Notwithstanding, relationship between and magnitude COVID-19 in countries have not received research attention. In this study, we investigated pervasiveness pandemic across their Global Health Security Index (GHSI) scores. Materials methods study included 54 five regions viz Western (16); Eastern (18); Middle (8); Northern (7); Southern (5) Africa....
Livelihood resilience is one of the social-ecological concepts with importance for development, policy and research as crises from human-environment interactions are becoming intense widespread. Nevertheless, measuring livelihood a difficult task requiring handy practical methods, which missing in literature. This study proposed validated measure to three-dimensional framework buffer capacity, capacity self-organization learning context Ghana's declining small-scale fisheries. It measurement...

The concept of livelihood resilience provides a unique framework for understanding challenges in complex social–ecological systems (SESs) and fostering sustainability. Despite the crises many small-scale fisheries (SSFs) are facing, few studies have operationalized context declining SSFs developing countries. This study aims to assess artisanal fisherfolk livelihoods its predicting factors three fishing communities—Elmina, Jamestown, Axim—in Ghana. A total 1180 semi-structured interviews...
Localisation of vaccine production is essential worldwide, but it particularly crucial for Africa. This continent more vulnerable to disease burdens and also lags behind other continents regarding access vaccines. Moreover, many people in Africa have a long-standing apathy towards locally made products services. mindset raises the question whether Africans will support African-made vaccines what associated reasons are. Guided by theories nationalism import substitution industrialisation, we...
