‘Ambivalencing’ and Governance of the Achimota Urban Forest Reserve in Accra, Ghana
Flood-waste disaster in Ghana
Purpose Floods generate large volumes of debris that disrupt urban services and endanger public health. Yet, evidence on the drivers and impacts of post-flood waste and on how at-risk communities and institutions respond, remains limited. This study (1) identifies the causal factors driving post-flood waste generation and accumulation, (2) assesses the environmental implications for affected urban communities and (3) evaluates the planning and ma…
The effects of flood disasters on urban farmers in Ghana
Homeowners’ perceptions on flood risk and willingness to relocate from ecologically sensitive floodplains in Kumasi, Ghana
The integration of fruit trees into urban landscapes
Empowering Ghana’s rural agriculture through gender-inclusive climate action
Transforming waste-picking landscape in Ghana
Waste picking within the informal sector is essential to solid waste management policy and practice. A healthy number of academic articles have emerged from the practice of waste picking, particularly Ghana, of recent. Nevertheless, a common limitation across many of these articles is the absence of in-depth investigations into the experiences and backgrounds of waste pickers. This study examines the practical aspects of waste picking, uncovering…
Perception of the services and disservices from urban forest and trees in the Garden City of West Africa
The growth of trees in urban areas brings forth an extensive array of services and disservices, the comprehension of which can assist urban forestry professionals in advancing a more sustainable urban forest ecosystem. This paper assesses the perception of urban residents on the services and disservices from urban trees in a less represented geographic area. Using a mixed method approach, primary data was gathered from 396 urban inhabitants in th…

Rethinking climate migration in sub-Saharan Africa from the perspective of tripartite drivers of climate change
There is limited attention on climate change (CC) and human migration among scholars and policymakers. Meanwhile, natural disasters are projected to induce migration in the coming years which will affect millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this review, we contribute to climate migration literature by highlighting three important factors (i.e. floods, droughts, and sea-level rise) that predispose migrants in SSA to migrate. The revi…
The dilemma of flood occurrence in Accra
Land governance in Ghana and its implications for inclusive city development
An overview of climate-sensitive sectors and its implications for future climate change risk and adaptation in sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana
Global urban sprawl containment strategies and their implications for rapidly urbanising cities in Ghana
Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have so far failed to sustainably address urban sprawl and its ramifications. Meanwhile, the projected increase in the urban population in the cities in SSA is expected to exacerbate the situation, making the search for sustainable solutions an urgent one. In this review, we contribute to the search for sustainable urban sprawl containment strategies through the lens of policy transfer theory. Using Ghanaian cit…
Restoring the school garden programme in Ghana
Resilience to climate change in Ghanaian cities and its implications for urban policy and planning
Informality-sustainable city nexus
Going Green” Rhetoric or Reality
Deforestation is a major environmental problem confronting countries in the Global South. In response to the high rate of deforestation, policymakers have over the years implemented a myriad of afforestation programmes. This study sought to assess the prospects and challenges of Ghana’s Youth in Afforestation Programme. The data used for this study was collected from 60 recruits of the afforestation programme. The researchers also relied on insti…
Impact of floods, recovery, and repairs of residential structures in Ghana
Urban informalities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)
General, Target, and Accessible Population
In this paper the concepts of general, target and accessible population are explained in response to misconceptions and controversies associated with them, and the fact that the relationships between them have not been explained in the context of qualitative enquiry in any formal study. These concepts are discussed in this study based on a general scenario. We basically attempt to explain the importance of specifying the general, target and acces…
