The potential benefits from a more inclusive, sustainable and productive Ghanaian mining sector, with ASM fully integrated, are staggering. Approximately 1.1 million Ghanaians directly participate in ASM, while a further 4.4 million are considered to be dependent on ASM.

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect all 10 regions of Ghana, with an estimated 25 million Ghanaians at risk of contracting one or more NTDs. NTDs are debilitating and disproportionately affect the poor and vulnerable.

In 2020, the annual licence fee for an average trawler of 200 gross registered tonnes was around US$ 30,000, nearly four times less than in Guinea, where a foreign trawler of this size would pay around US$ 119,000 per year. Meanwhile, a single, state-owned Chinese company with trawl operations in Ghana reported an operating revenue of around US$ 164.5 million in 2019, also receiving subsidies for its overseas fishing operations of around US$3.0 million in the same year.

Fines given out for illegal fishing and other offenses are also much too low, the report found. Not only has this resulted in unrealised revenue of around US$12 million in 2015 and US$17 million in 2018, it is failing to deter such offences, the report says.

AMBASSADOR DANILOVICH: Thank you. Your Excellency, President Kufuor, Madame Secretary, Ambassador Tobias, MCC board member Ken Hackett, Secretary Chao, Secretary Jackson, Mayor Williams, Ambassadors and distinguished guests, I'm delighted to welcome you here today to witness the signing of the Compact between Ghana and the Millennium Challenge Corporation. I'd like to extend a special and warm welcome to the delegation from Ghana. President Kufuor, thank you for your outstanding leadership and instrumental role in bringing us to this important milestone in the relationship between our two countries. 


Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, 690 million people did not get enough to eat. The pandemic may add 265 million people to that number. A set of coordinated studies in several low-income countries found 25% to over 50% of respondents reported cutting back on food or skipping meals.

For children experiencing hunger, school feeding programmes have long been critical safety nets. They are a scalable and effective way to keep kids in school and free up family finances for other things. Research shows school meals improve nutrition and learning, especially for vulnerable groups such as girls and the poorest, or children in conflict. But most schools globally have been closed at least some of the time during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 265 million children are missing out on their daily school lunches. Our research shows this may have impacts even after the current crisis is over.

Before COVID-19 hit, Ghana shared many of the food security challenges of other countries in the region: 2.5 million Ghanaians, especially in rural areas, are severely food insecure. One preschool child out of five is chronically malnourished, a condition related to long-term health and economic impairments.

COVID-19 has likely worsened this situation: more than 40% of Ghanaians responding to a recent survey say they have had to limit portion sizes at meal times or reduce the number of meals since February 2020. Households with school-age children are more likely than those without children to report being unable to buy the usual amount of food because household income has dropped.

Our study over several years found that even reporting food insecurity in one survey round but not in the others was associated with poorer child development outcomes. Our findings suggest urgent action is needed to make sure people have enough food during the current global pandemic. Not only are livelihoods at risk, but millions are facing hunger.

More than 2.4 million people in Ghana are estimated to be living with various mental health conditions, 98% of them still lacking access to medication and to qualified service providers. The inadequacy of treatment, together with the associated stigma, means people like Adom often turn to spiritual healers, or shy away from any help whatsoever.

The study interviewed 67,140 household heads across 4,476 sample points or Enumeration Areas (EAs) from the 260 districts. Per the 2020 CFSVA, food insecurity in Ghana stands at 11.7 percent, implying a food insecure population of 3.6 million people.

A positive impact of growing emigration is the dramatic increase

in official remittance flows to Ghana. The Bank of Ghana estimates

that remittances increased from USD 476 million in 1999 to USD 1.9

billion in 2008. However, the economic crisis has taken its

toll with the Bank reporting a 7.3 per cent decrease in remittances

in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in

2008.

Nevertheless, the report recommends the need to create and

maintain links with a diaspora estimated to range from anywhere

between 1.5 million to 3 million Ghanaians in order to tap into

their potential and to benefit from skills transfer, investment

opportunities and remittances.

Other migration trends identified by the IOM profile, which is

funded by the European Union, the Belgian Development Cooperation

and the Swiss Federal Office for Migration, includes the growing

incidence of return or circular migration. Of the more than 1.1

million Ghanaians who left the country between 2000-2007, only

153,000 did not return either temporarily or permanently.

About 420,000 more sub-Saharan African migrants lived in Europe in 2017 (4.15 million) than in 2010 (3.73 million). And an estimated 1.55 million sub-Saharan African migrants lived in the U.S in 2017, an increase of about a 325,000 from 2010, when an estimated 1.22 million sub-Saharan African migrants lived in the country, according to the United Nations. These populations are also sometimes referred to as migrant stocks. They constitute the balance of increases and decreases in the total accumulated population of sub-Saharan migrants for a specified time period.

Inflows, by contrast, in this report refer to the annual migration of people born in sub-Saharan Africa to Europe and the United States. Inflows can boost the total migrant stock if inflows to a region or country exceed the combined effects of deaths, outflows and return migration to countries of origin. As a result, in some instances, differences in migrant stocks between two time points can be lower than inflows.

Political instability and conflict are other factors pushing sub-Saharan Africans to move. For example, the number of sub-Saharans displaced within their own country nearly doubled to 9 million between 2010 and 2016, according to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates. Also, the total number of refugees from sub-Saharan countries living in other sub-Saharan countries grew about 2.3 million in the same period. At the same time, reports indicate that anywhere between 400,000 and a million sub-Saharan Africans are in Libya; some of them have been sold as slaves or are being held in jail-like facilities.

Will all those with plans to migrate in fact leave their home countries in the next five years? If recent history is a guide, the answer would most likely be no. But data from official sources suggest that this will not be for lack of effort.

Higher shares of adults in Senegal and South Africa say they have friends or relatives they stay in touch with regularly in Europe than say this about friends or relatives in the U.S. Meanwhile, in Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania, people have friends or relatives they stay in touch with in Europe and the U.S. at about the same rate. In Kenya, a higher share of people have contacts in the United States.

The deportation of West African migrants from Nigeria occurred following a January 1983 executive order from President Shehu Shagari, which forced illegal aliens to leave the country or face arrest. As a result of Shagari's order, over two million migrants were deported, including one million Ghanaian nationals.[1]

A type of cheap matted woven nylon zipped tote bags, used by the migrants to move their belongings, got the moniker "Ghana Must Go" during the migration. As of 2019[update], the bag is still commonly referred to with this name in most parts of Nigeria, Ghana, and certain parts of West Africa.[6][7] In 2020, New York-based Nigerian photographer Obinna Obioma used the bags to fashion clothing and other items in an exhibition on migration titled Anyi N'Aga ("We Are Going" in Igbo).[8]

Applying global estimates of the prevalence of mental disorders suggests that about 2.4 million Ghanaians have some form of psychiatric distress. Despite the facts that relatively little community-based treatment is available (only 18 psychiatrists are known to actively practice in Ghana), and that mental disorders are more concentrated among the incarcerated, there is no known research on mental disorders in Ghana prisons, and no forensic mental health services available to those who suffer from them. This study sought to determine the rate of mental distress among prisoners in Ghana.

According to the Kessler Scale, more than half of all respondents had moderate to severe mental distress in the four weeks preceding their interviews. Nearly 70% of inmates with only a primary education had moderate to severe mental distress. Though this was higher than the rates among inmates with more education, it exceeded the rates for those with no education.

The high rate of moderate to severe mental distress among the inmates in this exploratory study should serve as baseline for further studies into mental disorders among the incarcerated persons in Ghana. Future research should use larger samples, include more prison facilities, and incorporate tools that can identify specific mental disorders.

In addition to the people in mental health institutions and those accessing the prayer camps for mental health care, there are a growing number of people in Ghana in the criminal justice system who are believed to be suffering from many forms of mental disorders [4]. Since there is little or no pressure to address this problem among the general Ghanaian population, those with mental distress who are incarcerated have little recourse. e24fc04721
