Lived experiences of female ride hailing drivers and the dynamics of opportunity and risk in Ghana
The transport industry in many West African countries has been seen as a male-dominated sector with very little female participation. The recent introduction of ride-hailing platforms has allowed several female drivers to penetrate the business space and make some impact on family income, and they have been confronted with some challenges that could impact their sustainability. This qualitative study examines the lived experiences of female ride-…
Effects of digital agriculture solutions on smallscale wage workers and employment
The study examined how the use of digital agriculture solutions affected farm worker pay and on-farm employment. Data gathered, was from 1,199 randomly sampled Small-scale farmers in the Bono East Region of Ghana.

Workaholism among young people in the ride-hailing travel economy
The effects of precarious jobs on young people's well-being could be enduring. Research into the causes of harmful working behaviours among young people in the ride-hailing economy is limited. We used qualitative data from 40 ethnographic in-depth interviews with drivers in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and South Africa to explore the root causes of workaholism among them and, in turn, proposed a typology. The framing of the typology was guided by th…

Market women’s informal peacebuilding efforts in Ekumfi-Narkwa, Ghana
This study examines market women’s participation in peacebuilding in the Ekumfi-Narkwa community in the Central Region of Ghana. In peacebuilding, women are often considered victims and passive targets for aid, rather than contributors to the process. Many studies and peacebuilders have neglected the critical role played by women in the informal sector in peacebuilding, especially at the local level. This study examines how local women help build…
Chieftaincy Conflicts in Northern Ghana
Chieftaincy conflicts in Ghana are often presented as disputes involving rival groups over succession to traditional political power. However, chieftaincy conflicts are complex and often shaped by constellation of different actors, national and local level politics and elite maneuvering. This paper argues that chieftaincy conflicts go beyond the structural interpretations of competition and contestation for traditional power, but rather processua…
Diversity and Multiple Drivers of Pastoral Fulani Migration to Ghana
The relationship between environmental change and migration has generated considerable scholarly debate. In part the literature suggests that climate change in the Sahel is ‘forcing’ pastoralist groups (mainly Fulani) to migrate to semi-arid West African countries, including Ghana, due to resource scarcity and climatic conditions. Using interviews, focus-group discussions and observations, this article argues that beyond theoretical postulations …
