Activity under preparation EU-Ghana partnership for sustainable Cities ¿ phase 1 Through the implementation of the Joint Programming Ghana 2021-2027, the EU will support the development of more sustainable and inclusive cities.Unplanned spatial expansion of urban and metropolitan areas and their limited integration within and across Ghana¿s regions is a challenge to economic efficiency. It increases social and environmental costs, inadequate and unequal access to basic services, health risks and ecological damages. Climate change will further hamper development gains in cities. Finally, significant wealth gaps exist in Ghana, with northern regions disproportionately poor, unequal, and poorly covered in critical services. An integrated two phases programme is proposed to address those challenges by working both on the institutional framework at national and local level, and by improving urban services delivery and infrastructure provision to meet the demand of citizens. The action proposed in the AAP 2022 (first phase) will address the need for improved institutional coordination, capacity building and data collection through the provision of technical assistance and the establishment of an Urban Observatory. The Observatory aims to provide an institutional and technical platform to facilitate coordination and dialogue between the central government, local authorities and civil society, including women organisations and those representing the rights of the most vulnerable, such as people living with disabilities. Building technical and institutional capacity, providing smart planning tools with digital technologies, and facilitating citizen engagement, the programme will support the development of planning policies at the local level towards sustainable, inclusive and green urban development of Ghanaian cities.With a national dimension, the Urban Observatory aims to be deployed at the local level with the participation of MLGDRD, Regional Coordinating Councils (RCC), MMDAs, academic partners, the civil society and the private sector. It will build on the existing structures and the technical and institutional partners.Priority will be given to the Northern Regions of the country (Upper East and Upper West Regions, North-Est Region, Savannah and Northern Regions). The action will pave the way for future investments by building planning and resources mobilisation capacities of the local authorities through technical assistance and peer-to-peer exchanges. It will also support a limited number of pilot projects. Priority will be given to activities with optimal use of digital technologies and innovation, and targeting women, youth, and people with disabilities. The action will kick-off the EU support to Smart and Sustainable cities, which will substantially contribute to the Global Gateway. It will be followed by a second phase with a more substantial allocation for infrastructures development.
