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 Ghanas 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 Ghanas 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.
