This Fact Sheet is an abridged version of a research report titled: Gender Responsive Public Services and Macro-economic Policy in Ghana. The research looks at the reality of how macro-economic policies which are mostly dependent on recommendations by international financial institutions, impact on access to gender responsive public services (GRPS) by vulnerable groups, especially women and girls. The research was conducted as part of ActionAid’s multi country initiative known as the Young Urban Women’s (YUW) Programme. The project, executed since 2013 in India, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, is committed to building the active agency of young urban women between the ages of 15-25 years living in economically vulnerable environments to combat and challenge rights violations and inequalities they face.
