    Description
    Capstone; [FULL-TEXT FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE]
     
    The first section of this paper outlines Ghana’s rich economic, political, and social history, paying special attention to social capital, an informal institution that largely determines the effectiveness of CD implementation. The second section outlines the theory behind community economic development movements, while the third section analyzes existing Ghanaian community development movements. The fourth section of the paper proposes a future trajectory in which rural Ghanaian farmers may make use of community development movements. [From Introduction]
