Our field trip to Dogbekope village, Keta Lagoon, where govt has given land & salt mining to a foreign company. Our students on #NELGAGhana2019 course on #landgovernance conducted focus groups on natural resource uses, livelihoods, gender relations and value chains. #landgrabbing
Sulle explains the benefits and shortcomings of nationalisation, and points out the key issues when land is nationalised. #NelgaGhana2019#landtenure#capitalism
Dr @YaoGraham of @twn_africa argues African states are on a mutually damaging 'race to the bottom' as they compete for FDI, by minimising mining royalties (down to 0.5% in Zambia). How can minerals, when exploited, generate sustainable intergenerational benefits? #nelgaghana2019
Prof John Bugri of @KNUSTKumasi welcomes the participants of #NelgaGhana2019, and introduces why engaging with the theme of the political economy of land governance in Africa is crucial. @UWConline@giz_gmbh
Prof @DzodziTsikata is our first speaker of the day. She is providing our participants 'An Introduction to the Political Economy of Land in Africa'. We'll be sharing key points thru-out, and post a summary of the day's talks on our website at the end of the day. #NelgaGhana2019
