A new study by a team of Ghanaian economists in collaboration with the Brookings Institution has identified agro-processing and tourism as two of the sectors that could be relied on to potentially address Ghana’s worrying unemployment numbers and enhance competitiveness and productivity of small and medium-sized firms.
The team comprised Professor Ernest Aryeetey of Africa Research Universities Alliance (ARUA); Dr Priscilla Twumasi Baffour and Dr Ebo Turkson, both of the Department of Economics, University of Ghana.
The study, titled: “Industries Without Smokestacks (IWOSS) in Africa- Ghana Country Case Study”, was disseminated by Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) - University of Ghana.
