Abstract:
While universities provide quality education, they also offer a range of social, economic, and cultural activities to their host communities. In Ghana, University Community Engagements are part of the government’s initiatives aimed at the redistribution of prevelege nationality, educational inequalities and eradicating poverty. However, not many studies have been carried out on community engagement in this part of the world, as most studies have concentrated on faculty and students.

Abstract:
This qualitative case study explores how policy is developed and implemented in public universities in Ghana, using the case of the University of Education, Winneba. It draws on a theoretical rationale in which inclusion and inclusiveness are seen as paramount (Lewin, 1951; Schein, 1995; Robins, 2003) to specifically question the influence of different stakeholder groups in the development and implementation of policies in the University. The study utilized data from two sources: the analysis of policy documents, and semi-structured one-on-one interviews with fifteen senior non-teaching and te

Abstract:
During the period under colonial rule Ghanaian traditional life styles were largely destroyed and foreign value systems imposed.

Part One is a survey of traditional dance models and their significance for new developments, while Part Two examines t

Knowledge transferred from universities is known to pass through many mechanisms to influence innovation in firms. Nonetheless, research on university knowledge transfer in less developed economies is not readily available in the extant literature.

Consequently, African countries have been largely neglected in the MNE CSR literature.

Abstract:
Recent years have witnessed renewed interest in farmer-based organisations (FBOs) as important local institutions for promoting smallholder agriculture and improving rural livelihoods. Many believe that the establishment of FBOs would, amongst other things, strengthen the ability of smallholder farmers to access agricultural services such as extension services and inputs, as well as reduce their risks and transaction costs of accessing these services. This thesis examines the extent to which FBOs improve smallholder farmers’ access to extension services, inputs and credit in Ghana. Central to

To improve agricultural productivity and the livelihood security of farm households, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in Ghana decentralised its extension service in 1997. Although this was a critical change in agricultural policy, the extension service has struggled to implement this policy effectively. Further improvement in the situation is hampered because there has been little research publ
