ABSTRACT The profile gives an overview of the changing trends of sport policies adopted in Ghana and highlights how past political upheavals made it difficult to have stable sport development strategies. Currently, the emergence of different actors within the sport policy sub-system of Ghana is apparent however the reliance on government for the development of sport makes it difficult to decouple party politics from sport development strategy. The profile begins with a detailed account of the emergence of sport from pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial traditions in the history of Ghana. This is followed by an analysis of the current structure of sport and funding patterns and trends. The dominance of football and contemporary issues such as migration, gender equality and disability are also discussed in terms of their impact on policy. The final part highlights the nascent ‘sport for development’ sector in relation to the United Nation’s MDGs and SDGs and how they have influenced sport policy and development in Ghana.

摘要该简介概述了加纳所采用的体育政策的变化趋势，并强调了过去的政治动荡如何使难以制定稳定的体育发展战略。目前，加纳体育政策子系统中出现了不同的参与者，这是显而易见的，但是，由于政府对体育发展的依赖，很难使政党政治与体育发展战略脱钩。简介首先详细介绍了体育运动在加纳历史上从前殖民地，殖民地和后殖民地传统的出现。接下来是对当前体育运动结构，资金模式和趋势的分析。还讨论了足球的统治地位以及诸如移民，性别平等和残疾等当代问题对政策的影响。
