P.O. Box LG34, Legon 3Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich, Central Avenue, Chatham Maritime, Kent ME4 4TB, UK DOI: 10.18697/ajfand.82.17090 13406 ABSTRACT Traditional processing and street vending of foods is a vital activity in the informal sector of the Ghanaian economy and offers livelihood for a large number of traditional food processors. Kenkey is a fermented maize ‘dumpling’ produced by traditional food processors in Ghana. Ga and Fante kenkey have received research attention and there is a lot of scientific information on kenkey production. White kenkey produced from dehulled maize grains is a less known kind of kenkey. A survey was held in three districts of Ghana to study production, vending and consumption of white kenkey and to identify major bottlenecks related to production, which can be addressed in studies to re-package kenkey for a wider market. Questionnaires were designed for producers, vendors and consumers of white kenkey to collate information on Socio-cultural data, processing technologies, frequency of production and consumption, product shelf life, reasons for consumption and quality attributes important to consumers using proportional sampling.

E-ISSN 1943-4421 www.cognizantcommunication.com BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF COMMUNITY-BASED ECOTOURISM IN PARK-FRINGE COMMUNITIES: THE CASE OF MESOMAGOR OF KAKUM NATIONAL PARK, GHANA ISHMAEL MENSAH Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana Community-based ecotourism (CBE) is seen as a viable model for achieving conservation and improved livelihoods for park-fringe communities. In view of that, many communities in Ghana, including Mesomagor, have embraced the concept. Yet, most studies have employed quantitative methods and failed to examine the challenges of community participation in ecotourism development. Therefore, this study employed qualitative methods to analyze the benefits and challenges of CBE in the Mesomagor community of the Kakum National Park. This involved key informant interviews of 15 stakeholders using a semistructured interview guide. The results of the study show that though the community had made some modest economic gains, especially in infrastructural development, the project was confronted with a number of challenges including apathy towards participation, limited employment and revenue-sharing opportunities, lack of local capacity to manage the project, and destruction of farms by stray elephants from the park. Key words: Community-based ecotourism (CBE); Community; Revenue sharing; Kakum National Park (KNP); Ghana Introduction miners, hunters, and gatherers, the pursuit of their economic activities could eventually result in the Community-based ecotourism (CBE) projects have depletion of natural resources.

Statement of Copyright The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published without prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged. Dedication To Abigail my beloved wife and our lovely children Abstract Decentralisation of government has been a major policy direction of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) as an adjunct to the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) imposed on low income countries. Decentralisation is consistent with the neo-liberal policies of the Bank aimed at liberalising the economy and reducing the control of centralised bureaucracies. The emphasis in SAPs on the reduction of public spending has in many cases increased poverty. This has led to the growth of a new emphasis on decentralisation and participatory development to reduce poverty. The link between participation and local governance has become seen as an important means of improving the effectiveness of services and of empowering the poor to participate in the development processes that affect their lives.

  • Adapting to Changing Conditions Touton CFI Progress Report
    Photo courtesy ofFarmGrow Adapting to Changing Conditions Touton CFI Progress Report - Ghana April 2020 Foreword Touton was among the 12 first signatories of The Cocoa and Forests Initiative declaration that was prepared jointly by the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) and IDH under the auspices of Prince Charles’ International Sustainable Unit development activities. We were particularly heartened by this development as it is aligned with Touton’s strategy in respect to Landscape Governance. This is an area where we have been active for several years, especially in Ghana. We have been working with Forest and Cocoa authorities as well as with implementing partners to develop a holistic approach which goes beyond the impact of climate change at cocoa-farm level. A year ago, Touton published its initial action plans in line with its Cocoa and Forests Initiative commitments. Since then, both the public and private sector actors in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire have taken important steps towards meeting some of the essential targets outlined in the CFI partnership framework agreement. Contents Going forward, one important element that needs to be addressed to unlock some of Foreword 2 the challenges that we still all face is the strengthening of nation-wide traceability systems. Key figures 3 This proves essential to address deforestation but also other crucial elements of a more virtuous supply-chain, i.e. human-rights related considerations and even food safety What is the Cocoa & Forests Initiative? 4 and health issues. In the light of recent events, the conviction that strong partnerships and collaboration between all parties can effect real change is reinforced.
