INTRODUCTION

This presents descriptions, scope and status of project being prepared by the Ghana Public

Private Partnership Programme under the Public Investment Division of the Ministry of Finance.

The projects have been organised under the Community Development and are pipeline projects

that have been registered and received clearance as required by the National Policy on PPP.

1.1 MARTEY-TSURU COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Description:

The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development and the Ledzokuku-Krowor

Municipal Assembly in the first phase of this effort, intend to improve the physical infrastructure

at the Martey-Tsuru Community in the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipality of the Greater Accra

Region through a PPP arrangement.

Objectives:

The project seeks to enhance Martey-Tsuru’s infrastructure and service levels, with the aim of

improving the overall ambience and value of the neighbourhood. It will leverage private capital

and expertise into state development efforts, inducing the introduction of innovative approaches

to community infrastructure development and thereby facilitating efficient management of the

urban space. The expected benefits are the achievement of a planned neighbourhood with good

infrastructure, leading to enhanced value of properties in the community.

Status:

Request for Expression of Interest was advertised for sponsors to express interest in partnering

Government in the upgrading of the Community. A number of EOIs were submitted, and work is

in progress to select a sponsor.

1.2 MODEL MARKETS

Description:

The Government of Ghana, through the Ministries of Local Government and Rural Development

and Trade and Industry intends to build new markets in Metropolitan, Municipal and District

nationwide to create an efficient functioning domestic market system for the development and

distribution of products. Presently, most markets are old and non-functional; and lack access

roads, fire protection facilities, appropriate drainage, reliable water and sanitation services and

waste removal. MOTI’s Domestic Trade and Distribution Division has already developed

‘benchmark’ architectural designs and cost estimates for three different categories of ‘model’

markets that could be built at the Metropolitan, Municipal and District levels. Each of these

benchmark designs could be financed, built, operated, and maintained, on a cost recovery basis,

through a PPP arrangement.

Scope:

Under the proposed PPP arrangement, the private sector party would build and operate the model

market (based on the designed developed by MOTI) at selected Metropolitan, Municipal and

District Assemblies for pre-determined period, and then, transfer ownership of the markets to the

MMDA at the end of the period.

Status:

Request for Expressions of Interest for Transaction Advisor has been advertised, and a number

of submissions have been received. Work is ongoing to recruit a suitable Transaction Advisor

within the second half of 2014.

1.3 KANTAMANTO MARKET PROJECT

Description:

Kantamanto Market is one of the major markets in the Accra Metropolis within the Central

Business District in the Ashiedu Keteke sub metropolitan area. It is owned and managed by the

Accra Metropolitan Assembly and serves as the business centre for more than 2,500 traders

presently. The market covers an area of about 6.84 acres. The Metropolitan Assembly seeks to

acquire a contemporary market facility which can accommodate more people and enhance the

revenue generation base of the Assembly. The new market is also expected to considerably

improve accessibility to and from the market as well as health and safety of traders and the

people who will be patronizing the market.

Scope:

A PPP Contract agreement will be entered into with a private sector consortium of firms for a

period that will provide a fair return on investment. The private party shall be responsible for

designing, building, financing, operating and maintaining the facility. The market, after the re-

modeling, is expected to accommodate about 5,000 traders
