Socio-Economic Challenges Facing Ivorian Refugees in Ampain and Fetentaa Camps in Ghana ()
ABSTRACT
This research
investigates the socio-economic status of Ivorian living in the Ghanaian
refugee camps at Ampain, and Fetentaa. The analysis provides an outlook into
aspects such as the food, housing and accommodation, health, education, and employment opportunities available for the Ivorian refugees in Ghana. Furthermore, the report also looks at the political and
social activities and partnerships designed to support the refugees. Based on
this analysis, the problems with which the Ivorian refugees in Ghana deal are
delineated. The identification of their problems allows a clear and rational
recommendation of solutions to address them. The report finds that the socio-economic
issues of the Ivorian refugees in the Ghanaian refugee camps at Ampain, and
Fetentaa are very complex, and the existent programs created to address their
nutrition, health, housing, education or employment are currently
unsustainable. To effectively solve them and provide better life prospects for
the refugees, the programs designed for
various social and economic aspects should be approached
interdependently.
