Impacts of small-scale mining on hazardous child labour in the Upper West Region, Ghana
Drawing on ecological perspectives on child labour, poverty hypotheses, and the concept of children as household assets as the study’s theoretical basis, this study investigates the impacts of small-scale mining on hazardous child labour in the Upper West Region, Ghana. Using a qualitative research approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 33 purposively selected participants. Data were analysed thematically. A lack of interest in educati…
Citizens' Participation in Local Governance in Ghana
Strategies towards sustainability through technological innovation
This paper examines the role of technological innovation, foreign direct investment (FDI), and industrialization in reducing CO2 emissions in the EU, focusing on the period from 2006 to 2020. Using a balanced panel of 38 EU countries, the study applies the Method of Moments Quantile (MMQ) approach to analyze how these factors influence emissions across different levels of environmental degradation. The MMQ method allows for the investigation of q…
Poverty in the global south
Poverty is a global development challenge. However, its incidence and prevalence rates are higher in specific regions of the Global South. To this end, one of the ways to appreciate the dynamics of poverty is to situate the discussion within the context of geography. Whereas studies are showing that several geographic poverty traps exist in the Global South previous scoping reviews did not give the geography of poverty sufficient consideration, a…
When Does Dispute Resolution Hold? Lessons from Three Ghanaian Case-Studies
Conflicts relating to chieftaincy succession are recurrent among some monarchies in Ghana, and scholars have extensively debated their causes, resolution, and peacebuilding approaches. There have, however, been limited studies into the role that local actors' acceptance or rejection of the selected method of dispute resolution plays in the resolution of chieftaincy disputes. This study fills this gap by using a multiple case study design involvin…
Access to complementary services under Ghana's Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty programme in the Nadowli-Kaleo District
Livelihood empowerment against poverty (LEAP), a social assistance programme, aims to reduce poverty and vulnerability. To this end, complementary services accompany such programmes to accelerate the process. However, a few studies have concentrated on access to complementary services. As such, this study focuses on investigating access to LEAP complementary services employing the mixed-methods design. Data were collected from 229 LEAP beneficiar…
Role of non-governmental organizations in poverty reduction in the global South
Poverty is a global issue, particularly in the Global South. This has made its reduction vital, although official efforts have yielded modest results. As a result, non-state entities such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) arose to supplement the government's poverty reduction initiatives. Even though there have been studies on the role of NGOs in poverty reduction in the Global South, the results remain inconclusive. As such, this study in…
Elite mobilisation and ethnic conflicts
While many researchers have investigated the structural causative factors of ethnic conflict in Ghana, elite mobilisation as a cause of ethnic conflict in Ghana has received less academic attention. This study investigated the role of ethnic elites in the onset of ethnic conflicts within Bawku Traditional Area of Ghana in the context of the General Theory of Ethnic Conflict. A qualitative method, using a grounded theory perspective with a systema…
Collaboration between traditional and central authorities in chieftaincy succession conflicts management in Ghana
Chieftaincy succession conflicts are a near-ubiquitous phenomenon in Ghanaian Chiefdoms. While many studies have investigated the causes and implications of such conflicts, the extent to which traditional and central authorities collaborate in the management of chieftaincy succession conflicts in Ghana is largely understudied. This is the gap in the literature that this study attempted to fill. The study was situated within the frameworks of the …
Assessment of the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty programme in Karaga district, Ghana
This article assesses the contribution of the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme in reducing rural poverty in the Karaga district of Northern Ghana, using a mixed research design to compare the livelihoods of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. It concludes that the programme is contributing to poverty reduction among the poor and vulnerable, and recommends that school children benefiting from LEAP should be exempted from pa…
Poverty reduction in Upper West Region, Ghana
The Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme was established in Ghana to tackle poverty, yet studies on LEAP yielded inconclusive results on its effects. This article reports on an assessment of the effects of LEAP on poverty reduction, using an “after-only” study design. Results suggest that beneficiaries saw improvement in food consumption, income levels, savings levels, access to healthcare, and school attendance following parti…
The challenges and prospects of the school feeding programme in Northern Ghana
There is a general problem of enrolment to basic education in northern Ghana. Available statistics indicate that from 2000–05 only about 42 per cent of qualified applicants of school-going age in the Northern Region were enrolled in basic schools. This paper assesses the implementation of the programme in the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly. The findings showed that, whilst the programme has increased primary school enrolment, the major impediment t…
