The Institute of Economic Research and Public Policy (IERPP) says the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) 'Resetting Ghana' agenda has yet to gain momentum.
They scored the government’s performance at 35.6 per cent, an “F” grade in its assessment of the administration’s 120-day social contract.
The scorecard was presented as part of the IERPP’s review of the government’s fulfilment of 25 key promises made by President John Mahama before taking office.
These commitments spanned governance, the economy, energy, the environment, and social intervention.
Speaking to JoyNews, the Executive Director of IERPP, Professor Isaac Boadi, said, “The numbers don’t look good. We did this presentation to give Ghanaians a fair idea of the performance of the government so far.”
According to the data, social intervention and economic reset scored 52 per cent and 45.56 per cent respectively.
However, energy and environment, along with governance and accountability, lagged significantly at 16.67 per cent and 23.13 per cent.
Mr Boadi stated that the findings were based on objective analysis and not political bias.
“We scored the government well where it performed and gave it the marks it deserved where it didn’t do so well. The issue of illegal mining is still problematic in this country. The fight isn’t going as expected,” he said.
While some observers argue the 120-day social contract shows promise, the IERPP's evaluation casts doubt on the NDC’s preparedness to meaningfully reset the economy.
