Ghana
The Challenge
Ghana has made significant progress on key economic and social fronts, despite continuing political turmoil in the region. However, daunting challenges remain. Every year approximately 17,000 people die from malaria and one in ten children die before the age of five. In the northern regions, most people live on substantially less than $1 a day and have severely limited access to clean drinking water. Access to quality education remains a challenge for girls. Ghana's Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II) highlights the need for accelerated growth, sustainable livelihoods, expanded social services, and improved government structures. USAID has responded with a strategy that strengthens governance systems, promotes private sector competitiveness, improves health care delivery, increases food security and production, and enhances access to quality basic education
