  6. strategy, allowing different stakeholders to share and thus to promote their empowerment
  7. information, thoughts and ideas. It is also the investigation and creation of
  8. new knowledge that must be developed in order to deal with circumstances, which
  9. is not simply the sharing of information and experience. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  12. community-driven development but it may, regardless of the variety of the
  13. groups engaged, be utilized at all levels of decision-making (local, national,
  14. international). In this essay, we will highlight the six participatory stages
  15. in a development communication-based campaign and the role of communication in
  16. achieving the desired behaviour. They are as follows:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  27. may be carried out through participatory rural communication evaluation (PRCA).
  28. In participatory rural communications assessments three types of analysis that are
  29. carried out: public analysis, program analysis, and situation analysis.
  30. Audience analysis basically &quot;listens&quot; to what prospective information
  31. consumers require. They are the ones to be reached by the communication
  32. campaign. Information users are sometimes called communication stakeholders. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  35. stakeholders is an important first step towards creating a plan for
  36. communication. The division of major stakeholder groups into smaller groups
  37. helps to concentrate on the creation of communication strategy. Segmentation
  38. typically takes two different forms which is both conventional segmentation and
  39. innovative segmentation. Conventional segmentation is based on the
  40. socio-economic status of the population, such as income, education, age and
  41. sex, just to mention a few while Innovative segmentation is based on needs,
  42. values, and lifestyles segmentation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  53. understood as a basis of the communication strategy. Communication strategy
  54. consists of the mix of techniques, messages and approaches through which the
  55. planner aims at achieving communication objectives. In the second phase, the
  56. communication program is directed. It is at this phase that goals and relevant
  57. monitoring and evaluation criteria and indicators are established. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  58.  
  59. &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Work Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;The term strategy itself implies that the program
  60. goals are achieved via a unique mix of methods or approaches. The planners will
  61. also start to reflect upon the Preliminary Action Plan, the means of
  62. communication, and basic messages and topics for debate during strategy
  63. drafting.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  64.

  66. themes&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  68. &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Work Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;The primary tasks in the message design phase are the
  69. selection of message appeals, methods and communication channels and media
  70. choices. The major difficulty at the present time is the creation of the great
  71. idea or the creative concept that revolves around the whole communication
  72. programme. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  73.  
  74. &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Work Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;&quot;&gt;Professional communication equipment is frequently
  75. used to produce communication messages and materials for the following
  76. activities. Apart from the enormous costs required, the drawback of this method
  77. is that the participants themselves do not participate. Involving stakeholders
  78. in the creation of messages and materials is likely to contribute to higher
  79. development objectives by the communication program.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  90. materials is carried out after the communication strategy has been established.
  91. The significance of not just the materials but also creative ideas and messages
  92. being pre-tested is a helpful reminder to planers. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  95. adjusted before significant time, efforts and resources are used to produce
  96. them. The testing evaluates the possible efficacy of communication messages,
  97. techniques and materials in order to attract attention, to be understood, to be
  98. accepted and to provide a sense of self participation among the stakeholders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Work Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  103. organization at this stage is two of the most essential tasks. The internal job
  104. of a manager is to prepare or train individuals in a good organizational
  105. environment for their various duties inside the organisation. The external job
  106. involves the establishment of links with important organizations working in the
  107. same field. Now, the start and execution of the communication campaign or
  108. program is a priority after all the preceding phases. The distribution, transfer
  109. and receipt of program inputs are monitored together. The management side also
  110. includes the process of managerial improvement and leadership as it affects the
  111. delivery of communications.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  130. indicators based on the goals stated in order to assist measure the program&#39;s
  131. effect on stakeholders. How much have the activities helped the major
  132. organizations achieve their objectives? This may be measured by comparing assessments
  133. with baseline data, in particular those collected during the participatory
  134. evaluation of rural communication. More significantly, surveillance and

  138. sharing of information and experiences: it is also the discovery and creation
  139. of new knowledge that has to be developed in order to respond to circumstances.
  140. Participatory information often is related to community-driven development but

  154.  
  155. &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Work Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Today,
  156. Junior turns 30 years old. Junior also starts a new job today. His monthly net
  157. salary, payable at the end of the month, is Ghc2,000. Junior’s boss has been
  158. impressed by Junior’s competences during the interview, and has offered him a
  159. monthly raise of 0.1%, effective as of Junior’s second month on the job.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  160.  
  161. &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Work Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Junior’s
  162. average monthly expenses are currently Ghc750, but Junior expects his monthly
  163. expenses to grow at an annual effective rate of 1%, starting next month (i.e.
  164. Junior’s second month on his new job). Junior’s expenses will continue to grow
  165. at that rate until Junior retires. There are no other expenses. Junior saves
  166. 80% of his disposable income (that is, his salary, minus expenses).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  175. invests all his savings in a security that guarantees a 6% effective annual
  176. return. Besides the savings described here, Junior has no other savings. The
  177. adequate rate of return to calculate the present and future value of cash flows
  178. is 6%, annual effective.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  179.  
  180. &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Work Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;On
  181. the day Junior turns 65 years old, he will retire. Junior will invest all his
  182. accumulated savings and the proceeds from the sale of the condo in a security
  183. that guarantees a return of 3% effective annual. Junior is convinced that he
  184. will die on the day of his 88th birthday. He wishes to leave a Ghc100,000
  185. bequest to the Lost Cats Trust. Junior will also buy one gold ring on each of
  186. his 75th and 85th birthdays. Each ring costs Ghc10,000.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  507. and the&amp;nbsp;International Monetary Fund (IMF)&amp;nbsp;to avoid interfering in
  508. Ghana’s domestic policies, particularly concerning cultural and social issues
  509. such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://ghananews.hrforum.uk/2021/12/homosexuality-is-a-mental-disorder-not-biological-dr-osei-109.html&quot;&gt;LGBTQ+ rights&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  512. in an interview with Bloomberg’s&amp;nbsp;Next Africa, Mahama argued that
  513. multilateral institutions should focus on their economic mandates rather than
  514. attempting to influence cultural values in Ghana.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  515.

  517. institutions should avoid getting into cultural matters,” President Mahama stated
  518. bluntly in a recent Bloomberg interview. “This is a diverse world. We have
  519. different cultures.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  522. comments come amid speculation that organizations like the World Bank and
  523. International Monetary Fund (IMF) might withdraw funding if Ghana passes&amp;nbsp;controversial
  524. anti-LGBTQ+ legislation&amp;nbsp;that is being considered for revival in
  525. parliament.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  534. directly asked about potential financial consequences should the bill become
  535. law, Mahama remained defiant: “If they decide to pull [funding], well, it’s
  536. their prerogative. But I don’t believe that multilateral institutions like the
  537. World Bank and IMF should include in their mandates how people behave culturally.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  543. previous version of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill expired after facing legal challenges
  544. and failing to receive presidential assent. Mahama clarified that although the
  545. legal challenge was eventually dismissed, the bill lapsed because it wasn’t
  546. signed into law.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  549. any new version of the bill, Mahama advocated for broader stakeholder
  550. consultation. “What we need is more stakeholder consultation to look at
  551. whatever new bill will come and make sure that we carry everybody on board,” he
  552. explained.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  632. must be abolished and as Finance Minister, I will abolish it in my first budget

  1133. Otumfuo, Otumfuo gave him a certain book which contains the vision of
