In addition, the country is heavily involved in heroin and cocaine trafficking as well as international money laundering operations (Transnational issues). In addition, the movement of cattle between Ghana and neighboring nations represents a potential source of new animal-borne diseases (Frimpong, Bosona, Bobobee, Aklaku and Hamdu). CONCLUSION

The research showed that although Ghana has a lot going for it, the country is still faced with many of the same types of economic development constraints that characterize a number of other African nations, including the need for improved healthcare and educational facilities, especially for rural regions of the country. Despite the constraints to development noted, though, the research also showed that unlike many other African nations, Ghana enjoys a stable political system, abundant natural resources, including gold and oil, all of which promise to bring increased prosperity to the nation in the future.
