The West African country is struggling to find a way out of its $47.6 billion (£39.5 billion/€44.6 billion) debt.

In order to secure a $3 billion (£2.5 billion/€2.8 billion) loan, the Government has to produce a solid restructuring plan of the debt.

Although thought likely to be awarded the aid from the International Monetary Fund, it has not come quick enough to prevent the postponement of the Accra 2023 African Games.

The capital city is due to stage the continental event for the first time but the historic hosting has been put on hold until March 8 to 23 of next year.

The event has been marred by arguments over whether Ghana is in a strong enough position to host.

Former Ghanaian President John Mahama has led the protests, calling for the cancellation of the event due to the vast costs that come with it.

This is something that does not concern African Paralympic Committee President Samson Deen and his organisation preparing to stage the inaugural African Para Games, also in the Ghanaian capital.

The majority of the venues are already constructed, with just minor work required, for the event scheduled to take place from September 3 to 12.

"The African Para Games has no difficulty in being organised, even if we had to do it in June it is possible," Deen told insidethegames.

"I share this belief with the President of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo who said that it is doable.

"The facilities for the African Para Games are already there, they just need some small upgrades.

"It is not as major as building a whole venue.

"Four of them are indoor – basketball, sitting volleyball, goalball, powerlifting – and we have those facilities available.

"The athletics venue is under construction currently and is due to be available by the end of June and will be available for Ghanaian athletes to start training in."

Although much smaller in scale, with just eight events on the programme compared to the African Games' 23, its impact could be colossal on a social level as well as sporting.

Para sports have developed a strong reputation for driving social inclusion and changing perceptions of disabled people in society.

In addition to people's attitudes, tangible infrastructure changes can also be expected to improve quality of life for disabled people.

It is perhaps unrealistic to expect China-levels of investment after the first edition of the Games but in decades' time it is almost a certainty that accessibility will be put to the forefront of contemporary design.

In the seven years leading up to Beijing 2008, new legislation saw more than $150 million (£124 million/€140 million) on making 14,000 facilities accessible.

Of course, Ghana would not be able to afford anything like that in its current state but it shows the power that Para sports and its potential to transform.

Olympic champion Asafa Powell has also publicly given his support for the Games which will no doubt push it into the mainstream and drive positivity around it.

In addition to the increased awareness, status, and opportunity for disabled people, there is hope that it will help Ghana to attract even more sporting events.

"Sport gives hope and we believe that during the African Para Games, Ghana will now realise the importance of hosting the Games," Deen said.

"It will open the window and eye of the world on Ghana because it is the first and by doing so, the facilities that are being worked on by the Government will also serve as the catalyst to push our athletes forward.

"It is not just Ghanaians that will be able to benefit but the western neighbouring countries who want to use the facilities for their preparation.

"Other countries who want to travel from overseas and use the facilities to train for competitions."

The Games have been well received so far as, including the hosts, 48 of the 54 African countries are set to compete.

It is clear to see there is high demand for such an event, but organisers are hoping of adding real importance and prestige to have it serve as a Paralympic qualifier.

Deen wants to see the Para Games be a part of the bidding process for all future editions of the African Games, which is arranged by the African Union.

"It is my responsibility, as the head of the African Paralympic Committee, to make it happen by making sure that I encourage my Government and head of states in Africa to offer support to key stakeholders in the Paralympic front," Deen said.

"To make sure that they endorse the vision of having the Para Games as part of every bidding programme for the African Games.

"I'm hopeful that by the next bidding begins for the next African Games, the African Paralympic Committee will have a cooperation with the African Union and all 54 nations will endorse it to make sure that Africa has Para Games in parallel like the other continents."

Deen has an almighty challenge on his hands.

If Ghana and the African Paralympic Committee can successfully stage the Games later this year, then it could prove to be the catalyst of remarkable change in years to come.
