TOWARDS A MORE INCLUSIVE SOCIETY” UNDP Ghana Human Development Report 2007

Good people, I thought to bring to your attention the UNDP human development Report on Ghana.

“TOWARDS A MORE INCLUSIVE SOCIETY” which is the theme for this year’s National HumanDevelopment Report, captures not only the vision of this government, but also the objectives and targets of the UN’sMillennium Development Goals (MDGs). It recognises also the agenda of the New Partnership for Africa’sDevelopment (NEPAD) including the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), to which Ghana was the first tosubmit herself for review. The recommendations are being implemented.

Ghana’s plan for promoting inclusiveness has been incorporated in national economic developmentprogrammes, such as the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS I) and the Growth and Poverty ReductionStrategy (GPRS II). Government has also launched an ambitious Public Sector Reform Programme with a monitoringand evaluation component, to improve efficiency in policy implementation and also to develop a new and positivemindset for Public/Private Partnership for accelerated growth. The UNDP is among the key partners supporting theseprogrammes.
