MIGNEX Case Study Brief GHA2 - Migration and development dynamics in Golf City, Ghana

Description

Golf City has seen significant investment in industrial, infrastructural and utilities projects, yet an emphasis on private development has led to significant socioeconomic inequality.

Key Takeaways

  • In-migration for agricultural and business opportunities has transformed the broader Golf City community, with most young adults (75%) being internal migrants.
  • A lack of planning and investment has led to significant inequalities and limited livelihood support for many young adults.
  • While international migration is a common aspiration, it is perceived as a distant option. Most young adults (72%) expect to stay in Golf City in the next five years
