“TOWARDS A MORE INCLUSIVE SOCIETY” which is the theme for this year’s National Human
Development Report, captures not only the vision of this government, but also the objectives and targets of the UN’s
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It recognises also the agenda of the New Partnership for Africa’s
Development (NEPAD) including the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), to which Ghana was the first to
submit herself for review. The recommendations are being implemented.
Ghana’s plan for promoting inclusiveness has been incorporated in national economic development
programmes, such as the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS I) and the Growth and Poverty Reduction
Strategy (GPRS II). Government has also launched an ambitious Public Sector Reform Programme with a monitoring
and evaluation component, to improve efficiency in policy implementation and also to develop a new and positive
mindset for Public/Private Partnership for accelerated growth. The UNDP is among the key partners supporting these
programmes.
