Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) : annual report, 2014 - 2015

The report notes key findings from one ISSER study which reveals that climate change is not a primary objective for the majority of climate-related spending of the National Climate Change Policy in Ghana, and that issues relating to climate change vary across government institutions. Spending directed towards climate action is not labeled as ‘Climate Finance.’ Further, there is no mention in the policy about how funds will be raised to deliver on the plan outlined in the policy document, and no process outlined to ensure transparency and accountability. The report reviews other programmes and outputs of ISSER
