The Africa Centre for Entrepreneurship & Youth Empowerment (ACEYE) has ranked the performance of 50 government institutions via the Index of Government Institution Performance Towards Economic Prosperity (IGIPTEP).

In accessing Ghana’s public sector, the IGIPTEP noted the institutions driving economic progress and growth in Ghana.

Five key indicators were utilised for the survey conducted by the policy think tank dedicated to seeing the country embrace a free market posture, and there are:

- Service Delivery Quality

- Money Management

- Transparency and Accountability

- People and Work Efficiency

- Public Engagement

Data for the 2025 IGIPTEP was collected from official websites, reputable publications, online media, and annual reports with targeted keyword searches used as part of a multi-phase secondary research approach.

The Interior Ministry formerly led by Ambrose Dery and currently led by Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka came up tops.

1st: Ministry of the Interior (80.8%)

2nd: Bank of Ghana (78.4%)

3rd: Ministry of Local Government, Decentralization, and Rural Development (77.6%)

4th: Ministry of Trade and Industry (77.2%)

5th: Environmental Protection Agency (75.2%)

6th: Food and Drugs Authority (74.8%)

7th: High Courts (74.4%)

8th: Securities and Exchange Commission (74.4%)

9th: Ghana Standards Authority (74.4%)

10th: Ministry of Transport (73.8%)

ACEYE Co-Founder Dr. Richmond Kwesi Ansah presented the report noting key recommendations to heighten accountability including mandatory asset declarations for public officials and annual audits.

He advocated functional websites with regular updates, contact information, and feedback mechanisms to improve service delivery across institutions.

"We hope this will spark meaningful conversations and debates backed by data," Emmanuel Acquah, co-founder and CEO of ACEYE remarked at the presentation of the findings.

Dr. Fred McMahon, a Resident Fellow at the Fraser Institute, and Joyce Lee of the Atlas Network emphasised the economic prosperity and deep innovations of countries which embraced a free market facilitated by democracy, contrasting them with nations that had an autocratic form of governance. They encouraged Ghana’s government to focus improving its performance on the IGIPTEP report, also.
