US Mission in Ghana

The U.S. Agency for International Development Ghana is a sub-agency of USAID that administers development and humanitarian assistance programs in Ghana, operating through both federal contracts and grant awards to implement bilateral development initiatives.

USAID Ghana has awarded 239 federal contracts totaling $285.4 million in combined potential value since 2009, with $251.5 million obligated to date. Recent contract activity has declined: the office closed 19 awards in 2021, 17 in 2022, 11 in 2023, 16 in 2024, and 4 year-to-date in 2025. The contract portfolio is highly fragmented on award count, with the top five primes accounting for 53 percent of recent awards but only 13 percent of combined potential value by dollars. Linc LLC leads by potential value at $16.5 million from a single award, followed by DAI Global LLC at $15 million. The majority of the contract base consists of small single or dual awards to foreign and domestic awardees whose individual values fall below seven figures. Nearly all awards carry no set-aside designation; the portfolio includes 237 unrestricted awards and only one 8(a) sole-source award among 89 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio lifetime.

USAID Ghana has obligated $821.3 million in federal grant funding across 39 awards since 2011, with total funding including non-federal cost share reaching $1.09 billion. Grant activity peaked in 2023 with 8 awards and has moderated to 6 in 2024 and the most recent award dated November 2024. The grant recipient base is moderately concentrated on award count, with the top five recipients accounting for 50 percent of recent awards. By federal dollars, the top five recipients account for 24 percent of obligated funding, indicating a long tail of smaller awards. Family Health International leads by federal dollars obligated at $95.8 million from one award, followed by Cooperative For Assistance And Relief Everywhere, Inc. at $40 million. The United Nations World Food Programme, a major implementer in the portfolio, received four awards totaling $27.5 million. Grant awards are predominantly structured as Cooperative Agreements (87 percent) with a smaller share as Project Grants (13 percent), reflecting the collaborative implementation model typical of bilateral development assistance.
