Abstract:

This book shows how governments in the developing world can succeed in creating effective policy formulas. Public policy is a process that evolves from a coalition of actors. In this book, the authors take us through the step by step process of decision making and implementation of policy initiatives in the country of Ghana. Although the desired outcomes did not always occur, these initiatives can tell scholars and policy-makers what works and does not work in a developing country along with contingency variables that make a difference in policy areas.
