The year 2020 was an extraordinary one. With the world beset by the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent socio-economic impact on all nations; the Sustainable Development Goals have suffered significant setbacks over the last seven months. Some of the Global Goals, such as, Poverty Eradication, Zero Hunger and Climate Action have retrogressed or stalled. The government of Ghana has therefore been compelled to review and significantly adjust the 2020 national budget to reflect the remedial measures taken to protect citizens, livelihoods, enterprises and industries as well as facilitate sustainable recovery. These adjustments impacted the government’s initial priority spending for 2020 thereby influencing spending on specific goals. For example, the Ministry of Health’s expenditure increased from GHC6.5 billion to GHc8.1 billion as a result of the emergency measures taken to ensure effective case management of COVID-19 and the continuous provision of safe non-COVID-19 related services to the population. Through the Coronavirus Alleviation Programme and the Ghana CARES Obaatan Pa programme, the Parliament of Ghana has approved the spending of GHC1,203,702,000 and GHC2,028,000,000 respectively to ensure decent work and economic growth, a reduction in inequalities, protection for industries and the facilitation of innovation and infrastructure development among others. With this report being the third publication within the series of SDGs budget reports produced, we have improved our ability to track budget allocations across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), as well as Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). This process has provided the opportunity for the Ministry of Finance, Subnational Governments, Development Partners and other stakeholders to recognize the Global Goals that have been prioritized over the last three years at the Local Government Level and the Central Government’s commitment to the implementation of the SDGs. The 2020 SDGs Budget report organizes the budget data in a manner that enables Subnational Governments to appreciate how their colleagues are using government and non-government resources to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs. It also provides the opportunity for Private Sector and Social Enterprises to identify the areas and the specific Global Goals that require extra funding and focus. During this period of remediation and recovery, the government believes that the country will, through the President’s Coordinated Programme, the Ghana CARES Obaatan Pa Programme and the Government’s collaborative engagement with Private Sector, successfully accelerate its progress towards the SDGzs in spite of the challenges of COVID-19. SDGs Budget Report 2020 - 03 Introduction The 2020 SDGs Budget Report is a continuation of the efforts of the Government of Ghana to evaluate and define the funding gap for the SDGs in order to establish a financing mechanism that enables the country to fund and execute the Global Goals as expected. Tracking the budgets and expenses of the nation in line with its implementation of the targets, which are aligned with national development priorities, has given the opportunity for all stakeholders to assess how much the various goals and metrics have been accomplished over the years, laying the groundwork for determining how much more will be needed to realize the SDGs. The transparent reporting on government’s spending on the SDGs provides both Private Sector and Multilateral Development Partners the opportunity to determine which goals require more attention, or the MDAs & MMDAs that require financial or technical assistance in working towards the achievement of the goals. It also provides the Government the opportunity to adjust its allocations to ensure the equitable distribution of resources across MDAs & Municipalities and Districts. This report therefore provides insight into which Assemblies are receiving the most or least in funding towards the implementation of the SDGs locally. The 2020 SDGs Budget Report seeks to provide data that will enable the Government and its partners to monitor the progress being made on the various goals against the investments made over the years to ascertain the efficient use of all financial resources. Relying on the same methodology as was used with the 2019 Budget report, this report successfully compares the allocation of resources per Goals and per Indicator in the 2019 and the 2020 Budget providing further insight into Government priorities at all levels – national, regional and the subnational. As part of the Government’s efforts to develop an efficient national financing framework, the Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Finance, the SDG Unit at the Presidency, the Ghana Statistical Service, together with KPMG and ISSER have been working on the costing of the SDGs in Ghana. The costing exercise relies on the SDGs Budget Report for establishing the baseline measures. Upon the completion of the costing of the SDGs in Ghana, the SDGs Budget will continue to be one of the critical tools for tracking the progress government and its Developing Partners will be making in filling the financing gap and the additional efforts that must be effected to mobilize the additional resources. Further, Government is actively developing the Integrated Assembly Financing Frameworks (IAFFs) which are expected to provide opportunities that will not only bring current financing sources together, but also identify new and innovative financing strategies and put in place the needed governance structures to implement same. The IAFF, which is a bottom up approach, is expected to feed into the development of the Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF). The debilitating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on societies across the world and their resultant impact on the progress made with the SDGs to date have increased the already daunting SDGs financing gap that the developing world has been faced with since the establishment of the Agenda 2030 in 2015. Due to the economic uncertainty created by the pandemic, Gzovernment, within the 2020 Budget has been compelled to put in place some emergency socio-economic programmes to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on lives and livelihoods whilst working with industry and SMEs to ensure critical stimulus for the economy. These interventions should enable the government, and its critical stakeholders, to mobilize more resources domestically towards the implementation of the SDGs. SDGs Budget Report 2020 - 03 SDGs Budget Report 2020 - 04 Methodology HIS SECTION DESCRIBES the methodology The CoA is in line with international best practices developed to enhance SDG budgeting known as GFS1 and COFOG2, and is the cornerstone of the and reporting at all levels of governance Ghana Integrated Financial Management Information in Ghana.

To date, adaptation, mitigation and development related to key climate-sensitive sectors have often been treated separately. This paper uses qualitative document analysis, content analysis, expert interviews and a multi-stakeholder workshop to: examine the extent to which policies in climate-sensitive sectors align in framing adaptation, mitigation and development action; and identify key areas of policy coherence in Ghana. The paper answers the following questions: (i) To what extent are Ghana’s agriculture, energy, water, forest and wildlife sector policies aligned with climate adaptation, mitigation and development? (ii) What is the extent of policy coherence amongst climate-sensitive sector policies? (iii) Where are the key intervention points available to enhance CCD activities? Findings demonstrate that Ghana’s climate-sensitive sector policies in agriculture, water, energy, forest and wildlife arenas have elements that demonstrate good alignment with adaptation, mitigation, and development priorities.

  • Usaid/Ghana Country Development and Cooperating Strategy
    USAID/GHANA COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT AND COOPERATING STRATEGY CLIMATE RISK SCREENING SUMMARY OF CLIMATE RISK SCREENING Introduction The climate risk screening process for USAID/Ghana CDCS entails two main steps: 1) how the Mission’s Development Objectives (DOs) may be at risk from climate shocks and stresses, and how to potentially reduce the impacts of those risks; and 2) identify sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Ghana, and ways USAID/Ghana’s programming can limit emissions. Given that the climate risks have been analyzed at the strategy level (i.e., the CDCS level), more detailed analyses will be required at both the project and activity levels for some programmatic areas. The purpose of the climate risk screening was to identify and prioritize climate risks that should be considered in order to promote resilience in development programming and ensure the effectiveness of USAID’s investments. This climate risk assessment is not a full climate vulnerability assessment. However, the screening process helped identify potential programmatic areas that may require further assessment when designing projects and activities and those programmatic areas that are at a low risk from climate requiring no further analysis and consideration at later stages of the program cycle. Climate Risk Screening Method For the climate risk screening process, USAID/Ghana in consultation with the Africa Bureau Climate Integration Lead (CIL) and the West African Regional Environment team worked closely to engage with all three Development Objective teams in the Mission to complete the climate risk screening tool in February-March 2020. The technical basis of the assessment was partly informed by the Ghana Climate Risk Profile developed by USAID, Ghana’s GHG Factsheet from USAID, World Resources Institute Climate Analysis Indicator Tool, Ghana's Third National Communication Report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Ghana’s Fourth National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report as well as other technical documents developed by academics.

  • Barriers to Urban Greenspace Planning in the Kumasi Metropolis: Implications and Hints for Climate Change Interventions in Ghana’S Urban Areas
    Barriers to Urban Greenspace Planning in the Kumasi Metropolis: Implications and Hints for Climate Change Interventions in Ghana’s Urban Areas A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Regional Development Planning in the School of Planning of the College of Design, Architecture, Arts, and Planning by Stephen Kofi Diko Master of Community Planning Bachelor of Science in Development Planning, Ghana July 2019 Committee: Danilo Palazzo, PhD (Chair) Leah Hollstein, PhD Xinhao Wang, PhD ABSTRACT Globally, climate change impacts threaten the sustainability of human and natural systems. Urban areas, and regions rapidly urbanizing such as Africa, will experience climate change impacts the most. Subsequently, there have been calls to increase capacities to tackle climate change impacts, with a view of promoting sustainability. One such call draws attention to a need for increasing the availability of urban greenspaces. To heed this call demands an understanding of the factors inhibiting effective urban greenspace planning and how they can be planned as climate change interventions (CCIs) to address climate change impacts. This research provides some insights. It was undertaken in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana, underpinned by three arguments: (1) Institutional barriers to urban greenspace planning contribute to a low emphasis on urban greenspaces in the Kumasi Metropolis; (2) The socio-cultural factors surrounding the use and demand for urban greenspaces in the Kumasi Metropolis place a low emphasis on urban greenspaces; and (3) The institutional and socio-cultural barriers to urban greenspace planning provide hints of the challenges of planning for CCIs in the Kumasi Metropolis.
