An International Monetary Fund (IMF) Technical Assistance mission has completed a four-day visit to Accra, aimed at supporting Ghana’s drive to implement critical governance reforms outlined in the IMF’s recent Governance Diagnostic Report.
The mission, which took place from December 8 to 11, 2025, was led by Ms. Tina Burjaliani and included Mr. Gomiluk Otokwala and Ms. Nusula Nassuna. It was conducted at the request of Ghanaian authorities, following the publication of the Governance Diagnostic Report for Ghana on November 3, 2025.
The report provides an in-depth evaluation of governance and corruption risks in the country, and highlights priority reforms to improve public financial management, revenue administration, property rights, public-sector integrity, and accountability across state institutions.
During their visit, the IMF team worked closely with Ghanaian officials as they began implementing the report’s key recommendations. The team also discussed ways to coordinate technical and financial support with other development partners, in order to maintain momentum for reform.
Meetings were held with senior government officials, civil society organisations, and international partners, centring on follow-up actions, implementation strategies, and maximizing external support for advancing the governance agenda.
The IMF pledged ongoing collaboration with the Ghanaian authorities and development partners, including within the framework of the Extended Credit Facility programme, to ensure effective implementation of the Governance Diagnostic recommendations.
In conclusion, the Fund expressed its gratitude to the Ghanaian authorities and stakeholders for their cooperation, hospitality, and open dialogue throughout the mission.
