Sunyani, Ghana – Dr. Gabriel Gbiel Benarkuu (Ph.D), a renowned Organisation Development Certified Consultant (ODCC), has called on the Ministry of Finance to proactively integrate the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) programme (Act of Parliament) into the 2026 budget and policies, to accelerate the implementation of key projects outlined in the country’s national economic policies and budgetstatement.
The 2026 budget has earmarked significant investments in agriculture modernisation, and Dr. Benarkuu believes that leveraging the PPP Act of Parliament can help strengthen other critical sectors, including:
1. National Security Housing: Providing adequate housing for security personnel is crucial for national security. The PPP programme can attract private investors to develop and manage housing projects for security personnel.
2. Ghana Universities and Colleges Hostels Programme: The PPP programme can help address the accommodation challenges facing students in Ghanaian universities and colleges. Private investors can develop and manage hostels, improving the learning environment and student experience.
3. Joint Venture Partnership Promotions: The PPP programme can facilitate joint ventures between local and foreign companies, promoting economic growth, job creation, and technology transfer.
Dr. Benarkuu emphasized that integrating the PPP programme in the 2026 budget will:
– Attract private investment to support the national development interventions,
– Enhance efficiency and effectiveness in project implementation,
– Promote transparency and accountability in public-private partnerships,
– Increase non-recourse funding, and
– Contribute to the achievement of Ghana’s development goals through collaborative partnerships.
The PPP Act of Parliament provides a framework for private sector participation in the delivery of public infrastructure and services. Dr. Benarkuu urged the Ministry of Finance to take advantage of this Act to drive economic growth and development in Ghana.
Recommendations:
The Ministry of Finance should Proactively:
- Engage procurement, engineering and funding (EPC + F) companies to additionally with funding.
- Engage Development NGOs through collaborative summits for increased in non-recourse funding.
- Promote ppp joint venture projects in all tertiary institutions in Ghana.
- Conduct an assessment on PPP-BOT Projects Implementation in Ghana to inform new policies.
If the Ministry of Finance look beyond the budget, it could double gains for Ghana.
