Ghana has emerged as one of the best-known examples of progress in the developing world in general
and sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Over the past twenty years, Ghana has made sustained political,
economic and social progress. Ghana today is a functioning, multi-ethnic democracy that has also made
remarkable progress in human development, especially in terms of health and education.
Ghana stands out for its achievements in education and health in recent years. It is only a handful of non-
OECD countries that provides universal health insurance and is showing stand-out improvements in child
health in particular (ODI, 2015). However, inequalities in access to basic services still exist due to
inadequate targeting and the poor still need safety nets through appropriate affirmative actions to achieve
decent lives.

Since the 1980’s, Ghana has made impressive progress on poverty reduction. According to the Multi
Poverty Index, Ghana has witnessed one of the most significant reductions in multi-dimensional poverty
in the past 10 years, with an annual reduction of 3.4 percentage points between 2003 and 2008. At the
national level, poverty fell from 52% in 1991 to 29% in 2006. There was also an impressive decline in
poverty in rural areas, falling from nearly 65% in 1991 to 39% in 2006. Again, the Ghana Living
Standards Survey (GLSS6, 2016) revealed a national poverty level of 22% in 2014. While this reduction
is unquestionably connected to broader process of economic development in recent decades, much of the
improvement occurred in rural areas and can be attributed more specifically to progress made in
agriculture.

In 2007, the world crossed the urbanization divide with 50% of its population living in urban areas. The
increase in urbanization has left in its wake massive challenges such as high levels of poverty, poor
environmental sanitation, poor housing, over-crowding and weak local economic development. This
phenomenon is very much a feature of Inner City and Zongo communities in Ghana. Meanwhile, the
Zongo communities both present opportunities such as affordable rents and serve as sanctuary
communities for people who want to build their future in the city.

While Ghana has made tremendous progress across multiple dimensions of well-being for its citizens over
the past 20 years, a large portion of the population still remains unserved and with the rising incidence of
inequality and poverty, especially in Zongo communities, Ghana risks becoming a target for terrorist
attacks.
