Résumé

This Shared Growth and Development Agenda, 2010-2013 represents the Medium-Term National Development Policy Framework for Ghana. The ultimate aim of the Policy is the “establishment of a just and free society where every Ghanaian would have the opportunity to live long, productive, and meaningful lives”, as anchored in the Constitution of 1992. Government responds to this constitutional injunction within the context of its “Better Ghana Agenda” with, inter alia, the following social and economic goals: 1) Putting food on people’s tables; 2) Providing citizens with secure and sustainable jobs; 3) Rehabilitating and expanding infrastructural facilities; 4) Expanding access to potable water and sanitation, health, housing and education; 5) Guaranteeing the security of persons and their property; 6) Embarking on an affirmative action to rectify errors of the past, particularly as they relate to discrimination against women; 7) Reducing geographical disparities in the distribution of national resources; 8) Ensuring environmental sustainability in the use of natural resources through science, technology and innovation; 9) Pursuing an employment-led economic growth strategy that will appropriately link agriculture to industry, particularly manufacturing; 10) Creating a new social order of social justice and equity, premised on the inclusion of all; 11) Maximizing transparency and accountability in the use of public funds and other national resources.In particular, programmes, policies and projects will be prioritized in the following areas: 1) Agriculture; 2) Infrastructure (including energy, oil and gas); 3) Water and sanitation; 4) Health; 5) Education (including science, technology and innovation).
