Sixth Report - The Changing Nature of UK Aid in Ghana Review: report from the Sub-Committee on the Work of ICAI

Summary written by Accountability Index from the government's response. It is not the government's own words.

The government welcomes the Sub-Committee's report and its endorsement of ICAI's positive review, and says the Committee's views and recommendations "will be taken into account" in its new strategic processes.

• On the Committee's call to maintain a diverse portfolio including social sectors, the government cites direct funding for vaccinations, neglected tropical disease treatment and girls' education, and says a new HMG Strategy for Ghana "will be established" in line with the Foreign Secretary's seven global challenges.
• On multilateral programmes, the government welcomes ICAI's recognition of their role and says HMG Accra is "already stepping up to this challenge", working closely with the World Bank.
• On the pandemic, the government says it is "deeply concerned" about the impact on Ghana and reports that it has increased support for health communications, social assistance and distance education.
• On girls' education, the government says it "will remain a priority" and that, in early 2021, it will work with the Government of Ghana and non-state partners on a review of the Girls-PASS programme 2012–2020.
