The Director-General of the National Development Policy Commission (NDPC), Dr. Kodjo Esseim Mensah-Abrampa has said Ghana is making much better progress in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.   

According to him, the country can boast of making huge strides in areas including health, access to water, access to electricity, and sanitation. 

He said, "in terms of the strides, Ghana is doing very well and even without congratulating us, other countries are appreciating us in many ways"

He made this known at the “Ghana’s 2022 Voluntary National Review consultation with the youth groups” in Accra with the view of accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

Ghana is among 45 countries that will present their National experiences on the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the High-level Political Forum (HLPF) under the auspices of the United Nations Economic and Social Council in July this year.

A draft report has been prepared after a series of consultations and meetings with various stakeholders. 

This is a consultative meeting by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) Implementation Coordination Committee (ICC) and the National Development Planning Commission with its Development Partners to review the draft report and build consensus on innovative actions for the attainment of the SDGs.

The SDG National Coordinator at the National Development Planning Commission, NDPC, Dr. Richard Osei Bofah, said Ghana is doing well, but there is more room for improvement.
