Like other governments around the world, Ghana, since the inception of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 in September 2015, has taken actions to further the agenda 2030 and ensure that the targets will be met within the stipulated time frame.
However, initial assessment shows that the rate of progress is slower than is required to achieve the SDGs, Minister for Planning, Professor George Gyan-Baffour has disclosed.
He was speaking at the launch of Ghana’s SDGs Indicator Baseline Report held in Accra today.
The report, which is the first for the SDGs era and follows on from Ghana’s final MDGs report in 2015 provides the baseline status for a set of 56 SDGs indicators and also serves as a reference point for monitoring and tracking progress towards achieving the SDGs as well as the corresponding African Union’s agenda 2063.
