Policy think tank, IMANI Ghana \u00a0has graded the Mahama-led administration 47 % for its overall performance since it took over power in 2012.<\/p>\n
The think tank, in its assessment report described the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) performance as “satisfactory” but was quick to add that there is more room for improvement.<\/p>\n
This was after IMANI Ghana assessed the party based on its promises in the 2012 manifesto.<\/p>\n
The report also evaluated the rate of execution of programs and projects stated in the manifesto and identified the gaps that should to be bridged over the next year and a half before the 2016 election.<\/p>\n
For the economy, \u201cthe NDC government had a cumulative score of\u00a0 36.4%, reflecting a strong progress in the implementation of security services and economy, road and safety taskforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NDC, according to the report, \u00a0also scored\u00a0 65.7 %, reflecting very strong scores in non formal education, distant learning and\u00a0 open schooling and satisfactory progress in all the sub themes except secondary education.<\/p>\n
Presenting the report, an economist with IMANI Ghana, Emmanuel Boadi Mensah however pinpointed some promises government had not yet fulfilled.<\/p>\n
He said : \u201cthe GDP growth has decreased from about 15% in 2011 to a projected 3.5 %.This means that the 8.5 % that they punched has not been achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although physical deficit has decreased, \u00a0the report indicates that the deficit is still above the target of 5% promised.<\/p>\n
His assertion is in conformity with the Minister of Finance, Seth Terkper<\/p>\n
