    Republic of Ghana GHANA: Voluntary National Review Report on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development JUNE 2019 Ghana’s Voluntary National Review Report on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Published by: National Development Planning Commission, No.13 Switchback Road, Cantonments, Accra. © National Development Planning Commission All rights reserved. First printing: July 2019 Material in this publication may be freely quoted or reprinted. Acknowledgement is requested together with a copy of the publication. This report is available on the NDPC website: www.ndpc.gov.gh Designed and Printed by: Print Innovation www.print-innovation.com SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT ne of the noblest decisions the world has taken in this twenty-first century is the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs present us with Oa great opportunity to bring prosperity to millions of people, address the existential challenge of climate change, and enhance global security and most importantly to build the World that We Want. Fortuitously, the Global Goals are well aligned with Africa’s Agenda 2063. The human, environmental and climate gains that will accrue from successful implementation of these global goals are important for national, regional and global peace, prosperity and stability. It has been almost four years since we committed ourselves to this noble and game-changing agenda, and the Voluntary National Review gives us an opportunity to take stock of progress made, identify areas where we fall short, and crucially to put in place urgent policy and programmatic actions to accelerate implementation of the Goals. I am delighted that, this year, Ghana has been accorded the opportunity to share the results of our actions, our experiences, challenges and best practices with the rest of the world through our Voluntary National Review report.

The U.S. government’s attitude is that immigrants should be responsible for their own resettlement. Catholic Social Teaching establishes needs related to resettlement as basic human rights. How do Jubilee House and Our Lady of Sorrows, both Catholic faith-based organizations in Hartford, Connecticut, fill in the gaps between state-provided services and the norms of human rights? What are the implications of immigrant accommodation via faith-based social justice for the human rights discourse on citizenship and cultural relevance? A formal, exploratory case study of each of these FBOs, over a 3-month period, provide us with some answers to these questions.

  • Guide to U.S. Government Export Programs and Resources for Trade and Investment
    GUIDE TO U.S. GOVERNMENT EXPORT PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES FOR TRADE AND INVESTMENT International markets are an essential part of many companies’ growth strategies. Having expert knowledge and meaningful support available at all stages of the international buying and selling process, from initial efforts to identify potential markets all the way to factoring receipts, can mean the difference between a thriving business and one that never quite gets off the ground. The United States Government (USG) offers a variety of resources to African and United States companies that want to trade with and invest in one another’s markets. This document is a “one-stop shop” that outlines the major USG programs and resources available to these companies. It also provides links, brief descriptions, and comments to help companies decide if a resource might be useful. This guide also provides brief capsule descriptions of the principal USG departments and agencies involved in international trade and development. These descriptions can help businesspeople understand the different roles that these entities play in international trade. MAY 2011 This brief was produced by SEGURA Partners, LLC for review by the U.S. Agency of International Development, U.S. trade agencies, and USAID-sponsored African trade hubs. It was prepared by Knowledge Sharing & Analysis project Senior Technical Advisor Paxton Helms. GUIDE TO U.S. GOVERNMENT EXPORT PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES FOR TRADE AND INVESTMENT 1 QUICK HITS FOR AFRICAN EXPORTERS AND U.S. IMPORTERS USAID-funded Trade Hubs can provide African companies with technical assistance, information, and contacts to help them begin or expand their export business.

  • Auditor General.Pdf
    His Excellency The President of the Republic of Ghana c/o Presidency Secretariat Office of the President Jubilee House Accra 8 July 2020 By email Dear Mr President, CONCERNED PERSONS RESPOND TO PRESIDENCY CONCERNING AUDITOR- GENERAL We, the undersigned, hereby wish to register our deepest concern over the recent steps taken by the Presidency in relation to the Auditor-General of Ghana. The decision to require the Auditor-General to take enforced leave of office based on his accumulated holiday entitlement is – with the greatest respect to the Presidency – an unconstitutional and flagrant interference with the independence and mandate of the Office of Auditor-General. We call on the Presidency to reconsider this decision as a matter of urgency, and allow the Auditor-General to proceed unimpeded in his important work. The Auditor-General’s Independence is Guaranteed by the Constitution Article 187 (7) (a) of the Constitution states: In the performance of his functions under this Constitution or any other law the Auditor-General - (a) shall not be subject to the direction or control of any other person or authority; [Emphasis added] 1 This provision is clear and unambiguous. The framers of our Constitution limited the President’s powers over the Auditor General to the power to “acting in accordance with the advice of the Council of State, request(ing) the Auditor-General in the public interest, to audit, at any particular time, the accounts of any (public) body or organisation as is referred to in clause (2) of this article (187).[1]” [Emphasis added]. Furthermore, the Constitution prescribes that the “The salary and allowances payable to the Auditor-General, his rights in respect of leave of absence, retiring award or retiring age shall not be varied to his disadvantage during his tenure of office”[2].
