Former Black Queens coach Isaac Paha says the Ghana Football Association don't believe in continuity and this has contributed to the poor form of the female national team.
The Queens have been runners-up in three of the first five editions of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon), having featured at three successive World Cups.
However, the team has failed to build on this success as the likes of Morocco, current Wafcon holders South Africa and Zambia have all invested hugely in women's football, so leaving the Queens behind.
"The problem is that the authorities don't believe in continuity," Isaac Paha, Black Queens coach from 2004 to 2008, told BBC Sport Africa.
"Once you reach a certain level, they bring in another person to take over. As a coach, when you take a team and start preparing younger players to join, you realise you have a better opportunity to take them forward than a new coach."
Ghana have not appeared at a World Cup finals since the 2007 World Cup.
