The Director of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Dr John Kwakye, has said that the decision by the US government to stop its United States Agency for International Development (USAID) programme should be a wake-up call for Ghana.
Dr Kwakye makes the point that this is the time for Ghana to demand more of its natural resource wealth to fund its own development.
USAID has been providing aid to Ghana, particularly in health and agriculture.
The USAID has indicated plans to suspend its support for supply chain activities in three northern regions of the country.
