This paper assesses the effectiveness and impact of Aid for Trade (AfT) in Ghana. It analyzes the dynamics of AfT on the ground, the institutional set-up underlying the initiative, its weaknesses, as well as identifying factors that enhance the effectiveness of AfT. It concludes that on one hand, AfT programs have tackled some of the existing constraints that hinder Ghanaian exports, on the other, AfT has not succeeded in strengthening the capacity of local institutions involved in the initiative, which has limited the overall impact of AfT in Ghana.
