Who controls Redd+ in West Africa
Geographers continue to analyze the politics of forest carbon offset projects, often emphasizing local-global and global North-Global South spatialities. Regional spatiality of the forest carbon economy remains largely unexplored, despite the analytical opportunities it offers. Drawing on analysis of data from ten (10) carbon offset registries, we map the uneven regional geographies of forest carbon offset projects (or REDD+ type projects) in Wes…
The evolving role of Ghanaian hospital social workers
Hospital social workers in Ghana complement the work of other health professionals in addressing patients’ needs. However, their contributions are constrained by systemic challenges, including unclear role definitions, limited recognition, and insufficient resources. This exploratory qualitative study explores the experiences of hospital social workers across various Ghanaian hospitals. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with e…
Asset or liability
This paper explores students’ perceptions of faculty-mentored research by drawing on the experiences of final year undergraduates sampled from a public university in Ghana. Embedded in a qualitative approach, the paper employs the cognitive interest and expectancy value theories, which model interests and satisfaction as predictors of affection and/or disaffection for an activity respectively. From these theoretical viewpoints, the paper argues t…
The last cityscapes
Land is inelastic in supply. The judicious use of land within the urban land space is thus critical. Regrettably, little research has been done on planning and managing public cemeteries in Kumasi, Ghana. This study, incorporating insights from four public cemeteries and feedback from 79 participants, assesses the legislative and policy frameworks governing cemetery management in Kumasi. It also examines the condition of these cemeteries and iden…
Unit Committees and Participation in Community Development
The unit committee in Ghana's local government is believed to facilitate participatory development. After decades of practice, there is little research on the unit committee's role in participatory development. This paper contributes to this research gap by drawing on the experiences of participants sampled from the Kumasi Metropolitan and Ahafo Ano South-west districts. The paper argues that the unit committee-participatory development interface…
Celebrity worship
In an era where celebrity influence shapes the lives of young people worldwide, understanding its impact on adolescents has never been more critical. This study explores the growing phenomenon of celebrity worship among Ghanaian adolescents by employing an exploratory research design. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 adolescents who were conveniently sampled. Interpretative phenomenological analysis approach …
Domestic conflict as a possible outcome of gender role change
The patriarchal power system that dominates most societies creates an inherent conflict. With the recent gender-transformative drives however, the capacity of most women has been strengthened, through access to education and paid work, enabling them to have access to and control over certain resources and power they were previously denied. This new resource and power redistribution within the household is often assumed to have the potential to cr…
Motivations for participating in community development in rural and urban Ghana
This paper examines the motivations for participating in community development in rural and urban districts in Ghana. Participation resulted from three motivations: shared responsibility, good of the community and requirement of a good citizen. The paper found no statistically significant difference between motivations and gender, age and education. However, there was a statistically significant difference between motivations and location. The pa…

Examining the impact of customary land secretariats on decentralised land governance in Ghana
The complexities of customary land tenure continue to dominate academic and policy debates on sustainable land management particularly in the sub-Saharan African context. Central to the raging debate is the idea of harmonizing the disparate customary and statutory tenure systems to afford clarity, certainty and safeguard tenure security of landholders. Towards this end, proponents have endorsed Customary Land Secretariats (CLSs) as an interface b…
