How do teams in the Ghana Civil Service track their progress towards public sector goals?

Project report 9 Sep 2025 Sustainable Growth and State Effectiveness

This report examines how the Ghana Civil Service assesses its performance, focusing on the preparation and use of the Annual Performance Report (APR) and the Chief Director’s Performance Assessment (CDPA). Through interviews and focus group discussions across five ministries and the Office of the Head of Civil Service, the report highlights the strengths and limitations of current diagnostic processes and identifies the CDPA as a more effective tool for evaluating ministry-level performance.
