Dr Nii Moi Thompson, Chairman of the National Development Planning Commission, has stressed the need for Ghana to adopt a strategic approach when receiving foreign aid.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Citi FM on Thursday February 6, he pointed out that the way aid is utilised is crucial, as donor countries often have their own motivations which can sometimes misalign with the recipient country's development priorities. "It is about how we use aid, and you need to be very strategic as an aid recipient because sometimes those who give you aid also have their own motivations.
How does it align with your development priorities because it may look attractive but it may also distort development priorities.
So I have been reviewing our loans books and the quality of our loans is so bad," Dr.
