Abstract:

Purpose Following decades of weak financial capacity of local governments in raising enough revenues to finance their budgets, this paper aims to examine the impact of jurisdictional fragmentation on property taxes in Ghana. Since independence in 1957, many local governments in Ghana are yet to build their fiscal capacity to collect enough own source revenues to support their local budgets. All local government laws in Ghana have assigned property taxes to local governments. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses quantitative econometric techniques with local level panel data from 2010 to

Abstract:

Half of the world population consists of women. It is seen that women are underrepresented in international, national, and local administrations since they are compressed into certain roles and moulds with general assumptions such as social, cultural, traditional, etc. It is seen that women cannot reach the representation they deserve in the administrative processes in almost all countries. Of course, there are many reasons for this situation, but no reason can explain the ‘ignoring’ of women only because of gender and the frameworks and boundaries set by others for that gender.

Abstract:

A significant issue affecting land use planning in sub-Saharan Africa is inconsistent and conflicting planning legislation. As a result, Ghana passed the Land Use and Spatial Planning Act, Act 925 of 2016, to address the nation's land use and spatial planning issues. Using the case study methodology, the study assesses the Act 925 implementation status, benefits, and challenges in the Upper West Region of Ghana between October 2016 and April 2018. Nine key informants were interviewed between April and June 2018 in the land use planning sector. The primary and secondary data analysis employed c

Abstract:

This study investigates the factors that influence youth participation in local level governance in Ghana, a developing country. The Upper West Region was selected as a case study for this research. Through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, as well as analysis of policy documents, the study reveals that the youth are more skillful in the use of technology and other strategic interventions to help address local, national, and global issues. Nonetheless, they are often marginalized and discriminated by their older partners at the Wa Municipal Assembly (WMA). Factors such as instit

Abstract:

In recent years, the combined effects of inflation, recession, high-interest rates, new investment media and technological advances in information processing have made “Cash Management” an increasingly important and complex subject (IMF, 2001; Ter-Minassian and Parente, 1995). At times, the desire and effort to squeeze out the most from every dollar and to minimise idle cash balances has become an obsession with many organisations and countries. Therefore, effective and efficient Cash Management has become a “sine qua non” for the success of any business organisation (H

Though a significant number of studies in organizational behaviour literature have shown a positive relationship between affective organizational commitment and job performance, the findings of some studies indicate that the relationship varies. This highlights the presence of mediator and moderator variables.
