I Sacrificed My Values to Fit In’
Adolescence represents a critical phase for identity formation and sexual development, yet vulnerability obfuscates these experiences, particularly for female adolescents. This paper describes how vulnerability and social pressures ‘sponsor’ sexual debut among female adolescents in cohabiting unions in Aboabo, Kumasi, Ghana. Using a narrative analysis, textual data were obtained from 12 female adolescents via interviews, centring on their sexuali…
Institutional complexities and power structures
Legal pluralism is a central feature of urban land governance across cities in the Global South, generating interaction between customary and state institutions. While land governance challenges in developing countries are well-documented in scholarship, the precise mechanisms that create the contested institutional field through which negotiations among actors produce urban spatial outcomes remain underexplored. This study examines how diverse r…

Dynamics of health information-seeking behaviour among older adults with very low incomes in Ghana
An adequate and reliable source of information is essential to promoting the health of older people. Their inability to secure the right health information could further worsen their health status. Thus, the study provides the need for appropriate health policy interventions on the sources and types of health information sought by older adults with very low incomes in Ghana. Healthcare providers are recommended to remain open, friendly and recept…
Sustainability of slum upgrading interventions
A system view of smart mobility and its implications for Ghanaian cities
Let’s talk about money”
The findings contribute to our understanding of how poor older people finance their healthcare in rural Ghana. We argue that health stakeholders should strengthen healthcare financing mechanisms for poor older people for optimal healthcare use
Barriers to formal healthcare utilisation among poor older people under the livelihood empowerment against poverty programme in the Atwima Nwabiagya District of Ghana
Considering these barriers, removing them would require concerted efforts and substantial financial investment by stakeholders. We argue that improvement in rural transport services, implementation of free healthcare for poor older people, strengthening of family support systems, recruitment of language translators at the health facilities and establishment of attitudinal change programmes would lessen barriers to formal healthcare use among poor…
