The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has approved a US$250,000 (about GH¢3 million) donation to support victims of Ghana’s recent devastating floods, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa. Announcing the assistance, Mr. Ablakwa said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had officially received notification from ECOWAS and assured the public that the full amount would be transferred to the appropriate authorities upon receipt.
He expressed Ghana’s gratitude, describing the gesture as a demonstration of the regional bloc’s solidarity and African compassion.
The donation comes after severe flooding affected several communities across Ghana, displacing residents, destroying homes and property, and leaving many families in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
The ECOWAS contribution is expected to support ongoing relief and recovery efforts aimed at assisting flood victims and helping affected communities rebuild.
