African governments must prioritise social policy to improve lives – Prof Anyidoho
The GETSPA project is advocating for African governments to prioritize social policies that directly improve citizens' well-being, encompassing areas like education, health, security, and decent work, not solely focusing on economic indicators. Professor Nana Akua Anyidoho emphasizes that social policies are crucial for a fulfilling life. Laura Alfers highlights the need for government and citizen cooperation, citing the inadequate childcare facilities in Accra's informal markets and the lack of clear regulations surrounding childcare provision as examples of social issues needing attention. GETSPA calls for a shift towards addressing fundamental needs and strengthening social safety nets.
