Looking to South Korea for Rural Development Ideas
Since independence in 1957, Ghana has implemented diverse projects as part of efforts to transform its rural communities. One of such initiatives was the implementation of rural electrification project to extend power supply to rural areas in late 1990s. The rationale was to promote economic activities in those communities.
Another example was the establishment of rural banks in 1970s to mobilise resources in the rural communities and channel them towards economic and agricultural ventures in rural areas.
A more recent example is the establishment of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) to spearhead the development of the three regions of the north and parts of the Brong Ahafo and Volta regions.
