According to her, “Germany is recognizing the reform-orientation of Government of Ghana and is supporting the efforts with financial and technical programs”. She added that the German government has contributed to the “ambitious goal of making Ghana’s economy able to stand on its own feet and ending the country’s reliance on development assistance in the medium term as it is framed in the vision of a ‘Ghana beyond Aid’.

The GovID in it desire to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in local revenue mobilization and financial management at the local level, has begun an operational planning workshop. This workshop is to set goals and targets for year 2020 implementation.

Country Director of GIZ, Regina Bauerochse Barbosa in her statement said, “the vision of GIZ is to shape a future worth living around the world”. The vision she said, “is corresponding to the goal of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”, she added.

She further touched on the eagerness of Ghana to achieve the SDGs. “I know that Ghana is particularly eager to be the front-runner in achieving the SDGs by 2030 as your president is the co- chair of the SDG advocates”.
