Poverty-Reducing Institutional Change and PRSP Processes: The Ghana Case

Tony Killick

No DP2001-70, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: This paper assesses the preparation of Ghana's Poverty Reduction Strategy paper (GPRS), paying particular attention to its likely influence on the institutionalisation of anti-poverty measures in the country's political economy. After examining contextual factors, it analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the GPRS processes, including the responses of donors and the extent to which the GPRS will result from wider consultation and participation. It also examines its monitoring and informational aspects.
