Gender, land rights and climate change adaptation in Ghana
Central transfers and incentives to collect local revenue among the Central Region of Ghana’s local government officials
Local governments that rely heavily on central transfers are likely to face a laxity problem when increasing locally generated revenues. The flypaper effect identifies this overdependence by examining the relationship between local expenditures and revenues (central transfers and locally generated). Local governments in Ghana depend on central transfers and locally generated revenues to finance local development. Central transfers are important b…
The influence of climate change perception, experience and emotions on youths’ participation in agriculture and agribusiness
Promoting youths’ participation in agriculture and agribusiness in Africa is a policy priority among many of the continent’s governments and development partners. Yet, such policy priority can be hampered due to the severe impacts of climate extremes on the agriculture sector. The overarching objective of this study is to understand how the continent’s climate vulnerability affects youth’s decision to participate in agriculture and agribusiness. …
Navigating between local visions and goals of national policies for sustainable land management in Ghana
This study sought to understand the extent to which goals of national land policies are reflective of the visions of diverse land users for sustainable land management in northern Ghana. The study is qualitative and employs semi-structured interviews, a multi-stakeholder workshop, and document reviews, to unpack the synergies between national land policies and stakeholders’ visions for sustainable land management in northern Ghana. The study find…
Agricultural knowledge and youth participation in agriculture and agribusiness in an African context
This study examines youths’ decision to participate in agriculture and agribusiness from an agricultural knowledge lens. Data collected from 520 respondents across Ghana were analysed descriptively and inferentially. The results show the influence of different levels of science-based (objective) agricultural knowledge on youths’ participation in agriculture and agribusiness, in addition to subject knowledge. Similarly, the findings reveal that ge…
Enhancing rural Ghanaian women's economic empowerment
Grounded in a qualitative case study design and relying on key informant interviews and focus group discussion, this study assesses the influence of the cassava dough enterprise on women’s economic empowerment in a rural Ghanaian community. Women in the study community are marginalised in accessing arable land, which is a critical livelihood asset. Cassava dough processing, which is a women-dominated activity, has become an alternative and lucrat…
Achieving food security in Ghana
This study complements the extant literature by assessing the role of governance dynamics in food security in Ghana for the period 1980–2019. The empirical evidence is based on the fully modified ordinary least squares technique and governance is categorized into political (entailing political stability and voice and accountability), economical (consisting of regulatory quality and government effectiveness), and institutional (entailing corruptio…
Flypaper effects of Central Transfers on the spending behaviour of Ghana’s central region local governments
Fiscal system incentivises local government officials to depend on central government’s transfers to fund their budgets. This paper examines whether district and municipal status local government officials exhibit the same spending behaviour when presented with central government’s transfers. The paper uses the panel data model to estimate the flypaper effect on district and municipal status local governments in the Central Region of Ghana from 2…
Public choice and decentralised healthcare service delivery in Lesotho
Providing efficient decentralised local public services such as healthcare in hard to reach and remote areas has been the recent concern of public finance experts. Thus public finance theory, the public choice, has been devoted to explain the link between decentralised local public service delivery and efficiency. The theory argues that efficient delivery of decentralised local public service is achieved through the proximity advantage of local m…
Determinants of Covid-19 Response Strategies in Selected African Countries
Using protection motivation theory as the theoretical framework, this study investigates the factors that motivate COVID-19 response in Ghana, Cameroon, Lesotho and Uganda. Through simple random and snowball sampling techniques, 651 participants were selected. The study collected data with the aid of a survey questionnaire, which was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results show high perceived COVID-19 threats among the re…
