no big deal some present of some contra sense he had a delayed flight for a few hours things happen man got to get that still got all costs right well one may have delayed flight is another man's imperial skyjacking you see the countries of latin america have a common history as being on the bad end of brutal western european imperialism and when the president of a former colony could just be abducted at the will of the you would have a plane search it sure makes you feel like you're still under the lash of foreign control doesn't it to any of you think for a moment that any officials who are so willing to ground morale us would dare to do the same thing air force one i don't think so morale was clearly was treated like some sort of second class president and despite this insult they didn't even catch oden this is what i call a double fail but that's just my opinion. lazy
11:30 am
i'm going to. the job. so that i could money to buy seeds. dies or to manage the money i have for seeds and you can spend it on books. open a school uniform my kids need for school. see if i'm going to be there. so i have no money left to seat on the day no matter how cheap it might be. demoted you know too much money to. run. a community has a borehole that isn't easily accessible by all. the damn dries out during the dry season and there isn't enough water for the animals. that. doesn't do anything about our situation. i mean i could have provided the
11:31 am
community with enough water. i mean they refuse to do anything like that for us. almost every government comes and so we have courts i wrestle what's in our courts and by the to get a modest more fun with that i didn't need to support most in most cases deal who commanded big. bum would do too far for me if i was. you. let her down.
11:32 am
live. this is not what this device was this is an existence proof that somehow we have to look at this to listen to me or to leave after me the only senator democrat to this is how i look up to is this. slow i'm in almost every woman i met. this is this it was worthwhile it did come to light it's dumb but is that is because. markets is good now when you do this and what's a democrat. to tell it and the profits to come back to the have to feed lots of and then we don't have good markets. we apprehended the government to stop
11:33 am
imports in advice from from abroad when to stop and. all right alice now for putting it in that would be like it's one of. the. according to. regulations we come over streets the import of certain items in the country but even then the globalization that we couldn't restricts them petition all these are ghouls off one must consider competitively the one of the area we don't want to access is also that because the government does not subsidize and often wish to do so at a higher costs. so they cannot compete would be important who don't know what caused indy also contras so competition will be on the home front the finest eventually the government must support them through to come also compete
11:34 am
favorably with imported goods. at any. level so we had it with the markets and because governments came out with me that just in program to came from us 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 that this hour look up assessing the i would love this do not much in the here and then that grew up so that it will broil its nicely and processed into the day is to sell for a while. sword emelin yes in all its saw and that is that we will get that wood markets pulled in big government liberal by during summer they gave us and that it
11:35 am
is does the same as what we used in the media. and this was the medieval who should i want to fund that only gets the money rather than to produce you what i want to import what it is cheap so to tell me fermented on top of recognitions of the deal beats you is actually importing negatively or not your courtship in the developing countries stricken on the included.
11:36 am
right this is left tenant jerry join rowlings 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
11:37 am
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. twenty nine percent in two thousand and six. the good news does not stop there. it's. quite how much. renuka spoil. the second opportunity of being given to this congress. goes 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 assume to join the ranks of
11:38 am
africa's oil producers. dependence overall much he also depends on not trying resolves us i'll bet c. does not bring i want to talk formation of economies in spite of the huge glories of the only hot with not being able to watch pain levels so he can only transformation now we we so much on. there's no point to having if you're every getting a cut of education they don't really have an oil you forget the us can do to hospitals and get wood health care they still point in haven't they said yeah oh my this i learned to be dying in large numbers from. trying to have children.
11:39 am
born abroad. gifty is twenty six years old she is one of two nurses working in this clinic. doctor rarely comes here and gifty tries to do whatever she can with what she knows . without covering a publishing of two thousand one hundred eleven forty seven communities that is why that's so attachment. we have one doctor who said the dish it was better before the committee level we don't have the one you mean we said it
11:40 am
subdistrict level and we don't have. mr yakubu who is the government appointed district health director he's informed about the problems he let me just douglas of it to tell you that we have a doctor population issue we have one book that over one hundred sixty one thousand population right one doctor to get a one n one and has the one thousand people of your silly it's not a base i mentioned that for doc there's little also mention that for less it's also interested to know that we have a population of one there's two over. two thousand five hundred population i mean again that's a yawn and obvious no we want one there's kind of similar is going to get of more than two thousand five hundred published this new week adequate a little. so
11:41 am
gifty travels every day from village to village to visit patients and heavily pregnant women who do not have the means to come to the clinic here we have more. so we used a model biased was something i went down i mean we cannot wouldn't want is a commie and these people realize almost if we didn't have a pool. some of the communities one bit dated a boss or did mom a drug lease it dis i notice it is the could be for them to get another car coming to do so initial hop in a difficult labor give up these elaborate time you have to put them on bicycles came i get a woman in labor been put on a bicycle and just threw on did. all sometimes where you can afford it you put up one truck and carried them to the image of the. old me and
11:43 am
11:44 am
feel. that we have very high i'm at the number in this region. and i can tell you where for two weeks into the this year well we're do coordinate that's minute. ninety. three ninety three. now i know that elsewhere one but then of there is a crisis. center my guess is tricia. but one region for two weeks into a year well recorded and that is definitely i suppose. you. want to get.
11:45 am
to me i'd see if there's 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 our taste is down to date we absolutely want so even though one is down them is declares that we didn't up you know when i'll get that service unless we would for a database as an adult something you can just adventure down without taken down by the us and. my god the building is spotty and the building keep on coming down because i didn't really. see what he says and who got included in. the heat is always too
11:46 am
much sure but we can do otherwise for their work to be dead. from the government. all of us for possible want to. know for we did this is only better for the committee this they knew about coming to buy as drinking from a distant world. but of all what quarters to accommodate more stars so that they can improve their health status of the 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
11:47 am
mosquito net program as an example something he recently set up the government of an affidavit the ghana has of his had to wigan at a lengthy list war on malaria from several you know standpoints daily allies that we need to actually fight a vector the vector being the most to the north of us to do and 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 there would to how much and would loose and what rules because there were instances where let me just go there well we don't have been near to a meal and my husband it and is true not that he were a fuse and he just refined it live in
11:48 am
a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus at support from a pattern is to provide not only the bed but also believes and they do is always so don't have the rope so to provide iraq and then hummus they provide hammers and they're recruited their volunteers and paid them allowances to do or around near the bed in the pits sleeping places or 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 what in year i mean to share in the lives of those 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 tell in the numbers does their ease and that's how come you realize that our budget that very much a budget that the government you know chairs out and wildly different are for sure
11:49 am
because you don't anticipate and if i did not. do your numbers of people illegal immigrants who are here and but to spit in 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
11:50 am
i.m.f. policies and the government's reform certainly played their own part in reaching 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. 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 daily for survival . at the same time they are required to repay the successive loans that the
11:51 am
government received from the i.m.f. . 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 that 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 here vetting infrastructure education because the same time the i.m.f. is telling the government that actually you have to cut back on the expenditure
11:52 am
which includes pay for public sector because. right now when you talk about the public sector we are talking about. today very poor communities. but 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 having you. here in seven when people retarded you kind of things it's not like you need to cut. the workforce into public sector immediately.
11:53 am
in july two thousand and nine when. suddenly the. financial markets and the money markets. which is. same thing has happened since. this is so in other words you need this town of the i.m.f. to accept. the international marketplace even if it kills your own people. when 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 reforms new labor forms 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 world i've been taking
11:54 am
place in africa ok we have patients 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 . vulnerability and also exacerbate the inequality that. already exists the way me and the group we. were with we had 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 their children can eat and these i think should be their real indicators of what a middle income on the inside is any child in ghana were to bed hungry. that should
