Student Workshop: Inclusive and Sustainable Growth Beyond GDP in Ghana

As the push intensifies for countries to go "beyond GDP" when measuring progress and building more sustainable public policies, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and IDRC are hosting a half-day conference at University of Ghana to discuss what looking beyond the GDP framework would mean for students in Ghana.

Through a series of talks, workshops and participatory activities this conference will introduce the limitations of GDP as well as provide overviews of alternative and complementary measures to GDP and their policy implications.
