Capacity building for Ghana’s economic development: prospects and challenges

Capacity building for Ghana’s economic development: prospects and challenges


UNU-WIDER and the University of Ghana will organize a policy workshop titled ‘Capacity building for Ghana’s economic development: prospects and challenges’ on 17 March 2016 in Accra. The event will bring together graduate students, decision-makers, and institutions within the international community to discuss the need for policy relevant academic research in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa.

Currently, the University of Ghana and UNU-WIDER offer a joint PhD programme in Development Economics. The PhD programme endeavors to educate future experts in the field of development economics with the analytical tools necessary for analyzing the economic dimensions of development issues and policies.

The event seeks to facilitate the dialogue between the academia, the graduate students, and the policy-makers in order to identify the potential and benefits of using research in policy-making.
