A total of seven papers were presented together with keynote address after going through a blind review process with highly skilled professors in the designated areas. Dr. Sabina A. Mensah presented on issues of gender consideration in energy efficiency that were proved to significantly influence economic growth. Some investments were recommended to non-conventional energy services used by majority of rural women. Rev. Dr. Eric O. Wiafe stressed on the importance of technology to rural development and, more importantly, pointed out the role that the church can play in fostering the use of technology for rapid transformation. Dr. Louis D. Atsiatorme proposed the use of African philosophical thoughts in sustainable environmental education in Ghana and posited that sustainable environmental education should be based on African philosophical thought. Mr. Fabrice Fifonsi analysed the role of parliamentarians and local government in the rural development with the utilisation of technology in a systemic approach considering their representative mandate, coupled with their legislative and oversight functions. Rev. Dr. John K. Louis developed a Christian theological work on how to mitigate environmental degradation. His work takes source from the Laudato si of Pope Francis who rightly states that the Eucharist is a source of light and motivation for our concerns for the environment, directing us to be stewards of all creation. Finally, Prof. Amevi Acakpovi et al. presented two papers dealing respectively with energy conservation and efficiency and the adoption of electronic government in tertiary educations.

Download or read book The Trail Blazers written by Anthony Antwi Beeko and published by Afram Publ. (Ghana) Limited. This book was released on 2004 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written to commemorate 175 years of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. It intends to provide a balanced account of the role of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana since the early nineteenth century, and as such, sheds much light on the history and development of Ghana over the past two centuries. It covers the contributions of the Basel missionaries and their Scottish successors, and emphasises the contributions of the locals to the mission, particularly in developing local languages, translating sacred texts and compiling dictionaries and proverbs. It illuminates the achievements of the Church and the contributions it has made to the development of moral and spiritual life, education, agriculture, health, Ghanaian languages and music. However criticism of the missionaries is not reserved, being levelled at the rigidity and intolerant attitude of the missionaries towards the indigenous culture.

Download or read book The church transnational land deals and empowering local communities in northern Ghana written by Emmanuel Zumabakuro Dassah and published by Brill Schoningh. This book was released on 2018 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine having a property that your family has been building for generations. One day, a foreign company submits documents and demands ownership of the land. What should the village community do about it? In Ghana, land has increasingly become an object of trade as a result of new growing, agriculture-based value chains for global biofuel markets. The ethical choices we make about land and its use are at the core of this book. It investigates the challenges of land acquisition for biofuels production exploring the concept of empowerment and Christian ethics within the socio-political power settings of the people of Northern Ghana. It thus considers the historical, theological, ethical and sociological foundations of the Ghanaian land issue. Stellen Sie sich vor, ein Grundstück zu haben, das Ihre Familie seit Generation bebaut. Eines Tages legt ein ausländisches Unternehmen Dokumente vor und fordert das Eigentumsrecht auf dieses Land. Was soll die Dorfgemeinschaft dagegen machen? Auf der Basis von Feldforschungsergebnissen über einen Fall von Landgrabbing in Nord Ghana analysiert das Buch den Zusammenhang zwischen Dezentralisierungsprozessen und lokaler Entscheidungsfindung sowie deren Auswirkungen auf die Nutzung und den Zugang zu natürlichen Resourcen. Darüberhinaus nimmt die Arbeit staatliche und traditionelle Umstrukturierungsprozesse in den Blick, indem sie Empowerment Theorien mit Ansätzen der Christlichen Sozialethik ergänzt. Zudem untersucht sie die Auswirkung dieser Änderungen auf den Gebrauch von Bodenschätzen, die mit Nachhaltigkeitsproblemen verbunden sind. Das Buch endet mit Handlungsempfehlungen für die Haltung und das Engagement der Katholischen Kirche im Bereich Landgrabbing in Ghana.
