IN FOCUS
Since the introduction of the Program of Action to Mitigate the Social Costs of Adjustment (PAMSCAD) in the 1980s in Ghana.

Most poverty strategies led by the government have suffered some form of mismanagement and at times tailored for the wrong beneficiaries. YAFO advances libertarian solutions to poverty by removing government-imposed barriers to prosperity in areas such as education, the criminal justice system, and business regulation.
