2016 Briefer - Economic Growth

Body

The goal of USAID’s Economic Growth program is to realize sustainable and broadly shared economic growth in Ghana

Extended Country Development & Cooperation Strategy - 2020

Body

Ghana’s economic progress over the last 20 years has been laudable. Economic growth is averaging more than six percent each year and the country is among the few in Sub-Saharan Africa expected to meet the Millennium Development Goal of halving the poverty rate by 2015.

USAID/Ghana Annual Report 2016

Body

2016 was truly a landmark year for Ghana. We spent much of the year working with our partners to ensure the December general election was free, fair, and peaceful. We partnered with the Electoral Commission of Ghana to improve its communication with voters and overall effectiveness. We collaborated with civil society to ensure the elections were inclusive—and to support a robust election observation program. And we worked with religious leaders, traditional leaders, and communities to promote peaceful conflict resolution. I was privileged to witness the election and ensuing peaceful transition of power between political parties last December. This cemented Ghana’s status as a rolemodel of peaceful democracy.
