Lexington Books, 2008. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Ghana serves as a fascinating case study in this report on its efforts to initiate changes aimed at ensuring a stable and prosperous future. In these 13 articles independent researchers analyze the evolution of poverty in Ghana from 1960 to 2000, the decline of the middle class and rise of geographical divides, and the transition of Ghana from the World Bank's structural adjustment programs to the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility. They detail Ghana's design, implementation, financing and monitoring of poverty programs, including its linking of poverty reduction strategies to national and regional budgets, and the country's approach to decentralization, child poverty, employment generation, informal poverty-fighting activities, gender equality, and environmental sustainability. The result is a model of how such objective reports should be prepared and presented, if only because it is completely honest about successes and failures.
