Ghana Private Sector Development Alliance (GPSDA) seek to strengthen public procurement by incorporating a robust legal and regulatory framework, procedures, policy instruments and mechanisms for increased capacity, visibility, accountability and public confidence through adoption of technological advances for the effective and efficient management of public resources that will foster economic growth in Ghana.
The GPSDA has many roles: it operates a global system of trade rules, it acts as a forum for negotiating trade agreements, it settles trade disputes between its members and it supports the needs of developing countries.
All major decisions are made by the GPSDA's member governments: either by ministers (who usually meet at least every two years) or by their ambassadors or delegates (who meet regularly in Geneva).
A number of simple, fundamental principles form the foundation of the multilateral trading system.
The primary purpose of the GPSDA is to open trade for the benefit of all.
The GPSDA's top decision-making body is the Ministerial Conference. Below this is the General Council and various other councils and committees.
