Over the last ten years, the Government of Ghana has shown a firm strategic commitment to attracting export-oriented investments, facilitating trade and enhancing Ghanaian competitiveness. Reforming the processes and procedures used by the nation's Customs, Excise and Preventative Service was a major contributor in working towards these goals. In recognizing the important role played by the private sector in driving economic growth for Ghana, the Government looked to a PPP to help build, own and operate the process of integrating and improving its customs operations. The PPP was regulated and reviewed internally by a board of directors and externally by the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Fortunately, [Adjaye] is much less fatalistic when it comes to his architecture. As the first years of the twenty-first century unfolded, his work seemed to enter a new phase. By his mid-thirties, Adjaye, whose parents come from Ghana, was already one of Britain's most prolific young architects. When he was commissioned to design five public buildings in a three-year period, his media profile skyrocketed, and his projects received critical acclaim. In the course of his work, Adjaye discovered that his romantic principles slightly conflicted with the modernist contexts that he finds himself working in. "I make a serious effort to try to deliver something that has meaning," he said. "But if 1 try to live up to my own ideals I will never succeed, so I figure there's something very beautifu...

In an interview, Jocelyn Wyatt, head of IDEO's social innovation design domain, talked about the power of design to change the world. IDEO began 30 years ago by designing products. However, over time they've applied the approach of human-centered design to services, spaces, businesses and systems. They believe in the power of design thinking to enrich and transform, and to take on big challenges that the world faces, from climate change to education and health care to financial inclusion. They are currently working with Acumen Fund on a water project in India and Kenya. They have developed a social marketing campaign to spread awareness about the importance of drinking safe water and a water delivery business and cart for female micro-entrepreneurs to deliver water in slum communities. ...

On a cocoa farm in Ghana, two chief executives sit on a log talking about their respective business goals. One is the CEO of Cadbury, Todd Stitzer; the other is the UK Director of the Fairtrade Foundation, Harriet Lamb. They are reflecting on the stories of farmers like Benjamin Atiemo in Adjeikrom village, whose children have left the village to seek work in the capital, Accra. Farmer empowerment is now seen as a crucial part of the approach Cadbury wants to take. And that's where Fairtrade comes in. Cadbury's commitment to Fairtrade certification of its flagship brand, Cadbury Dairy Milk, will see the company quadruple the amount of Ghanaian cocoa sold on Fairtrade terms from around 5,000 to 20,000 tonnes.
Although not at the center of the world's economy, developing countries are at its mercy dependent on trade investment and aid; never is this felt more than in times of crisis. A further concern, common among developing countries, is a lack of diversification in export markets. But the impact of the financial crisis isn't limited to export markets; national incomes are threatened on several fronts. Developing countries are being told to prepare for steep declines in aid donations and remittances. Many developing countries are looking toward strategic planning and restructuring of financial systems, to bolster their economies in difficult times. Challenge is the need to balance the governments need for revenue and reducing the cost of doing business. Ghana relies heavily on the EU, the U...

This article describes general budget support as an instrument of development cooperation. Based on poverty reduction strategies, poorer developing countries are increasingly receiving general budget support which enables their governments to carry out their core responsibilities more effectively. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks are discussed in a holistic approach. In view of aid effectiveness and efficiency, the author draws on an evaluation which was carried out in the context of the DAC/OECD in 2006, as well as on experience made in Switzerland's budget support engagement. He argues that the budget support methodology could also inspire the cooperation with non-governmental organisations.

The women of western Africa have been using shea nut butter for centuries to protect their skin from dry Saharan winds. Through innovative enterprise, its now protecting them in other ways, too. A similar program in Mali, supported by ITC, is also demonstrating the potential for export to improve the situation of women in developing countries. Shea butter production is the focus of one of several programs recently implemented by ITC to assist women in Mali in developing their entrepreneurial skills and incomes. ITC is working with the sector development coordination team in Mali to continue to support social and economic development and export growth of the shea butter sector until 2010, through its work in the All ACP Agricultural Commodities Program, funded by the European Union.
