As communities along Ghana’s 550-kilometer coastline face increasingly severe tidal wave events and inland regions recover from the devastating Akosombo Dam spillage of 2023, the wisdom in Benjamin Franklin’s observation that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” has never been more relevant to our national discourse.

The paper documents how implementation delays for the Blekusu Sea Defence Project increased costs by over 60%.
