48-mile transmission main from Kpong to Accra via Tema, plusassociated pumping facilities, compared to 7 miles of transmission main requiredfor Weija. In addition, the Weija dam would permit continuous use of existingpumping, treatment and transmission capacity which at present is under-utilizedin the dry season due to inadequate river flows.
35. Mhe economic benefits resulting from.the project include substantialunquantifiable benefits which represent one of its main justifications. Iheseinelude first the prevention of a progressive decline in health conditions inAccra/Tema and the improvement of these conditions in the benefitting ruralareas. There are also the anticipated benefits of resettlement. Additionalbenefits may accrue from the possible use of Weija lake for agriculturalirrigation.
36. The facilities at the Weija Dam include minor works required tocomply with a Government plan to allow for irrigation development next tothe Wei.ja site. Preliminary analysis suggests that the irrigation projectwould be feasible and have a substantial economic rate of return. However,its scale and implementation remain to be defined on the basis of a full.feasibility study, as well as an investigation of potential sedimentationin the reservoir. The Government has agreed to establish operational pro-ceduress to determine the allocation of water from the Weija reservoir asbetween public consumption and other purposes and to pay due regard theretoin permitting any development involving water utilization. (Section 4.05of the Development Credit Agreement.)
- 10 -
Resettlement and Land Acquisition
37. The reservoir to be formed by the dam will inundate about 12square miles, of which 7 square miles have already been acquired by theGovernment in connection with the existing Weija Works. The additionalland is subject to flooding during the rainy season and only a small frac-tion of it is cultivated. There are eight villages within the area with apresent population of about 2,000. A detailed socio-economic survey ofthe villages carried out by the University of Science and Technology,Kumnasi, in 1969 showed that the villages had no infrastructure or socialservices and that the villagers were willing to move to new sites suitablefor resettlement and farming. Resettlement will not disturb traditionalnorms of the villages affected and will in fact improve their standard ofliving by providing them with better housing, roads, water supply, sanitation,health facilities and farming opportunities. Detailed planning and super-vision of resettlement will be undertaken by the University of Kumasi.
Ecological Considerations
38. The feasibility study of the project included a survey to investi-gate possible health hazards that might result from the construction of thenew dam. The survey showed that malaria and bilharziasis are endemic inthe area; the hazard from these diseases should, therefore, decrease whenthe present inhabitants are resettled away from the immediate vicinity ofthe lake and bordering swamps, and provided with piped water and sanitaryfacilities.
39. GWSC are establishing a committee of experts to supervise andcoordinate investigations into the environmental impact of the Weija reservoir,considering not only disease problems,but also water quality and potentialof the reservoir for game or commercial fisheries.

1. Tlis project comprised the extension of water distribution systemin the Accra/Tama metropolitan area and a new sewerage system in centralAccra. These works are complete. The credit also included the improvement ofthe organization and operations of the national authority responsible forGhana's water supply and sewerage sector. The Ghana Water and SewerageCorporation is now functioning with significantly improved management andsatisfactory financial performance. Only retention payments for contractservices remain to be made, for which the original Closing Date of June 30,1973 was extended to June 30, 1974.
Credit No. 163-GH - Fisheries; US$1-3 million Credit ofSeptember 25, 1969; Closing Date: June 30, 1975
2. This project was to have provided for: (a) the construction offorty purse seiners; (b) credits to fishermen for purchasing such vessels;(c) fishing harbor improvement and expansion studies; and (d) the improvementof the Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation's Boatyard Division. Afterprotracted problems over the design and price of the proposed boats, the numberof boats was reduced to 10, the procurement of their equipment is now virtuallyconcluded. All 10 of the boats should have been sold and delivered by now.Delays have also been encountered in the execution of the harbor studies. Fol-lowing the reduction in the objectives of the project, the Government has agreedto cancel the remaining proceeds of the Credit except for those tunds requiredto complete the final procurement and the port studies. Meanwhile, IDA has beendiscussing with the Government a thorough re-examination of the fisheries sectorand identification of further investment needs for a possible second project.The original Closing Date of December 31, 1972 was extended first to December31, 1973 and then to June 30, 1975.
Credit No. 205-GH - Cocoa Rehabilitation; US$8.5 million Creditof. June 26, 1970; Closing Date: December 31, 1979
3. The project, principally involving the rehabilitation and replantingof 87,000 acres of cocoa plantings, is proceeding quite well. During thefirst year of field works, the replanting targets were met with excellentnursery practices. Control of swoilen shoot virus disease is similarly well

ahead of project requirements. However, the Sahelian drought caused areduction in the acreage of the 1972/73 replanting campaign to 5S percentof the target. Lower annual replantings in the future are likely in addition.An extension of the project period by one year on this account is con-templated. The rehabilitation component of the project previously postponedis now underway. With the elimination of this difficulty, project dis-bursements should now proceed on the scheduled basis.
Credit No. 354-GH - Sugar Rehablxlitation; US$15.6 millionCredit of January 29, 973; Closing Dates March 311 1979
4. Work on the project is proceeding satisfactorily. HVA Internationalhas been assisting Ghana Sugar Estates Ltd. in the operation of the twosugar factories and estates, and t.eld plantings with effective results todate. The Sugar Industry Committete has been established and ADB has writtenoff its unrecoverable debts. Field irrigation and drainage systems arebeing rehabilitated and partially replanted. A survey in August 1973 showedthat the total outgrowers cane area covers about 4,000 acres more thanestimated in the Appraisal Report. Both factories have been overhauledand are expected to produce a larger output in the next milling season. Aconsiderable volume of project equipment has been ordered, which should bereflected in sizeable project disbursements in the near future.
Credit No. 438-GH - First Highway; US$13 million Credit ofNovember 21. 1973; Closing Date: December 31, 1977
5. This project comprises rehabilitating and improving 13 sectionsof trunk roads totalling some 345 miles; consultants for supervision ofconstruction, pre-investment studies for further road rehabilitation andpreparation of road maintenance project; and the provision of equipmentfor traffic control and pavement surveys. The project became effective inJanuary 1974. Its implementation is underway, delayed only slightly bythe Government's move to establish an independent highway authority whichshould improve the performance of the previous Government road organization.Rehabilitation and other road improvements are expected to start in November1974., the beginning of the next dry season. A maintenance task force isscheduled to conclude its preliminary report in July 1974.
