Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.

| Ghana celebrated its 50th independence anniversary in 2007. In assessing the country’s development, several scholars agree that the country could have fared far better than it did in fifty years of independence. This panel takes an in-depth view at the challenges confronting the country in its development efforts and government planning. The focus will mainly be on solutions - the how to make things work better in planning rather than a critique of what is presently in place. The objective is to improve and maximize benefits in social planning and social development efforts of state organs. The panel is about innovations and barrier crossing; it will be about how to confront present planning challenges in the context of globalization. The panel is seeking papers that challenge Ghanaians to stop blaming others, take the country’s destiny into their own hands, urge Government to step up its action and be ready to accommodate private initiatives through proper planning and administration of services but also seek meaningful partnerships globally. Papers that focus on effective solutions in areas such as leadership in nation building; democracy and good governance; negotiations, trade and international relations; education for work and living; health, security and social welfare; agriculture and food security; rural development, mobility and transportation; innovation and technology; and, branding Ghana for 2015 are all welcome on this panel. Selected papers from the panel will be published in a volume of the same title as the panel to be edited by Professor Nana Apt. |
