USAID, Disability and Development in GhanaAnalysis and RecommendationsROBERT L. METTS is an associate professor of economics at the University of Nevada, Reno.
NANSEA METTS is a consultant on the design and evaluation of disability related development projects. The authors conducted research in Ghana in 1995 to determine the extent to which the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) mission in Ghana included people with disabilities as providers and recipients of services. Finding that no attempt had been made by USAID to include people with disabilities in any of its activities, the authors then examined the current USAID development assistance strategy in Ghana, in search of opportunities to immediately begin to include people with disabilities. In this article, the authors present their results within the framework of their original model of the relationship between disability and development, and they recommend cost-effective strategies for including people with disabilities in current USAID development assistance activities in Ghana.
