  • How social cash transfers reach beneficiaries in Ghana

    Open AccessAlhassan Nadi, Moses Naiim Fuseini et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Human Dynamics2026

    Social cash transfer has become one of the pathways to reducing poverty in developing countries. 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

    Open AccessMoses Naiim Fuseini, Kaderi Noagah Bukari et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2025

    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 …

  • Poverty in the global south

    Open AccessMoses Naiim Fuseini, Francis Enu‐kwesi et al.ARTICLECogent Social Sciences2024

    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

    Ibrahim Abu Abdulai, Moses Naiim Fuseini et al.ARTICLEDevelopment Southern Africa2024

    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…

  • Urban livestock rearing and the paradox of sustainable cities and urban governance in West Africa

    Open AccessIbrahim Abu Abdulai, Alfred Dongzagla et al.ARTICLEUrban Governance2023Referências: 4

    Although inner-city livestock rearing provides households with food security and cash income opportunities, urban farmers and planners face challenges balancing urban livestock rearing with sustainable cities’ development. Literature on the interface of inner-city rearing, sustainable cities and urban planning dilemma is limited in African cities. Using the city of Wa in Ghana as a case, this study seeks to understand cattle-rearing practices, dr…

  • Toward sustainable urbanization

    Ibrahim Abu Abdulai, Elias Danyi Kuusaana et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs2023Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    This study responds to the limited literature on the effects of urban sprawl on food security in Ghanaian cities. As the study sought to understand the characteristics, drivers, and challenges of urban sprawl and the threat it poses to the urban food security of indigenous peri-urban households, we drew evidence from peri-urban Wa, Ghana. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 261 randomly sampled indigenous household heads an…

  • Role of non-governmental organizations in poverty reduction in the global South

    Open AccessMoses Naiim Fuseini, Mohammed Sulemana et al.ARTICLESN Social Sciences2022

    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…

  • The effects of urbanisation pressures on smallholder staple food crop production at the fringes of African cities

    Open AccessIbrahim Abu AbdulaiARTICLECogent Social Sciences2022

    Urban fringe food production plays a critical role in bridging the urban demand-supply gap by reducing the distance between the markets and farms, making food affordable in cities. Studies show that urbanisation is hampering agriculture activities at the fringes of African cities due to the intense competition for land between developers and farmers. However, the interface between staple food crop production at the urban fringes and urbanisation …

  • Landowners’ willingness to supply agricultural land for conversion into urban uses in peri-urban Ghana

    Ibrahim Abu Abdulai, Francis Enu‐kwesi et al.ARTICLELocal Environment2022

    Agriculture in the peri-urban area is a significant source of income for peri-urban dwellers; however, peri-urban development raises land prices, making it difficult for small-scale farmers to keep their land. Still, studies on peri-urban development and consequent rapid land conversion have not given enough attention to the factors that impact landowners’ willingness to provide land for conversion, especially within the context of communal land …

  • Re-visiting sustainable development

    Emmanuel Kanchebe Derbile, Raymond Aitibasa Atanga et al.ARTICLELocal Environment2022

    Although the Brundtland Commission’s definition of Sustainable Development (SD) is widely accepted and central to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it presents some limitations for application in the traditional African context. Drawing on a qualitative research design, this study interrogated indigenous knowledge systems of land governance among the Grune people in northern Ghana and the implications for SD. The emergent perspectives on …
