The new philanthropy and smallholder farmers' livelihoods A case study of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) in the northern region of Ghana Sumaila Asuru MSc, B.Ed., PGDip Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Social Sciences University of Bradford 2017 ABSTRACT Sumaila Asuru The new philanthropy and smallholder farmers' livelihoods A case study of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) in the northern region of Ghana Keywords: Poverty reduction, livelihoods, AGRA, philanthropy, rural development, Northern Ghana The new philanthropy is increasingly seen as a panacea and an alternative source of global development finance for rural development, especially in developing countries. The theoretical underpinning of the new philanthropy entails the idea that the private sector, led by philanthropists and civil society organisations in social policy issues can lead to more effective outcomes through partnership. The existing literature on the new philanthropy mainly focuses on its economic or commercial impact. This is particularly the case in the rural parts of Ghana; there has been very little research on the new philanthropy’s impact on the livelihoods of the poorest segments of society. Therefore, this research investigates the impact of new philanthropy on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Northern Ghana in order to fill the gap. The study employed ethnographic research, utilising qualitative techniques involving 20 stakeholders in philanthropy and livelihood affairs and 100 smallholder farmers. The research findings suggest that there is a significant relationship between philanthropic sponsored interventions in Ghana and an increase in smallholder farmers’ yields. The few farmers who purchased improved seeds and other agricultural inputs registered significant increases. However, this study identified some bottlenecks inhibiting access to agricultural inputs by smallholder farmers. Majority of smallholder farmers revealed that they could not afford them (seeds, chemical fertilizer and other inputs) despite the subsidies. Furthermore, rainfall variability gives rise to fluctuating food production from one season to another; meanwhile, there is a lack of strategy from philanthropic practitioners to address the variability in rainfall. Through philanthropy, other methods of faming such as i irrigation farming agroecology, and permaculture could be exploited to the benefits of smallholder farmers. The outcomes of this study have policy implications for philanthropic practitioners. This study shows that the failure to involve farmers directly in decisions that affect their livelihoods is a major cause of livelihood interventionist programme failures in Ghana. Thus, this study argues that understanding the socioeconomic dynamics in the Northern Region and amongst the farmers should be an important part of policy formulation for philanthropic involvements seeking to improve livelihood of smallholder farmers. Lastly, the study called for a separate policy framework for philanthropy that would have a key objective of mobilising private philanthropic resources to support steady economic growth and sustainable development, dealing directly with recipients. ii DEDICATION To My Wife Bukari Rukaya Chounwie And Children Nmawisi Asuru-Basinbuo Farawia Asuru-Basinbuo iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writing of this thesis has been a long journey, a journey that often required the support of others. I would like to acknowledge the skills and expertise of my principal supervisor Dr Behrooz Morvaridi of the Bradford Centre for International Development. His elaborate criticism, extreme patience and guidance throughout the research period made this project a success. I also wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr John Lawler, who unfortunately left the University of Bradford midway through my studies, but his immense counselling is still fresh in my mind. Thank you to my friend and fellow PhD candidate Raymond Adu, for his support in designing some of my tables and figures. On a more personal level, I would like to thank my wife Rukaya, who has been my biggest fan and supporter; even when I was busy with this research exercise, she managed our kids and me so well that I was able to complete this awesome undertaking. Thank you for gently pushing me and for believing in me. To the girls, Nmawisi and Farawia, very soon I will be available to put you to bed to your satisfaction. I look forward to spending ample time with you now that my PhD study is over. To my extended family, Alhaji Ishaq Asuru, the late Basinbuo Asuru and Haluri Dumah Asuru as well as Faustina Kwara, I am and will always be very grateful to you for having the foresight to send me to school. The support and encouragement of Abubakar Asuru, Issah Abubakar and Madam Veronica Akapame, Headmistress of Accra Girls Senior High School during the period of this study was very much appreciated. I will also like to acknowledge the support of the University of Bradford’s Economic Department for offering me a teaching role, especially Dr Karen Jackson for her encouragement and support. To my sponsor, the Government of Ghana, I wish to say a big thank you. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................. i DEDICATION ............................................................................................................. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .......................................................................................... iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................. v LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................... x LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... xi ACRONYMS ............................................................................................................. xii CHAPTER ONE : GENERAL INTRODUCTION ......................................................... 1 1.1 Introduction ................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Statement of the Problem ............................................................................. 3 1.3 Current Research on Philanthropy in Ghana ................................................ 7 1.3.1 Research Gap and Justification .............................................................. 9 1.4 Objectives and Questions ........................................................................... 11 1.4.1 Research Questions ............................................................................. 11 1.4.2 Research Objectives ............................................................................ 12 1.5 Conceptual Framework ............................................................................... 13 1.6 Structure of the Thesis ................................................................................ 14 CHAPTER TWO : NEW PHILANTHROPY AND POVERTY REDUCTION DEBATE: LITERATURE REVIEW ............................................................................................ 17 2.1 Introduction ................................................................................................. 17 2.2 Understanding Philanthropy ........................................................................ 19 2.2.1 History of Philanthropy.......................................................................... 25 2.2.2 The New Philanthropy .......................................................................... 28 2.2.3 New Philanthropy or Philanthrocapitalism ............................................ 31 2.3 Relationship between Charity and Philanthropy .......................................... 41 v 2.4 Poverty Reduction ....................................................................................... 44 2.4.1 Philanthropy and Poverty Reduction .................................................... 47 2.5 Livelihood and Sustainable Livelihood Analysis (SLA) ................................ 52 2.6 The New Philanthropy in the Developing World .......................................... 53 2.7 Conclusion .................................................................................................. 61 CHAPTER THREE : THE CONCEPT OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT: LIVELIHOOD IMPROVEMENTS AND THE ROLE OF THE NEW PHILANTHROPY ..................... 62 3.1 Introduction ................................................................................................

    HORTICULTURAL SHOWS & OTHER EVENTS URBAN FERNS AROUND MANCHESTER MUSEUM – 28 July Dave Bishop On the last Saturday in July, BPS Secretary Yvonne Golding gave a presentation on Urban Ferns to members of the public and three BPS members at Manchester Museum. Around 15 people attended. Yvonne first gave an introduction to the BPS from its formation in 1891 to the current day. Following on from this we saw an excellent video The Secret Life of Ferns, which explains the complicated fern life-cycle in a simple and understandable way. We then put this knowledge into practice when we were shown how to grow ferns from spores and we were able to examine a selection of living prothalli, which many people present had never seen before. After tea we saw a slide-show of ferns in urban environments, including some exotic species living in a London basement (courtesy of John Edgington), native species living in Oxford drains (Nick Hards), York downpipes (Alison and Liz Evans), Sheffield cemeteries, the back streets of Scarborough, Manchester walls and Edinburgh men’s toilets. After the show we went on a short walk around the Museum, finding ferns growing on walls, in drains and gutters, along downpipes and even on an old extractor fan. We soon found eight species: Asplenium ruta-muraria, A. scolopendrium, A. trichomanes, Athyrium filix-femina, Dryopteris dilatata, D. filix-mas, Polypodium vulgare and not forgetting Equisetum arvense. Yvonne and I then went to the pub as it was my birthday! Having seen John Edgington’s photo of forked spleenwort in London, I’ve been scouring the streets of Manchester in search of equally exciting ferns.

  • Goodrich Responses to Examiners Questions
    Goodrich and Welsh Bicknor Group Parish NDP – Examiner’s Questions 1. In the Reg14 version of the Plan para 7.16 refers to the SE corner of the field by the church as being “considered to have a lesser effect upon the view of the Church”. Was this opinion based on a professional assessment from a heritage group or organisation? Or was it an opinion and assessment from the Parish Council and Neighbourhood Planning Group? An e-mail was sent to the over 100 addresses that had been volunteered to the Steering Group to encourage attendance at a Steering Group meeting on 14 August 2017 - the e- mail and the subsequent minutes of the meeting are attached. A presentation made at the meeting included issues relating to views, landscapes and other issues that impact on site selection for development. This presentation can be viewed in the following document in the link below. Presentation of Enviromental and Landscape Issues on https://goodrichneighbourhoodplan.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/display-sites-for- development-criteria.pdf Slides 9, 10, 16 and 23 are particularly relevant. (Please note that on slide 22 the mid-blue highly visible in the centre of the slide does not indicate built houses – built houses are shown in a darker blue.) The photograph of the church on slide 14 shows the main approach to the church along the footpath crossing the field from Church Pitch. The SE corner of the field is not on the photograph but off to the right. Please see also the work undertaken for the Village Design Statement in 2010 in the following document:- Village Design Statement 2010 on https://goodrichneighbourhoodplan.wordpress.com/village-design-statement-2010-2/ This view was the opinion of the NDP Group and supported by the Parish Council through approval of the draft NDP.

  • U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects
    Hull History Centre: Records of Francis Johnson & Partners, Architects U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects Historical Background: Francis Johnson and Partners, Architects (1937-Present) This firm of architects was established by local architect Francis Johnson in 1937. Based in Bridlington, the office was originally in Manor Street before being moved to its permanent location at Craven House, 16 High Street, in 1940. In the early years there was just Francis and a secretary working at the firm. In 1947 a draughtsman, Brian Smith, was appointed by Francis to help him cope with an increasing workload. The first architect to be appointed was Clive Barnby in 1953 and he remained with the firm until 1971. Tim Pool was the next architect to be appointed, he was with the firm from 1961 until 1967. In 1963 a third architect, Malcolm D. McKie, was appointed and his business acumen proved indispensable to the running of the firm. Malcolm McKie remained at the firm until his retirement. The 1970s and 1980s saw a massive increase in work for the firm, and in 1989 Digby Harris was appointed as the firm's newest architect. In 1991 the leadership of the firm jointly passed to Digby Harris and Malcolm G. Stather. Other employees of the firm have included Roger J.M. Goldthorpe and V. Kemp-Webster. As would be expected, most of the firm's work was located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Staple commissions tended to be located in Bridlington, Driffield, Filey and the surrounding villages. North Yorkshire also provided the firm with a large number of commissions centred round York itself, Malton, Whitby and Scarborough.
