The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) has launched the fourth and final Annual Progress Report of the Agenda for Jobs II; Creating Prosperity and Opportunities for All policy framework, with a call for stronger commitment from state institutions to Ghana’s medium-term development goals.

The 2025 National Annual Progress Report (APR), which assesses the implementation of the 2022–2025 development framework, was launched during a media briefing led by the Director-General of the NDPC, Dr Audrey Smock Amoah on July 16, 2026.

Dr Amoah said the report was the result of a nationwide monitoring and evaluation exercise carried out in collaboration with ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), regional coordinating councils, metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies, and other state institutions responsible for providing development data.

She urged public institutions to strictly adhere to the guidelines of the national medium-term development framework, stressing that coordinated efforts among state actors would be critical to sustaining Ghana’s economic recovery and transformation agenda.

The NDPC Director-General noted that lessons and emerging issues identified from the implementation of the Agenda for Jobs II framework would inform the development and execution of the Resetting Ghana Agenda: Creating Jobs, Ensuring Accountability and Promoting Shared Prosperity (2026–2029).

The Chairperson of the NDPC, Dr Nii Moi Thompson, said the report would promote transparency and accountability by providing credible evidence on Ghana’s development performance to government, Parliament, civil society organisations, development partners, and citizens.

He emphasised that the success of national development should be measured by improvements in the lives of citizens rather than only by the number of policies introduced or projects completed.

“Development is not measured simply by the number of policies we prepare or projects we implement. Rather, it is measured by improvements in people’s lives. It is reflected in better schools, quality healthcare, decent employment opportunities, improved infrastructure, stronger institutions and greater opportunity for every Ghanaian,” Dr Thompson said.

The Agenda for Jobs II framework was introduced to accelerate economic recovery, create jobs and expand opportunities for citizens.

The NDPC said the final progress report provides an evidence-based review of the country’s performance and will serve as a foundation for shaping future development priorities under the Resetting Ghana Agenda (2026–2029).
