With gratitude to God, I announce the peaceful passing of my beloved mother, Mad. Konduuk N. Laar (Afia Namun), aged 90, she lived a long and full life. A life of faith, humility & service. We are comforted by the promise of eternal rest.

"We are shifting from individual responsibility to structural accountability in African food policy."

📌 A timely reminder that systems - not just choices - shape outcomes. #CCHeFS #FoodPolicy

How on earth does a bin end up placed upside down, while rubbish is carelessly heaped on top? How disrespectful can a man be to his space? And it´s at a hospital in - - - ? Why must we normalize such dysfunction? This gentleman in blue deserves an award for calling this out.

As Africa battles double-burden of malnutrition, double-duty actions are needed. Effectively implemented, this mix of low-agency & high-agency policy interventions could be the game-changer...

@e_naban @JDMahama Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

[Amos Laar @alaar]

@e_naban @JDMahama ..salary top up, i meant to type.

[Amos Laar @alaar]

@e_naban @JDMahama Are there laws in Ghana to deal with such 'refusals'? If yes, enforcing those laws should be the primary intervention. The 20% salary top incentive would be secondary, although very much welcome.
