“This time [there are] 169 targets to meet in 15 years and so it means that we have a lot of work to do. In Ghana, what we have done is to set up the SDG implementation committee and this committee is supposed to be the one that oversees the attainment of the SDG goals and will also be responsible for monitoring and evaluating annually on what progress we are making in achieving these goals.
“At the time we agreed on the SDGs, we (Ghana) agreed also at the same time, coming up with our long-term development plan, and so we have a 40-yr development plan… It is a good thing that we managed to get the SDGs to be able to be incorporated in our 40-year-development plan.”
