Living in Ghana
Ghana is a West African nation with a southern coastline adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. It shares its borders with Cote D’Ivoire to the west, Burkina Faso to the north and Togo to the east. The country has a population that just exceeds 28 million. The country’s proximity to the Equator gives it a warm climate that is classified as ‘tropical savannah’. Both dense grasslands and forests are present in the country, as well as an extensive river network. Politically, Ghana is very stable in comparison to the rest of the continent, with research ranking the nation low on likelihood of corruption as well as overall fragility. The country has developed rather close ties to the United States. However, despite the strong political position overall Ghana does have a problem with drugs trafficking, with South American cartels using the country as a stopover location for transporting drugs to Europe. Ghana’s economy is diverse, involving the service sector, mineral extraction, oil and manufacturing. Real estate is also proving to be a catalyst for growth. Culturally, Ghana can be seen as one of Africa’s leaders, in relation to cinema, fashion and sports. Ghanaian music is very much traditional and reflective of the range of ethnic groups present in the country.
