Audit finds Canada’s $135 million Ghana farm aid program fell short after motorbikes ran out of gas

A federal audit has concluded that Canada’s $135 million agricultural aid program in Ghana suffered from poor oversight and planning after thousands of taxpayer-funded motorbikes were delivered without adequate funding for fuel, maintenance or replacement parts.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the evaluation, obtained through Access to Information, found Global Affairs Canada failed to properly oversee the program, resulting in equipment that many agricultural extension workers could not afford to operate.
