Document: Corruption as Bottleneck for Private Sector Development

The “Programme on Promotion of Sustainable Economic Development” is a program of the Ghanaian Ministry of Trade, Industry, Private Sector Development and President’s Special Initiative as well as the Ministry of Finance, supported by the GTZ. The objective of the programme is to improve the legal, economic, political and institutional frame conditions for micro-, small- and medium-scale enterprises. The study at hand is conducted to support the implementation of one of the five components of “Programme on Promotion of Sustainable Economic Development”, namely the Local and Regional Economic Development (LRED) component. As the title already implies, it aims at strengthening capacities of private and public stakeholders at local, regional and national level in development, as well as at implementation and replication of concepts for local and regional economic development.
