Scholarly Publishing in Africa and the role of the Open Access Initiative (OAI)
(Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences, 2016) Alemna, A.A.
Academics all over the world place emphasis on research and publications, not only because it is presumed that research enriches both teaching and the learning process as well as contributing to the body of knowledge, but also because it is a major determinant of institutional prestige. To the academic staff, therefore, publishing achieves that dual purpose of enhancing both one's position and the status of the institution. However, scholarly publishing in Africa is still struggling to keep pace with the rest of the world. Various reasons for this are discussed in this paper. The author also highlights the issue of Predatory or Standalone journals which are trying to take advantage of challenges in scholarly publishing to exploit the African Scholar or writer. As one of the solutions to this problem, the author suggests that scholars in Africa should take advantage of the opportunities and benefits of Open Access (OA) Journals. These provide unlimited access to online peer reviewed scholarly research works. They are also digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions, The role of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in assisting the OA agenda is also emphasized.
NATO and the Destruction of Libya: Reviewing so Called Humanitarian Intervention (R2P)
(University of Ghana, 2016-10-11) Campbell, H.
In April 2016, President Obama noted that the decision to invade Libya in 2011 was the worst mistake of his Presidency. Five months later a select Parliamentary Committee of the House of Commons, London, lamented the waste and suffering in Libya and stated that: “The result of the French, British and US intervention, was political and economic collapse, inter-militia and inter-tribal warfare, humanitarian and migrant crises, widespread human rights violations, the spread of Gaddafi regime weapons across the region and the growth of Isil [Islamic State] in north Africa.” Yet, while the British and the US governments are contorted over the continued warfare, French lust for African oil continue to insure near silence in France on the quagmire in Libya. While the debates about what happened Benghazi on September 11, 2012 dominate the e mail scandals of the US electoral process, there has been insufficient debate in Africa on the ongoing farce in Libya that had been predicated on ‘humanitarian grounds to protect innocent civilians.’ With each passing pay and more information on the fighting between three rival ‘governments,’ even the efforts of the UN Security Council to impose a government with authority over the Central bank has been unsuccessful in the face of the permanent members of the Security Council of the UN supporting different factions of this prolonged battle for the control of Libyan resources. Indeed, the NATO leaders have been exposed as the war that had been used the fig leaf of ‘responsibility to protect’ churn out death, refugees and extremists in Libya. Objectively, NATO provided military and material support for elements that were later called ISIS. Western news sources ruminate on the fact that that Libya has become a safe haven for ISIS and pose an imminent threat to Europe. However, the debates about intensified western presence fail to acknowledge the role of NATO in laying the basis for the current foothold of ISIS in Libya. In the immediate aftermath of the Libyan intervention, the Western media had portrayed NATO's campaign as an unmitigated success. ‘Libya had been ushered into a new era of democratic progress’, ran the mantra of the day. Its brave and noble people had thrown off a brutal despot against all odds, assisted by the humanitarian military forces of the Western world. Peace and democracy were soon to arrive for the Libyan people; the NATO intervention was held up as a noble endeavour to be exported throughout Africa and Arabia.” It was after the death of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi that some citizens of the United States began to grasp the depth of the Destruction in Libya. The presentation will note that the 2011 Libya campaign, far from demonstrating NATO's abiding strength, rather exposed its manifold, and growing, weaknesses. In the aftermath of this failed intervention, the destruction of Libya highlights the need for the African Union to take a more robust stand on external military interventions in Africa. Western militarists who support destruction have used the so called war on terror to undermine people’s solidarity all over Africa. One major challenge will be to challenge this military management of the international system so that the intervention in Libya does not have the same repercussions for humanity as the Italian Invasion of Abyssinia in 1935.
“Is now the time? Opportunities for Private Financing of Public Infrastructure in the Global South”
(University of Ghana, 2016-10-25) Macomber, J.
Africa and the world face three large trends: rapid and massive urbanization; current and worsening resource scarcity; and the apparent inability of national governments to mobilize investment in urban infrastructure to get ahead of these problems. At the same time, the world is awash in liquidity as trillions of dollars realize close to zero yield in the global capital markets. How can thoughtful private investment and delivery of public infrastructure be attracted and channeled to address this “infrastructure paradox”? This lecture provides an opportunity to discuss the broader opportunities available for private financing of public infrastructure, and then explore how these opportunities might be exploited and accomplished in western Africa.
Introduction to Ghana's Oil Industry: History and Future Trends
(University of Ghana, 2016-11-09) Aryeetey, M.
Globally, Petroleum and petroleum products have become an essential part of the energy mix; and energy, in turn, has become the lifeblood of human existence. Without energy, our lives would be almost unrecognizable and industrialization will drastically grind to a halt. Over the last century, the demand for petroleum has greatly increased to the extent that it has become the most valuable commodity traded on world markets is proud to be part of an industry that truly powers economies. The global petroleum industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream and downstream. Until recent times, Ghana’s petroleum industry was defined by intermittent acquisition of data and drilling of wells offshore, mainly in the exploration phase with virtually no significant development activities (upstream sector), the importation of crude oil and petroleum products, a relatively small amount of crude refining, and the distribution of refined products, all at the downstream sector. The establishment of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), an Agency under the Ministry of Petroleum in 1983was a bold step that produced the leadership that the local industry needed. GNPC as a national organization was charged with significant responsibilities in respect of petroleum exploration and production. The objectives of the Corporation include efficient exploitation of oil and gas resources within our territories, jobs creation, general economic development, economic and energy security, vertical integration and the maximization of shareholder value. Over the last 30 years GNPC have worked with the Government and other sister Agencies in restructuring and positioning the nascent industry for the big take off. From 1970 when the first offshore well was drilled and the first oil discovery was made in the Saltpond basin, to several marginal oil and gas discoveries made later on in the Tano basin, to the first deep-water well drilled by Phillips Petroleum in 900m of water in the Cape Three Points sub basin, and the extensive data acquisition offshore, Ghana had come a long way before our significant breakthrough in 2007. Finding new oil and gas reserves is not just about gaining rights to licenses and having access to capital and technology, but also about laws, regulations and permits established by authorities and by governments. It is also about forming and managing partnerships, negotiating complex deals and working with the complex geopolitics of the industry. The discovery of commercial quantities of oil and gas in deep-water offshore Ghana made it evident that the current legal and regulatory framework governing the industry is not robust enough to counter the challenges. The Government and other stakeholders therefore set out to tightened up framework to adequately protect the interest of Ghana and to ensure maximum benefits from the natural resource for the people of Ghana. The new E&P Bill (Act 919) is expected to introduce a lot of clarity and transparency in the industry. The story of the oil industry in recent times has not been very good. From late 2014 to date, oil projects around the globe, including Ghana, have suffered delays, cancellation and reduced investment as a result of the global slump in oil prices. This low oil price, if sustained, could mark the beginning of a long-term drop in upstream oil and natural gas investment. Ghana's case is worsened by the maritime border disputes with Cote D'Ivoire. The dispute has adversely affected operations in our most prospective sedimentary basin. However, as a country, Ghana is lucky to have in recent times two producing oil and gas field with a third expected to reach first oil early 2017. Going into the future, how do we ensure that our industry remains competitive and attractive to investment in these difficult periods of low capital? More importantly, how do we all ensure that the country maximizes the use of its share of the revenue from oil proceeds for the benefits of Ghanaians?
Challenges and opportunities for the comprehensive universities: Planning for the future and unleashing excellence.
(University of Ghana, 2017-03-28) Okine, E.
Universities remain critical for the future of our societies and remain as prominent representatives of societal aspirations. In universities we seek knowledge, educate citizens, ask big questions facing society and push the limits of human understanding and knowledge. Indeed, we provide the tools for critical thinking and analyses, provide global perspectives, and continuous learning and lifelong learning ambitions. Employers, however, are grappling with both the shortage of skilled workers and skill gaps in the workers they employ. Specifically, the skill gaps have been reported to be very evident in technical, job specific skills and the so-called soft skills. Universities, thus, face several challenges including; the expectations of students to be provided with experiences that justify their presence on our campuses; increased societal expectations that see universities as glorified trade schools, and the demands that most of our research misses what matters most to society. We will discuss the challenges and opportunities that universities face in their quest to be relevant, and responsive to meet the priorities being advanced by society by building unique student experiences, enhancing our academic programming, connecting to the communities we serve and enhancing our research culture.
‘Building resilient livelihoods for the poorest through social protection: Lessons for Ghana’.
(University of Ghana, 2017-03-28) Sabates-Wheeler, R.
Graduation’ is increasingly stated as an objective of social protection interventions. This lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding graduation as a sustained improvement in livelihoods over time rather than simply an exit from social protection support. For sustained positive changes to occur in the livelihood dynamics of the most vulnerable in society, social protection programmes must be coordinated and harmonised within and across sectors. Lessons will be drawn from a variety of national social protection programmes across the globe to think about ways in which future social protection initiatives can be better adapted and tailored to the needs and rights of the poorest.
Archives and the Public Good – 70 Years of University of Ghana’s Contribution to Unifying Ghanaian Cultures: The J.H. Kwabena Nketia Archives in Perspective
(University of Ghana, 2018-06-08) Opoku-Boateng, J.
National independence in many African countries has been followed by a cultural self-assessment. Many African heritage institutions as well as some institutions of learning, therefore, started undertaking research and documentation of their cultural traditions in the wake of and after independence. The initiative taken by the University of Ghana to record, preserve, promote and disseminate knowledge of traditional music and related arts, is a remarkable achievement of the twentieth century. Four years into the establishment of the University of Ghana (UG), the idea of unifying the nation through collecting and archiving Ghanaian musical resources was conceived by young Joseph Hanson Kwabena Nketia, a research fellow in African Studies at the Sociology Department of the University. Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia embraced this initiative and generously supported the young Nketia with the necessary resources. The unique collection hosted by the Archives has brought new challenges and insights, not only to the music public, but also to scholars, researchers, educators and record managers in Ghana and beyond.
Fractured Kinships: Africans on the Continent and in the Diaspora
(University of Ghana, 2018-09-27) Asiedu, A.M.
In an impassioned public lecture at the University of Ghana in late 2016, the Barbadian history scholar and Vice-Chancellor of the University of The West Indies, Hilary Beckles, just barely fell short of accusing Africans on the continent of selling out their kin in the diaspora. He was not referring to the active participation of Africans on the continent in the enslavement of those taken away in slave ships, but in their inactive and sometimes opposing stance to their current demands for reparation. Sitting in the audience, for the very first time in my life, a realization of how very little I personally knew or cared about the cause of Africans in the diaspora, especially as regards their demands for reparations, dawned on me. I also understood for the first time that there is still a deep pain felt by the descendants of Africans forcefully removed from their homes in Africa to strange new lands as slaves. A pain perhaps not shared by contemporary Africans on the continent, despite they also having suffered the indignation of the slave trade and its later twin devil of colonialism. There appears to be a disconnect, or what I am choosing to call a fracture of kinship between Africans on the continent those in the Diaspora. In this paper, I shall examine some representations of this fractured kinship in African literature, particularly in a selection of plays, by Africans both on the continent and in the Diaspora. In examining these texts, it is hoped that the nature and scope of this fracture and possible remedies may be unearthed.
The Emergence of Political Marketing and its Impact on Democracy.
(University of Ghana, 2019-01-31) Lees-Marshment, J.
t is established that the emergence of the political consulting industry in other parts of the world, for example, has contributed to job creation, enhanced the life work balance of politicians and contributed significantly to nations’ GDP and democratisation. Hence, this public lecture is organised to initiate a national conversation with key stakeholders on how we can broaden the democratic dividend through effective political management.
‘Europe’s’ war’: African migration and the politics of representation in European policy making
(University of Ghana, 2019-02-27) Crawley, H.
In this seminar Professor Heaven Crawley, Director of the new UKRI GCRF South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub draws on her research over more than 25 years to explore the politics of representation in European policy making in response to migration from Africa. She argues that it is impossible to understand the European policy response towards African migration, without first reflecting on the ways in which ‘Africa’ is constituted in the European imagination and the role of the media in this process. The media, in all its increasingly diverse forms, both reflects and reinforces unequal power relations through images and discourses which socially construct and categorise people and places. This, in turn, opens up possibilities and justifications for certain types of policy intervention - including in relation to the migration of Africans to Europe. Drawing in particular on representations of migration before, during and after the so-called European ‘migration crisis’ of 2015-16, Professor Crawley suggests that the most significant metaphor utilised in the framing of contemporary Africa is that of ‘the Dark Continent’ (Jarosz 1992) through which ‘Africa’ is ‘flattened out’ and homogenised, perceived as having certain innate (uniformly negative) characteristics. This process relies on dualities that reflect and reinforce (hierarchical) ideas of ‘Them’ and ‘Us’. Whilst the arrival of African ‘boat people’ has served as a ‘focusing event’ for European policy makers, politicians and the public (Ryan 2008) these representations are in fact nothing new. For at least three decades, media and dominant policy discourses have conveyed an apocalyptic image of an increasingly massive exodus of desperate Africans fleeing poverty and war and trying to enter Europe, threatening its resources, structure and identity as a ‘civilised’ continent. The language of ‘waves’, ‘Assault’ and even ‘war’ used by politicians when describing migration from African is simply another variation of this representational form which has been used to mobilise anti-immigrant sentiment in favour of political and policy agendas that often have little if anything to do with migration itself.
Development of Regulatory Infrastructure for Nuclear Power Programme in Ghana
(University of Ghana, 2019-04-04) Aboh, I.J.K.
Nuclear energy and its techniques have been powerful tools applied in different areas of human activities since the early 19th century. In Ghana it is being applied in health, agriculture, industry, environment, research, education and training, among others. There is renewed global interest in the use of nuclear power for stable source of electricity generation and Ghana is one of the countries in Africa considering the introduction of nuclear power into its energy mix. The infrastructure necessary for a safe, secure and sustainable nuclear power programme must be planned and prepared carefully and requires long-term commitment. Developing the infrastructure for a successful introduction of nuclear power requires many activities such as building national institutions, establishing a legal and regulatory framework, developing human resources and financial strategies, addressing radioactive waste management and the involvement of stakeholders. There are three main organisations that are involved in this infrastructure development, namely; the Owner Operator of the Nuclear Power Plant, the Technical Support Organisation and the Regulatory Authority, all coordinated by the Ghana Nuclear Power Programme Orgnisation (GNPPO). The Nuclear Regulatory Authority Act, 2015 (Act 895) established the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) to provide for the regulation and management of activities and practices for the peaceful use of nuclear material or energy, radioactive material or radiation; to provide for the protection of persons and the environment against the harmful effects of radiation hazards; to ensure the effective implementation of Ghana’s international obligations and related matters. This presentation focuses on the development of the regulatory infrastructure for nuclear power programme in Ghana. Issues to be discussed will include: * Legal and Regulatory Framework * Regulatory Approach * Regulatory Risk * Independence and Regulatory Effectiveness * Regulatory Management System * Human Resource and Competency Development * Relationship with Stakeholders * International Regulatory Cooperation * Challenges and the way Forward
Free Movement in ECOWAS and Beyond
(University of Ghana, 2019-04-17) Teye, J.; Bisong, A.
While political narratives and media images on migration tend to focus on its negative impacts, recent scholarship has shown that mobility within Africa presents both opportunities and challenges for sustainable livelihoods and economic empowerment. Recognizing the potential and actual benefits of intra-regional mobility, the regional economic communities in Africa have adopted free movement schemes to facilitate mobility. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) adopted the Protocol on Free Movement of Persons, Right of Residence and Establishment in 1979 (Protocol A/P.1/5/79). This was followed by the formulation of a number of agreements and supplementary protocols aimed at facilitating the mobility of labour and goods within the ECOWAS region. While these instruments provide guidelines for promoting intra-regional mobility and regional integration, there is enough evidence to suggest that the full implementation of the Rights of Residence and Establishment has not been achieved. Although it is acknowledged that evidence-based data is needed for enhancing the implementation of this ECOWAS Protocol, the obstacles to their implementation are quite poorly understood. In this seminar, we examine the achievements and challenges to the implementation of ECOWAS free movement protocols. Relying on the lessons learnt from ECOWAS, we also discuss the potential benefits and challenges of the African Union Free movement protocol, which is largely based on the ECOWAS protocol. We conclude with policy recommendations for governing mobility within Africa.
Thoughts Towards a Conceptual Understanding of African Migration
(University of Ghana, 2019-04-24) Garba, F.
African migration is largely studied within discipline specific frameworks and models. The bulk of these models were developed from studies on migration in North America. Accordingly, there is little context-based conceptual and theoretical understanding of African migration rooted in the socio-historical underpinnings of migration on the continent. Existing dominant theories (read models) were developed within the context of migration to the United States from Mexico, and other parts of the Americas. These “theories” are typically applied to African cases with little, if any, regard for broad or specific migration histories: How they (histories) shape and are influenced by ideas of space, belonging, travel and accomplishment. Data on African migration is routinely processed in “finished theories.” When the data does not fit, as often happens, an explanation is sought while the model remains intact. Writing about this practice in the discipline of economics where many of the migration “theories” were developed, Thandika Mkandawire said Africa serves as an exception. Africa’s exception is mentioned in footnotes while theory moves on. Researchers working on African migration and aware of the limitations of applying the existing “theories" which do not fit the reality they are studying, complain about the practice, and then rather curiously, proceed to use or deploy them. The continuation of the practice means that the notions of territoriality held in African societies are treated only descriptively. And local power configurations, global political economy and local and general histories of a connected world that intersects with the existing patterns and practice of migration on the continent is given inadequate attention. By tracing the dynamics of territoriality and mobility in select African social formations, and using empirical material on the conception of mobility and claim to belonging by African migrants in South Africa and Germany, the presentation will put forward some thoughts around concepts and categories that could be considered in thinking theoretically about the place of movement in Africa. The presentation will grapple with the following questions: Why is concept important? Are concepts rooted or rootless? What do categories make apparent and what do they assume without making obvious?
Questing for Excellence
(2019-10-17) Akuffo, S.A.B.
This lecture gears towards the sensitisation of audience on what goes into the quest for excellence. The lecture begins by defining ‘excellence’ and states that, it is different from what is termed perfection. Further, seven acts of excellence are identified, namely having a defined initiative before beginning a new task; setting priorities to achieve desired results; going the extra mile to achieve excellence in our job description; being ready for the moment by preparing adequately to execute a task; reviewing of past successes and previewing future successes to serve as a motivation to achieving excellence; performing tasks with precision by paying attention to details; and not to allow ourselves to be discouraged by peoples’ negativity. The lecture then touches on five challenges to excellence, namely: resistance to positive change; effective deployment of new technologies as a result of huge investment required to execute tasks; how to strategize to achieve excellence; people’s inefficiency making us look inefficient because they fail to support our goal of achieving excellence; and lack of, or inadequate information hindering ones full potential to be realised. The lecture goes on to encourage the audience to celebrate excellence, and that, when they celebrate excellence, they are invariably telling others that, to do less is to shirk one’s duty to oneself, community and nation. Similarly, in a nation where excellence is rewarded, mediocrity will be shrunk and greatness will beckon. A national commitment to excellence will mean that we all expect the best from each other; that excuses will not do; and everyone will be held to the same high standards. Excellence, according to the lecture is demanded from everybody, and that, the Judicial Service of Ghana has chosen to walk the path of excellence by using ICT tools to deliver expeditious justice. The lecture ends with encouraging the audience, that they can achieve excellence, and that, others have done it. Also, everybody should work towards making Ghana grow to reflect the famous declaration “we are free forever!”
Obesity a Menace to the Health of Adults in Ghana: Epidemiology and Policy Implications
(2019-10-24) Yawson, A.
Introduction: Trends of obesity in low- and middle-income countries continue to increase. Obesity increases the risk of hypertension and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) with all the related-health consequences worldwide and in Africa. Population level changes in body weight in Ghana over a ten-year period was assessed. Method: This analysis is based on data from SAGE Ghana Wave 0 (2003/2004) and SAGE Ghana Wave 2 (2014/2015) in over 3500 adults 18 years and older. Body mass index was used as the main outcome measure. Changes in population level prevalence of obesity over a decade were determined and risk predictors of obesity assessed. Results: Overall, prevalence of obesity in the adult population in Ghana has more than doubled within a decade (from 5.5% in 2004 to 13.4% in 2014). Obesity was higher in women than men (20.7% vs. 4.8%) and relatively higher among urban than rural dwellers (18.2% vs. 8.5%). The southern regions of Ghana had relatively higher levels of obesity (highest in the Greater Accra region, 16.1% in 2004 and 28.6% in 2014). In both sexes, prevalence of obesity was highest among those in their middle-ages (41-50 years), those with formal education (13.9%) and persons with sedentary lifestyles/ physically inactive (16.6%). Adults who consumed alcohol had high proportion of obesity in both 2004 and 2014. Generally, obese adults in Ghana had other co-morbid conditions (hypertension and diabetes) i.e. obese adults had significant higher levels of blood pressure. Conclusion: Obesity among adults in Ghana (18 years and older) has increased over two-folds in a decade. The analysis provides concrete evidence and need to intensify action across the country on the 2012 National Policy for the Prevention and Control of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases in Ghana to shift the trajectory of factors contributing to the rise in NCDs and meet WHO’s NCD Target #7 to halt the rise in obesity and diabetes by 2025.
Understanding the politics of development: Context, Capacity and Coalitions
(2019-11-19) Hulme, D.
This presentation provides an overview of the findings of the Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre (ESID) a partnership of global universities and research institutes directed from the University of Manchester (www.effective-states.org). It reviews earlier thinking about the politics of development and then introduces ESID’s extended political settlements analytical framework. Ghana has been a major country partner for ESID research, conducted during 2012-2018. Briefly, it presents a number of key findings and concludes with an examination of the three factors that ESID considers essential for getting ‘development to work’: context, capacity and coalitions. Three forms of coalitions (ruling/policy/delivery) are especially important for fostering development but, their outcomes are shaped by context and state capacity. Here, and in contrast to the ‘good governance’ agenda, we find that capacity does not simply evolve from democratic practices but is often associated with more authoritarian regimes with long-term visions of development. See the ESID website for more details – and open access to the many books that ESID has published with Oxford University Press and others.
Governing the Mega Urban Agglomerations of the BRICS: Failures, Success and Lessons.
(2019-12-02) Harrison, P.
Far-reaching political and economic transitions since the 1980s have induced composite changes within the urban agglomerations of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), and other countries within the ‘emerging economy’ category. These agglomerations have become larger, more complex, more spatially diffuse, and more varied. The changes are the product of an entangled relationship between politics, economic process, regulatory regime, the material production of the built environment, and more, across intersected scales. The paper explores, through a comparative lens, the dual process of material expansion and reconfiguration, and of governance formation. The paper shows, first, how limited our current analytical constructs (e.g. ‘metropolitan regions’, ‘city regions’, ‘mega regions’, ‘agglomerations’) are against the scale, diversity, layering and interconnectedness of recent territorial formation. It argues, secondly, that there are in fact governance responses in all countries of the BRICS to the enhanced complexity of the urban composite. There is an ongoing tension between the processes of material change which are stretching the urban, and diffusing boundaries, and the requisites of governance, which require some level of bounding but, there are, nevertheless, intriguing pointers from the BRICS to governance practices that may accommodate or mitigate this tension. This paper draws insights from the failures and successes of city region governance across the BRICS for other contexts of complex and expanded urban spatial formation, including along the west coast of Africa.
Improving nutrition in rural Ghana: A glimpse at the first decade of the University of Ghana Nutrition Research and Training Centre
(University of Ghana, 2020-03-17) Marquis, G.; Asiedu, D.K.
Large disparities in nutrition persist in Ghana -- across regions and urban-rural settings as well as by sociodemographic classifications including sex, age, education, and wealth. Over the last 10 years, the University of Ghana Nutrition Research and Training Centre (NRTC) in the Eastern Region has provided support for national and international researchers to enhance the understanding of nutrition disparities and design interventions to improve rural lives. Nutritional status is affected by many determinants that must be addressed through coordinated activities in health, education, agriculture, finance, business, among other areas. Close collaborations through participatory research methodologies with stakeholders – from community residents to district directors – enhance the potential of sustainable intervention benefits. The projects at the NRTC work with local institutions to enrich the knowledge and skills of district staff to promote their services to the community and expand residents’ ability to address the daily challenges to providing a nutritious diet and healthy environment for their families. A decade of training and research at the NRTC has demonstrated that multi-sector approaches can improve rural nutrition and well-being.
