run. a community has a bore hole that isn't easily accessible by all. the damn dries out during the dry season and there isn't enough water for the animals. the government doesn't do anything about our situation when that's done and i mean i could have provided the community with enough water. i mean they refuse to do anything like that for us. almost every government comes and so we are. watching our courtship by the to get on modest more fun with the. need to support most in most cases deal who can lead to big to be made it bum would go too far for me. if. you.
12:32 am
let her down. live. this is now what this is as close as an existence proof somehow we have to look at the sleeplessness that family had to leave after i mean the only senator that mother left this is how i look up or is this. slim in almost every woman i met.
12:33 am
this is this it was worthwhile it did come to light it's dumb but is this is because. markets is good now when you do this and lots of them build markets to sell it and the profits to come back to the have to feed lots of it and then we don't have good markets. we apprehended the government to stop imports and advice from from abroad when to stop and. unless alice now for putting it in that would look it's what. according to. regulations we come over streets the imports of certain items in the country but even then the globalization that we couldn't restricts them petition all these are goose foremost concert competently the one of the area we don't get
12:34 am
access is also that because the government does not subsidize and often wish to do so at the highest costs. so they cannot compete would be important who don't put up the lower cost in the also contras so competition will be on the home front the eventually the government must support them through to come also compete favorably with imported goods. at and. last year we had it with the markets and because governments came out with me that i just didn't program they came from s. it is to look at two schools and then distance why do you think that the government will buy your program that we don't know is because of their distant look up
12:35 am

from. the. right this is left tenant jerry join rawlings who had just overthrown his government. a government he had appointed a few years back after a coup d'etat. i the poor economy was again one of the reasons for the coup.

in one thousand nine hundred eighty three j.j. rawlings asked for help from the i.m.f. which returned to ghana after eleven years of absence and has remained until today . in the following decades the economy thrived the annual average growth rate lies at five percent unemployment has declined and so has poverty which reached fifty one percent in one thousand nine hundred two dropping to twenty nine percent in two thousand and six. and the good news does not stop there. it's. quite how much oil is out there. we look at that point all. the second approach and if you've been given some discomfort. goes
12:38 am
back in the night two thousand and seven that news reports show that gone it made a world class oil discovery the true scope of the size of the field wasn't exactly down on but it was clear from that moment on that gonna seem to join the ranks of africa's oil producers. the dependence overall much here also depends on not chary softness does not bring i want to talk formation of economies in spite of the huge glories of the only hot we've not been able to watch in the never so he can only transformation now we we so much on. there's no point to have an if your every getting kind of education they don't want to have an you forget me ask them to go to hospitals and get good health care there's no point in having. yo y. this island to be dying in large numbers from. trying to have children.

12:42 am
in a difficult labor leave out these elaborate time you have to put them on bicycles. a woman in labor being put on a bicycle and just threw on the floor would all sometimes where you can afford it you put it on trucks and carry them to the next level. and you can. eat. in jack and not a significant amount of small arms into these already extremely volatile region of the porous borders. what kind of a placation could it have not only for syria but also for the rest of the region it's a power game i mean if the opposition gets more weapons which can really strategically hurt the government it could change to the equation

12:46 am
to me i'd save this money to shew invest much on the whole site because if you are not healthy i don't think our communities will be default. if i will be there to see is down today we are fully working so even though one is down them is declares that we didn't up you know when i'll get that service unless we wait for them to base and not out something you can just attend to down without taken down by the us and. the border is spotty and the building keep on coming down it's only because we're doing yeah well you see what he says we got into disease. it's the heat is always too much sure we can do at our waste or they brought us here today.
12:47 am
from the government. all of us for possible want to. know for we did this is only before the committee this to me about coming to buy as drinking from a distant world. butterball what. there is to accommodate more stuff so that they can improve their health service older people. with. this grow. reflected by the economic indicators does not seem to reach the public clinics of northern ghana. 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
12:48 am
an affidavit the ghana has of his daughter had to wigan at lentulus war on malaria from several you know some points nearly allies that we need to actually find a victim of after being the most to die nothing to do i saw recently in fact just as recent as two we said will the government of ghana but i want to get a 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 meal to meal and my husband it and just drew not that they were refused and he just refined and live in a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus i don't support from out apartness to provide not only the bed but also be near us and they do
12:49 am
isn't what is owed on how the roof so to provide iraq and then her base they provided hammers and they're recruited they're volunteers and paid them a lower sister who are around near the bed in the place sleeping peaceful people. 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 and yet they are not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce and so do i do a little numbers does that raise and that's how come you realize that our budget that very much a budget that the government you know chairs out and wiley were definitely for sure because they don't anticipate and if i did not know the real numbers of people
12:50 am
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 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
12:51 am
this level. we have growth in mining in all sectors we have. checked or but most importantly we have growth in the service industry you know. tories and so there is a diversification of economic growth. however 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 day for survival. at the same time they are required to repay the success of loans that the government received from the i.m.f. .
12:52 am
prosperity is only achieved by a small elite that lives lavishly in the capital's good neighborhood. behind fences and barbed wire. according to 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 they are able to live on their income. it's it's clear that you know economic growth does not necessarily translate into poverty reduction and to reduce poverty we need to have. the authorities he was asking infrastructure education the same time the i.m.f. is telling the government that actually you have to cut back on the expenditure which includes pay for public sector and. now when you talk about the public sector
12:53 am
. to the very poor communities. this is. 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 another 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. series seven when people are retarded you kind of things it's not like you need to cut the workforce into public sector immediately. two thousand and. suddenly the.
12:54 am
financial markets and the money markets. which is. same thing has happened since. so in other words you need. to international market place even if it kills people. when already the betting is on the ball is not on them and they will be more open and they have even less of a basis to stand up on their own. 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 in. two thousand and five two thousand and eight to two percent of all. in the what i mean taking place in africa ok we have patience which
12:55 am
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. vulnerability and also exacerbate the inequality that. already exists always mean we grow we. we when we don't grow we have 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 learn and these i think should be their real indicators of what a middle income inst 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
12:56 am
able to access the health services the educational services the credit facilities the. markets that should be the real indicator of what goofy's.
