    Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.6, No.14, 2016 The Coming and Spread of the Salvation Army in Ghana: 1922- 2012 Evang. Isaac Boapeah Central University College Abstract The Salvations Army is a Christian denomination and a charitable organization which started in 1865 in East London by the Rev. William Booth and his wife Mrs. Catherine Booth who broke away from the Methodist Church. The Army works with a philosophy that “heart to God and hands to man”. It also uses military titles. In Ghana, the Salvation Army has health centres and educational institutions. The Army has its presence in 126 countries as of today. The Army got established in Ghana in 1922 through King Hudson. This work looks at how it has spread throughout Ghana. Introduction The Salvation Army is a Christian church denomination and a charitable organization with the philosophy that; ‘heart to God and hand to man’. The Salvation Army in Ghana is a member of the Christian council of Ghana. This work looks at how The Salvation Army (The Army) came to Ghana, then Gold Coast, and has spread to all the ten political regions in Ghana. It briefly looks at the establishment of the Army in London before it came to Ghana. This study also briefly throws some light on the religious setting within which the Army flourished in Ghana. This is considered because one of the factors that makes a crop to do well include the very land on which it is planted.

IMORO BRAIMAH ...…….……………. …………...… (HEAD OF DEPARTMENT) SIGNATURE DATE 2 ABSTRACT Population trends currently indicate that more than half of Ghana’s population currently lives in urban areas. The pressures of urbanization and fast growing population of the cities have therefore impacted on land management. This study analyzed land management practices in Accra and Kumasi in view of rapid urbanization. The study analyzed issues such as the operation of the land markets in the cities – trend of land use, ownership and land values, sources and process of land acquisition. Customary land ownership in the two cities constitutes about 90%. The value of land in Accra is relatively higher than in Kumasi.

  • The Case of Child Mortality in Accra, Ghana
    Modeling Spatial Inequalities in Health in Cities of Developing Countries: The Case of Child Mortality in Accra, Ghana John R. Weeks, San Diego State University Allan G. Hill, Harvard University Livia Montana, Harvard University Kenneth Hill, Harvard University Arthur Getis, San Diego State University Samuel Agyei-Mensah, University of Ghana Mark Montgomery, Population Council Douglas Stow, San Diego State University David Rain, George Washington University Ryan Engstrom, George Washington University Abstract Mortality levels in sub‐Saharan Africa remain among the highest in the world, even after several decades of decline. Urban‐rural differences persist, but even in urban areas, life expectancy remains relatively low. As the population in the region grows increasingly urban and dependent upon city‐ based economic development, the health of the urban population becomes a more compelling concern. Little is known, however, about intra‐urban spatial and socioeconomic inequalities in health in cities of developing nations. We contribute to closing this gap in the literature through an innovative process of linking spatially extensive data from the 2000 census of Ghana with substantively intensive data from the Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys for the same time period. Following models of the urban health transition, we calculate expected levels of child mortality for neighborhoods in Accra, and then compare those expectations with observed data based on direct measures of child mortality. The surprising result is that the observed pattern does not follow the expected pattern, apparently because of the spatially disparate impact of programs to reduce child mortality in high‐risk neighborhoods. Additional spatial analysis reveals that clusters of high child mortality do still exist in parts of the city, and are explained both by biological and spatial factors.
