On this page we present, in a succinct manner, the policy positions of John Evans Atta Mills on the Economy, Education, and Health. These positions are developed in some detail to permit the visitor to understand the social, economic, political, and analytical basis for these positions. We limit the (relatively) detailed presentation of the his positions to these three domains in order not to overload the agenda.

We believe that, even though the presentations are intentionally very brief, Atta Mills’ positions on the economy, education, and health are sufficiently defining that visitors to this site can have a reasonably complete view of what the his policy agenda will be when he assumes the Presidency in January 2009.

Professor Atta Mills has, however, been a public figure and political activist for close to two decades in Ghana and has, over the period, expressed views on a myriad of policy areas spanning: Law and Order, Trade and Commerce, Support to the Private Sector, Youth and Leadership, ICT and E-Governance, Labor and Employment, Democracy and the Funding of Political parties, and Ghana’s Foreign Policy. The most germane of these views are presented in quotation form under the fourth heading, “Other Policy Positions”.

It is important for the visitor to the site to note that these policy positions of Professor Atta Mills are not cast in stone. As we pointed out in our statement on the Home Page, the purpose of putting the Professor’s policy position the in the public domain is to invite the visitor to the site to make a contribution to the development and refinement of these policies.

It is our hope that the Professor’s vision will be debated, questioned, endorsed, or embellished, and thus become a shared vision around which Ghanaians (irrespective of their political party affiliations) as well as the friends of Ghana can rally. We further hope that your contributions to the shared vision may lead to the identification of actions that can (and should) be monitored, as well as tangible results that an Atta Mills Presidency should aim for.
