OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION
• Background
• Progress made in 2010
– Ensuring and sustaining macroeconomic stability;
– Enhanced competitiveness of Ghana’s private
sector;
– Accelerated agricultural modernisation and natural
resource management;
– Oil and gas development;
– Infrastructure and human settlements development;
– Human development, productivity and employment;
and
2
– Transparent and accountable governance.
BACKGROUND
• As you are aware the Ghana Shared Growth and
Development Agenda (GSGDA), 2010 - 2013
was prepared as the successor to the Growth
and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II) which
was in implementation over the period 2006 and
2009.
• The GSGDA was prepared within the backdrop
that Ghana has developed oil and gas in
commercial quantities, and that the transition to
petroleum producing and exporting economy
represents a critical phase in Ghana’s
development since oil production presents
3
opportunities as well as risks.
BACKGROUND (cont…)
• The GSGDA anticipates that even with prudent
management, petroleum revenues alone are not
likely to change the country’s development status
immediately; and that the full reach of the country’s
transformation can only come with economic and
social modernization.
• Consequently the GSGDA is anchored on the
continued pursuit of macroeconomic stability and the
sustainable exploitation of Ghana’s natural resource
endowments in agriculture, minerals, and oil and gas
supported by strategic investments in human capital,
infrastructure,
human
settlements,
science,
technology and innovation to drive industrialisation, in
particular manufacturing.

Within this context, GSGDA is focused on
priorities in the following thematic areas:

and
Transparent and accountable governance.

BACKGROUND (Cont…)
The Annual Progress Report (APR) is the key
instrument for reporting on the progress made
towards achievement of the goals and objectives of
the GSGDA on an annual basis.
It serves as a single source of information on
progress being made and assists in identifying
weaknesses and constraints to the attainment of the
goals and objectives of the GSGDA. It also makes
recommendations to help address the bottlenecks.
The 2010 APR is the first in the
GSGDA, and presents the status
targets, which were adopted by
tracking the achievements of
programme interventions in 2010
series under the
of indicators and
stakeholders for
key policy and

ENSURING AND SUSTAINING
MACROECONOMIC STABILITY
Overall Real GDP Growth Rate in 2010
• Real GDP Growth for 2010 is estimated at 7.7%, significantly higher
than 6.5% set under the GSGDA and the 2010 Budget Statement,
and the 4.0% achieved in 2009.
• This was driven mainly by strong performance in the Services sector
whose growth of 9.8% exceeded projections by a wide margin.

ACCELERATED AGRICULTURAL
MODERNISATION AND NATURAL
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
I. AGRICULTURAL MODERNIZATION
Total Domestic Production of Selected Staple Food Crops, 2009-2010 (‘000 Mt)
• Provisional data from GSS shows that agriculture sector grew by 5.3% in 2010.
• Total domestic production of major staple foods recorded an increase from 26,256,400
metric tonnes in 2009 to 27,817,260 metric tonnes in 2010, representing 5.9% increase
23
compare to about 9.3% in 2009.
Yield Levels of Selected Agricultural Commodities (2008-2010)
• Maize, rice, cocoyam, plantain, groundnut, and cowpea recorded improvement
in yields, while cassava, yam, millet, sorghum and soybean, recorded no
improvements in yields.
24
• The average percentage increase in yields of these staple crops in 2010 was
estimated at 4.1% compared to 9.1% in 2009.
Area under Cultivation of Major Staple Crops (2008-2010)
• Total land area under cultivation of various staple crops increased marginally by
0.62% in 2010 compared to 5.5% in 2009.
• This implies that the increases in overall production observed in 2010 could largely be
attributed to increases in yield instead of land expansion, compared to 2009 which
25
was largely due to both land intensification and land expansion.
Livestock/Poultry Population (000' Heads) (2008 – 2010)
•The production of the various species increased by an average of
4.2% compared with 3% in 2009
