AKWABA City is going to be one of the biggest and largest smartcity project in west Africa if not sub-saharan.
AKWABA CITY PROJECT is divided in 2 phases:
Phase 1: Land development and Infrastructure
- Road
- Water Supply
- Electricity Supply
- Drainage and sewage system
Phase 2: Construction
- Government buildings: Police stations, Military barracks, Ministries buildings, public Schools, Public Hospitals….
- Private projects: Banques, Commercial centers, markets, gas station, hotels, housings, wholesale markets for agriculture products such as cashew, cola …
Though phase 1 is often financed by the government in this case, the concession to execute the work has been given to SOPHIA in exchange of ownership over the 14,000 Hectares.
SOPHIA with its own finance (of about 100 Millions euros) has already started to do the land development and the infrastructure of 2000 Hectares out of the 14,000 Hectares.
