One major concern remains access to adequate healthcare. Economic growth and development is only possible with the inclusive, equitable and sustainable investment in people that extends access to crucial health and social services. For the government of Ghana, improving access to quality healthcare is a top priority.
This is designed to be aligned with, and to inform, Ghana's national strategic development and policy plans. “Ghana is focused on building a more sustainable and resilient society by putting in place measures that ensure we adapt to climate change impacts on infrastructures such as roads, dams, power distribution lines, homes, drains and all structures that life revolves around,” said Dr. Kwaku Afriyie, Ghana's Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation. “Safeguarding the physical and institutional components of Ghana's infrastructure system will enable the country to successfully progress along a trajectory of sustained growth,” he added. The report is further accompanied by a handover and training to government officials on the open-source data and tools used within the assessment.
