13 Occupational Health and Safety legislation The Law seeks to ensure that measures are instituted and enforced to attain optimum health for workers in all occupations in Ghana.
14 Sustainable Public Procurement driven by socio-economic considerations GREEN POWER 1. Fuel Switching West African Gas Pipeline to replace Light Crude Oil thermal power plants in Ghana, with NG-fired combined cycle plants, which leads to: Increase in thermal efficiency from about 30-35% 35% to 60-70% Lowering of the unit cost of the energy-mix (hydro and thermal) and improves affordability Substitution of high-carbon intensity LCO with low Carbon fuel (NG). Thus reduces carbon dioxide emissions and contribute climate impact mitigation Further reduces emissions of greenhouse gases (Methane, carbon dioxide, NOx) from flaring activities in the Nigerian gas fields
15 Sustainable Public Procurement Programmes driven by socio-economic considerations Green Power (contd.) 2. Implementation of commercial energy efficiency project in 18 government buildings for replication in other sectors of the economy under the UNFCCC AIJ programme 3. Solar PV power demonstration in the Ministry of Energy for the promotion of green power by the Government for off-grid electrification.
16 Sustainable Public Procurement Programmes driven by socio-economic considerations Green Power (contd) 3. Support for the development of low NOx biodiesel production as fuel switching strategy to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses as CDM project under Kyoto Protocol Promotion of endogenous technologies for biogas generation and technology transfer for biogas capture and use from biological waste streams in public hospitals, schools and abattoirs to address sanitation problems
17 Sustainable Public Procurement Programs driven by socio-economic considerations Investment in leaded fuel phase-out Installation of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) plant for the production of unleaded petrol/gas to meet Ghana s s commitment to organo-metallic lead phase out programme, which improves urban air quality and mitigates health related impacts of vehicular emissions.
18 Sustainable Procurement Policy and Legislation -Emerging Approaches (1) The enactment of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (ACt663) to control procurement of goods, works, and technical services Establishment of the National Public Procurement Board by an Act of Parliament Adoption of a national policy framework for sustainable consumption and production at a national roundtable on SCP, Feb 2005
19 Sustainable Procurement Policy and Legislation -Emerging Approaches (2) Development of a pilot project (UNEP/EPA/NDPC-2005) on SCP, which will also address sustainable public procurement Integration of the SCP project output into the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS) in 2006 Development of Regulations to the Public Procurement Act in progress
