  1. Part 2 Everyday life

  2. Activity 1Economy • By West African standards, Ghana has a diverse and rich resource base. The country is mainly agricultural, however, with a majority of its workers engaged in farming.

  3. Cash crops consist primarily of cocoa and cocoa products, which typically provide about two-thirds of export revenues, timber products, palm oil, coconuts and other palm products, shear nuts, which produce an edible fat, and coffee.

  4. Ghana also has established a successful program of nontraditional agricultural products for export, including pineapples, cashews, and pepper. Cassava, yams, plantains, maize, rice, peanuts, millet, and sorghum are the basic foodstuffs. Fish, poultry, and meat also are important dietary staple.

  5. chores Men's roles in families, however, are not improved automatically by their presence, nor do children necessarily benefit. Problems may arise if the father is at home but decision-making is not shared by both parents, as is often the case. Child welfare suffers when men unleash violence against women and children, when men spend income on goods that do not contribute to family welfare, such as alcohol, and when they serve as negative role models.

  6. Women's empowerment begins in the household with equality, autonomy and respect. Achieving equality between men and women in the family is the foundation on which empowerment in other areas is based.

  11. In general, soups and sauces are prepared with either fish, goat, mutton or chicken.The Ghanaian version of 'fast food' can be found at the 'chop bars'.
