Eventhough China achieved universal health insurance coverage in 2011, representing the largest expansion of insurance coverage in human history achieved; health inequality remains endemic in China. Lessons from the effect of market crisis on health equity in Europe and other places has reignited interest in exploring the potential healthcare market aberrations that can trigger distributive injustice in healthcare resource allocation among China’s provinces. Recently, many healthcare investors in China have become more concerned about capital preservation, and are responding by abandoning long term investments strategies in healthcare.

Title A name given to the resource The Effect of Microfinance as a Poverty Reduction Tool: A Case of ID Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hamisu Muhammed Description An account of the resource The study aims at providing a critical appraisal of the effectiveness of microfinance as a universal poverty reduction tool. It has been argued that while microfinance has developed some innovative management and business strategies, its impact on poverty reduction remains in doubt (Chowdhury, 2009). Microfinance, however, certainly plays an important role in providing a safety net and consumption smoothening. The borrowers of microfinance possibly also benefit from learning-by doing and from self-esteem. However, to ascertain to ascertain any significant dent in poverty, the study needs to be conducted to evaluate the operational and financial perspective of microfinance institutions and their products. The study aims to examine the effects of microfinance as a poverty reduction tool. The research questions to be addressed include: (a) To what extent do microfinance institutions (hereinafter referred to as “MFIs”) alleviate poverty? and (b) Do MFIs have an impact on Ghana’s financial market? The study provides solution guidelines for regulators and academia in this era of turbulent microfinance industry. A critical literature review was conducted and gaps therein established. Thus, although microfinance is seen to have a positive impact on poverty reduction, other authors refuted it, and asked for more rigorous research in this area. In this study, primary data have been collected using structured questionnaires and interviews. The primary data were directly collected from the field by administering 695 questionnaires across various sub-metros in the Greater Accra region of the Republic of Ghana. Using the stratified sampling approach, the selection procedure for Initiative Development (hereinafter referred to as “ID”) Ghana clients considered several factors and involve multiple stages. The chief limitation of the approach is that the sample may not be representative of the population if it is not carefully selected. Again, the selection process of the interviewees does not give all the population members a fair chance of being selected, due to over reliance on mobile bankers and a small group to identify the target interviewees. Three different data analysis tool were employed. One, Structural equation modeling is preferred by the researcher because it estimates the multiple and interrelated dependence in a single analysis. In this analysis, two types of variables are used, endogenous (dependent) variables and exogenous (Independent) variables. Two, analysis of variance (hereinafter referred to as “ANOVA”) is also used because it enables the researcher to see how effective microfinance products are used to alleviate or reduce poverty. The ANOVA is also able to tell if another intervention can do the same task in a shorter period, whilst costing less in reducing poverty in less privileged communities. Three, simple statistical analysis is also used and the results presented in tables, charts and graphs. The purpose is to summarize data and give an immediate “picture” of the data. From the data analysis, it was observed that economic independence had a positively insignificant effect on poverty Reduction (β = -0.124, p = .343), hence H1 was not supported. Housing and shelter had a positively significant effect on poverty reduction (β= 0.436, p = .000); whilst asset ownership had a positively significant effect on poverty reduction (β = 0.556, p = .001). Furthermore, food & nutrition had a positively significant effect on poverty reduction (β = 0.422, p = .004); whist health & hygiene had a positively significant effect on poverty reduction (β = 0.386, p = .000). Lastly, asset ownership had a positively significant effect on economic independence (β = 0.626, p = .000). Based on the evidence we accept H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 respectively, which are supported by the model and reject H1 as it is not supported by the model. Turning to the ANOVA results, it was observed that microfinance institutions, to some extent help alleviate poverty among women traders. This is evident from the fact that the revenue of participants who took loans, appears to improve post loan. That is to say that, their actual mean performance exceeded the expected results by one percent (1%). In a plain language, the post loan revenue improved by 80%. The findings of this study have several implications for the academia, microfinance institutions and the policymakers. For academia, this study added new evidence regarding the impact of microfinance on the socioeconomic development of low income households, especially women who cannot access financial services due to their poverty. Thus, it helps theses households to diversify their income and thereby alleviate their poverty. In a nutshell, this study provides an insight into the role of microfinance on women empowerment in the urban and rural parts of a developing country. In the context of Ghana, given the peculiar status of women in the society, coupled with the emerging economic uncertainty in the family system, it has become imperative for them to undertake a venture or economic activities that could stabilize the uncertainties. Prominent among the vast range of sources of capital is the microfinance products. The microfinance provide women with a relative economic stability through employment generation, creates gender parity through empowerment and assets accumulation. It further provides women with the capacity to educate their children and cater for their health needs as well. In a similar vein, this study suggests that microfinance has the ability to contribute significantly to the achievement of a new economic policy (NEP) and a new economic model (NEM) that guide the achievement of the Ghana Agenda for Job Creation and Poverty Reduction Strategy, through a comprehensive social intervention in the wake of Nation Builders Corp (NABCO), Stimulus Packages; One District One Factory, One Million per Constituency, Entrepreneurial Development Fund and Zongo Development Fund. It does so, through enhancing the socioeconomic wellbeing of poor and low income people especially women. It also plays a central role in creating jobs for women especially those with low education. Therefore, microfinance opens an opportunity for,women borrowers to play significant role in a national economic development.

Title A name given to the resource The Effect of Monetary Policy on Price Stability and Gross Domestic Product in Ghana: A Predictive Analytic Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yaw Bediako, Patrick Ohemeng Gyaase, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource This study examined the effects of monetary policy on price stability and gross domestic product (GDP) in Ghana using a predictive data analytical model adapted from Friedman's (1982) models. Monetary policy adopted a two-target framework based on both the policy interest rate target and the bank credit aggregate target. Hypotheses tests were conducted using Vector Auto-Regressions (VARs) and Multiple Regression Analyses using secondary data. The VAR tests produced a statistically weak relationship between both price stability and real GDP and the two-target monetary policy framework. The results from the multiple regression analyses, however, indicated statistically significant relationships between the price stability and interest rate targets and those of real GDP and bank credit aggregate targets, thus confirming the model’s predictive capability.

Title A name given to the resource The Effect of School Feeding Programme on Basic Education in Greater Accra Region, Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Juliana Maame-Esi Owusu-Ansah Description An account of the resource Education is the backbone of every nation. Many developed countries have attained their levels of development because of the attention paid to educating their citizens. For a developing country like Ghana to break more grounds on its development efforts, there is the need to pay close attention to the education of its people, especially the youth. The School Feeding Programme (SFP) is one of the strategies that can aid basic school enrolment and sustain education in the higher levels required for development. The present study looks at the effect of the School Feeding Programme on basic education in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The need for the study emanates from many reports suggesting that the SFP is bedeviled with lots of challenges. These challenges include, but not limited to, the lack of funds, political patronage in the selection of caterers, and the inability to expand the programme to cover more public schools in the country. The study specifically examines the views of stakeholders on operations and management at the school level; assesses the effects of SFP on enrolment, attendance, retention, and completion rates of pupils, and identify the challenges facing the SFP. The study relied on mixed method approach for the procurement of empirical data. SPSS and Stata were used to analyze the primary quantitative data, with Excel being used to produce the graphs. The qualitative data were transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically, using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).The study found that the SFP motivates children to enroll, remain, and complete basic school. The lack of resources was found to constraint the caterers to provide good services. In general, the programme is a good one with the potential to boost education at the basic level towards the alleviation of poverty.
