Ghana is not one of the priority countries under Ireland's development assistance programme but the country does receive assistance under several headings. For example, €90,000 has been allocated to Ghana this year under the in-country micro projects scheme. This funding is administered by the embassy of Ireland in Nigeria, which is also accredited to Ghana. In addition, €97,129 has been allocated in 2005 under the non-governmental organisation co-financing scheme for a rural community and sanitation project in Ghana proposed by the organisation Children in Crossfire.
