The Ghanaian-German Programme for Development Studies at the University of Ghana, Legon, Accra
Background
Ghana is a developing country in West Africa that is currently experiencing some period of political stability and continuous economic development. Recent years have also seen an increase in governmental spending on education. While this is an encouraging development, the development of institutions of advanced education lags behind. Most Ghanaian students seeking PhD training are still heading abroad as Ghanaian Universities are not able to meet all specialized training courses for PhD students, especially in the field of development studies. Given this situation, the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) at the University of Ghana, Legon, and the Centre for Development Research (ZEF), at the University of Bonn, Germany have decided to liaise to establish a Programme for Development Studies that provides Ghanaian and other African PhD students in the field of development studies with advanced theoretical, methodological and leadership training. Capacity building, staff development, and the enhancement of ISSER infrastructure, will help to make the Programme for Development Studies at the University of Ghana, Legon, sustainable.
