Ghana is in a period of rapid change as it transitions into an oil economy and begins the countdown to presidential elections at the end of 2012.  If managed successfully, these processes could consolidate Ghana's democratic achievements and confirm the country's move toward middle-income status.  If mishandled, Ghana's hard-won status as the success story of West Africa could be seriously tarnished. Please join the CSIS Africa Program for a discussion of its recent report, Ghana: Assessing Risks to Stability, along with analysis of developments in the oil and agricultural sectors, including Ghana's work with the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
