“…A 100 percent increase in income of other crops increased the probability of adoption of both improved rice variety and fertilizer by 0.01 percent. This lends support to that of Kayizzi-Mugerwa et al (2017) who found out that income from other crops positively influences adoption of improved rice variety.…”

The study sought to test the hypothesis that gender influences adoption of innovations in the rice sector of Ghana. There is an existence of gender gap in adoption of farm innovations in Ghana. After desk review, it was found that the existing literature has not provided a clear linkage between gender and adoption of agricultural technologies. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine how the interaction between gender and other socio-economic factors influence the incidence of adoption of improved rice variety and fertilizer. Drawing on 917 face-to-face interviews with rice producers, the results show that child care and limited access to land inhibit female incidence of adoption. It is recommended that the innovation system should take cognizance of female reproductive role and develop, as much as possible, technology options that rely less on intensive use of labour. Furthermore, government should facilitate the development of land markets to improve female access to land, especially in northern Ghana where cultural norms restrict women's access to land.

“…This view of slums has generated what Jane Jacobs calls a paternalistic approach to policy responses (Jacobs, 1992: 271). The urban renewal theories and policies which have emanated from this paternalistic narrative have often focused on eliminating slums through strategies such as forced eviction, clearance, resettlements, and slum upgrading projects (Dupont, Jordhus-Lier, Sutherland & Braathen, 2016;Kayizzi-Mugerwa, Shimeles & Yameogo, 2014). These methods have failed or have had limited success (PSUP, 2016).…”

“…The work that this extract from my dissertation research has presented is part of an ongoing search for this new language. It is a continuation of the existing body of contemporary scholarship that views slums as places where residents use frugal innovations to navigate the harsh realities presented by their environment (Jacobs, 1992;Neuwirth, 2006;Gilbert, 2007;Holston and Caldeira, 2008;Roy, 2011;Dovey, 2012;Kayizzi-Mugerwa, Shimeles & Yameogo, 2014). Using practical evidence from Kibera, one of the largest slums in the world, I have unpacked and exposed dynamic and creative innovations and transactions that are at the core of the livelihoods of the slum's residents.…”

“…With export earnings falling, many African economies were at risk of much slower growth, if not outright recession. Most African international sovereign bonds were denominated in US dollars, whose value had risen relative to the currencies of most commodity exporters, increasing servicing costs (IMF 2015b, 12-15;Kayizzi-Mugerwa and Tessema 2015;Merotto, Stucka, and Thomas 2015).…”

Africa’s next debt crisis: regulatory dilemmas and radical insights

A new African debt crisis appears imminent, which will have new features because several countries have recently introduced international sovereign bonds. Organisations such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank increasingly acknowledge the risk of such a crisis, but continue to prescribe debt-management strategies based on liberalisation and government spending cuts. Insights drawn from liberals favouring government regulation identify an alternative policy direction, while Marxist scholars raise serious concerns about the merits and implications of the bonds altogether. These alternative approaches have the potential to enrich inter-governmental policy discussions and potentially avert the looming new African debt crisis.
