"Development in Unity Volume Two" represents an eclectic repertoire of over forty years exploits and profile of a renowned international scholar and an eminent cultural African leader, Daasebre Professor (Emeritus) Oti Boateng, to inspire a new generational philosophy of development. In this treatise, the author, a distinguished authority in statistics , a United Nations Commissioner, and recipient of several national and international awards, including recognition by the American Biographic Institute as one of the five hundred best thinkers of the twenty-first century, seeks to blend scholarship and culture as mutually inclusive prerequisites to underpin contemporary models in addressing pertinent development challenges. The book pioneers an alternative innovative root-based development model to harness the potential of indigenous institutions of governance in ensuring self-sustaining inclusive local economic development as a hedge against poverty, insurgency mobilization, migration, and radicalization in response to the demands of contemporary global development challenges. It elucidates the truth that development has manifold aspects, dealing with every aspect of human life, and addresses its intrinsic challenges from an eclectic and multidisciplinary perspective. In this respect, the book covers diverse areas ranging from entrepreneurial collaboration for sustainable micro progress, gender sensitive statistics to democratic governance through credible elections. Other areas include harmonization of tradition and modernity in the chieftaincy institution, integration of ECOWAS statistical systems, space science and satellite technology, oil and gas exploration, construction of poverty profiles, religion, and the cocoa industry. Every section of the book is filled with leadership lessons to inspire a new development approach and intellectual assertiveness. This very penetrating book fills an important knowledge gap between theory and experiential learning in the development process. It is a melting pot of lessons for all readers.

CHAPTER 1

EDUCATION

ECOWAS TRAINING COURSE ON THE EUROTRACE STATISTICAL SOFTWARE

Opening Address by Daasebre Dr. Oti Boateng, Government Statistician and Member of the Council of State, Hotel Wangara, Accra, 9th to 20th October, 1995.

Mr. Chairman, Director of the Community Computing Centre, Distinguished Guests, Course Participants, Ladies and Gentlemen

We of the Ghana Statistical Service are delighted to accept the invitation of the management of the Community Computing Centre (CCC), Lome, to co-host this two-week course on EUROTRACE statistical software in Ghana. We wish to take this opportunity to welcome the participants representing the Member States of the ECOWAS and all other participants to Ghana.

The principal aims of establishing the ECOWAS were to promote co-operation and integration, leading to the establishment of an economic union in West Africa in order to raise the living standards of the population of the sub-region and to maintain and enhance economic stability, foster good relations among Member States and contribute to the progress and development of the African Continent.

Among the objectives adopted to realize these laudable aims of the Community are:

(a) the establishment of a common market through:

i) the harmonization of trade among Member States;

ii) the adoption of a common external tariff and a common trade policy vis-�-vis third countries;

iii) the removal, between Member States, of obstacles to the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, and to the right of residence and establishment;

(b) the harmonization of standards and measures; and

The formation of an economic union creates a number of new challenges for comparable Community-wide statistical information that will promote the effective formulation and management of macro-economic policies of Member States. In the area of external trade statistics, for example, there is the problem of differences in the standard measures and coding systems in Member States. The ECOWAS sub-region also has a unique problem of trying to harmonize at least three different customs systems inherited from the colonial past. The existence of these problems hinder any effective compilation of comparable Community trade statistics.

We are happy to note that the ECOWAS Secretariat has recognized these problems and has taken steps to tackle them by establishing standard nomenclatures and coding systems for use within the Community which will facilitate the publication of the Community's External Trade Statistical Year Book early next year.

Realising the role that a viable external trade statistical data can play in formulating and managing national economic policies, the Community Computer Centre initiated a programme to introduce the EUROTRACE software as a tool in Member States for the production of trade statistics to replac
