- Assessing the effect of COVID-19 on the Artisanal and Small-Scale (ASM) mining in Ghana.
The focus of the paper is to argue for formalising the sector and holding the operators responsible for reclaiming the land after their activities. The formalisation will further ensure that ASM operators will benefit from national incentives.
- The Resource Curse Theory and the Free Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana: An Appraisal.
The paper argues that the 1992 Constitution of Ghana guarantees right to equal educational opportunities and facilities to all persons in Ghana and further provides for implementation of progressive introduction of free education at either the secondary (in its different forms) or higher levels of education or both. This paper examines the ongoing implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) education policy in Ghana and argues that its proper execution will enable the country to eventually escape the resource-curse phenomenon.
