Ghana has a reputation for staging some of the most eccentric funerals in the world – boasting extraordinary displays of colour, dancing, deep rooted history, and a strong association with Ghanaian royalty. Hannah Ajala takes the listener on a compelling aural journey as she uncovers the stories behind this unique and complex tradition. In West Africa, end of life celebrations are a far cry from those in the Western world. Each funeral can take weeks or months to plan and they are often more lavish – and expensive - than weddings. Funerals are an essential part of paying respect to the departed. Hannah travels to the cultural capital of the country, Kumasi, to witness a Ghanaian funeral first hand. She delves into the significance of these ancient traditions: the dancing, the dress code, the burial and final funeral rites as well as the role played by the ‘talking drums'.

Le Ghana a connu hier, dimanche 8 décembre, une nouvelle alternance pacifique, la quatrième depuis l'an 2000. Et pour s'assurer que tout se passerait pacifiquement, le candidat du pouvoir a reconnu sa défaite et a appelé le vainqueur pour le féliciter. Pourquoi cette victoire de l'opposant John Dramani Mahama ? Et pourquoi une telle stabilité politique depuis 25 ans, sans troisième mandat et sans coup d'État ? Pierre Jacquemot a été ambassadeur de France à Accra. Il a publié La démocratie à l'épreuve aux éditions de l'Aube. Aujourd'hui, il est expert à la fondation Jean-Jaurès et répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Est-ce que vous êtes surpris par cette victoire de l'opposant John Dramani Mahama? Pierre Jacquemot : Non, pas vraiment. D'abord parce que c'est une personnalité bien connue, déjà expérimentée et qui a un programme qui tient la route. Et puis surtout, c'est la démonstration pour moi de la vitalité de la démocratie ghanéenne, avec notamment le respect de l'alternance, puisque Mahama, qui vient d'être élu, remplace le président Akufo-Addo qui était de l'autre parti. Donc, on est dans un cas de figure où le Ghana, comme c'est le cas du Sénégal aussi d'ailleurs, démontre que la démocratie élective, électorale, peut être parfaitement respectée dans un pays africain.Et pourquoi les Ghanéens ont-ils préféré voter pour l'opposition ? Parce qu'on est dans une situation où le pays connaît une fatigue du modèle économique qui a été mis en place depuis un certain nombre d'années et qui se traduit aujourd'hui par une très forte inflation, ce qui est assez nouveau dans ce pays. On a même une inflation qui a atteint à la fin de l'année 2022 plus de 50 %, ce qui est évidemment considérable. Le cédi, qui est la monnaie locale, a chuté très très gravement, augmentant le coût des importations. Et puis enfin, on peut se demander si ce pays ne traverse pas ce que d'autres pays ont connu par le passé, une phase de malédiction du pétrole, de l'or, du cacao, de ses ressources d'exportation, avec toute une série de dérèglements, dont l'inflation, la chute de la monnaie, mais également des affaires de corruption qui ont marqué la fin de la période de Nana Akufo-Addo.Mais Nana Akufo-Addo n'avait-il pas réussi à ramener l'inflation de 50% à 23% par an ? Oui, mais ça reste très élevé, notamment comparé aux pays voisins. On pourrait d'ailleurs noter à cet égard que la zone franc, le franc CFA, qui est tellement décriée dans la région, lorsqu'on traverse une période difficile comme celle de la pandémie ou celle de la crise sur les approvisionnements en céréales du fait de la guerre en Ukraine, ces pays, je pense au Togo, au Bénin ou à la Côte d'Ivoire, les pays voisins ont mieux tenu le choc. Et le Ghana, qui se faisait fort, au début du mandat de Nana Akufo-Addo, de ne pas avoir recours au FMI, a été obligé de passer sous ses fourches caudines pour défaut de paiement depuis deux ans.Le Ghana était la deuxième puissance économique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest jusqu'à ce que la Côte d'Ivoire passe devant ces dernières années. Est-ce aussi un déclassement qui a compté dans le vote des Ghanéens ? Non, je ne pense pas. Je pense que ce qui a compté, c'est la question du pouvoir d'achat au quotidien, donc la baisse du pouvoir d'achat liée à l'inflation, mais également la question de l'emploi. Près d'un tiers des jeunes sont sans emploi, en tout cas sans emploi formel. Également, il y a une question de sécurité alimentaire, ce qui est relativement nouveau dans ce pays, avec un recours massif à des importations de plus en plus coûteuses.Vous qui avez été ambassadeur à Accra, comment expliquez-vous que ce pays, depuis 25 ans, soit beaucoup plus stable politiquement que ses trois voisins francophones : la Côte d'Ivoire, le Burkina Faso et le Togo ? Ce pays a une histoire singulière. Tout ce dispositif, les Ghanéens le doivent à Jerry Rawlings. C'est assez paradoxal puisque Rawlings est arrivé à la suite d'un coup d'État. Il a mis 20 ans à installer des institutions qui aujourd'hui font leurs preuves et garantissent le bon fonctionnement de la démocratie. Et puis il y a une autre réalité qui peut paraître paradoxale, c'est le poids relatif des chefferies coutumières. La colonisation britannique au Ghana était très différente de celle que la France a imposée en Côte d'Ivoire, par exemple, et les chefferies traditionnelles occupent encore un rôle important, en particulier l'Asantehene, qui est le roi des Ashanti, qui est installé à Kumasi, une personnalité exceptionnelle que j'ai eu le bonheur de connaitre, et qui joue un rôle régulateur, notamment dans la gestion des conflits intercommunautaires, par le truchement de l'écoute, de la recherche de compromis, de la responsabilisation, qui sont des données tout à fait exceptionnelles qu'on retrouve dans un pays comme le Ghana. Donc les institutions qui aujourd'hui font leurs preuves, j'en vois une très intéressante dans le programme de Mahama, c'est la place qu'il veut réserver aux femmes dans les nominations, puisque au moins un tiers de ces nominations doit être réservé à des femmes.Et l'ancienne ministre de l'Éducation, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, va devenir la vice-présidente du Ghana, ce sera la première femme du pays à accéder à ce poste ?Oui, c'est tout à fait révélateur, si vous voulez, de cette évolution. Et puis ce pays abrite aussi le secrétariat général de la zone de libre-échange continentale qui est un grand projet africain. Et le président Mahama, de son côté, veut poursuivre le travail engagé par son prédécesseur pour intensifier ce rôle du Ghana à l'échelle régionale, sinon à l'échelle continentale.À lire aussiGhana: John Mahama remporte la présidentielle, le candidat du parti au pouvoir reconnaît sa défaite

Artist Ibrahim Mahama ‘time travels' between British colonial and independent Ghana, tracing railway lines across African and European countries in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the 20th century. Ibrahim Mahama is well-known for his large-scale, site-specific installations that speak to the local effects of colonialism, migration, and global economics. Working in Tamale, Kumasi, and Accra, Ghana, he often works with found materials, collected from abandoned places of pre- and post-independence production. Spanning what was then known as the Gold Coast, the Sekondi Locomotive Workshop was built by the British in 1923, to extract and transport resources like cocoa and minerals, the foundations of European colonial wealth and contemporary capitalism. With charcoal and ink drawings, sculptures and film, Ibrahim connects the histories, legacies, and labourers of this now disused railway back to the UK - layering them atop Waverley, one of the nation's busiest train stations, for his first exhibition in Scotland. With Ibrahim's jute sack textile installations, we discuss shared practices of reuse, repurpose, and recycle with El Anatsui, an inspiration from an older generation who is also exhibiting for the first time in the city of Edinburgh. He shares photographs, personal letters, stamps from his archive, highlighting the respect shown to West African leaders like Kwame Nkrumah in countries of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), especially socialist Yugoslavia. Using train carriages as sculptures, galleries, and classrooms back in Tamale, Ibrahim reconstructs Ghana's colonial past to build its future, reversing flows of trade and migration to Africa. We discuss the potential and ‘charge' within these materials which, like bodies, carry lived experience and knowledge, and the complex relationship with lasting architectures and ‘rural cosmopolitanism' in societies today. Ibrahim also shares his collaborations across African and diasporic communities, with craftspeople, weavers, and makers at his Red Clay Studio in northern Ghana, to artists like Anya Paintsil in Manchester. Ibrahim Mahama: Songs about Roses runs at Fruitmarket in Edinburgh until 6 October 2024. A book launch and artist talk takes place on the penultimate day of the exhibition (the day before the exhibition closes). A Spell of Good Things opens at White Cube New York on 5 September 2024. Parliament of Ghosts (2019) continues online via the Whitworth, theVOV, and Vortic Art. And Purple Hibiscus, part of Unravel: The Power & Politics of Textiles in Art, was installed at the Barbican in London through summer 2024. Hear artist Serge Attukwei Clottey live at the Eden Project in Cornwall, on his family's internal migration from Jamestown/Usshertown in British Accra, Ghana, to coastal La (Labadi), Afrogallonism, and his collaborative practice, uplifting his community with upcycled plastic waste, through Noko Y3 Dzen (There's Something in the World) (2018–Now): pod.link/1533637675/episode/8093f81c6a2eaaf7589bb73768e2a20c PRODUCER: Jelena Sofronijevic.

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, delve into the inspiring journey of Albert Owusu-Asare, a visionary fintech leader who journeyed from Kumasi, Ghana to the US, where he co-founded Cadana - a company revolutionizing international payroll systems. With influential roles at Goldman Sachs and Esusu, Albert has harnessed his extensive experience in global finance and consumer banking, empowering employers and employees. Throughout the episode, Albert shares his insights on transforming global payroll systems to reduce fees and compliance challenges, with a focus on leveraging localized payment systems like M-PESA in Africa.

The reality is, there are borders, jurisdictions, and tax laws, and companies like us help navigate these issues.” - 00:04:56 Albert Owusu-Asare“In emerging markets, it's not just the quantum of money, but the velocity of money that matters. A delay in payment can mean school fees are delayed or an elderly person can't access medical care.” - 00:16:45 Albert Owusu-Asare“We aim to make localized payments global by tapping into local networks. Each time you remove an intermediary from a global payment flow, you get speed increments and fee benefits.” - 00:25:30 Albert Owusu-Asare“A key part of our success is trust and mutual respect between co-founders. We're able to debate and make objective decisions quickly because we know we're all coming from a good place.” - 00:29:20 Albert Owusu-Asare“There's an assumption that payroll has to go into a traditional bank. What if I wanted it to go to my cash app or M-Pesa? Payroll systems should decouple from HR admin pay experience.” - 32:14 Albert Owusu-AsareSaaS Leadership LessonsEmbrace Diverse Experiences for Broader Perspectives: Diverse experiences are significant in shaping a comprehensive understanding of global finance.
