Chiefs, land and the state in Ghana: Dynamic governance systems in the era of mutual economic interests
The constitution of Ghana grants chiefs the role of overseeing land governance. The power of chiefs oflate has hinged more on the economic rents gained from land transactions. A circular relationship does exist
between chiefs, land and politicians who represent the state. Land is the medium as a natural resource whose usefunctions is used for bargaining between chiefs and politicians. politicians and state institutions responsible forland and is related products such as forest, waters, sand, gravels, rocks and minerals are actively negotiating withchiefs and changing rules and norms that allow for mutual benefit of both groups. The citizenry have a lesser voicein this process as they scramble to secure housing land, farm lands and rights to minerals and fishing for theirlivelihoods. the bargaining processes have involved granting more powers to chiefs in making ownership decisions
over land rather than playing a consultative and collaborative role. A critical question to ask is whether chiefs andpoliticians act in the interest of the citizens or for their own economic and political interest? The survival ofpoliticians, law makers and officials supretending over land is mutually linked to granting more rights and allowing
the breaking of rules by traditional leader for political support in elections, resource expropriation contracts and insome instances crude theft of public lands for personal gain. The political economy discourse needs an expansion
to cover the modern forms of primitive accumulation enabled by the ability to change rules, norms and practices infavour of more powerful actors in natural resource governance.

When the state recognizes resources: A case study of resource management in the Southern border area ofMozambique

The state's purpose of resource management changes over time. For many African states, land resource
management has long been to control land tenure for the extraction of underground resources. However, as land
law reforms have taken place in African countries since the 1990s, managing the land right itself has become an
objective. Both changes occur because the state has recognized new economic values for the times. Resources
deemed valuable are not limited to land alone. The people living in the southern border region of Mozambique, thefocus of this paper, were once viewed as human resource, a source of labor based on the state's economic interests.
However, as the state emphasized land resource management, they were forced to relocate with the establishmentof national parks. On the other hand, when the state introduced competitive elections, they were viewed as votecenters based on the state's political interests. This paper explores the relationship between the state and theserural communities.

Preliminary reflections on the nexus between food security and climate change responses in Central Africa
Ecological considerations are generally what is put forward when viewing Central Africa. The Congo Basin
had attracted attention and emerge as one of the main elements of the environmental diplomacy of the region.
Global ecological transition is considering the sustainable management of this ecosystem as important. However,the IPCC report are mentioning the need to have food security as an important element of the sustainable transition.
In Central Africa, food security is intimately related to the forest. Forest can either provide direct products such as

NTFP, but also ecological services such as pollination, local water cycling, etc… searching for food thus depends
on the nature and state of the forest stands. Searching for food is generally done at the expense of forest stands.
However, the solution to climate change may not happen without taking into consideration the food component.
The current contribution aims to analyze (1) The contribution of the food system to ecological fragilization, and(2) The way food security related to the forest is a frame in the climate change responses (Both Adaptation and
Mitigation). The study ends with a discussion on how to better take into consideration food in the climate change
response in the Congo Basin.

Local community’s perceptions on their participation in mountain gorilla conservation around Volcanoes National
Park in Rwanda: Case of Kinigi sector

This study assesses local communities’ perceptions on their participation in mountain gorillas’
conservation around Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Data are gathered through individual semi-structured
and focus group interviews. Participants are selected purposively based on their living experience, societal role, andexperience in conservation programs. The data are analyzed using qualitative methods. The findings indicate that
local community members adjacent to the VNP in Kinigi sector have positive perceptions towards mountain gorillas
conservation. Due to the benefit obtained from the park and mountain gorillas’ tourism, education and theirinvolvement in conservation. They contribute to mountain gorillas’ conservation through the activity they do insideand outside the park-like, stone fences reparation, anti-poaching, educate others who are not in cooperatives about
mountain gorillas’ conservation, conducting morning and evening patrols shift around the park. They haveopportunities in mountain gorillas’ conservation such as job opportunities, markets of their product, networking
and infrastructure development. The challenges that hinder them to participate in mountain gorillas’ conservation
are crop-raiding, poverty, culture, and ignorance. The Findings show possible solutions like cooperative formation,
improving their livelihood and increasing awareness. This study recommends appropriate relationship andcommunication between park management and local communities for better conservation of Volcanoes NationalPark.

Legacy of the anti-colonial movement and forestry policies in the 1950s on democratisation in Ghana
This paper examines the impact on the national anti-colonial movement in the 1950s and the rise of forest
timber exports on the reform of local administration in Ghana in the prelude to independence. The late 1940s
witnessed a spontaneous movement of social discontent against the colonial authority, resulting in massdemonstrations, riots and boycotts in both urban and rural areas. However the demands of the popular movement
became compromised as with the particpation of the CPP in the transitional government to independence. A
significant arena of compromise occurred in the forestry sector, which experienced a boom in the 1950s. To secure
the timber resources for the state and timber contractors the government turned to the chiefs and recognised theircustodianship over timber, resulting in the strengthening of chiefs control over land and natural resources. Since
then the forestry sector has upheld the customary rights of chiefs as a way of strengthening its control over natural
resources and weakening the position of farmers. The paper provides examples of the increasing appropriation of
the rights of farmers to natural resources.

The changing agrarian structure in Zambia: Is there a silent revolution?
The agrarian sector in Zambia has undergone significant changes over the last two decades. One of themain outcomes of these changes is evident in the agrarian structure which is slowly transforming from a bimodal toa trimodal structure. This is evident in the rapid growth of the medium-scale farming units, which in 1990 accountfor only 2 percent of the total farm units in the country. The share of the medium-scale farm units in total farmunits has now grown to about 20 percent, with the medium-scale sector now controlling the largest (57 percent)share of farmland in the country. Using data from the Post Harvest Survey (PHS) and the Crop Forecast Survey(CFS) both conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture together with the Central Statistical office (CSO) as well as
the Rural Agricultural Livelihood Survey (RALS) conducted by the Indaba Agricultural Policy Research Institute(IAPRI). This paper examines the changing agrarian structure, including the drivers behind these changes andthe implications on the economy and society broadly. The paper shows that this changing agrarian structure has
not made significant contribution to structural transformation of the agricultural sector as evident by the declining
sector’s productivity and value added.

Accumulation by dispossession: The scourge of large-scale land deals in Africa’s urban fringe.
The growth and transformation of African cities are driven by multinational developers, businesspeople,
urban citizens, and political stakeholders. From ultra-modern shopping centres and gated communities to private
cities, urbanisation in Africa has gathered momentum. This paper explores the effects of large-scale land deals fora private city development project in Ghana – the Appolonia City of Light. From the conceptual lens ofaccumulation by dispossession, the article sheds light on the new forms of urban inequalities that arise from thisproject. It is argued that the land acquisition for urban development has exacerbated existing inequalities andtransformed the socioeconomic, spatial, and institutional context of the community. The project is beneficial tomultinational corporations who accumulate through ‘sweet land deals’ legitimised by the state. At the community
level, there is centralisation of wealth among local elites who brokered such deals to make economic and political
gains. Conversely, livelihoods dependent on the environment suffer dispossession in various forms. First, the lossof farmlands creates livelihood uncertainties. Second, the commodification of communal land disrupts social
relations and land tenure arrangements and exacerbates chieftaincy disputes in the community.

Rwanda’s agriculture at a crossroad?: Civil society in agriculture policy making in the age of climate change
Over the last decade, with the increased influx of external funding for mainstreaming climate change
adaptation and mitigation, civil society organization (CSO) coalitions have emerged as the key actor in the
promotion of agroecology for climate resilience and sustainable food security in Rwanda. In February 2022, their
networking and advocacy efforts yielded the establishment of a multi-stakeholder national agroecology stirringcommittee for developing an agroecology implementation strategy roadmap that is expected to be incorporated into
the next Strategic Plan for Agricultural Transformation and National Agriculture Policy. The steering committee
is composed of representatives from Rwanda’s Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources and Ministry ofEnvironment, networks of CSOs, international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) funding their initiatives,
national and international research institutions, and Food and Agriculture Organization in Rwanda. The operating
context of CSOs in Rwanda is often perceived as a difficult one especially when they go beyond their expected roleof service delivery and ‘gap filling’ in accordance with the government’s development plans. This paper explores
how the coalitions of CSOs engage in policy processes in order to mainstream agroecology in Rwanda’s agriculture
sector. The paper presents preliminary findings of ongoing research with particular focus on conflicting interests
among different stakeholders, strategies used by the CSOs and challenges they faced in the process of influencing
national policies.

Mozambique and rural development projects: Who will cultivate the land?
Mozambique has implemented different rural development models in the last 47 years of its independence.
Some examples include agricultural collectivization and communal villages, the opening to a neoliberal economy
with low state participation in the market, the green revolution or models based on sustainability. The fever of the'discoveries' of mineral resources has attracted investors to the mining area, while young people are attracted tothis sector or entrepreneurship. However, empirical studies have revealed that rural youth are pushed into mining
and a few into agriculture or fishing. Who will cultivate the land? Who's going to do the fishing? Here are thequestions in this article. The literature review and empirical evidence reveal that none of these models has
reinforced the formation of a workforce that can work the land, much less ensure the reduction of food insecurity
in rural areas. Instead, these models increased the importation of food and the loss of agricultural labour without
being due to industrialization.

Kutora in Mafungabusi: Occupation against state exercise of power
Mafungabusi Forest in Northern Zimbabwe provides a unique ecological setting that creates enduring liminality
for the state as it is caught in-between ceding the forest to surrounding communities or retaining it under state
control. This is de facto what happened over the last two decades following invasions into the forest as a result of
Zimbabwe’s Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) in 2000. The case also represents a site where theextreme violent side of the state was unleashed for the second time in early 2019 on forest settlers. The use of brutal
state force against land claimants left local people in a liminal situation about what course of action to take next as
all avenues have not resulted in getting their rights to forest land restored. The technical state (the Forestry
Commission) has equally been befuddled with the back and forth between the central state and neighbouring forest
claimants. Forest occupation symbolises many forms of contestations against state control over natural resources(land, forests, wildlife), as do other forms of political actions.

Wango! Our salt!: Contestations over land and lagoon management in salt winning
Communities at the frontlines of extractivist development experience varied forms of violence expressedin business practices, land grabs and the reinvention of cultural norms that govern community resources. Songor
and the Keta Lagoons in Ghana are central to salt winning, artisanal salt mining, and industrial salt production in
Ghana. While salt is a mineral resource and therefore, constitutionally nationalised, its governance remained in thehands of customary authorities for a long time but with some occasional and protracted state interventions in Ada
Songor in the context of rising violent conflicts. However, since the early 2000s, there have been a renewed State
interest in the sector as its neoliberal development shift took new turn with state incentivising foreign and local

capital to invest in the salt sector. In this paper, we sought to connect the roles of both the Ghanaian State andcustomary institutions in the ongoing dispossession of people from land and lagoon in the frontier areas. We also
centred the ecological, cultural, and economic concerns that have shaped the struggles of local people against theiralienation from their natural resources as evidence of the extractive nature of both customary and statutory States.

Richard AsanteMediators or kingpins? Chieftaincy and illegal mining in Ghana
Natural resources exploitation has been instrumental in global development. African economies areintegrated into this capitalist system as natural resource exporters. These resources provide direct and indirect
benefits as raw materials for industrialization, exports, foreign exchange, employment and income, technology
transfers, and wellbeing. But the mechanisms of exploitation of these natural resources in countries like Ghana haveraised serious economic, security, and environmental discourses. In Ghana, non-regulated small scale mining,
popularly known as galamsey has ruined the environment and local livelihoods. In some of the existing analysis off
the galamsey menace, either socio-economic or security perspectives are emphasised. There are, however, recent
studies that try to move the discourse on galamsey, economy, and security beyond binaries to highlight the complex
ways in which economic-security, and socio-security issues play out with diverse institutions, actors, and interests.
Galamsey is a complex phenomenon with social, economic, political, environmental and security dimensions. Yet
Ghana government campaign against the phenomenon has been framed within a security lens. The oversecuritisation galamsey is highly problematic since it obscures the economic, social, political, and culturaldimensions, including the place of traditional authorities in the galamsey space. This paper examines how
chieftaincy is mediating and implicated in illegal mining activities, popularly known as galamsey in Ghana.

Local conflicts over land and water resources in the Gushegu Municipality in the Northern Region of Ghana:
Promoting local level dispute resolution and peaceful coexistence between local farmers and Fulani herdsmen

This paper looks at the increasing use of local dispute resolution mechanisms for conflict resolution in the
Gushegu Municipality in Northern Ghana. Crop farming and animal rearing remain the dominant livelihood
activities in the Gushegu Municipality. Growing competition over diminishing grazing land and water sources
between local community farmers and Fulani cattle herders in particular have resulted in several violent conflicts
resulting in loss of lives and destruction of properties. Human lives are also lost and the conflict areas often lose
several years of development gains. Using qualitative field methods for the study, local farmers, Fulani herdsmen,
traditional authorities, unit level local authority appointees and committees were targeted for interviews and group
discussions. In the search for lasting local conflict management strategies, many local farmers and Fulani cattle
herders are gradually using local systems such as traditional authorities, unit committees, and religious and opinion
leaders to have their disputes settled. Local community persons and groups support in peace building efforts making
the process more of building consensus as well as cost effective. The Police are also ready to allow the community
resolve conflicts between farmers and herders once local leaders commit to some peace process.

A land access redistribution approach to minimsing land conflicts
This paper addresses land relations in conflict-prone environments. It engages with current land

management and its outcomes for conflicts and tensions in Northern Ghana. With a qualitative study of theparticular land management in the Gushegu district in northeastern Ghana, the paper offers an alternative approachto minimizing conflicts and tensions over access to land, particularly between farming and livestock herding. Cropfarming and livestock herding are major agricultural activities in the district, alongside forestry. While farming andlivestock keeping sometimes blur into each other around the same household, conflicts and tension between
farming and herding are common. Yet, for a greater part of the society, conflicts have been minimized throughsome informal land access redistribution between farming, herding, and forestry. This paper proposes a land accessredistribution beyond established property rights for studying land management and associated conflicts in rural
Africa.

The quest for natural resource-based development in Africa: realities, challenges, and opportunities
Over the past decade there has been a resurgence of the possibility of resource- based development in
Africa by numerous international institutions such as UNECA, UNCTAD, Bloomberg. World Bank, internationalNGOs, and some African leaders. The popular assumption behind this growing optimism is anchored in improved
economic, political, environmental, and social governance of the various countries and shifts in the global
development system. Indeed, this focus on governance and management of the extractives has prioritized local
content and other policies to promote and sustain economic diversification via strengthening of linkages.
Notwithstanding this optimistic viewpoint, my key argument is that the relationship between extractive (mining)and development is a contingent phenomenon. The premise is that mining and its related institutional,
technological, industrial, policy, and wider stakeholder dynamics at multi-scalar levels embodies a complex system
whose outcomes are unpredictable, non-linear, and emergent. In this presentation, I will discuss a historical policy
overview of mining in Africa. The essence of this overview is to place Africa’s case in a critical perspective. These
historical policy joists are: colonial, post-colonial, rise of neoliberal era/structural adjustment era, and national
control and ownership. The third section will interrogate in aggregate terms the standard or orthodox national
revenue management and adduce reasons for the inevitable need for diversification beyond the often-cited issue of
price volatility. In the fourth section will examine the daunting extractive (mining)-development nexus and will
elaborate on the African Mining Vision and its performance so far. The fifth section focuses on the preconditional
factors crucial for the success of resource-based development. Indeed, I argue that structural transformation isnecessary for forging linkages and diversification to produce the constituent elements of development. Thus, thenecessary political economy and strategic considerations will be discussed. Finally, I will discuss aspects of the global
governance system and regional integration germane to the extractive sector and development prospects in Africa.

People on the move and right to land in Africa: A case study of Burundian refugees A
There are two distinctive features in the African customary land tenure system practiced today. One isthat a person’s right to land is closely connected to his/her membership to a community. Another is that since
his/her right to land is like usufruct, rather than ownership, it is very important to be present and use the land inorder to claim one’s right to it. This brings us to a question; what happens to a person’s right to land, when s/hevoluntarily or involuntarily moves out of the place temporarily? This paper explores this question through a casestudy of Burundian refugees who live in a camp in Malawi. For many of them, Malawi isn’t the first country of
refuge. They used to live in camps in Tanzania, but when these camps were closed in early 2010s, they were forced

to go back to Burundi. Upon returning to Burundi, they faced a different kind of conflict from the one which madethem flee the country in the first place, i.e., land conflict, and were forced to flee again. This paper discusses thenature of their land conflicts focusing on its relationship with their temporary absence and the political regime of
Burundi.

African states and development: Implications of Rwanda’s developmentalism
African state has been attracted wide attention since long, particularly because of its close relations with
African predicaments including economic crises and conflicts. In this context, the weakness of the state institutions
has been emphasized. However, African states cannot be understood monolithically, as some countries havepromoted the development in recent years. Rwanda would be an example of this. The country’s experience in the
post-genocide era has been often considered as “developmentalism”. This paper attempts to draw out its
implications for the debate of African state and development. In particular, two factors will be examined. The firstis the meanings of the absence of the traditional authorities. Due to the historical reasons, there is no politicalinfluence of customary chiefs in Rwanda. Considering the fact that traditional leaders have had significant influencein most of African countries, how the absence affects the governance deserves serious investigation. The secondly
is effects of the one-party dominant system. During the post-genocide period, Rwanda’s development initiative has
been consistently undertaken by the ruling party, Rwandan Patriotic Front. How the party’s dominance is related
to the effective governance should be scrutinized.

African trade ties and networks
The recent movement toward ratification of the African Continent Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) highlights
the need for a reexamination of the existing trade networks in Africa. This study examines existing trade networks
in African countries. Based on regression analyses based on bilateral trade statistics, it is suggested that existingregional agreements are associated with more trade to some extent, but with exceptions. Moreover, using network
analysis, the African trade ties and their historical changes are considered. Visualization of African trade networks
clearly revealed that the importance of Western trade counterparts was overshadowed by emerging Asian and othercountries. While African intra-regional trade is often described as minimal, network analysis suggests that Africancountries are indeed connected through trade ties even though trade volume may be low.

Exploring the nexus between natural resource management and poverty reduction in East Africa: The context of
RwandaPoverty is a challenge which stresses the citizens of third world countries. Nearly 1.1 billion population
earn less than one dollar per day, and they are facing various challenges which make their lives to be in risks andhardship situation in their everyday life. Similar situation happens in Rwanda whereby 38.05 % of population areliving below under poverty line and this situation pushes the population to relay on natural resources as the sourceof their livelihood. With establishing and implementation of different policies and programs, the poverty reduction

in Rwanda has been impacted significantly in both rural and urban areas. Therefore, various national programs andplans recognize the nexus, natural resources usage and its management issues were not efficiently integrated in
document such as the poverty reduction strategy program. This study aims at exploring the nexus between rural
livelihoods and natural resources management towards poverty reduction in Rwanda. Thus, to reach out theobjective of the study a systematic review from different search database, with analyzing existing literature fromscientific works, and official reports will be used and as well content and meta analysis will be adopted. The study
finally will provide appropriate guiding tool that might be a useful for researchers, policy makers and those who are
involved in poverty reduction activities a cross developing countries in the world to integrate natural resources inthe sustainable livelihoods.

Periodic market networks as a hub of the local resource management: A case study of West CameroonThis presentation aims to reconsider the importance of the local periodic market networks in the
globalizing context. From the 1950s to the 1980s, local markets worldwide were a popular academic topic in various
fields including anthropology, sociology, and economics. Cases in West Africa, Ghana, and Nigeria were wellstudied. One example is Bohannan and Dalton, 1962, “Markets in Africa”. Interest peaked in the 1980s, and is now
almost gone. Some scholars predicted that local markets would be a short-lived, transitory phase between the
introduction of a monetary economy and the eventual establishment of permanent markets, and then ordinary
shops. However, as West Cameroun shows, the periodic market system still remains, and seems to play importanteconomic and social roles in the local area, so it is worth studying the contemporary meaning of periodic markets
in rural-urban relations. This study, based on the case in West province of Cameroon, focuses on the local markets’
mechanism of local resource management (such as agricultural products) and of people’s interaction, searching theroot of establishment in the traditional chiefdoms and under the colonial influence.

Analysing adoption and categorizing adopters of improved rice varieties in Northern Ghana
Many users of agricultural innovations are usually categorized into adopters and non-adopters to facilitate
analysis with univariate models like logit, probit and Tobit, where the dependent variable is one (adoption). Usinga survey data from 385 rice farmers, the study employed frequencies and percentages to categorize adopters, andlogistic regression to analyse factors affecting adoption. The empirical results revealed six different categories ofadopters: early adopters, late adopters and continuous adopters, temporary disadopters, permanent disadopters,
and non-adopters, with a mean adoption level of 51.95%. Outcome of the logistic regression also showed thatfactors including farmers’ awareness of government policies, knowledge of climate change, ownership of mobile
phones, and membership in farmer based organizations, positively affected adoption of agricultural innovations.
However, gender and mechanization negatively affected the farmers’ adoption decisions. The study recommends
that the government collaborates with Non-Governmental and Farmer-Based Organizations to encourage rice
farmers to continuously adopt agricultural innovations in northern Ghana, via interventions like the Planting for
Food and Jobs program. Also, female rice farmers should be encouraged to embark on mechanization andcommercialization of their farming enterprises. Finally, adoption researchers should consider using this study as a
guide when categorizing adopters of agricultural innovations.

Land, labour and technology linkages in food producing regions: a study of two rural districts in Northern Ghana
Farmers’ adoption of commercial agro-inputs have been highlighted as the main solution to problems ofpoverty and hunger in Africa. The research from which these prescriptions emanate have a narrower conception oftechnology and fail to examine how farmers adapt technology in response to changes in land and labour. This paperdraws on frameworks of the human-environment nexus to examine the impacts of changes in land and labour ontechnology among small farmers. Drawing on data from two districts of Northern Ghana, the paper argues that incontexts of relative land availability, farmers are more likely to rely on techniques such as bush fallowing tosuccessfully produce food for home consumption and domestic markets. However an increasing range of agrochemical products and donor-private sector initiatives have also resulted in an increased adoption of herbicides andtractors, especially among wealthier farmers. In contrast, farmers who undertake production in areas of land scarcity
and poor soils increasingly rely on improved seeds and other commercial agro-inputs to prevent declines in crop
yields. The findings from this study show that mainstream research frequently gloss over differences in cultivation
systems and the diverse implications of changes in technology for rural livelihoods.

Factors that determine non-price strategies used by cocoa purchasing clerks in Ghana’s cocoa market
Ghana’s liberalization policy introduced in the 1990s has led to partial privatization in the state-controlledcocoa market. While maintaining the right to determine cocoa bean prices, the Cocoa Marketing Board (cocobod)
has encouraged private companies to enter the domestic cocoa market, provided with a license from cocobod.
Currently, such companies, called License Buying Companies (LBCs) have adopted non-price strategies tocompete for larger market share. This study attempts to identify the factors that determine the use of non-pricestrategies by LBCs. The study has used primary data collected from two leading cocoa producing regions in Ghana:Western North region and Ashanti region. A total of 150 cocoa purchasing clerks (PCs) who work for LBCs at thevillage level were randomly selected and interviewed using structured questionnaire, 13 key informants including
11 cocoa Depo officers and 2 Assembly men were also interviewed to get general understanding of the cocoa
marketing structure at the village and district level. The study will describe in detail the village and regional level
differences in cocoa PCs characteristics, also econometric models will be used to ascertain the regional andindividual level factors that influence the choice of use of non-price strategies by cocoa PCs.

Sources of wood for charcoal production in the Kintampo North District: The case of Asantekwa and Nkwanta
Policymakers and state agencies assume that charcoal is only sourced from stand forests and not fromfarms and fallows and that charcoal burners cut trees indiscriminately. This paper, therefore, seeks to present an
overview of the state of charcoal production and the existing availability of trees for charcoal production from ananalysis of the trees farmers claim to be exploiting for charcoal and their perceptions of the abundance of the main
charcoal species on their farms, and from traders’ analysis of the contents of bags of charcoal offered for sale on themarket. This paper contends that because farmers /charcoal burners select and used a broad range of tree species
for charcoal, and that most of the prime charcoal species continue to be available and constitute a greater portionof the charcoal that is being sold in the Kintampo market, there is no crisis of charcoal production. The paper
further argues that whiles this is not a generally shared perspective, most studies posting a crisis in charcoal, often

assume this from expansion in demand from charcoal rather than engaging in empirical studies of the actual
charcoal resources being transacted and the continued availability of these resources.

The sustainability of a firewood-dependent family livelihood: Mussel processing activity in Chongoene beachAmong the human activities with the most significant climate impact in Mozambique are those that
contribute to deforestation and forest degradation. The burning and deforestation of Chongoene Beach dunes in
Gaza Province, south of the country, for the removal of fresh firewood to process mussels endanger biodiversity
and cause landslides, polluting the atmosphere and soil. This disregards forest regulations that demand the use ofbranches and remains of dead trees. Likewise, the mussel harvesting activity is carried out regardless of the mussel’s
off-season period, endangering mollusc species extinction. Interviews with the traditional local leader, experts fromthe forest, land, and fishing institutions, consult of the national legislation that regulates the latter sectors, andenvironmental, natural, and cultural heritage protection were made. Aerial photos and coastal area satellite imagesof the previous 40 years showed where deforestation occurs, including the study area. The results indicate that the
non-compliance with the mussels’ off-season period and the firewood harvesting regulation is the consequence ofthe non-existing surveillance from the forest and fishing authorities or any other authorized entity. Therefore, thispresentation aims to analyze the sustainability of the family livelihood mussel processing activity in Chongoene
Beach, which is highly dependent on firewood.

Contribution to mangrove ecosystem restoration in Cameroon
In Cameroon, a regressive evolution of the mangrove cover had been noticed during the recent decades.
Of the 3 main blocs of mangrove found in Cameroon, the the Wouri estuary is the main degraded while Rel del Reyis the main wild nature one. The Cameroon estuary mangroves present a degradation situation intermediary
between the 2 blocs. Cameroon mangroves are homes to several human groups and has seen its urban space expand
in recent years. The establishment of human groups and the development of their activities have subjected thenatural space to various pressures due to the perceptions inherent in each social group. In addition to its
development needs and its position as one of Cameroon’s maritime gateways, much infrastructure has beendeveloped there. Thus the principal factors influencing mangrove deforestation and degradation are namely,
population growth, economic and political trends, climate change as well as changes in upstream habitat.
To overcome these precious ecosystem degradation, it is therefore necessary to restore it with previous naturalvegetation generally made with Rhizophora sp. Red mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa) which is the dominant
species of freshwater mangrove. So potential areas of restoration include : Mouanko-Bolondo, Monako, Tiko,
Douala Airport area and Douala-Edéa National Park in the village of Bolondo of Cameroon. Within a recent
REDD+ activity, it was observed that artificial regeneration of mangrove is successful with nursery propagules in
the open than under the shade while regeneration with wildings has a very low successful rate. Thus, reforestationof mangrove will contribute to the preservation of biodiversity, increased resilience and capacity of adaptation to
the effects of climate change, as well as mitigation through the sequestration of carbon generated throughreforestation.

Different trajectories of cocoa production in Tshopo province : what potential for climate change mitigation?
The global demand for cocoa is increasing. As a result, the area under cocoa production is quickly
increasing. Africa alone produces over 70% of world cocoa, with Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire being major producers.
Although listed as a crop driving deforestation and forest degradation, cocoa farming has the potential to actively
participate in the forest restoration. Practised in agroforestry and in fallow/degraded areas, it contributes
significantly to biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, poverty mitigation and other services.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which has a large forest area in the Congo Basin (60%), the world's
largest lung according to recent studies, is becoming a new hotspot for this cash crop in recent decades.
As one of the provinces favourable to the development of this crop, Tshopo in the DRC is seeing its cocoa-growing
areas increase at a cruising speed. Several initiatives of cocoa-growing have coexisted since colonial times. The
objective of this study is to trace the trajectories of cocoa farming in Tshopo province and determine theircontributions to climate change mitigation through the restoration of degraded ecosystems. Thus, all cocoa
development initiatives in Tshopo province will be listed as well as their potential responses to climate change.

Preliminary reflection on water vulnerability due to anthropogenic activities and climate change in the forest
landscapes of the Tshopo Province (D. R. Congo)

In Tshopo, a forested province, in the Northeastern D.R. Congo, the regulation of water availability andquality is one of the key roles of the forest ecosystems to sustain livelihoods as well as to protect communities fromnatural hazards. These ecosystem services are crucial to reduce water vulnerability and provide water of sufficientquality for domestic use in places where the governments’ capacity to manage water resources are insufficient.
However, the forests in Tshopo are threatened by climate change and many others anthropogenic activities. Its
rural landscape is dominated by forests that are going through several transformations exposing water points to
many contaminations. Hence, water emerges as one of the key sectors vulnerable to climate change in the Tshopo
province. As there are few studies focused on the understanding of water availability at the sub-national level in
DRC, this work aims to review the current situation of water and its relation to climate change and forest
degradation in the context of the Tshopo province. It shows the necessity to develop well-defined strategic plans
which consider the contextual specificities, and to find a trade-off between forest and water management strategies
to help respond to water vulnerability risks in the region.

Exploration of forest in areas hit by natural disasters versus SDG accomplishment
Several areas in Mozambique are vulnerable to climate-change influences that drive cyclical events suchas cyclones, floods, and drought. The mid-Limpopo valley in Mozambique is the one hit by these events that havedisrupted community livelihoods made of agriculture, husbandry, and collection of wild fruits and honey.
Meanwhile, the same area is known for its sandalwood, which is very appreciated in the furniture industry. But also
other woods are used to produce charcoal that supplies the cities of Southern Mozambique, including the capitalcity. Daily, train cars and tracks are shipping tons of wood from these areas. Unfortunately, illegal woodcutters andcompanies incite these vulnerable communities to cut without considering the need for preservation or replanting.
As a result, districts of Mabalane, Chicualacula, Chókwe, and Guijá along the Limpopo basin are transformed into

desert areas. Empirical evidence from my Ph.D. training activity, television reports, and news from national
newspapers forms the basis to answer the following query: to what extent is Mozambique ready to respond to the
SDG and how it guarantees communities' sustainability under natural disasters, and in need to survive?

Towards rural development? Cooperative movement in the Gold Coast cocoa industry in retrospect
Cooperative movement in the Gold Coast cocoa industry were a major political and economic force thatfacilitated the marketing and control of the cocoa trade. Through its evolution, the cooperative movement attained
a nationalist character that sought to consolidate and promote the fiscal policies of government and as well possess
control over the social distribution of resources and benefits from the cocoa trade. The cooperative movement havebeen examined from the internal marketing monopoly it possessed and the contradictions that characterised its
political and commercial functions, as well as its capacity to boost production of quality cocoa. This paper thus
examines the contribution of the cooperative movement in the Gold Coast to the development of the cocoa growing
areas. The paper investigates the social and economic impact of the cooperative movement on the development of
the cocoa industry in Ghana.

Climatic risk perception of cocoa farmers and its impact on adaptation strategies: Evidence from Ghana
Climate change has remained a challenge to agricultural land management and a greater threat to the lives
and livelihoods of poor people in developing countries highly dependent on agriculture. To mitigate this threat,
farmers need to adopt climate-smart agricultural technologies. However, adopting these technologies largely
depends on their risk perception of climate change. Hence, this paper uses a composite index measuring cocoa
farmers’ risk perception about climate change and evaluates its impact on adopting climate-smart agricultural
strategies. The index is based on exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity to climate change. A sample of 512
cocoa households was surveyed from the Western North (241) and Ashanti (271) regions of Ghana, with varying
degrees of climate vulnerability. Overall, farmers had medium to high-risk perceptions about climate change.
Results from regression models showed that cocoa farmers with higher climatic risk perception are more likely toadopt on-farm and off-farm climate change strategies to mitigate the effect of climate change and protect theirlivelihood sources. Also, farmers in regions with greater climatic shocks tend to adopt more on-farm strategies tobuffer against climate change. Therefore, understanding farmers’ risk perception about climate change is vital forformulating policies to mitigate its effect on livelihoods.

The governance of social protection policies in a decentralized setting: The interface between state actors andtraditional authorities in Krachi East, Ghana.

Abstract: This study examines the relations between state actors and traditional authorities in theimplementation of the LEAP cash programme in a decentralized space in Ghana. A key feature of theimplementation of the LEAP cash transfer programmes is the decentralization of governance and administration
to the subnational level, where state and non-state actors interact and influence the outcomes of the policy.
Empirically, this study examines the outcomes of the interactions between state bureaucrats and traditional
authorities in the implementation of the LEAP cash transfer programme, using the Krachi East Municipality as acase study. The main argument is that the exercise of vertical and horizontal power relations, through visible andhidden ways, impacts on the ability of individuals and households to participate and gain access to cash benefits.
Theoretically, the actor-oriented approach will be used to examine the collaborations, contestations, alliances andpower relations between these actors and the outcomes of their interactions on the implementation of cash transfer
programmes. Data will be collected using semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The data will beanalyzed using themes and content analysis.

Evolution of customary land tenure: Assessing the dynamics of land relations in the Northern Transitional Zone of
Ghana.

Customary land tenure in Africa has been touted as being dynamic, evolving, flexible and adaptive.
Population pressures, large-scale land investments, state drive for tree crop cultivation, new land policies and theadvent of new forms of farming methods are revolutionalising the traditional farming practices in the northerntransitional zone of Ghana. These changes in farming practices profoundly impact the aged-old land tenure systems
based on customary land tenure and communal landholding that thrived under shifting cultivation and land
fallowing. The new farming practices that promote continuous cultivation on a piece of land are ushering in newland relations that place the poor, women, youth and migrant farmers in a disadvantaged position. Situated within
the evolutionary theory of land rights, and adopting an empirical qualitative research approach, this paper examines
the dynamics of land relations occasioned by the agrarian change and how these dynamics impact the land rightsof the marginalised members of society. The paper argues that the idea of negotiability, flexibility, and dynamism
attributed to customary land tenure provides the arsenals for manipulation by the more powerful in society.

Land-use change and commodification of land in Dagban
This paper examines recent changes in land-use and commodification of communal lands in peri-urban
Tamale and its agrarian hinterlands. Considerable lands in Tamale and its agrarian hinterlands are witnessingchanges in their usage in recent times and this is reflecting in the expansion of residential settlements in per urban
areas and new cropping systems in both peri urban and the agrarian hinterlands. These changes are happening on
communal lands with multiple user rights under the custodianship of chiefs and family elders. I argue that thechanging use of communal lands in peri urban Tamale and its hinterlands is leading to the commodification ofcommunal lands and agriculture which tends to undermine the moral economy in both peri urban and communities
in the hinterlands.

Investiture of chiefs, a relic of colonialism? Reflections of an ignoramus on the installation of chiefs in the Upper
East Region of Ghana

Chieftaincy, in Ghana, is very resilient notwithstanding post-colonial efforts to obliterate it altogether or
downplay its significance. While the institution is dynamic and responsive to change, its selection
unrepresentativeness is questioned. Mamprugu, one of the oldest traditional states in northern Ghana, exercises‘heritage’ investiture rights over chiefs in the Upper East Region, an entirely different political administrative region.

The paper argues that these ‘heritage’ rights are transient based on mythic conquest and resurrects vestiges ofcolonialism in a democratic dispensation. Moreover, exercising them are a source of conflicts in some of the
traditional areas. The practice also mirrors the affected paramountcies as being subservient to Mamprugu which isinconsistent with current realities. The investiture rites, aimed at legitimatizing individuals’ ascension to traditional
political power, add little or nothing to the authority of the sovereign in the indigenous states concerned. The paper,using concept/theory of invention of tradition and primary data, concludes by advocating for an open participatory
investiture system of chiefs in the areas under domination

Implications of customary land conversions on the power of the institution of traditional leaders in Mungule
chiefdom of Chibombo District in Central Province of Zambia

The study examines the implications of customary land tenure conversions on the power of traditional
leaders, who have had the power to allocate land and upholding customary law among occupants of customary land.
The paper argues that conversion of customary land to leasehold tenure system negatively affects the power of
traditional leaders. Using the conceptual framework premised on the theory of power according to Gluckman, one
variable factor ‘size of land’ was used to formulate an interview guide. Therefore, in-depth interviews, with key
informants were conducted. For validity and reliability, various stakeholders with different specialisation over this
topic, were incoporated as a strategy to deepen /widen the scope of producing this knowledge. The study
established that, customary land that was being converted to leasehold tenure system was reducing the size of thecustomary land for the Chiefdom. Findings revealed that the change from customary land tenure system, denies
traditional leaders the rights to allocate land to local people, secondly it subjects local people to change theirlivelihood from agricultural based to informal jobs and finally, it stops local people from the culture of living in clans
for their unity and easy formulation of customary law in a collective voice

Transformation of healing and magic management through SNS: The case of Southern Benin
In Africa, smartphones and Social Network Services (SNS) have recently witnessed a rapid spread due tothe low cost of smartphones. Healing-related issues including mystical knowledge are one of the topics in SNS
groups, which appeal to the Beninese youth, and people create big or small SNS groups to exchange information
about healing on a daily basis. By relying on data collected through a combination of in-person and digital
ethnography, this paper focuses on the motivations, groups and user profiles, and communication styles in theseSNS, to determine how they changed the realm of magic and healing in Benin. I will argue that SNS particularlytransformed how magical knowledge is distributed, and that healing management and SNS have become sites where
the generation with smartphones can update their perceptions of illness and magic, while at the same time renewing
the nature of magic itself.

SIM card registration, citizenship and surveillance in Ghana
Recently in Ghana the state has embarked on a process of registration and certification of citizen
identification, based on the premise that digital technologies have the capacity to guarantee secure and equal
futures and to promote more inclusive development.

This supposed ""technology for development"" legitimises

the Ghanaian government's digital campaign against fraud and crime, with registration of mobile phones serving
as a key component of the campaign. While the majority of people in Ghana are in the informal sector, and lackformal identity papers, most people now use digital technologies including the mobile phone and mobile money.
By linking registration to the need to prevent criminality in these sectors and to monitor them, the government
forces people to register for citizen identity cards, to continue to use these technologies, although there is noevidence that most people were experiencing problems of fraud in using them.

This paper explores thesignificance of mobile phone SIM registration for citizens within the informal sector, and the extent to which thisreflects the rhetoric of enabling development or increasing, and the relationship between surveillance andmarginalisation.

Perception and management of diseases and therapeutic resources among Ewondo population (Central Region of
Cameroon): Case of malaria and spleen disease.

In Cameroon, malaria is a major public health problem despite the response mechanisms put in place.
According to Ewondo Population, there is an inter-influential relationship between this pathology and spleen
disease, a disease recognized as such only at the community level. Our main objective is to describe the perceptions
and the different cultural mechanisms of management of these two affections. To achieve this goal, 70 informants
were interviewed and several results were obtained. The populations through the names attributed to thesepathologies, namely ebem koé or snail spleen and tsit meki or blood disease, describe the characteristics andpotential sources of these pathologies. In the event of a malaria crisis, 37,1% of informants use their knowledge ofexisting therapeutic solutions, 28,6% passed throw clinicians advices and 34,3% recourse to traditional
pharmacopoeia. While for proven spleen disease cases, 77.1% of informants directly sought the services of
traditional doctors and 20.8% used their own know-how. Out of the 42 samples identified, 28 are used against
spleen disease and 14 against malaria, while 09 are used against both pathologies. This reflection is a contribution
to the enhancement of traditional pharmacopoeia through the enrichment of knowledge on the natural resources
used by Ewondo.

Anti-FGM national policy intervention-A non-legal approach proposal in Nothern Ghana"

FGM(female genital mutilation) has raised concern worldwide since the 1970s, under the influence offeminist movements. Much research has been done in various fields about FGM in multidimensional approaches.
Many focus on different counterparts involved in the effort to support the termination of FGM practice. However,there is little research to analyze or give a reflection on the effectiveness of the national anti-FGM legislation at the
local societal level, and how to reconcile the clash between law, culture and beliefs, which are critical for policymaking to eradicate FGM. Since FGM is practiced as the rite of passage for women under the cultural and social
context, the national legislation's impact on the local society's perception and public awareness alternation needs
to be addressed, as well as how the regional communities' initiatives and grass root level activities stimulate thenational policy decisions. Based on aforesaid factors, this presentation proposes Ghana as a case study to analyze
the prevailing regional FGM reality under criminalization in the national environment. The elucidation of the highprevalence rate in Northern Ghana potentially contributes to expanded context as a reference to regulatory national
legislation compliance and enhancement purposes for non-legal national policy-making to eliminate FGM practice.

Crisis）と呼ばれる英語圏の分離独立派とカメルーン政府の衝突が続いています。その歴史的要因は、第一次世界大戦後のフランスと英国による共同統治まで遡れます。ウスマヌ氏は、植民地時代と独立後の政策を比較しながら、英語
圏危機の政治的ダイナミクスを分析します。
