Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Give two ways a national government can promote development.

    Model answer

    Governments invest in schools, clinics, roads and power that private firms will not fund. Tax, tariff and licensing policy can also steer investment towards chosen industries.

  2. 2

    What is Ghana Beyond Aid?

    Model answer

    Ghana Beyond Aid is a government agenda set out in 2019 to reduce dependence on donor funding. Domestic revenue, value addition and industrialisation are its stated pillars.

  3. 3

    Describe Ghana's One District One Factory programme.

    Model answer

    One District One Factory, launched in 2017, aimed to place at least one processing plant in every district. The intention was to add value to crops locally and spread jobs beyond Accra.

  4. 4

    How has Botswana planned its development since independence?

    Model answer

    Botswana has worked through successive National Development Plans since 1966. Vision 2036 sets the longer-term goal of a diversified, high-income economy.

  5. 5

    What is the Sustainable Budget Index used by Botswana?

    Model answer

    The Sustainable Budget Index requires mineral revenue to fund investment rather than recurrent spending. Consumption spending must be covered by non-mineral revenue.

  6. 6

    Define official development assistance.

    Model answer

    Official development assistance is government aid given to promote development in poorer countries. Grants and sufficiently concessional loans both count.
