Welcome
The aid architecture in Ghana and elsewhere is changing. Many donors are moving from projects and programmes to sector budget support mechanisms, such as the Natural Resource & Environment Governance (NREG) sector budget support mechanism in Ghana. NREG sector budget support is a mechanism for multi-donor sector budgetary support to the Government of Ghana, with specific benchmarks as result indicators in environment, mining and forestry in a number of areas that directly impact poor, rural citizens. Government progress on the targets is assessed each year prior to agreements on release of funding.
There is growing consensus that improved governance in the natural resource and environment sector in Ghana could translate into more equitable resource distribution and poverty reduction. To support this process, a civil society support mechanism Kasa (“speak out” in twi) was instituted.
