they give me a bad everything they said that if they make me a big. headed by members of the. creek still there. well. up next after the break off he takes you to the african state of gonna to look at what's being held as an economic success story. many in latin america are furious with the forced grounding of bolivia's president evo morales is playing in austria and even twelve nations in latin america are coming together to discuss the consequences of the event the plane was forced to

the ground while flying over the e.u. because it was believed that that sneaky snowden was hiding on board trying to get to asylum in bolivia and beyond some might say that this is no big deal so president of some contra since he had a delayed flight for a few hours things happen man busted got to get that still guy at all costs right well one man's 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 his plane searched it sure makes you feel like you're still under the lash of foreign control doesn't it do any of you think for a moment that any e.u. officials who are so willing to ground morality would dare to do the same thing air force one i don't think so morose 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. thank

you. in the beginning of two thousand and thirteen the capital of ghana was named

africa's fastest growing city. proof of this where the dozens of cranes dotting the horizon satisfying the demand for a new modern offices for both local companies and banks and multinationals. expensive cars roaming the streets. shiny moles for filling the consumer dreams of the capital's affluent people. again as economy is thriving. the country is among the world's fastest growing economies and is africa's number

one and growth rates. for the i.m.f. ghana is a success story. successful. the rule of the i.m.f. is really to advise a micro party she's so we we do not we do not construct bridges and develop infrastructure but in term of my quest ability clearly over the last. few years have done quite well in terms of generating an environment of macroeconomic stability which is necessary to have investment and growth and job creation. current economic success could not have been accomplished without the newly received loans the last loan agreement between the i.m.f. was in two thousand and nine for the sum of six hundred two million dollars that

time the country experienced some fiscal slippage is and depletion of its international reserves which was a combination of increased public spending but also. the side effect of the global financial crisis so we had the reduction of reserve of the central bank the increase of the deficit there was a need to. provide some financing. to crises and had to authorities. to make balances. dept exploded to a new record high reaching fourteen point six billion dollars we talk about credit facilities as if. it doesn't have to be paid back but our children and grandchildren will have to pay is that and i think it's almost like selling the family silver. you do kind of did not. find as lead economic management has been

they. and their religion of african lives and. and every so-called group is seen as a success which therefore that process even. one of the fastest growing economies not just in africa but in the world last year was. one of the effects of that is that you so you wouldn't you would think that a of economy is growing it has greater independence space. and resources to invest in the things that it needs to you know its economy and transform the conditions of his people i mean that's it was what any logical thinking would be however in our case that is not what is happening.

around the room. after finishing her chores in the morning comfortable cutty prepares her grandchildren for school she is a primary school teacher at paga a small agricultural community in northeastern ghana. oh and. this is a primary school every tree is

a cost from there are two hundred ninety one children studying here while. i. was there. many of them have to walk at least five kilometers to get here. was there. was. the second largest gold producer in africa cannot provide classrooms to sauza as of children. in ghana four thousand schools have no facilities the lessons like here take place under the trees i. would know how structure. we are teaching under three. and because of that there is no in effect if teaching and leno. especially when ever it is threatening to rain will have to run home

and when did that she's sharing the same problem there wouldn't be the snow or dad not being effective teaching and then in the course of the sun when it is hot that you reckon i'll feel confortable to listen and to check on will also feel comfortable to teach. no toilets no pledged materials. and other infrastructure. to decide it for best raffi seem to school and i'm not a problem as what a problem. we don't have what. so anomalous about three kilometers off or clinton's four put up will drink the water and when it's brought to this who there are no reasonable quentin as for us to. because of what they

did a government will always complain and promise but nothing has been there. one of the i.m.f. conditions to sign the loan agreement of two thousand and nine was a cut in public sector spending ghana's education system has been affected dramatically. well. in order for the government to reach its goals for deficit reduction it decided to cut almost thirty one million euro from the education sector. the building of new classrooms and facilities would have to wait. the government's absence is covered by the community members who raise money in order to build classrooms in any way they can. miss comfort was a leader of this afeard and invested all her savings. really.

i. was more like oh my god i have decided to mobilize the. p.t. to help me with some money to put up a classroom i've used my own money in addition to this current amount that was contributed by the community members to put up one classroom block who was who i was. and now some of the children. lemon and. and the other classes are sitting under trees. yet. so whenever it is raining is even if it is threaten to rain we dismiss the children to. drive his films indeed. and then when it is boring much this no

shit at all we all got that one classroom we can use in lots and i thank you for. the recruitment freeze in the public sector another one of the i.m.f. stipulations for signing the loan agreement had an instant impact on the quality of gammas education system. according to the country's education department in order to cover the teacher shortage alone in primary schools thirty three thousand one hundred eighty five teachers are needed this is something that will never be approved but. you're. here in northern ghana there is one trained teacher like comfort for every one hundred seventy. five students. i know

you look at you you. know and again the inhabitants try to do whatever they can on their own they can teaching positions are covered by parents or volunteers. that. they're not. the only way. we have monitress improvement on the bus and the. yeah video war and they come providing a chilling with nutritionist hurt. when number look on plane. and there is that aggie. that's. a mini. end of fun that i've been saul's for education in. it's not enough to cover all of this they did they disclose that under trees so that the good in some

but redoing for me. or tenants and the owners promised to do it but definitely it come to help us. keep her afloat. thank you very much. i.

least be cool language. programs in documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks bugs the v.o.i.p. interviews intriguing story for you. then trying. to find out more visit are a big dog all teeth dog called. when

i returned home from school i read a little and then go to the river to get water leaking. then i go to the forest to gather wood and then i cook. i have a lot of chores and can't study during the day i usually study at night. i study with a flashlight because the community has no electricity. so it's difficult studying that way. sometimes someone needs a flashlight and i have to wait until they finish. and that makes it difficult for me to study. and so i wish we had electricity so i could study comfortably. in the future i want to

become a useful person. i want to become a nurse. so . citizens of the new state of god are gathered for their celebration marking their day of freedom from colonialism what was once the gold coast a british colony now becomes an independent commonwealth vice president and mrs nixon represent the united states at the three day festivities and native dances and games mark an event of historic importance since god becomes the first big row

column in africa who gave its freedom. in one nine hundred fifty seven ghana gained its independence from the english ever since there has been a love hate relationship with the i.m.f. . from one thousand nine hundred sixty six five governments have received loans power has changed hands many times after so many coups. the first to approach the i.m.f. in one thousand nine hundred sixty five was ghana's first president and independence leader. as a marxist he was quick to reject the funds conditions he was overthrown a year later.

but in many countries the red. player. brandon. the national liberation council government that came to power signed the loan agreement with the i.m.f. and accepted the conditions. the economy made a spectacular rebound and at the same time product prices increased. exports did not yield the expected revenue in one thousand nine hundred one after the fun's recommendation the currency was devalued by forty six point eight percent there was a wage freeze and taxes were increased. a year later general a chump overthrew the government. that governmental

general. unilaterally. decided not to pick the debts that's gonna government to the i.m.f. it was a little over one thousand million dollars and. the general at the point took the position that it was something we couldn't be. and we pushed for self-reliance and that was the message that he was giving to ghana and i think he made an impact unfortunately the price of oil hikes soon after that pushed doesn't back into economic decline and we ended up going back to the i.m.f. for a loan that was after the coup that through a chump amount and it's an interesting paradigm that seems to be.

an almost on holy link to good a time as. an economic downturn and then a falling back on the i.m.f. as almost a c.v.s. . drop africa and the one thousand nine hundred ninety eight if you want you we had what you call i.m.f. rats which is the price of food going up as well as before and that kind of is the ability yes it has to be the backdrop to a lot of the good it doesn't seem that affected many more reasons of course by the critical reason has been that the how to secure a growth model which you know if unifies the my joy section of the ruling class

number one. which which reduces deflates the political expectation of the population number two. is also to tell people that your political expectations about what you can get on a realistic you can get free education you can get public housing you can get a good patient from the public sector you have to go out and fight for yourself. and if you look at our history. that the stratagems has been the scene it's about. devaluing the cd it's about. fiscal. restrictions it's about restricting the government's wage bill it's about privatization or. investing in government factories these are the same things that they do time and again and i do wonder.

whether if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and the country doesn't move out of poverty if there isn't a need to rethink what you do well let me maybe quantify what we said in clarify. actually over the last decade what we have seen in africa and ships are in africa. is extremely encouraging in terms of microcosmic policies we can say that over the last decade michael polley she's in most of sub-saharan africa has improved. substantially with an emphasis on my quest to bt and on generating what we could but for us.

i grew culture is one of ghana's most productive sectors. here in the north however it is the only way to survive. glenn doesn't give much. and we use the same old varieties our grandfathers did on. them they don't really give a good harvest. women who brought you with only so many jewels come to help us. number but no government official has ever come to visit us. yeah.

only the n.g.o.s teach us how to improve how to improve our methods. one doesn't come to teach us. the ministry of agriculture used to provide us with fertilizers but now they have stopped. moving well now they never visit us like they used to. people really i don't understand why the government isn't helping us. with the.

well the food sufficiency has its ups and downs. there are times of abundance and times when there isn't enough food for the community. to have the periods of hunger along that is when the food prices hit the roof. that is one mil it costs ten cd for euro this is a time of great hunger. the government cutbacks would mean for example in the case of a culture that all kinds of subsidies are essential extension services they all come and all those things affect everything becomes a market price a small form

a kind of buy those things they can produce as well so most of the farm is actually really. lived in the farmers some of the not able to keep the food have to didn't school because in the big reveal shop or the feed into extra support and so they have waste and then to support their children in that occasion. when the grates spade blind to what is happening in their country. the american dream is disappearing. the houses with gardens are laid. the poor are left hopeless the streets are full of angry crowns fighting against. who stole the american dream.
