USAID’s integrated Health, Population, and Nutrition Program promotes equitable health improvements for Ghanaians.
Ghana has one of the fastest growing economies in the world1; however, Ghana’s long-term economic growth is challenged by an expensive supply of power, low access to credit, high borrowing costs, low agricultural productivity, a business climate that restricts private sector growth, and constraints in regional trade.
USAID’s Education Program increases the number of Ghanaian children who are able to read with fluency and comprehension in the early grades of primary school.
USAID’s Democracy, Rights, and Governance Program improves local government performance, enhances government accountability, reduces corruption, and strengthens human rights in Ghana.
From May 8 - 17, 2019, the Ghana Education Service and the American people, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Learning Activity, distributed over 400,000 reading and teaching materials to 7,273 public primary schools in 100 districts in Ghana. Through this activity, USAID partners with the Ministry of Education and its agencies to improve primary school students’ reading and to foster a culture of reading in primary schools.
