Studies have investigated the sustainability of the project and the levels of participation in the management of t…
Women farmers’ perceived indices of occurrence and severity of observed climate extremes in rural Savannah, Ghana
Urbanization, agricultural land use change and livelihood adaptation strategies in peri-urban Wa, Ghana
Enhancing the adaptive capacity of pro-poor populations for climate change adaptation
Social cash transfer (SCT) has been recognised as an essential social policy intervention to address poverty and vulnerability. The policy intervention has also been observed as a critical package for reducing climate risks. Using the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program in Ghana, the study investigates the role of SCT to climate change adaptation in rural Ghana. The study employs a mixed-method study using interview schedule and…
Women in ginger production and livelihood sustainability in rural Ghana
Sustainable development and sustainability have taken centre stage in national and international discussions in recent years. Empirical evidence suggests that sustainability of development endeavours and livelihood are crucial for sustainable development. In Ghana, studies have found the role of food crop production in livelihood sustainability of farmers. Ginger farming is one crop that is not fully embraced in Ghana, and as a result its product…
Common-pool community resource use
The Hardian solutions to the excessive abuses of common-pool resources are still being contested. However, studies on governance and management of community irrigation facilities as a “common” in developing countries is limited. Contributing to literature on irrigation water management in the Global South, this paper examines the role of communities in the governance and management of small-scale irrigation dams in the Upper East Region of Ghana.…
Indigenous knowledge indicators in determining climate variability in rural Ghana
Climate variability has become a critical issue for rural farmers in Ghana due to its impacts on factors responsible for agricultural food production. The aim of this research was to investigate indigenous knowledge indicators in determining climate variability in rural Ghana.. A descriptive case study using mixed-methods was employed. Questionnaire and interviews were used to gather the data from 211 household heads across six study communities.…
Evidence-based practice and rural health service delivery
Evidence-based practice (EBP) has gained appreciable recognition in health service delivery. Knowledge about EBP in developing countries, however, appears to be limited, despite practitioners’ understanding of the concept having a high propensity to influence adoption and implementation. This article presents findings from research conducted to investigate clinicians’ knowledge and barriers to EBP adoption in Ghana. Criterion purposive sampling w…
