Ghana: Planning for a Nation's Economic and Social Development - the Journey From Guggisberg Economy to the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA)

press release

A writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, an inventor, publisher, and a founding father of the United States of America, Benjamin Franklin, once observed that "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!" Indeed, this is consistent with our own long-held view and popular adage which says "how well one lays his bed determine to a large extent how much he/she will enjoy the sleep".
