Description
Structural Adjustment and Mass Poverty in Ghana examines the impact of World Bank Structural Adjustment Policy (SAP) on Ghana from the early 1980s to the early 1990s. This policy had significant economic and social effects, particularly on vulnerable groups within Ghanaian society.
The book shifts the focus from a primarily economic evaluation of these programmes to consider their broader impact on poverty in general. It asks whether the ordinary Ghanaian has benefited from any wealth creation in Ghana during this period.
Useful for both academic and policy purposes, this volume provides valuable insights into the implementation and effects of SAP in Ghana, making it a useful resource for those interested in understanding the country's economic and social development during this time.
