With the new government in place and a competitive situation in Parliament, one thing everyone agrees on is to see development fast-tracked throughout Ghana.
This is especially true after a year of enduring the COVID-19 pandemic and its global lockdowns.
As President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recently put it, Ghana needs to build a prosperous nation, and soon.
While prosperity is definitely about vigorous economic growth, it covers so much more.
Its Latin root literally means ‘doing well’.
It tells us that making Ghana prosperous is also about ensuring better health for its citizens, more education for its children, and better nutrition for its most vulnerable.
Rawlings Legacy: Economic Reforms and Impact on ordinary Ghanaian LISTEN
JAN 26, 2021
Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, a former Airforce Officer, who presided over the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) as Chairman and Head of State for 11 years, implemented many life-changing economic policies that defined Ghana s economic structures and aided its socio-economic development. It must be noted that most of those economic reforms were proposed and supervised by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank from 1982 to 1992 under the PNDC regime and during the constitutional rule under the Fourth Republic from 1993 to January 7, 2001.
Following his passing on November 12, 2020, it is imperative to go down the memory lane on some of those economic policies and programmes that laid the foundation for the country s economic growth.

When President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was recently sworn in for the second time, he emphasised how Ghana is set to become one of the most digitised economies in Africa over the next few years.
This, he pointed out, can drive the enterprise and ingenuity of the nation, and help push economic prosperity.
Of course, no government, no matter how rich or powerful, can do all things. Even President Akufo-Addo will have to prioritise which policy areas his second term will focus on.
But digitisation is an excellent place to start.
