Predictors of Local Non-Governmental Organisations’ (NGOs’) Adoption of Self-Regulation in Ghana
Self-regulation has emerged as one of the strategies employed by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to address their legitimacy crisis resulting from the lack of accountability and transparency in countries with weak government regulatory frameworks. However, our understanding of the predictors of local NGOs’ adoption of self-regulation in contexts of weak government regulations remains limited. Drawing on the concept of isomorphism and resour…

Multidimensional Child Poverty in Ghana
Early childhood deprivations and inequalities have social and economic implications in adulthood and thus, their elimination is essential for child development. However, child-level estimates of poverty are rare in low income countries. Using data from two recent rounds of the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey, we measure the extent and sources of childhood deprivations in Ghana and examine subgroup differentials in child poverty. In addition, …

At the domestic level, the country has formulated and implemented policies that seek to improve the lives of elderly. Using mainly secondary data and also analysis of research conducted at Ga Mashie in the Greater Accra Region, the paper provides a narrative review of the existing legal framework and the role of state institutions in…
