Introduction
The Government of the Republic of Ghana (GOG) in line with its Poverty Reduction Strategy is pursuing a comprehensive Poverty Reduction Programme. In support of this the Government of Ghana through the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development with the Social Investment Fund as the implementing agency, is embarking on a five-year Urban Poverty Reduction Project (UPRP), which aims at contributing to Ghana’s efforts to achieving the MDG that calls for a reduction by half of the proportion of poor living on less than a dollar a day. The focus of the project is sustained poverty alleviation within the framework of the national urban poverty reduction programme through: a) institutional capacity building and human capital development; b) targeted pro-poor socio-economic investments in selected urban areas where demand-driven sub-projects will emerge. |
