Infrastructure Deficit and Social Challenges: The Ripple Effects on Sustainability in Ghana
Journal Title: American Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Innovation (AJMRI) - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The lack of intercontinental and intracontinental trade integration in Africa is the result of underdevelopment in the area of poor infrastructure. The Ghanaian economy is bedeviled with deficits at both the economic and infrastructure levels. Only 25% of the rural population has access to road, and 34% of the total African population have access to roads. The lack of infrastructure investment has contributed to the infrastructure deficit in Africa. 100,000 Ghanaians are homeless resulting in increased cases of teenage pregnancy. A coordinated action including priority setting and serious monitoring of the performance of fund mobilization, agreeing on contribution levels for each state as well as ensuring close monitoring of implementation and performance is recommended.
