The GPRS and the MDGs are all aimed at the same goal of creating wealth and reducing poverty The GPRS is the Ghanaian expression in pursuit of achieving the MDGs. In other words it is the programmatic instrument for operationalising MDG.

Food availability, water quality, poor sanitation etc caused by environmental degradation tend to affect maternal health. Connection of MDG 7 to other MDGs Continuous Degradation of natural resources such as food, medicinal plants, fuel wood etc. and land degradation might lead to poverty Source: Authors own construct MDG2: Achieve Universal Basic Education Availability of water and energy sources. Particularly girls spend more hours gather ring water and firewood Burden of environmental health threats MDG 8:Global Partnership For Growth and Devt MDG 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other Diseases Environmental degradation might lead to poor local economic Mishaps, rural-urban migration and overcrowding. These may lead to HIV/AIDS etc. Increase in temp associated with climate change,poor sanitation conducive for vector multiplication

the MDGs establish broad development agenda but they do not in themselves offer plans of action for a particular country to achieve the goals. the GPRS which in a way is the Ghanaian programmatic instrument in pursuit of achieving the MDGs Offers opportunities for integrating the environment into policy making
