马哈马政府在经济、农业和治理方面取得的进步受到赞扬 / Mahama Gov't Praised for Progress in Economy, , and Governance

近日，在电视台举行的高层圆桌会议上，多位领域专家对 John Dramani Mahama 总统第二任期首年执政表现给予高度评价。

这场以 "John Mahama 2.0 版：首年专题评估" 为主题的论坛由 Bernard Avle 先生主持，汇集了经济学家、治理专家、农业研究者和环境科学家，对政府关键领域的施政成效进行评估。

宏观经济稳定向好但基础脆弱

经济学家 William Baah-Boateng 教授肯定政府首年维持了宏观经济稳定，同时警告切勿自满。

"2025 年在宏观稳定方面表现良好，这点毋庸置疑。但我们不应沾沾自喜。" 他将关键经济指标比作健康指标："管理经济如同调理人体健康，我把通胀比作高血压，失业比作糖尿病。二者相互关联，若管控不力，可能迅速侵蚀来之不易的稳定局面。"

他强调持续进步需要严格的财政管理和连贯的货币政策："长期稳定才能推动经济转型。"

电力供应稳定终结"电荒"时代

AB & David 非洲律所高级合伙人 David Ofosu-Dorte 先生赞扬政府实现全国电力供应稳定，有效终结了频繁停电（俗称 "dumsor"）的时代。

"撇开电费支付问题，据我在生活和工作区域的观察，电力稳定性已大幅提升。" 他认为改善源于政府处理能源领域长期债务的措施、加纳电力公司更优的现金流管理，以及行业运营透明度的提升。

农业领域进展显著但农民面临挑战

农业科学家 Roger Kanton 教授评估认为 "喂饱加纳"、"24 小时经济"、"Nkukor Nkitinkiti" 等旗舰农业项目进展顺利，但指出粮价低迷影响农民收入。

"需在粮食生产与农民生计间寻求平衡，制定合理粮价，既让民众买得起，又保障农民收入来源。"

治理、透明与问责获认可

加纳透明国际执行主任 Mary Addah 女士高度评价政府首年在善治、问责和包容性方面的承诺。

"我们明确认为，若以问责制、透明度和包容性等关键指标衡量本届政府的善治表现，其工作成果无可指摘。" 她表示。

打击非法采矿成效显著

环境科学家 Ekua Odoom 博士赞扬政府在打击非法采矿（galamsey）和保护森林保护区方面的努力。

"反非法采矿行动成效显著且措施有力，目前已逮捕约 1500 人（含外籍人员）并查没采矿设备。" 她指出。

她同时强调法律改革举措，包括废除禁止在森林保护区采矿的 LI 2462 条例，并呼吁建立永久性制度机制巩固成果。"国家反非法采矿行动虽属良政，但需在重灾区设立常驻机构，不应仅是临时行动。"

师资缺口达三万人

非洲教育观察组织执行主任 Kofi Asare 先生披露，由于 2025 年未招聘新教师，加纳正面临严重师资短缺，约 3 万间教室无教师授课。

他表示，招聘停滞直接影响基础教育，导致众多学童缺乏正规教学，辍学风险加剧。教育系统每年需至少补充 1.5 万名教师以平衡师资分布与自然减员，但 2025 年零招聘使本已紧张的局面雪上加霜。

论坛总结认为马哈马政府首年在宏观经济管理、能源稳定、农业振兴、治理改革和环境保护方面取得显著成效。但专家强调，要保持这些成果需政策连贯性、法律执行力及经济增长与民生福祉的平衡。

"首年表现令人期待，但长期成功取决于政策执行的连贯性、纪律性和有效性。" Baah-Boateng 教授总结道。

Mahama Gov’t Praised for Progress in Economy, Agriculture, and Governance

Experts from various fields have given high marks to the first year of President John Dramani Mahama’s second administration during a high-level roundtable on Channel One  TV on Tuesday.

The programme, themed “John Mahama 2.0: A Thematic Assessment of Year One” and hosted by Bernard Avle, brought together economists, governance specialists, agricultural researchers, and environmental scientists to evaluate the government’s performance across key sectors.

Macroeconomic Stability Remains Positive but Fragile

Economist Professor William Baah-Boateng commended the administration for maintaining macroeconomic stability during its first year, while cautioning against complacency.

“The year 2025 has been good in terms of macro stability. There’s no question about that. But we shouldn’t jubilate,” Prof. Baah-Boateng said.

He likened key economic indicators to medical conditions: “Managing an economy is like managing the health of an individual. I equate inflation to hypertension, and unemployment to diabetes. These two move together, and if poorly managed, they can quickly erode hard-won stability.”

Prof. Baah-Boateng added that sustained progress will require disciplined fiscal management and consistent monetary policy. “Long stability will be able to facilitate economic transformation,” he noted.

Power Supply Stabilisation Marks End of Dumsor Era

David Ofosu-Dorte, Senior Partner at AB & David Africa, praised the administration for stabilising electricity supply nationwide, effectively containing the era of frequent outages, commonly referred to as dumsor.

“Let’s take the power sector apart from the payment. I don’t know if dumsor has returned or ‘dum sie sie’. To the best of my knowledge, from where I stay and work, there has been a large amount of stability,” he said.

Ofosu-Dorte attributed the improvement to government measures addressing the energy sector’s longstanding debt, better cash flow management at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), and enhanced transparency in sector operations.

Agricultural Sector Shows Progress but Farmers Face Challenges

Agricultural research scientist Professor Roger Kanton assessed the administration’s performance in agriculture, noting that flagship initiatives such as Feed Ghana, the 24-Hour Economy, Nkukor Nkitinkiti, farm banks, farmer service centres, and mechanisation centres are on track.

“When you take what the President said he will do and what he has done so far, I think, so far so good,” Prof. Kanton said.

He cautioned, however, that low food prices are limiting farmers’ ability to earn a fair income. “There should be a balance between food production with the livelihood of the farmer in mind, such that there will be an optimal price, so people can afford the food, and at the same time, the farmer can also get a source of income,” he added.

Governance, Transparency, and Accountability Recognised

Mary Addah, Executive Director of Transparency International Ghana, lauded the government’s commitment to good governance, accountability, and inclusiveness during its first year.

“For us, it is our explicit opinion that this government, when you look at the subject matter of good governance, benchmarking them on the key indicators—including accountability, transparency, and inclusiveness—we cannot fault them at all for the work they have done,” she said.

Anti-Illegal Mining Efforts Yield Visible Results

Environmental scientist Dr. Ekua Odoom praised the government for its efforts in combating illegal mining (galamsey) and protecting forest reserves.

“There has been appreciable visibility and clear action in fighting galamsey. So far, about 1,500 arrests have been made, including foreign nationals, alongside the seizure of mining equipment,” Dr. Odoom said.

She also highlighted legal reforms, including the repeal of LI 2462, which banned mining in forest reserves, and stressed the need for permanent institutional mechanisms to sustain these gains.

“The NAIMOS is a very good initiative, but it needs permanent positioning in heavily mined areas. It shouldn’t be a one-off task force event,” she added.

30, 000 Teachers Needed

Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare, however, disclosed that Ghana is currently grappling with a severe teacher deficit, with about 30,000 classrooms operating without teachers following the government’s failure to recruit new teachers in 2025.

According to him, the lack of recruitment has had a direct impact on basic education, leaving many pupils without proper instruction and increasing the risk of school dropouts.

He explained that the education sector requires at least 15,000 new teachers each year to maintain balance in the system, accounting for poor distribution and annual attrition.

However, he noted that no teachers were recruited in 2025, worsening an already strained situation.

Conclusion

The forum concluded that the first year of the Mahama administration has achieved notable successes in macroeconomic management, energy stability, agriculture, governance, and environmental protection.

Experts, however, emphasised that maintaining these gains will require policy consistency, legal enforcement, and careful balancing of economic growth with citizen welfare.

“The first year shows promise, but long-term success will depend on consistency, discipline, and effective execution of policy,” Prof. Baah-Boateng concluded.
