Picture this! Vulnerable women’s perspectives on SDGs prioritisation
This study examines the most significant development risk women at risk of being left behind in the SDGs implementation experience. It uses the photovoice method and the social amplification of risk framework (SARF) to highlight development risks in participants’ everyday lives that increase their likelihood of being left behind. The findings demonstrate that while the challenges faced by at-risk individuals can be complex, frameworks such as the…
SDG dilemma in local policymaking in Ghana
How to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a dilemma for policymakers. While the broad SDG framework provides a comprehensive blueprint for development, implementing the integrated SDGs remains a challenge in many contexts, especially where resources are limited. Moreover, employing selectivity and prioritization in implementation presents the risk of overlooking the most transformative goals. This paper examines whether local p…
Harnessing the tenets of health promotion and wise reasoning in managing the Covid-19 pandemic in Ghana and similar contexts
The emergence of COVID-19 in December 2019 produced new geographic spaces characterized by physical and social distancing with concomitant surprises. In Ghana, management of the first and second waves of the pandemic garnered mixed reactions from the populace. Against these perspectives, this commentary explored the critical role of health promotion and wise reasoning tenets in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana, specifically through the…
The double return experience
What motivates Ghanaian migrants who return from Canada, with the intention to settle permanently in Ghana, to move back to Canada? This study answers this question by exploring the lived experiences of Ghanaian migrants involved in double return migration. Using semi-structured interviews with Ghanaian migrants residing in the Greater Toronto Area, the paper demonstrates the complexity of a double return (return to Ghana and second return to Can…
New Wine in Old Wineskins?’—Understanding the Framing of SDGs in the Local Government Context in Ghana
This study examines local government officials’ perspectives on framing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Ghanaian context. The emerging themes suggest a dualistic framing of the SDGs by local actors, with the SDGs framed, on the one hand, as part of ongoing development programming and, on the other hand, as a framework that facilitates local development and provides a standard for local development. Framing the SDGs as ‘new wine’ i…
Harnessing ‘communities of practice’ for local development and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek to address some of the most critical contemporary global challenges in a 17-goal agenda, including poverty, inequality, global environmental and climate crises. Central to these goals is Goal 17, ‘Partnership for the SDGs’ which forms the core framework for implementation of SDGs across scale. After the first five years of implementation, remarkable progress has been recorded globally; …
Assessing how rural-urban migration is incorporated in Ghana’s national urban policy
Urbanisation is increasingly recognised as one of the pressing global issues. As a result, managing contemporary and future urban processes to produce sustainable outcomes has become a preoccupation of policy analysts, academics, and urban planners. Urbanisation can either produce positive or negative outcomes depending on how authorities and stakeholders at all levels manage it. In African context, several national governments have formulated an…
Residential satisfaction in deprived urban neighbourhoods
Planning and managing urbanization in the twenty-first century
In recent times, African governments have been adopting explicit National Urban Policies (NUPs). The adoption of NUPs is a sharp contrast to the past when some governments were ambivalent to it.Focusing on eight (8) African countries-South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda, we undertook systematic content analysis of the written policy documents for each country. African governments recognise the need for coordina…
They say these are places for criminals, but this is our home’
In developing countries, people living in informal settlements are subjected to different forms of coercive control such as threats of evictions, exclusion, blocked access to urban services and other types of structural violence. These coercive measures are legitimised through the discursive branding of informal settlements as ‘unplanned’, ‘disorderly’ and ‘dangerous’ neighbourhoods. This paper examines how people living in these denigrated neigh…
Reflections from Cross-Gender Fieldwork Experiences in Open Markets in Ghana
Fieldwork can be an enjoyable academic adventure producing lifelong experiences of excitement and a sense of academic accomplishment. However, it can be an equally frustrating undertaking, especially when carried out in 'unfamiliar' environments. This paper adds to the growing number of studies about fieldworkers' experiences by reflecting on the complexities involved in the process and proffering ways to respond to them. We share our perspective…
