Rapid Response Mechanism Grant in Ghana

The Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) is a discretionary grant facility which will be used for swift support to reform initiatives of public sector beneficiaries. Grants from the Mechanism can be used to support alignment of existing reforms or for new policy reform initiatives aimed at improving the business enabling environment for the oil palm and cashew value chains.

Specifically, grants from the Mechanism can be used for contracting experts to review or contribute to policies and reforms, to provide input to the design of public support programs, to capacitate working groups responsible for policy development and review or carry out studies in preparation of forthcoming policies, reforms and support programs.
