ANNUAL REPORT 2005/2006
OVERVIEW
The Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) continued to grow steadily in 2005/2006. Total income rose from over nine billion cedis in 2004 to more than eleven billion cedis in 2005. This income level was maintained in 2006. The Institute continued to produce several publications, including eight technical publications and two edited volumes. This was in addition to over 30 other publications from individual researchers. It also organised a number of public lectures, workshops and seminars on pertinent national and sub-regional socio-economic issues. Researchers at the Institute have been active in yarious research projects, often in collaboration with both local and international partners.
ISSER's staff development programme, now in its third year, continued to show positive results. Two principal researchers began their Ph.D training in the UK. and Germany with financial assistance from ISSER. Efforts to recruit new PRAs saw 6 young researchers joining ISSER at the end of the academic year.
ISSER's special relationship with Merchant Bank Ghana Limited Ghana continues to expand in scope, providing increased avenues for the two partners to contribute to informed debate and share knowledge about development with the general public. The two partners worked with Institute of Directors Ghana to hold a mid-year budget review seminar in July 2006. This was in addition to the annual ISSER-Merchant Bank Economic Lecture and the ISSER-Merchimt Bank Development Seminar Series.
Another significant outreach endeavour carried out by the Institute in collaboration with Cornell University, University of Development Studies (UDS) and the Economy of Ghana Network (EGN) was the organisation of a programme of workshops and seminars under the broad theme of 'Economic Development and Northern Ghana' in Tamale and Bolgatanga. The programme was dubbed “The Northern Roadshow” and it involved 12 researchers from ISSER, Cornell and other institutions travelling to northem Ghana for a week of interaction with the public and students of UDS. The programme was also used to launch the 2005 edition of the annual "State of the Ghanaian Economy Report".
