Tema (Greate Accra) 18 March '99

The three-member delegation of the Duchess Group of Companies from The Netherlands currently in the country yesterday inspected some projects undertaken by the 31st December Women's Movement (DWM) in Tema and Matsekope in the Dangme East District. They include day care centres, kenkey and gari factories and afforestation projects. Mr Rene L.H. Sprangers, chairman of Duchess World Aid Foundation and leader of the delegation which is on a five-day visit, said they would study all the details and consider what kind of investments they could offer. Ghana is safe and has a stable government which is ideal for investment, he noted. The delegation will also explore investment opportunities and assist the health sector under the humanitarian aid component of the Duchess World Aid Foundation. Other members of the delegation are Mr Mike C. Heyl, project manager and Mr James Atta Nuamah, project manager of the group for Africa.
