Ghana and Burkina Faso

Chapter Chapter 3 in The Economics of Faith-Based Service Delivery, 2015, pp 63-88 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While this book covers ground for a larger set of sub-Saharan countries, more in-depth work is conducted on two countries, namely, Ghana and Burkina Faso. The purpose of this chapter is to provide background information on Ghana and Burkina Faso. There is a lot to cover, including a review of the history of the role of FIIs in education and health service delivery in both countries, an assessment of where the two countries stand today with respect to health and education outcomes, and an account of some of the characteristics of the faith landscape of both countries. Given the scope of what needs to be covered, each topic will be treated only briefly. But before going ahead, it is useful to explain why these two countries were chosen for this book. The reasons for this choice were both strategic and opportunistic.
