SUBJECT: Ghana: Special Self-Help final obligation report (FY07 and 
FY08) 
 
¶1.  Post's USD 40,000 Special Self-Help Fund (FY08) allocations have 
been awarded to 2 projects listed below.  Grants were allocated 
under three elements: Water Supply and Sanitation (1 project); and 
Social Assistance (6 projects).  Geographic distribution of projects 
by region is as follows: Central (2); Northern (2); Upper West (1); 
Volta (1); Western (1).  All 7 projects target deprived communities 
in great need of the benefits each project will provide.  An 
additional USD 50,000 PEPFAR Fund (FY08) allocation has been awarded 
to 2 projects using the SSH Model to support the fight against 
HIV/AIDS. 
 
¶2. For the projects that will construct school blocks, post obtained 
written confirmation of the GOG's commitment to provide teachers for 
the additional classrooms.  Some of the approved projects will 
complete unfinished construction.  Post sought to ensure that 
previously uncompleted construction was due to a project's reliance 
on ongoing community fundraising rather than from any mismanagement.
