At IMANI, we believe engaging local governments on thorny issues such as the one reported above makes real impact. We have engaged the Ministries of Health, Trade and Communication in the past with great results. On February 21, 2008, IMANI will present a draft national alcohol policy to 80 delegates and the Ministries of Health, Trade, Communication, Transport, and numerous NGOs.
So amidst the joy of fatherhood, I was busy responding to national duties.
After many Ghanaians commented on the article below, the Ghanaian Government’s main state-owned radio station with syndicating alliances in all ten regions of Ghana used the article for its main discussions yesterday. The discussants were the Hon. Deputy Minister for Manpower, Youth and Employment, Franklin Cudjoe ( IMANI Director and AfricanLiberty.org Editor) and Dr. Steve Manteau who is communication director for ISODEC, a socialist NGO.
Enjoy the 102 minute discussion by clicking on this audio link . Apart from the first 45 seconds, the entire audio link is fine.
The article is here, and was published in the State-owned Ghanaian Daily Graphic on Monday, February 4, 2008
Also carried in the The New Times in Rwanda and All Africa.com
