- [ Ghana: ISODEC Urges Government to Adopt Alternative Economic Models](https://wadr.org/ghana-isodec-urges-government-to-adopt-alternative-economic-models-2/): Economic experts are calling on Ghana to rethink its approach to food price pressures and broader economic challenges. At a forum organised by the Integrated Social Development Centre, ISODEC, the experts urged the government and the Bank of Ghana to consider measures that support local food production. They proposed that the state buy and store surplus farm produce, releasing it when supplies are low to reduce waste, support farmers and ease reliance on food imports. The experts also warned that excessive borrowing from international markets could deepen Ghana’s debt burden. Naa Dedei Tettey has the details.
