The Deputy General Secretary of the General Agricultural Workers Union (GAWU), Mr Edward Kareweh, has called on government to reassess the export-led development strategy to make it more effective for accelerated development.
He entreated government to search for alternative development strategies with well-defined roles to create linkages between the public and private sectors.
Mr Kareweh said this at the celebration of the 50th Milestone of GAWU at Hohoe in the Volta Region.
He said the union is drawing quick lessons from the pervasive global crises in food, financial and economic downturn and climate change.
He said these were vivid pointers to strategic planning towards ameliorating its effects on agriculture.
Mr Kareweh admonished Ghanaians to rally behind key advocacy demands of GAWU to make government more accountable to the masses.
