Summary

This Development Partnership in Higher Education (DelPHE) project is shared between SRI and the University of Cape Coast in Ghana (led by Prof Albert Abane). It aims to facilitate building of institutional capacity regarding land reform policies in support of sustainable development initiatives within West Africa. The project builds on ongoing SRI research in Northern Ghana (conducted by John Atibila who also acts as the project manager for this study) & from research experiences more widely across Sub-Saharan Africa (notably in Malawi, Botswana, South Africa and Namibia).
