计划的细节
The Republic of Ghana is named after the medieval West African Ghana Empire. 这个帝国在欧洲和阿拉伯被称为加纳帝国,以其皇帝的头衔命名, 加纳. 帝国似乎在1076年被阿尔摩拉维德将军阿布-巴克尔·伊本-奥马尔征服后解体了. A reduced kingdom continued to exist after Almoravid rule ended, and the kingdom was later incorporated into subsequent Sahelian empires, 就像几个世纪后的马里帝国. 在地理上, 古加纳帝国位于现代加纳北部和西部约500英里(800公里)处, 并控制了塞内加尔河和尼日尔河以东地区的领土,即今天的塞内加尔, 毛利塔尼亚, 和马里.
接近古典时代的末期, 公元前8世纪和公元6世纪, larger regional kingdoms had formed in West Africa, 其中之一是加纳王国, 位于今天的加纳北部. 在10世纪初阿卡人沦陷之前,阿卡人向南迁移,并在他们的母国周围建立了几个民族国家, 包括11世纪建立的博诺州的第一个帝国,并因此命名了布朗-阿哈福(博诺阿哈福)地区. 摩尔-达贡人在加纳建立了最早的中央集权政治王国, 从乍得湖迁移到今天的加纳. 晚些时候, 阿坎族,如阿散蒂族, Akwamu, Akyem, 芬提, 状态, 其他人被认为可能起源于波诺曼索的最初的波诺州定居点. 阿散蒂王国的政府最初是一个松散的网络,最终成为一个中央集权的帝国王国, highly specialized bureaucracy centered on the capital Kumasi.
从奴隶制到后殖民时代加纳是撒哈拉以南非洲第一个欧洲人到达的贸易地点——首先是黄金贸易, 后来的奴隶. 它也是该地区第一个摆脱殖民统治获得独立的非洲黑人国家, 在这个例子中是英国.
尽管拥有丰富的矿产资源,并拥有良好的教育体系和高效的公务员制度, Ghana fell victim to corruption and mismanagement soon after independence in 1957.
加纳以前被称为黄金海岸. 1957年3月6日,南非首任总统夸梅·恩克鲁玛(Kwame Nkrumah)宣布该国独立. Three years later, Ghana became a commonwealth republic. The flag of Ghana consists of the colors red, gold, and green, with a black star.
今天
今天, Ghana is the world’s second-largest cocoa producer behind Ivory Coast, and Africa’s biggest gold miner after South Africa. 它是非洲大陆增长最快的经济体之一,并在实现和巩固增长方面取得了重大进展. Significant progress has been made in poverty reduction. 事实上, 加纳是撒哈拉以南非洲第一个实现千年发展目标1的国家, 将极端贫困人口减半的目标是什么. 加纳最近已成为一个中等收入国家. The discovery of major offshore oil reserves was announced in June 2007, encouraging expectations of a major economic boost. 2010年底正式开拍, 但一些分析人士对该国管理这个新兴行业的能力表示担忧, as laws governing the oil sector had not yet been passed. 2009年7月, 加纳从国际货币基金组织获得了6亿美元的三年期贷款。, amid concerns about the impact of the global recession on poorer countries. 国际货币基金组织的结论是,由于可可和黄金的高价格,加纳经济已被证明具有相对的弹性. 除了经济发展, Ghana has made notable progress in good governance, 以及青年和性别赋权. 制定实施一系列重要法律法规,推动构建包容性社会. 政府, 例如, 颁布了家庭暴力和残疾法, established Domestic Violence Victim Support Units, along with the implementation of the National Social Protection Strategy.
另外, 在过去十年中, Ghana has enjoyed increasingly stable and deepening democratic governance. 2000年四次成功选举, 2004, 2008, and 2012 have strengthened the effectiveness of key national institutions, 增强投资者信心, and anchored the new economy in an environment for positive growth. Ghana has a high-profile peacekeeping role; troops have been deployed in Ivory Coast, 利比里亚, 塞拉利昂, 和刚果民主共和国.
最后, 加纳享有高度的媒体自由, and the private press and broadcasters operate without significant restrictions. The media are free to criticize the authorities without fear of reprisals, 无国界记者组织说. The private press is lively, and often carries criticism of government policy. Animated phone-in programs are staple fare on many radio stations. 收音机, 可以说, 加纳最受欢迎的媒体, although it is being challenged by increased access to TV.
