| description | This paper discusses the factors that influence the scale and nature of poverty in
Kumasi, with a special focus on the role of city government and other governmental
bodies. It reviews critically the impact of city government’s policies on
the livelihoods of poorer groups and their access to essential services, and notes
the limited impact of democratization and decentralization on improving the
performance of government agencies, particularly in relation to the urban poor. It
also discusses what factors have helped to limit the scale and extent of poverty,
including the role of traditional land allocation systems, donor involvement and
supportive ethnic networks. |
