Ghana first received Peace Corps assistance in 1961 (the first country in the world to receive volunteers) and since then volunteer strength has fluctuated from between 185 to 415 (presently 179). Secondary education has been the major thrust in programing until recently when Peace Corps/Ghana (PC/G) shifted its emphases to agriculture and rural development. As part of ACTION's annual evaluation process, PC/G program was evaluated during the spring of 1976. A combined method of field and onsite visits was the principal approach used in assessing the relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency of the program. A combination of interview, observation, and data analysis techniques were employed. The basic conclusion of the evaluation team is that while PC/G has made a significant contribution to the education sector of the country, it is now going through a period of transition which is influencing the effectiveness of the tools it uses to carry out its policies. Positive influences are seen coming from recent additions to the staff. Negative influences on the organizational tools are seen coming from the recent shift in policy from slot-filling to technology transfer programing that is implicit in the shift from secondary education to agricultural and rural development. The evaluation identified problems and made resultant recommendations for their solutions: (1) Exercise continued Peace Corps' presence in Ghana in accordance with current Country management plans, i.e., exercise a policy of gradual phase-down in agriculture and rural development, (2) shift programing from a slot-filling mode to a skill transfer mode, (3) continue to exercise a policy of collaboration with the international donor agencies, but at the same time explore the absorptive capacities of the host country in ways which are not dependent on the donor agencies, and (4) Peace Corps/Ghana should clarify its programing procedures with U.S. Embassy.
