• VAT In Africa: The Ghana Experience

    This book explores how VAT works in Ghana and why it hasn’t lived up to its full revenue potential. In this book, you will learn how the VAT system replaced older taxes, the laws that shaped it, and how it has changed over time.
    It breaks down how VAT is collected, why straight levies distorted it, and how political decisions impact its structure.
    The book also explains how Ghana’s tax agencies evolved, merged, and reformed to improve VAT administration.
    If you’re interested in tax policy, revenue systems, or African fiscal reforms, this book offers detailed insights backed by real examples from Ghana.

  • My Journey: The Life of a Health Practice Dohyen

    As I went through page by page, Dr. Adibo brought to mind the vivid memories of a rural childhood that evoked the nostalgia of the formative years of those of us brought up in remote villages. It is to Dr. Moses Adibo’s immortal memory, (he is still alive as I write this) and credit that he has documented his life history so that younger generations can learn from his perseverance, experience, successes, failures, and what makes man whole. This book is a must-read for academics, policymakers, students of medicine, practicing medical professionals, Teachers, motivational speakers, and all who desire knowledge.

    Eric Mensah Ametor-Quarmyne, Journalist and Retired Public Servant

     

    How wonderful that this book has been written. Dr. Moses Adibo is a giant amongst public health figures – for saving numerous Ghanaian lives, for sparking international interest in Ghana’s Ministry of Health, and perhaps most strikingly, for encouraging health workers from Ghana and far beyond to make the best of themselves in this vital field. Male or female; doctor, nurse, or something else; Ghanaian or not, here was a public health leader who encouraged others to excel. It is no surprise that in his chapter on being Director of Medical Services, he says one of his first two thoughts on getting the job was “Let’s build a team”. This book should be a bestseller.

    Dr. Moses Adibo has defied the social “law of gravity” to write this memoir with impeccable clarity, still in his Nineties. Once you start reading this Memoir you never want to stop. An extraordinary piece of work that vividly reflects a life of service, sacrifice, and commitment to excellence. Dr. Moses Adibo has demonstrated to the youth how to give “your all” to your country and humanity and remain sane.

    Dr. Toni Aubynn Esq., Former CEO, The Minerals Commission of Ghana

     

    Dr. Moses Adibo: a man of great vision, conviction, perseverance, and courage. His achievements are huge and wide-ranging. However, his leadership in identifying and addressing challenges in delivering health services by creating an army of highly motivated and well-trained health professionals working as teams in provinces and districts is particularly remarkable. It has been my privilege to witness Dr. Adibo’s innovative strategies coming to fruition. I am thankful that he has written a book that captures significant moments in the development of Ghana’s health system and beyond an extraordinary memoir of an extraordinary life.
