Social work is re-evaluation its role in regard to the international areas of global interdependence, in particular with respect to refugee situations. A significant contribution to refugee studies is research concerning refugee issues. This qualitative study highlights the experiences of Liberian refugee women in planning programmes in Ghana. Findings show that individual issues (trauma, lack of encouragement, basic needs and gender issues) and organisational issues (dependency, mismanagement of organisations, communication and power or control) were factors that affected women's participation in planning programmes.
