Abstract:
The fourth republican constitution came into force in 1993. Ghana statistical Service also re-based Ghanas GDP in the same year. From 1993 to 2005, the average GDP growth rate was about 4.3%. Within the period of 1993 and 2005, Ghana was still below the lower middle income level. Another re-basing took place in 2006. It is now believed that we are in the lower middle income level. The study was conducted to develop mathematical models to predict the trend of Ghanas GDP before re-basing and after re-basing in 2006, use the models before and after re-basing to predict the future trend in Ghanas GDP growth, compare our GDP growth before re-basing and after re-basing, to determine whether or not, there are fluctuations in our GDP growth and predict Ghanas per capita income status in 2015. Data on Ghanas GDP were collected from the Statistical Service Department. The GDP figures from 1993-1995 and from 1996-2010 were plotted separately on graphs. A function whose graph best fits each trend was found using regression analysis. It was observed that Ghanas GDP trends before and after re-basing was exponential. There were also no fluctuations in the growth of the economy. Ghana may still be in the lower middle income status by 2015.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the issue of nuclear energy in Ghana, although the country is not operating a nuclear plant, the study focuses on the energy crisis that persistently hit the country and government’s plans to opt for nuclear energy as part of Ghana’s energy’s mix to cater for the shortfalls in Ghana’s electricity generation. Ghana after independence decided to add nuclear energy into its energy mix to promote industrialization and make Ghana an industrial hub and investment destination as well as make it a net exporter of power in Africa. In spite of this plan for a nuclear plant resurfacing within contemporary discourse, there has been a strong opposition against the country going nuclear, citing some safety and security issues which are sometimes fueled by lack of an in depth knowledge of what nuclear energy really entails. Qualitative research approach was employed to investigate Ghana’s drive for attaining its initial plans for a nuclear plant. Data has been retrieved from both primary and secondary sources. The analysis of the data collected revealed that Ghana’s inability to operate a nuclear plant is as a result of fear of a nuclear disaster like it happened at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, USA, Chernobyl in Ukraine and Fukishima Daichi in Japan, as well as the safety of the nuclear plants and the radioactive wastes emitted into the environment. The study revealed that this fear of people regarding nuclear energy is over-emphasized and again the major nuclear disasters that have rocked the world were caused by human error; in most cases security warnings were ignored. The study established that the delay in executing the plans are due to monetary challenges since building a nuclear plant involves a lot of money. This notwithstanding, Ghana has enough skilled nuclear scientists to manage the country’s nuclear plants should any be built.

Abstract:
The central role agriculture plays in the development of Ghana’s economy has been recognized by several authors, particularly because Ghana’s economy is basically agrarian. Nevertheless, the contributions agriculture can make to economic development depend on the policy environment within which agriculture thrives. Several policies, both general and specific to agriculture, which have been pursued under various governments have either promoted or mitigated against the performance of agriculture in Ghana. This paper reviews the various policies under which Ghana's agricultural sector has operated since independence, and provides a synthesis of the major existing policies and recent changes and how these have affected the agricultural sector. The analysis shows that the socialist model of the 1960s contrasted sharply with the liberalized market approach of the 1980s and 1990s, particularly under structural adjustment. These differing policy orientations have had significant effects on agricultural performance in Ghana, and the roles of agriculture at different periods. For instance, the policy effects of agricultural activities on the environment, such as the promotion of export commodities, the exploitation of timber and forest resources, mining, and indiscriminate sale and use of agro-chemicals in Ghana have been negative. On the other hand, promotion of cash and export crops through government policy incentives have improved rural incomes for farmers that cultivate such crops, and helped to reduce poverty among this group. In general, the policy effects on agriculture in Ghana have been mixed.

Abstract:
This thesis is a documentation and description of Sekpelé, a Kwa language spoken along the Akwapim Range close to the Ghana-Togo border by the people of the Likpe traditional area. It belongs to the linguistically diverse group of Ghana-Togo Mountain Languages (GTM), spoken in the Central Volta region of Ghana. The language is spoken primarily by ten Likpe communities north-east of Hohoe: Bakwa, Nkwanta, Mate, Bala, Todome, Abrani, Koforidua, Agbozume, Avedzime and Kukurantumi. This thesis is divided into eleven chapters and a set of appendixes. The first chapter presents a general introduction. This includes a background overview of the Bakpelé (speakers of Sekpelé) which includes demographic and ethnographic information, as well as material on language classification, dialects and multilingualism, and research methodology. The second chapter is a literature review. Topics covered include language documentation, description, and language classification, and an overview of previous research on the language. The third chapter discusses the phonology of Sekpelé. The fourth chapter focuses on the noun morphology of Sekpelé and includes topics such as the noun class system, agreement, and some noun derivations. The fifth chapter discusses the structure and types of noun phrases in Sekpelé. The sixth chapter focuses on pronouns while the seventh chapter describes the verb morphology. The eighth chapter discusses semantic classes of verbs and their valency. The ninth chapter discusses clause structure and clause types in Sekpelé. The tenth chapter discusses several construction types that involve combinations of verbs and/or clauses. This chapter is organised as following: (1) multi-verb clauses: serial verbs; overlapping clauses; consecutive constructions, (2) complement clauses, (3) adverbial clauses, (4) relative clauses, and (5) coordination. The eleventh chapter consists of the conclusion followed by a full bibliography of materials referenced in this thesis and a set of appendixes containing selected texts collected and annotated in the course of the research.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.<br>O seu nome é Alepo. Um território manchado pelo conflito, onde os escombros são o contorno de um quadro de devastação, insalubridade e decadência. Num cenário Pós-Guerra, urge a necessidade de repensar a cidade e reabilitar a sociedade, iniciando-se a reflexão sobre o seu processo de reconstrução física e social. Assim, este é um trabalho que se remete para uma realidade complexa, contínua e interminável, e que se liga a variadas áreas de intervenção, necessárias ao desenvolvimento de uma proposta que restabeleça um quotidiano contextualizado com a sociedade que o pratica. Em pormenor, é selecionada a área da educação e proposto o desenvolvimento de um Equipamento de Ensino Básico, setorizado no público feminino. Conceptualmente, a escolha do desenvolvimento de um equipamento deste cariz (Escola Básica Feminina) marca, para além de um contributo arquitetónico na reconstrução física do território, uma intervenção social dotada de alguma ousadia e inovação, dado o facto de corresponder a uma rutura social e implementação de novos valores. Tal é justificado pela premissa de que até então as mulheres estão proibidas de exercer qualquer tipo de atividade intelectual e, portanto, estudar. Pretende-se assim clarificar, o ‘Papel Social’ que a arquitetura detém no seu exercício e na responsabilidade acrescida de contribuição com duplo sentido: formação de uma nova imagem da cidade e melhoramento do contexto social que nela habita. Contextualizada com a realidade local, surge o segundo conceito estudado, ‘Arquitetura de Emergência’, que se traduz na resposta rápida, não necessariamente imediata, à necessidade de abrigo ou habitação de caracter provisório, alvo para populações vítimas de catástrofes (naturais ou não), como é exemplo este conflito político-social. Compreende ainda, a utilização de materiais locais, de baixo custo e tecnologia, preferencialmente reutilizados. Forma-se assim, a primeira diretriz técnica na estratégia adotada para o delineamento da proposta. Por fim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivos a reflexão da vertente Social do exercício arquitetónico no melhoramento das dinâmicas humanas, e a aplicação de um conceito direcionado para a reutilização e procura de opções exequíveis num cenário resiliente, mas com baixas capacidades de reação à extrema necessidade de reconstrução, a "Arquitetura de Emergência".<br>ABSTRACT: In a city destroyed by war, where the debris shape a scene of devastation, insalubrity and decay, arises the need to rethink the city, considering a post-war situation, and to begin the reconstruction process. This is a project that covers a complex, continuous and endless reality that connects with several intervention areas, which must be under the context of this society daily life. It is based in the education theme, targeting in a more specific level the female students. In a conceptual level an infrastructure of this nature (Female Primary School), gives not only an architectural contribution to the physical reconstruction of the territory, but also imprints a bold an innovative social intervention, disrupting the social rules with new values in a society where, until now, women were not allowed to exercise any intellectual activity, in this case studying. It is intended to clarify that architecture can have a social role and can contribute to the creation of a new image for a city and its social context. Under the actual situation of the city, a second concept must be studied, “Emergency Architecture”, which can be translated as the fast reply (but not immediate), to the need of shelter or temporary housing in case of a catastrophe, like a political/social conflict. It includes the use of local materials that can be low cost and low technology and preferably reusable. This is how the strategical line of thought of this project was created. Resuming, the project idea is to consider the importance of architecture in the improvement of human dynamics, using local means and options that work in a resilient scenario, while applying the concept of “Emergency Architecture”.<br>N/A

Abstract:
This study evaluates the energy efficiency, cost-saving opportunities and nearly zero emissions for the residential sectors of Ghana and Nigeria, focusing on three household appliances: fridges, freezers and bulbs. It analyses the integration of renewable energy systems in residential households, comparing energy-efficient and non-energy-efficient scenarios in both countries. The study uses field data, existing data on RETScreen software and analytical methods to examine the energy consumption patterns of key household appliances and their impact on renewable energy system design, cost, and emissions reduction. As for the energy consumption patterns, Ghana showed higher daily usage of household appliances, with longer operational hours for fridges and freezers averaging 20.3 hours/day, while Nigeria had lower daily usage, averaging 11.8 hours/day for similar appliances. For Nigeria, the annual electricity cost in the non-energy-efficient scenario is approximately 109.69 USD, while for energy-efficient households, the cost is reduced to 79.31 USD. In Ghana, non-energy-efficient households spend around 379.97 USD annually, compared to 317.55 USD for energy-efficient homes. The results highlight the significant cost-saving opportunities of adopting energy-efficient technologies. This higher energy demand in Ghana and its higher electricity tariffs lead to greater overall consumption and higher costs. Despite similar appliance wattages, Nigeria's lower tariff results in comparatively lower energy expenses. Using the energy consumption patterns for both countries under the energy-efficient and non-energy-efficient scenarios, system sizing for solar PV and battery storage was conducted to know the economic viability of renewable energy integration through Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Net Present Value (NPV) assessments. In both scenarios, the payback period for solar PV and battery systems in Nigeria is 22 years, making it not economically viable under current electricity tariffs. In contrast, Ghana shows a payback period of 10.3 years, making solar PV systems financially viable. The RETScreen simulation examined two important scenarios for energy efficiency in Nigeria and Ghana: compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) as the baseline and LED lighting as a proposed alternative. The results show different GHG (greenhouse gas) reduction equivalences for the number of automobiles that are not driven, the number of individuals who cut their energy use, the number of hectares of forests that absorb GHG, etc. The study's conclusions highlight the significance of energy efficiency in lowering overall energy usage, tariff rates, and expenses associated with solar and battery systems. The results have also provided more insights for both countries to create more comprehensive policies that will encourage adopting energy-efficient practices and make it cheaper for homes to integrate and use renewable energy systems.

In Africa International Conference on Clean Energy and Energy Storage, 267–78. Switzerland: Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2025. https://doi.org/10.4028/p-ezf4lf.

Abstract:
Decarbonisation is instrumental in attaining sustainable mobility. To actualize the Ghana Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) set emission reduction target of 15% relative to Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario by 2030, sustainable transport actions should be encouraged. Thus, promoting the use of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in automobiles is very crucial to ensure efficient and green mobility. Nonetheless, existing policies in Ghana overlook autogas (LPG/CNG) as prospective decarbonizing solution in the transport sector. The study employed survey analysis and analytical modeling approach to elicit the benign effects of autogas in the transport sector using Accra as a case study. The ecological, economic and social dimensions of autogas were expatiated to extrapolate effective measures to facilitate their smooth implementation. Survey was carried out in the central business district of Accra to attain the percentage of autogas and gasoline used by taxis operators for the first time per author’s knowledge. A purposive sample of 500 taxi drivers was selected and data analysis was conducted using R statistical package. From the survey, 14% of taxis were powered with LPG whilst 86% were gasoline, however, the LPG-powered taxis were retrofitted gasoline engine vehicles. The analytical model was based on physics principles involving three resistance forces- aerodynamic, rolling resistance and inertia. CO2 emission savings of 29% and 18.4% were elicited from the use of CNG and LPG relative to gasoline fuel at the end of the simulation using the ambient conditions in Accra. Thus, use of autogas will limit global warming impact and aid the country to fulfill its pledged emission target by 2030. The government is entreated to regulate autogas use in the transport sector and increase its patronage by promoting flexible policies like meager custom duty on imported CNG/LPG vehicles as well as tax credits.

Abstract:
This study identifies the underlying entrepreneurial competencies (ECs) essential for indigenous contractors’ competitive advantage in the construction industry in the Global South using Ghana as a case study. Structured questionnaire aided collection of research data from 667 indigenous building and civil engineering practitioners in the Ghanaian construction industry (GCI). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) reduced the underlying ECs into four underlying components namely: strategic competencies, self-trait competencies, acquired competencies, and market intelligence competencies. Market intelligence competencies was unique to this Ghana study. This study provides the main and sub-ECs useful in explaining and assessing ECs of indigenous contractors in the Ghanaian construction industry. It informs policymaking, and capacity building of indigenous contractors in Ghana and countries in the Global South whose construction industry shares characteristics with Ghana.

Abstract:
Innovation has become the priority of most nations for the last two decades. This has been seen in the increase in expenditure on the investment in Research and Development (R&amp;D) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The adaptation and diffusion of innovation depends on the policies put in place by the government and firms to attract foreign investors. The ICT sector in Ghana has seen massive development and has contributed a lot to the development of the economy of the country through providing employment and making communication and other technological works easy. We set out to find whether ICT promotes innovation in Ghana by looking at the impacts of exportation and importation of ICT in Ghana. We used Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model on a data from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the World Development Indicators (WDI). The number of patent applications is used as the amount of innovation in the country rather than the granted patents because application depicts the actual number of innovations within a year. We found that both importation and exportation of ICT increase innovation in Ghana in the short run. However, importation of ICT decreases innovation with a higher margin than the increase caused by exportation of ICT in the long run. This is as a result of the fear of failure and lack of support for innovative projects. We suggest that the government should support and bring up policies to encourage firms to innovate.

Abstract:
The International Health Regulations (2005) are legally binding on 196 States Parties, Including all WHO Member States. The IHR aims to keep the world informed about public health risks, through committing all signatories to cooperate together in combating any future “illness or medical condition, irrespective of origin or source, that presents or could present significant harm to humans.” Under IHR, countries agreed to strengthen their public health capacities and notify the WHO of any such illness in their populations. The WHO would be the centralized body for all countries facing a health threat, with the power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” issue recommendations, and work with countries to tackle a crisis. Although, with the sudden and rapid spread of COVID-19 in the world, many countries varied in implementing the WHO guidelines and health recommendations. While some countries followed the WHO guidelines, others imposed travel restrictions against the WHO’s recommendations. Some refused to share their data with the organization. Others banned the export of medical equipment, even in the face of global shortages. The UN Compliance Research group will focus during the current cycle on analyzing the compliance of the WHO member states to the organizations guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
In recent years, Ghana has faced significant pushback against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and more (LGBTQI+) rights, marked by stricter legal restrictions and widespread societal opposition. Similarly, progress on women’s rights has been slow, with inadequate policy implementation. Despite these challenges, various organisations and movements are actively countering these setbacks. This brief provides an overview of their activities and the broader socio-political context.
