This report is the result of an independent country level evaluation called the Assessment of Development Results (ADR). The evaluation was conducted in 2011 by the Evaluation Office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Its objective was to examine the relevance and strategic positioning of UNDP support in Ghana and its contributions to the country’s development results from 2002 to 2010.

The evaluation assessed UNDP’s interventions under the programme areas of governance, poverty reduction and Millennium Development Goals achievement, environment and energy. The evaluation concluded that while UNDP’s substantive contribution to Ghana’s development agenda was recognized, there was need to address some of its ineffective and inefficient business processes and operational constraints in order to enhance the organization’s ability to deliver.
