SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA; WITH OR WITHOUT AID? To what extent is sustainable development still possible in Ghana if they were to become aid free in 2020?
Summary
Ghana has evolved into a lower middle income country in 2011, due to their economic growth and decrease in poverty. Therefore, the Government of Ghana has the aspiration to become aid free in 2020, which has caused the Netherlands to increasingly decrease their development aid to Ghana with the intention to stop it in 2020. However, since international environmental goals have not been achieved in Ghana, the question is raised to what extent sustainable development is still possible if Ghana were to become aid free in 2020?
