	Ghana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ghana, officially the Republic of Ghana, is a country in West Africa.
		It borders the Ivory Coast to the west, Burkina Faso in the north and Togo to the east.
		Ghana has 12,630 primary schools, 5,450 junior secondary schools, 503 senior secondary schools, 21 training colleges, 18 technical institutions, two diploma-awarding institutions and five universities serving a population of 18 million; this means that most Ghanaians have relatively easy access to good education.

	WHO \| Preventive campaign against yellow fever launched in 10 high risk districts in Ghana
		Ghana recently launched a preventive campaign against yellow fever in 10 high risk districts of the country.
		Vaccines have been received which are enough for 10 districts so further prioritization was made to implement the preventive campaign for the moment, while appeal for the vaccine to cater for the 16 others targeted for the campaign is being awaited.
		Ghana lies in the yellow fever zone where occasionally outbreaks of yellow fever have occurred.

	Population Council \| Africa \| Ghana \| Innovative Strategies for Bridging Health Inequality Gaps
		All districts in Ghana are now organizing health service delivery using this strategy whilst countries within the West Africa sub-region have taken steps towards replicating the Navrongo health service delivery innovation.
		In rural Ghana, where traditions of chieftaincy, lineage, and consensus-building remain vibrant, outreach to key male leaders and mobilization of their networks can put men at ease about family planning, and can ultimately determine whether or not women can exercise their reproductive preferences.
		In 1998, fertility declined markedly in all areas of the district including the comparison area, but the determinants of this change were dominated by abstinence and delayed marriage rather than by increased contraceptive prevalence.

		Decentralisation in Ghana 3.1 Decentralised local government Ghana provides a useful case-study of the potential of decentralisation in realising rights, given that decentralisation is relatively well established and that the principle of popular participation is clearly stated in constitutional and other legal provisions.
		In particular the District Assembly is “responsible for the overall development of the district” and required to formulate and implement a medium term development plan (usually five years) and budget, both subject to approval by central government [Article 10 (3)].
		Within each district, four communities were chosen on the basis of relative deprivation, with one community selected from the four categories of ‘most developed’, ‘developed’, ‘deprived’ and ‘most deprived’. The two district capitals comprised the ‘most developed’ category, both small towns with a population of less than 10,000.

	Integrated Coastal Zone Management Strategy for Ghana
		While the districts of Ghana's coastal zone represent only about 6.5% of the land area of the country, they are home to 25% of the nation's total population..
		In Ghana's coastal zone, it is likely that both the absolute and relative poverty levels are contributing to the degradation of the coastal ecosystem and in turn, are exacerbated by the marine and coastal degradation.
		The Volta delta, the urban and peri-urban areas around Accra, the urbanized areas around Cape Coast and the westernmost districts of the Western region are all high-priority districts.

	Ghana
		Ghana is a constitutional republic with a strong presidency and a unicameral 200-seat Parliament; multiparty elections have been held every 4 years since the country returned to constitutional rule in 1992.

	USAID: Ghana
		The destructive legacy of dysfunctional statist economic policies of the immediate post-independence period continues to be felt in the form of high inflation and unemployment, excessive and counterproductive regulation, an oversized, inefficient public sector, and a banking sector handicapped by high interest rates and large numbers of non-performing loans.
		The U.S. Mission's goal in Ghana is to support the consolidation of Ghana's democratic institutions and contribute to the development of a healthy civil society, while promoting respect for human rights and rule of law.
		In Ghana where the majority party dominates the political scene through a strong executive branch and their overwhelming majority in Parliament, minority party members introduce these motions as a means to debate important issues, raise public awareness, and improve transparency and increase executive branch accountability.

		A survey conducted by the Ghana Statistical Service in 1998 suggests that only around 43.8 per cent of those who were ill had consulted a medical practitioner.
		Provision of health care has in recent years been based on a pay-as-you-go system known as "cash and carry": the Government meets around 80 per cent of the fees for public healthcare, and the remainder is paid by the end user at the time of use.
		The Global Social Trust funding will help the Government of Ghana establish a means of targeting the poor for support, and will provide key information on numbers involved and utilization of health services to help the development of long-term planning and sustainable financing of the new national health insurance system.

		While the Kassena-Nankana district is located in the dry savannah agro-ecological zone, the Ejura-Sekyedumase district on the other hand is located in the derived savannah agro-ecological zone, and this has implications for fertility.
		The main objective of this paper is to ascertain using cohort analysis and the district level as the unit of analysis, whether there have been changes in fertility amongst females aged 20-29 and 40-49 in two distinctive districts in Ghana.
