In Ghana, the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program, a social assistance initiative, is being implemented to combat poverty. While numerous studies have examined different aspects of LEAP, limited attention has been given to its payment delivery system. This study aimed to evaluate the LEAP grant payment delivery structure using a qual…

Poverty-conflict nexus in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains entangled in the dual challenges of persistent poverty and recurring violent conflicts, which pose significant barriers to the region’s economic and social transformation. Although existing studies predominantly explore how poverty fuels conflict, there has been comparatively less emphasis on how conflict, in turn, is shaped by poverty. Moreover, the current body of literature on the poverty–conflict nexus in SSA …

Role of community based rural development project on livelihood enhancement
The Community-Based Rural Development Project (CBRDP) was initially seen as a panacea for enhancing the well-being of rural communities. However, a dearth of research and the absence of adequate monitoring of the return on investment for CBRDP have prompted the need for this investigation. This study adopted a single case study design and gathered data from 36 participants, including district assembly officials and program beneficiaries, using in…
Citizens' Participation in Local Governance in Ghana
Economic empowerment of persons with disabilities
The disability fund is Ghana’s flagship social protection program for persons with disabilities. While prior studies have explored its impact, they have often treated economic empowerment as a secondary issue. This study specifically assessed the fund’s role in promoting economic self-sufficiency among beneficiaries in the Daffiama-Bussie-Issa District using descriptive and non-parametric methods. The findings indicate that the fund significantly…
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…
Microlevel analysis of how itinerant immigrant entrepreneurs underwrite local economic development in an African city
Itinerant merchants are actively involved in various economic activities within and around African cities, albeit on a small scale. However, there remains a gap in understanding their contribution to host cities’ local economic development (LED). This research aims to fill this gap by examining how itinerant immigrant retailers support LED in host cities, using Wa in Ghana. Recognising their role is essential for informing location-specific devel…

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…
Cultural dynamics and conflict management
Chieftaincy violence and tensions have persisted in most of the Savannah Region's traditional areas, and attempts to resolve them through the formal court system have failed since the parties reject most court decisions. Consequently, this study examined cultural dynamics in conflict management. A multiple case study design was used while data were gathered using interviews and focus group discussions. Thematic and cross‐case analyses were used t…
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…
Dilemma of Basic School Pupils in Northern Ghana with respect to Their Learning Context
