Shadow pandemics
According to United Nations (UN) Women, a ‘shadow pandemic’ (or secondary crisis) occurred alongside COVID-19: increased violence against vulnerable populations (women and older adults (UN Research Roadmap)). While COVID-19–related morbidity and mortality were lower than expected in Sub-Saharan Africa, this region reports the highest global levels of violence experienced by these groups. In order to investigate this shadow pandemic, we undertook …
Constructing alternative interpretation
This paper contributes to the debate on mining policy enforcement and compliance by investigating non-compliance with Ghana's government militarization response to illegal mining activities. Drawing on Lawrence Sherman's defiance theory and using a systematic literature review, this analysis offers an alternative explanation for the persistence and increase of illegal mining in Ghana. Through a conceptual model adapted from the four core psycholo…
A global assessment of actors and their roles in climate change adaptation
An assessment of the global progress in climate change adaptation is urgently needed. Despite a rising awareness that adaptation should involve diverse societal actors and a shared sense of responsibility, little is known about the types of actors, such as state and non-state, and their roles in different types of adaptation responses as well as in different regions. Based on a large n -structured analysis of case studies, we show that, although …

Attention to the needs of women and girls in Wash
There has been a push for understanding gendered violence in WASH in recent times. Attention is therefore shifting to how these issues are conceptualised, considering their embeddedness in context. One step primarily is to understand how existing policies in WASH acknowledge the needs of women and girls in WASH. In doing this, we conducted a summative content analysis of selected policy documents on WASH: five at the international level and five …

Mapping spatial and temporal dynamics in urban growth
Urbanization induced growth of secondary cities presents several issues and challenges for sustainable development. Yet, secondary cities continue to receive less attention from scholars, city planners and policymakers in Africa. Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of secondary cities is critical for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 11. This paper examines the emerging spatial and temporal evolution of two secondary cities in No…
Contested urban spaces in unplanned urbanization
Determinants of food insecurity among elderly people
Food insecurity among elderly people is a major public health concern due to its association with several health conditions. Despite growing research and implementation of diverse income-based policy measures, food insecurity among elderly people remains a major policy issue in Canada. Additional research could inform food policy beyond strategies that target improving the financial resources of elderly people. Drawing data from the Canadian Comm…

Factors Associated with Levels of Latrine Completion and Consequent Latrine Use in Northern Ghana
Open defecation is still a major health problem in developing countries. While enormous empirical research exists on latrine coverage, little is known about households' latrine construction and usage behaviours. Using field observation and survey data collected from 1523 households in 132 communities in northern Ghana after 16 months of implementation of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), this paper assessed the factors associated with latrin…

Doing it ‘ourselves’
Self-organisation in urban spatial planning
There is growing interest among spatial planners to see spontaneous civic initiatives supporting urban development. The occurrence of self-organisation in two informal settlements in Greater Accra Metropolitan Area, Ghana is considered. The system theories of self-organisation (dissipative structures, synegertics and autopoietic) and actor-network theory were used to analyse the two cases. The findings indicate that actors in these informal settl…
Spatial Planning in Ghana
The purpose of this research is twofold: to explore the complexity of spatial plan preparation and implementation in Ghana using Kumasi as a case study; and second, to examine the contradictions of spatial plans and ‘actual development’ occurring in Kumasi. Using social science research methods (semi-structured interviews) and physical survey (land use plans), findings indicate that spatial planning in Kumasi is a bureaucratic process hijacked by…
