  3. OBJECTIVES OF PRESENTATION What is SAP and ERP? Why SAP and ERP? Performance before SAP/ERP. Performance after SAP/ERP. Has SAP and ERP achieve its goals?

  4. THE ECONOMY(BRIEF ACCOUNT) During the 1950-60, GDP grew annually by 4.1 % and agricultural output by 4.3 %. High growth in the output of the major export crop, cocoa, provided the basis for rising investment via increased foreign exchange availability. With export earnings rising at 3.2 % per annum during the nineteen-fifties, both imports and gross domestic investment grew at 8.9 % per annum during the decade. Industrial output also rose at 6.7% per annum.

  5. What is ERP and SAP? • Economic Recovery Programme (ERP)-1983/86 • Structural Adjustment Programme­­ (SAP)-1986/90 To reverse the deterioration in the economy since 1970, and resume, sustain and accelerate growth, Ghana launched the ERP and­­ SAP. Were supported by the World Bank Group and various facilities of the IMF including the enhanced structural adjustment facility (ESAF) and other concessional assistance.

  6. Why the ERP and SAP? The ERP and SAP was implemented because of the following: • Persistent high inflation. • Decline in production and export. • A decline in per capita income increased poverty. • A worsening of income distribution. • Growing unemployment. • Flourishing illegal activities. • Emigration of skilled professionals. • Political instability.

  8. BODYPLAN VERSUS ACTUAL OUTCOME

  9. CONCLUSION Using this analysis, the ERP/SAP appears less successful. The real GDP growth rate fell slightly below target, whilst inflation, domestic savings, gross fixed capital formation, broad money growth and the balance of payments, trade account, all missed their targets by a significant margin. Only government budget deficit and the balance of payments current account and overall balance did actual outcomes surpass the target.
