Democracy and Governance Assessment

Democracy International (DI) conducted a Democracy and Governance Assessment in Ghana to provide the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Ghana with a comprehensive analysis of the needs and realistic opportunities for assisting the consolidation of democratic rule in Ghana utilizing the four-step approach and methodology of USAID’s newly revised DG Strategic Assessment Framework (SAF).

The team consisted of Leslie Fox, Barak Hoffman, and, local Ghanaian expert, Amos Anyimadu. Michael Keshishian, a senior officer from USAID’s Economic Growth Office, also joined the team throughout its field work and participated in team deliberations. The team gathered information for the assessment from interviews conducted during a three-week stay and from available documents and published reports.
