Sen mentions in several of his essays different fields, which include a more diverse selection of factors than the poverty evaluation. He states: I have tried to explore the possibility of using the capability perspective for analysing other social issues, such as well-being and poverty (Sen, 1982a, 1983c, 1985b), liberty and freedom (Sen, 1983a, 1988a, 1992), living standards and development (Sen, 1983b, 1984, 1987b, 1988b), gender bias and sexual

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF WORLD BANK’S STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM (SAP) IN GHANA INTRODUCTION: Writing about the negative impacts of The World Bank Structural Adjustment Program in Ghana, my country of origin is something I can do with my eyes closed, because being an ordinary Ghanaian, born and raised in Ghana, I do not need a research to know what these institutions have done to the developing countries they impose their ill intended programs on.
