So as we grow and develop, aid will naturally cease, so you don\u2019t need to launch a specific program, call it fanciful name, hold elaborate ceremonies, set up committees to go and draw up reports and charts and launch and think that you are okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo once every government comes and continues to add incrementally to our progress we will eventually become a developed country someday. Once we get there, the aid will not come naturally, so there is really no need to go create an institution or committee or have a special agreement to get us out of aid. What we need to be doing is to do things that would increase our rate of development country quicker,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In February, President Nana Akufo-Addo received a strategy document and Charter that outlines the roadmap for Ghana to achieve self-reliance and the vision of a <strong>\u2018Ghana beyond aid\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The strategic document was prepared and presented to the president by the 13-member Ghana Beyond Aid Charter Committee, which the president constituted in June 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The document is expected to be laid before Parliament and will be a national policy document that will guide the actions of the government, its agencies and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"\/>  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Deputy Information Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has described President Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s unveiling of a Ghana Beyond Aid charter as needless.
