The gap between theory and practice is the key problem to be addressed
by members of the network. It is common knowledge that many students
complete courses in economics without a fair understanding of the
rudiments of the economy of Ghana.
Despite the introduction to the economy of Ghana many graduates
of economics are unable to comprehend the functioning of the public
sector. Public sector economic management appears to have been shrouded
in secrecy despite the publication and sale of the annual Budget
and Economic Policy Statement of the Government. It may not be far
fetch to suggest that the ignorance of the economics of the public
sector is the result of the non-existent readable literature on
the subject.
Objective
The aim of the network is therefore to bridge the gap between practice
and theory by getting as many people as possible to who are interested
to discuss the economy from the point of view of researchers and
public sector economic managers (practitioners). Ultimately the
discussions will result in publications on the public sector economic
management in Ghana, which may be made more widely available to
the general reader and students of economics.
Target Group
To make the dream of bridging the gap between theory and practice
a reality, whilst making literature on public economic management
more widely available to the general reader, Researchers and Economists,
Budget and Planning Officers and Public Sector Managers in the Ministry
of Finance, Ghana Statistical Service, Revenue Collection Agencies,
Ministries, Departments and Agencies and the Controller and Accountant
General's Department (CAGD) are invited to form the nucleus of the
network.
