  • A Preface Foreword by Presidential Candidate
    A PREFACE FOREWORD BY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, PROF. JOHN ATTA MILLS For eight years between 1992 and 2000, the NDC did its utmost best to reconstruct the nation’s foundation and build on such a foundation. The opportunity beckons once again for the NDC to seize the moment that a certain victory in this year’s election will bring to our great party to put Ghana back on its reconstructive path and work towards building a Better Ghana. “A Better Ghana” because the current rulers have failed us miserably. In the areas of the economy, employment, the environment, health, education, the utilities – you name it – failure is the best mark that can be given to the NPP Government. Allowing the market forces free and unrestrained reign to give direction to our development agenda has failed to give employment to willing workers, leaving a nation grappling with a large section of its population very despondent. Life under the NPP Government is demanding from the unemployed and the wage-earner the surrender of their hard-won standards of living. It is restricting and abandoning those social services which are essential features of a democratic society. Those currently in charge of managing the affairs of state have certainly not done a good job of it in spite of their claims that the economy is on track. The facts and figures paint a very bleak picture of an economy that is not on track. A recent WHO Report ranked Ghana as the second filthiest nation in West Africa and the fourth filthiest in Africa – failure After the NDC Government had virtually eradicated the guinea worm disease by the end of 2000, Ghana is currently ranking second behind war-torn Sudan in terms of guinea worm infestation – failure.

  • Draft Terms of Reference
    GHANA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (GNPC) NATURAL GAS TRANSPORTATION AND PROCESSING PROJECT (NGTPP) RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK (RPF) TERMS OF REFERENCE 1.0 Introduction and Background The Government of Ghana (GoG) has acquired a credit facility from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) for a Gas Infrastructure Development project known as the Natural Gas Transportation and Processing Project (NGTPP) related to the discovery and processing of gas from the Jubilee and Tano fields. This project aims at bringing natural gas from the Jubilee and shallow water Tano fields and future discoveries for processing and further distribution to the Effasu Power Barge, the Takoradi Thermal Plant and to other interested parties including export. The project has triggered the World Bank’s safeguards policy on Involuntary Resettlement, O.P 4.12. This implies that this project is likely to have social impacts on land access, restriction of access to assets, displacement and loss of livelihood among others. Preliminary studies and assessment recognize the positive social and economic impact that the project can generate. These assessments also highlight the potential negative social impacts and therefore the need for mitigation measures. As part of the World Bank requirement for safeguards to ensure that the project either avoids completely negative impacts or minimize such impacts, the project will have to prepare a Resettlement Policy Framework. The Government of Ghana through its implementation agency, the Ghana National Petroleum Agency (GNPC) intends to use part of the credit for the development of the required Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF). This Terms of Reference (ToR) is developed to guide the preparation of the RPF.

  • Youth and Oil & Gas : Governance in Ghana
    YOUTH AND OIL & GAS GOVERNANCE IN GHANA - Nationwide Survey Admittedly, the discovery of oil in itself does not automatically translate into development. Instead, it is the strategies, the economic framework and policy decisions of the government which create the environment for investment. Such decisions should be guided by empirical research. Since the announce- ment about Ghana’s oil find, there has been much literature on the oil discovery and its impact on the economy. However, it is difficult to assume the views of young people who are beneficiaries or victims of the decisions being made today. This nation-wide study sought to provide a major source of credible informa- YOUTH AND OIL & GAS tion to policy-makers on the views and expectations of young people in order to shape policies and programmes to make them responsive to their needs. GOVERNANCE IN GHANA Further, the study sought to measure the expectations of young people on the oil and gas sector, their level of appreciation of the oil and gas issues, their level Nationwide Survey of participation in the decision-making processes and how they would process their grievances. Again, the study considers what medium of communication will be most appropriate in reaching the majority of Ghanaians for the purposes of public education on oil and gas issues and expectation management. This publication has been made possible by Youth Network for Human Rights & Democracy (you-net) and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Ghana. Youth Network for Human Rights & Democracy (you-net) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization dedicated to building the capacity of young people and the rural poor to participate actively in the governance of their communities especially in relation to resource allocation, good governance, peace-building and conflict prevention.
