Talk:Ghana

Independence

The article says "On 6 March 1957, Ghana became the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve sovereignty.'

Anyone heard of South Africa? Ferrabosco (talk) 10:37, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on this topic. A cursory reading, of some of the references cited for this sentence, does not seem to support the claim.

Perhaps the editor who wrote that text meant that Ghana was the first republic (1960 vs. 1961 for South Africa)? Or maybe the editor meant that Ghana was the first country to gain independence in the post-World-War-II wave? Mgnbar (talk) 15:03, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

percent of Ghana GDP spent on Space exploration

Under the Science and Technology tab, it states that Ghana spends 1 percent of its GDP on space exploration. This statistic is not sourced. This seems extremely unlikely, because the USA only spends about 0.6% of GDP on space exploration. 1% of Ghana's GDP would be 700 million USD, and I can find no evidence of such large spending. 38.49.79.174 (talk) 03:43, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

A table was extended to entire article

I wanted to request an edit- can someone who knows how to do so, fix the current error- a table in the geography section has been extended to the rest of the article, so that half of the article is colored grey, clearly an error. I don't know how to fix this. Thanks Varoart2005 (talk) 03:50, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Adding additional information regarding Foreign Direct Investment and its impact on Ghanian economy, especially from China and the USA. One paragraph:

Foreign Direct Investment are increasing in Ghana, especially from China and US. Chinese investment have significantly influenced the nation's economic growth and have impacted bilateral ties, regional interactions, and global markets. These investments primarily target the infrastructure, natural resources, and manufacturing sectors, fostering economic expansion, employment opportunities, and technology transfer within Ghana. Nonetheless, issues related to the sustainability of projects financed by China, environmental consequences, and the opacity of these investments necessitate a thorough evaluation of these partnerships.
