This study provides a diagnostic of the benefit incidence and
targeting performance of a large number of social programs in
Ghana. Both broad-based programs (such as spending for education
and health, and subsidies for food, oil-related products and
electricity) as well as targetd programs (such as LEAP, the
indigent exemption under the NHIS, school lunches and uniforms, or
fertilizer subsidies) are considered. In addition, the study
provides tools and recommendations for better targeting of those
programs in the future. The tools include new maps and data sets
for geographic targeting according to poverty and food security, as
well as ways to implement proxy means-testing. The purpose of this
introductory chapter is to provide a brief synthesis of the key
findings and messages from the study. This volume discusses the
level of Dutch individual involvement in culture (various forms of
arts and cultural heritage). Trends in participation are treated
against the background of what the cultural field offers the Dutch
population. In addition to "cultural consumption" (visiting a
theater or going to the movies) this work also views active
creative activity (painting, playing music, acting) and the use of
the mass media for cultural purposes. Women appear to be more
interested in most cultural forms than are men; highly educated
people participate more than those with lower levels of education,
although participation levels of the higher educated are declining
somewhat; and, among the middle aged, popular rather than high arts
are on the rise. The book concludes by discussing scenarios for a
future in which the cultural field faces increased competition over
the leisure time of Dutch citizens. Frank Huysmans, Andries van den
Broek and Jos de Haan are part of the research group on Time, Media
and Culture of the Social and Cultural Planning Office in The
Hague, Netherlands.
