Description 

The Program Support Unit (PSU) helps increase the effectiveness of development programs in Ghana in a way that maximizes the synergies between the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) delivery instruments (projects and programs), sectors of concentration (water, food security, and good governance), and crosscutting themes (such as environment and gender equality). The PSU activities fall into four functional groups: program/project planning support and professional services; program delivery; administrative support; and logistical services. Expected Outcomes: 1) An enhanced field capacity to serve the needs of CIDA's Ghana Program in terms of data gathering, country, sector and crosscutting theme analysis, project planning and implementation and project monitoring; 2) a greater knowledge and understanding of the Government of Ghana's priorities, Ghana's development challenges, donor coordination and harmonization; 3) an enhancement of the effectiveness of Ghana, CIDA, and donors in meeting the challenges; and 4) an analysis of new programming approaches and thinking that enhances the effectiveness of CIDA's development assistance in Ghana.
