External Engagement: Experiences from Ghana and Mozambique

The report attributes Ghana's positive standing with donors to its relative stability in a volatile region and the active participation of civil society in development initiatives. For Mozambique, the report highlights the government's pragmatic, non-ideological approach to development and its acceptance of its role as a regional player as key lessons for other African states.

• Ghana maintains a positive reputation among international donors because it is viewed as a relative success within a region characterized by uncertainty, and because Ghanaian civil society is heavily involved in local and national governance, economic, and development initiatives.
• Mozambique provides lessons for other African nations through its government's commitment to a pragmatic rather than ideological approach to national development and its willingness to act as a regional player.
