    Introduction:

    The Reform of the Public Sector towards Private Sector facilitation aimed to transform the public sector into a dynamic and efficient institution, as well as to facilitate and respond to the needs of the private sector. These were to be realized through contributing capacity building in the public sector towards the private sector facilitation.

    Project Description:

    The project had six specific objectives that included:

    • Enhancing capacities in the Civil Service Department;
    • Enhancing public servants’ skills in facilitating the private sector through experimental competence development;
    • Enhancing the capacities of the top leadership of the public service in change management;
    • Improving public-private dialogue and consultation mechanisms;
    • Improving the reform of policy and regulatory framework on public –private sector facilitation;
    • Promoting public servants’ understanding of the private sector’s characteristics and potential needs, and identify the private sector’s potential contribution to the country’s development through a customer focused and integrated performance management system; and
    • Creating a clear understanding within government and between government departments and the private sector on their respective and mutually supportive roles, encourage private sector participation in contract and non-core services.   


    The project had three components, namely,

    1. Private sector facilitation and leadership;
    2. Private sector participation; and
    3. Performance management systems

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.
