The Readers are a collection of essays reflecting developments in the discipline or sub-discipline over several years. They are meant to highlight Legon’s contribution to knowledge development over the last 65 years. The books include articles by many luminaries, Professors and Lecturers past and present.

Each Reader will be essential reading for senior undergraduates, graduate students and professionals in the field concerned. They will give the students and even the faculty themselves a better understanding of their roles as participants in an on-going intellectual activity and tradition.

But the intended audience is not limited to academia – each reader presents the face of its unit to the wider community, both in Ghana and abroad, and will be useful to anyone who wants to know something of what is going on in that field at the University of Ghana.

All the books are being published by Ghanaian publishers, at affordable prices.

    Challenges of Implementing the Medium Term Expenditure Framework in Developing Countries: Evidence from Ghana
    (2013-12-09) Onumah, J.M.; Owusu, G.M.Y.
    The paper examines the challenges faced by Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) country-adopters. This stems from the limited studies ascertaining the challenges emerging from the implementation of MTEF, especially in Africa. The current study therefore adopted survey strategy to collect data from 27 out of a population of 38 Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) that have direct budgetary allocation. Results show that the state of implementation of the concept in Ghana is acceptable, but the challenges identified are widespread, limiting the concept’s achievement to some extent. Other needs by the institutions are in the form of reliable data for realistic expenditure budgeting, personnel with requisite technical abilities and skills, adequate remuneration and executive commitment to see to the success of the concept. The study provides for the Executive and policy makers, relevant data that would aid their monitoring and evaluation of the MTEF concept and which would enable them take corrective measures in reforming their implementation plans and procedures.
