Cardno International Development (Cardno ID) brings 30+ years of experience working in Ghana. We have implemented more than 50 development projects in-country for donors including USAID, MCC, FCDO, UN, EU, DFAT, World Bank, and private sector clients.

In this role, we provide professional services for fiscal management, budgeting, financial management, internal controls, accounting, cash disbursements, financial reporting, and account reconciliation to ensure the proper, efficient, effective, and transparent use of funds.

The Activity is also intended to strengthen district assembly and civil society oversight of district financial operations and responsiveness, as well as geo-spatial planning systems for revenue generation in 10 districts in Northern Ghana.
