The Republic of Ghana became a Member State of FAO in 1957. In 1959, the Organization established the FAO Regional Office for Africa in Accra and subsequently established the Country Representation in 1977. FAO's collaboration with Ghana is guided by the priorities set out in the Country Programming Framework (CPF), a document jointly developed by FAO and the Government of Ghana. 

The current CPF, covering the period 2018-2022, identifies as main priority areas for cooperation the following: 

1. Sustainable Agriculture drives agro-industrialization and economic growth 
2. Sustainable natural resource management for a safe, secure and productive environment 
3. Resilient livelihoods for reduced vulnerability and rural poverty

Purpose and Objectives of the evaluation:

This evaluation is part of a series of Country programme evaluations (CPEs) conducted by the Office of Evaluation of FAO. Its purpose is to assess the contributions made by FAO to the achievement of agreed CPF objectives, FAO’s strategic relevance to the needs and priorities of each country and draw lessons and recommendations that could inform planning of FAO’s future engagement in a given country.

The objectives of the evaluation are to assess:

• the relevance of the FAO Country programme in responding to country needs; 
• the strategic positioning of the Organization in relation to other actors;
• FAO’s contributions to the three priority areas of the CPF; and
• FAO’s approach and capacity in Ghana;

The results of the evaluation will contribute to FAO’s next programming cycle in Ghana. 

The evaluation will be conducted between December 2021 and August 2022. The data collection and field visits will be carried out in March-April 2022.
