GHANA AT THE HALF CENTURY

Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER)

University of Ghana
and
Cornell University

International Conference on


July 18-20, 2004
Accra, Ghana


This major conference (see programme) was important in its own right, as the first event to mark Ghana’s 50th independence anniversary in 2007, but also because it served to launch the new Economy of Ghana Network (EGN). The conference brought together researchers and policy makers from inside and outside Ghana, to assess where Ghana has come in its first half century, and present relevant research to influence the policy debates to meet the challenges of Ghana’s future.

SAGA-Ghana commissioned a broad set of papers on Understanding Poverty in Ghana, written primarily by Ghanaian scholars based in Ghana, and these papers were presented at the conference. Plans are underway to publish two volumes of the papers presented at the conference, edited by Professor Ernest Aryeetey of ISSER and Professor Ravi Kanbur of Cornell University:

Analytical Perspectives on the Economy of Ghana. Volume I: Macroeconomics, Trade and Finance

Analytical Perpsectives on the Economy of Ghana. Volume II: Microeconomics and Poverty

Within Ghana, the Economy of Ghana Network will serve the needs previously met by the now moribund Economic Society of Ghana and, equally —for all economists working on Ghana. It will be based at ISSER and will use new technology and web-based links to the fullest. It will produce a journal, published and managed electronically. ISSER has received a thee-year grant from the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) for institutional support for the Network. You can learn more about the EGN at the ISSER website.
