Power is key to so many developments and to all major industries in the world of work. As we fly over Ghana we see the immense network of high tension power pylons carrying electricity from major point to major point across the whole nation - sadly we often see such monoliths, with cables strewn across them, passing over and next to villages who are many years from seeing consumer electricity reaching them. Perhaps there should be a policy to send power to communities and organisations that are starting industries in rural areas so that the power is being put to socio-economic developments of the nation? These lines are carrying power from Akosombo towards Koforidua in the Eastern Region. Photo Courtesy Medicine on the Move www,medicineonthemove.org
