Ghana in COVID-19 pandemic

This paper focuses on how COVID-19 is affecting Ghana and how the government's response to the pandemic impacts on the people. It highlights the challenges faced by a developing economy with a fragile public health system, compounded by the contradictions and tensions inherent in the country's political, economic and socio-cultural realities. While COVID-19 does not discriminate against class, race, gender or age, its repercussions varied and are accentuated particularly along class lines, as well as between the Global North and South. The paper concludes by illuminating critical factors that should underlie government policies in navigating the country through the crisis.
