The announcement, which is being made during the U.S. Vice-President’s week-long trip to Africa, is part of Washington’s drive to counter growing Chinese and Russian influence on the continent
U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris will on Monday announce a $139-million aid package for Ghana for next year as she begins a week-long trip to Africa, part of Washington’s drive to counter growing Chinese and Russian influence on the continent.
Harris’s trip, which includes visits to Tanzania and Zambia, is the latest in a series of tours by senior U.S. government figures as Washington seeks to improve ties with the continent. On Monday Harris will meet Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo in Accra and announce a $100-million package to support conflict prevention and stabilization efforts in Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo.
Washington will also deploy an adviser to Ghana from its Office of Technical Assistance to help the country improve its “debt sustainability and support a competitive, dynamic government debt market,” Harris’s office said.
