"This short report, which will be updated as events warrant, provides background information on current developments in Ghana and U.S. bilateral relations with Ghana. Introduction. In mid-February 2008, President and Mrs. Bush are slated to travel to five African countries, including the West African country of Ghana, which in 2006 signed a $547 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Compact. They are to "review firsthand" U.S. AIDS and healthcare assistance and to "discuss how the United States can continue to partner with African countries to support continued democratic reform, respect for human rights, free trade, open investment regimes, and economic opportunity" in Africa.1 The Bushes are visiting Ghana, in part, because it is widely seen as a key U.S. partner and as an African "success story."
