    Bases of Chieftaincy Disputes in Juaso in the Asante Akyem South Municipality in Ghana

    American Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Vol. 5, No. 1, 2021, pp. 1-13 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ajefm ISSN: 2381-6864 (Print); ISSN: 2381-6902 (Online) Bases of Chieftaincy Disputes in Juaso in the Asante Akyem South Municipality in Ghana Victoria Asante-Hanson 1, *, Frank Ato Tabil 2, Emmanuel Brew 3, 1 Francis Tetteh-Osei 1Department of Social Sciences, Presbyterian Women’s College of Education, Aburi, Ghana 2Department of Social Sciences, Seventh Day Adventist College of Education, Asokori-Koforidua, Ghana 3Department of Social Sciences, Enchi College of Education, Enchi, Ghana Abstract This study focused on the issues surrounding the chieftaincy dispute in Juaso and its developmental implications. It involved 12 participants who were sampled through purposive, snowballing, convenient, and maximal variation for interview. Semi- structured interview and participant observation were employed in data collection. This study adopted a qualitative content analysis to analyze data from interviews and participants’ observations. Narrative analysis based on themes under which literature was reviewed was done. Using content analysis, salient points from recorded responses from oral interview and field notes from non-verbal cues were described with some table presentation where necessary or when required. The study revealed that, competition among the ruling gates, intruders desiring to ascend the stool and the quest for Omanhene’s status and opposition from political powers were some causes of the chieftaincy dispute in Juaso prior to the reign of Nana Owusu Akyaw Prempeh. The study recommended that, the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) should take up campaigns to educate people on chieftaincy affairs. This might help to reduce the vulnerability of the chiefs and their people to manipulation by intruders.

    Kwame Nkrumah Legacy Project, Are the Work of Individuals Who Believe That the Unitary Vision Espoused and Promoted by Ghana's First President, Dr

    The essays in this VISIONS series, The Kwame NKrumah Legacy Project, are the work of individuals who believe that the Unitary Vision espoused and promoted by Ghana's first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, are the essence of Ghana as Nation, and what Ghana (and Africa) can be. These individuals recognize that the international stature and significance of Dr. Nkrumah are completely secure, a point found in many of the essays. However, within Ghana itself, some people do not have reliable information about the Founder of Ghana, Dr. Nkrumah, due to the wanton destruction of heritage records of all sorts and massive misinformation after the CIA-sponsored coup d'état that toppled Nkrumah's CPP at the hands of the Dr. Kofi Busia directed NLM and NLC military regime, in 1966. These essays are an attempt to provide more objective Ghana-centered information about all those records. Some of the essays may have been previously published on other platforms/media. Further, these essays are not the work of reporters and so, readers may find some errors in grammar, diction, spelling. For a Ghana-centered publication where English is not native, we do not fret those imperfections. We believe more in substance, in context, and in the development of the masses and their resources for their own benefit right here on the land, on earth, as Dr. Nkrumah envisioned through his many publications, speeches, and the numerous institutions and physical infrastructure he bequeathed Ghana. Thanks for your interest in VISIONS/The Kwame Nkrumah Legacy Project. Long Live Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana! (In This Volume): Date Comment No Title Name of Author Published Kwame Nkrumah_ The ONE and Dr.

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.

Box 25 Legon, Ghana February, 1998 Farming in the Shadow of the City: Changes in Land Rights and Livelihoods in Peri-Urban Accra Abstract Contending perspectives have interpreted the impact of rapid growth in peri-urban areas in very different ways. One school of thought characterizes peri-urban growth as leading to the development of new markets, and the conversion of property rights in such a way as to transform the local economy, leading to greater entrepreneurialism. Another sees the destruction of agricultural livelihoods without necessarily replacing them with any alternative form of economic activity. This paper reviews the literature on pen-urban land use, property rights change, and livelihoods, and then compares four cases within the peri-urban periphery of Greater Accra, the capital and largest city of Ghana, to assess the impact of rapid urban sprawl on the area immediately surrounding the city.
