Project: Promoting Citizen’s Participation in the Constitutional Reform Process in Ghana
Evaluation Date: January 2013
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

Constitutional review processes are frequently subject to unexpected changes in the government’s schedule of priorities or politically motivated delays. These are recurring challenges that many UNDEF-funded projects have faced. This project in Ghana took a very cautious approach and identified external risks and therefore formulated more modest expected outputs and results.
