Consumer protection in Ghana: - Understanding the relationship between consumer awareness and policy responsiveness.

1 Introduction and Background Intensive economic growth in Ghana can be dated from the 1890s. (Reynolds, 1985) The history of Ghana’s economic policies dates back to about 1910 when we were under colonial rule. The economy then, which was not independent, was run by extractions’ policies that supported the export of the bulk of our raw materials. After Ghana attained independence in 1957, Nkrumah sought to create a self-sufficient country through polices that would move Ghana from being just an exporter of raw material to one that could convert the raw material to goods that could be traded. He wanted to alter the structure of the economy to create an industrialized country with first a five year development plan and then his seven year plan. Ghana after the overthrow of Nkrumah between 1966 and 1992 has struggled to find the right combination of economic policies and social intervention to create sustained economic growth. (Apter, 2008)
