Ghana Country Strategy and Programme Evaluation
Overview
The Independent Office of Evaluation of IFAD (IOE) has conducted a country strategy and programme evaluation (CSPE) in the Republic of Ghana. This evaluation, which covers the period 2013–2023, is IOE’s third country-level evaluation in Ghana.
The CSPE found that IFAD-supported operations were strongly aligned with the country’s national priorities and strategic framework, with the operations adapting focus if required. IFAD’s partnership with the Government was strong. Overall, the country programme created employment opportunities, including for vulnerable groups.
However, income improvements were uneven. On-farm income increases were modest, while off-farm incomes rose comparatively more. Targeting was sound in specific geographic areas, but not in nationwide programmes. The development and provision of financial services for value chains and micro-, small and medium enterprises were fragmented.
The CSPE’s recommendations for the future include further expanding partnerships with the private sector and other development actors supporting pro-poor-oriented rural enterprises and value chains. In addition, targeting should also consider the strengths, local knowledge, specific needs and preferences of target groups.
