10:43 am
10:44 am
10:45 am
ninety. three. now i know that elsewhere one might then there is a crisis. but one region for two weeks into a year reported. that it's definitely possible that. you may want to get. to me i tell you this money dish you invest much on the whole site because if you are not healthy i don't think our communities will be default. if our taste is down today we have only one so even though one is down them is
10:46 am
declares that we didn't appear will get that service unless we wait for them to base and that will sometime guide us attention down without taken down by the us and. the border is spotty and the building keep on coming down it's only because of the really. cool you see when he says a bouquet and that is in. the heat is always too much sure but we can do otherwise would they vote because he actually did. it from the government. all us for possible what. more for we did this is only better for the community this they knew about community by as drinking from a distant world. but of all what quarters to accommodate more staff so that they
10:47 am
can improve their health status of people. in. this growth reflected by the economic indicators does not seem to reach the public clinics of northern gala. the district director says that the government is doing its best and gives the free mosquito net program as an example something he recently set up the government of an affidavit the ghana has of his children how do we get lentulus war on malaria from several you know standpoints daily allies that we need to actually fight the vector of the vector being the most to the north of mosquito i saw recently and
10:48 am
just as recent as two we said. the government of ghana forever going to house of his son in bed with. fifty percent of the population were given you know this hand and yes they can place recruiter volunteers who went into every house and they would there how much and would loose and what rules because there were instances where let me just go there well we don't have a near to meal and my husband it and just drew not that he were a fuse and he just refined and live in a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus at support from out a pattern is to provide not only the bed but also did lives and they do is always so don't have the rope so to provide iraq and then her base they provide hummus and they're recruited they're volunteers and paid them a lower sister who are around near the bed in the pits who competes with people.
10:49 am
the district health director blames foreigners for the health systems poor condition. he claims that the fault lies with immigrants who have no papers and enter northern ghana from neighboring countries i love people who are in year i miss sharing the little things that we have you know i yet we are not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce and so do i call in the numbers does their ease and that's how come you realize that our budgets that don't matter bad that the government you know chairs out and really were definitely for sure because they don't anticipate and if i did not know the real numbers of people illegal immigrants who are here and but to speak them in our you know look at things that are provided for in a national sword that also is a problem. in
10:50 am
two thousand and eleven ghana's economy growth rate reached fourteen point four percent. using the profits from gold oil as its driving force ghana became at least on paper a middle income country. and is the ninth country in africa to reach this position. the i.m.f. policies and the government's reform certainly played their own part in reaching this level. we have a growth in mining in all sectors we have. checked or but most importantly we have growth in the service industry you know. and so there is a diversification of economic growth. however
10:51 am
as the economy grew so did social disparities. the benefits of growth have not been felt by the majority of the population who are left to struggle daily for survival . at the same time they are required to repay the successive loans that the government received from the i.m.f. . prosperity is only achieved by a small elite that lives lavishly in the capital's good neighborhoods. and barbed wire. according to
10:52 am
a two thousand and twelve gallup poll fifty three percent of ghana or about twelve point seven million people cannot afford the cost of food only four percent stated that they are able to live on their income. it's it's clear that you know economy growth does not necessarily translate into poverty reduction and to reduce poverty we need to have. the authority as he was asking infrastructure education because the same time the i.m.f. is telling the government that actually you have to expenditure which includes pay for public sector and. now when you talk about the public sector. today very poor communities. when the government is spending too much it is crowding out the private sector taking away from detector skilled people who prefer to work for the government or
10:53 am
not the private sector but also the spending and the boring of the government crowding out capital that could be directed to the private sector so the reform will not happen overnight it's a long term process and probably true you know not hiring new. seven when people retarded you kind of things it's not like you need to cut the workforce into public sector immediately. suddenly the. financial markets and the money markets. which is. same thing. so in other words you need this of the i.m.f. to be. the international marketplace even if it kills your own people.
10:54 am
and already the betting is on the poor is not on them and they will be more and more and they have even less of a basis to stand up on their own find employment survive on their own because of the global rhythms that we've got backing them. will release a report which says that economic reform in africa is actually accelerating eighty percent of all reforms to the global crisis two thousand and five two thousand and eight eighty percent of all. in the what i mean taking place in africa ok we have patience which i speak. people are looking at the example of what happened in greece and what you know we have we have all those things those elements which we even intensify the process of. the process of shock to the vulnerability and also exacerbate the inequality that. already exists the way me in the group we. we had
10:55 am
and when we don't grow we had to. because still in our communities women are going hungry in the lead season women lost in east and when it gets really bad they meet once every day once every two days so that the children can eat and these i think should be their real indicators of what a middle income in is any child in ghana going to bed hungry. that should be. any woman dying in childbirth. that should be an indicator of how women able to access the health services the education services their credit facilities them. markets that should be the real indicator of what goofy's.
