Blog #11 Ghana and five other countries to reduce poverty

According to All Ghana News six countries have been selected In the pursuit to reduce poverty in Africa; to strengthen effective collaboration between research, advocacy and media in order to deliver pro-poor policies for the continent.  The project, to be implemented in Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, Malawi, Kenya and Uganda, has a financial support from Southern Africa Trust through Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In Ghana, the project is initiated by SEND Ghana, a non-governmental organization. It has Ghana News Agency (GNA), Public Agenda, Ecumenical Association for Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development,   Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation Food Research Institute and the Water Research Institute in addressing Aflatoxin in maize in the Techiman Municipality and high cyanide and arsenic concentration in water in the Tarkwa Municipality. Speaking to the GNA, Mr Siapha Kamara, Chief Executive Officer of SEND Ghana said the collaboration between these institutions would maximize poverty reduction and improved evidence based advocacy for policy change, transparent and accountable governance.

In a sense, capitalism is being reinforced in this situation; an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit I believe that capitalism allows individuals to flourish, assuming they have something of value to offer. the article states that capitalism is trade without regulation. However this all stems with the individual. You cant overlook those who refuse to be productive and wallow in poverty by choice. As countries who are more fortunate then others such as Ghana, should led a helping hand. I think this help will  increase quality of water, which has been a main affect on lives and has caused many deaths. I am happy to see that action is being taken in making this a better world.
