Texto completoO seu nome é Alepo. Um território manchado pelo conflito, onde os escombros são o contorno de um quadro de devastação, insalubridade e decadência. Num cenário Pós-Guerra, urge a necessidade de repensar a cidade e reabilitar a sociedade, iniciando-se a reflexão sobre o seu processo de reconstrução física e social. Assim, este é um trabalho que se remete para uma realidade complexa, contínua e interminável, e que se liga a variadas áreas de intervenção, necessárias ao desenvolvimento de uma proposta que restabeleça um quotidiano contextualizado com a sociedade que o pratica. Em pormenor, é selecionada a área da educação e proposto o desenvolvimento de um Equipamento de Ensino Básico, setorizado no público feminino. Conceptualmente, a escolha do desenvolvimento de um equipamento deste cariz (Escola Básica Feminina) marca, para além de um contributo arquitetónico na reconstrução física do território, uma intervenção social dotada de alguma ousadia e inovação, dado o facto de corresponder a uma rutura social e implementação de novos valores. Tal é justificado pela premissa de que até então as mulheres estão proibidas de exercer qualquer tipo de atividade intelectual e, portanto, estudar. Pretende-se assim clarificar, o ‘Papel Social’ que a arquitetura detém no seu exercício e na responsabilidade acrescida de contribuição com duplo sentido: formação de uma nova imagem da cidade e melhoramento do contexto social que nela habita. Contextualizada com a realidade local, surge o segundo conceito estudado, ‘Arquitetura de Emergência’, que se traduz na resposta rápida, não necessariamente imediata, à necessidade de abrigo ou habitação de caracter provisório, alvo para populações vítimas de catástrofes (naturais ou não), como é exemplo este conflito político-social. Compreende ainda, a utilização de materiais locais, de baixo custo e tecnologia, preferencialmente reutilizados. Forma-se assim, a primeira diretriz técnica na estratégia adotada para o delineamento da proposta. Por fim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivos a reflexão da vertente Social do exercício arquitetónico no melhoramento das dinâmicas humanas, e a aplicação de um conceito direcionado para a reutilização e procura de opções exequíveis num cenário resiliente, mas com baixas capacidades de reação à extrema necessidade de reconstrução, a "Arquitetura de Emergência".
ABSTRACT: In a city destroyed by war, where the debris shape a scene of devastation, insalubrity and decay, arises the need to rethink the city, considering a post-war situation, and to begin the reconstruction process. This is a project that covers a complex, continuous and endless reality that connects with several intervention areas, which must be under the context of this society daily life. It is based in the education theme, targeting in a more specific level the female students. In a conceptual level an infrastructure of this nature (Female Primary School), gives not only an architectural contribution to the physical reconstruction of the territory, but also imprints a bold an innovative social intervention, disrupting the social rules with new values in a society where, until now, women were not allowed to exercise any intellectual activity, in this case studying. It is intended to clarify that architecture can have a social role and can contribute to the creation of a new image for a city and its social context. Under the actual situation of the city, a second concept must be studied, “Emergency Architecture”, which can be translated as the fast reply (but not immediate), to the need of shelter or temporary housing in case of a catastrophe, like a political/social conflict. It includes the use of local materials that can be low cost and low technology and preferably reusable. This is how the strategical line of thought of this project was created. Resuming, the project idea is to consider the importance of architecture in the improvement of human dynamics, using local means and options that work in a resilient scenario, while applying the concept of “Emergency Architecture”.

Texto completoThe thesis is an assessment of Ghana's structural adjustment policies since 1983. It intends to understand how it is possible for "the good pupil of the IFIs" to encounter such disappointing results. The first part describes in the detail the reforms that were undertaken and shows that their degree of implementation has been great. The second part evaluates the policies according to their own objectives, to some social development indicators, to the other African countries and to the main findings of the academic research on adjustment. It shows that Ghana's results have ranged from meagre success to total failure. The third part looks into the causes of such a failure and stresses three points : the diagnosis that preceded the launching of the program was partial, the strategy proved itself inconsistent and unrealistic, the gap between historical stakes and adjustment policy's objectives has resulted in a dispossession

Texto completoGhana has experienced solid economic and social development during the years before the finding of oil. Now that oil has been found, one should not forget that there are many countries in Africa which are rather cursed than blessed with natural resources. This phenomenon is known as the resource curse or more specifically the oil curse. This paper attempts to uncover the most challenging areas for Ghana, when its government wants to lift the resource curse. It further shows that Ghana is well prepared to tackle the negative effects of being oil abundant, by using the well-established models and concepts, which build on empirical analysis. Literature provides a lot to describe the oil curse, including the so called Dutch disease as well as conflicts, corruption, violence and bad governance, to mention a few. This paper will - in a case study approach- apply the concepts on Ghana and -with a qualitative comparative research design- expose the best practices from which Ghana can learn most. It will also show that Ghana's relatively good institutions will be able to implement most of the suggested policies which oppose the resource curse.
The outcome will be that Ghana's political environment, although far from perfect, is well prepared to deal with windfall oil revenues. Furthermore Ghana due its good structure of institutions and its stabilizing macroeconomic policies in the last decades, Ghana will be able to engage in best practice policies.

Texto completoExtensive review of the pertinent literature on sexual harassment was undertaken to support a critical analysis of the expressed perceptions and experiences of these students. Methods such as focus group discussions were employed with semi-structured interviews (open-ended questions) and memory writing as qualitative data gathering techniques to conduct group interviews and individual sessions with a random sample of 40 participants from two teacher training institutions of the country, the University College of Education in Winneba and Bagabaga Training College in Tamale. Female participants were engaged individually in memory writing using procedural guidelines.
The study found out that the main factors predisposing trainee teachers to sexual harassment in Ghanaian Teacher Training Institutions are Institutional practices by both teachers and students and the Institutional environment created from inadequate or complete absence of physical structures aimed at preventing sexual harassment and assaults. The lack of explicit policies to check sexual abuse, including sexual harassment, work in concert with the aforementioned institutional characteristics to create conditions that facilitate sexual harassment of female trainee teachers in the Ghanaian context. All these accumulate into an apparent institutional framework of sexual harassment that supports a regime of blatant disregard of the safety concerns of female trainee teachers.
Based on the testimonies of the students, it would appear that the problem of sexual harassment perpetrated by people in positions of authority is widespread in Ghana. Female student teachers are regularly exposed to a range of sexually motivated abuses within the learning environment, and these abuses are often carried out by tutors, professors, administrative staff and senior students. These three categories of agents of sexual harassment take advantage of available or perceived institutional power to abuse vulnerable female students. Also, perpetrators of sexual harassment against female students are not held accountable for their acts, thus perpetuating these abuses. By their very nature, the institutions of learning in Ghana are very hierarchically structured, such that power, might and right are often easily accorded to tutors over students, administrative staff over students and senior students over their junior counterparts. Most often they abuse the power and influence of their positions with threats of reprisals when the females refuse to consent to their sexual demands. The victimized females suffer untold consequences, which are minimized at every step in this structured power system.

Texto completoThe research focuses on urbanising communities in the peri-urban areas of the Tamale Metropolitan Area (TAMA) of Ghana and the inability of the urban authorities to provide adequate basic infrastructure services. Using a mix of qualitative and quantitative research approaches, the author observed that the development planning paradigms practiced over the years placed urban planning and service delivery in a centralised paradigm which cannot respond adequately to the increasing pressures of urbanisation, nor offer opportunities for the involvement of communities due to this top-down planning approache. The research in fact identified that the communities, through their own initiatives have planned and executed service projects to improve their lives in some respects where the TAMA has failed. The communities have achieved this due to their spirit of social solidarity, self-help and communalism built around their traditional chiefs, which incorporates some of the principles of Local Agenda 21. The TAMA sees this development as an opportunity to henceforth forge collaboration and partnerships with the traditional authorities for improved service delivery in the urbanising communities. This represents innovative urban planning and management approaches, which in the context of low-income urban communities, includes participatory planning and service delivery. These innovative approaches have been initiated in the Habitat Agenda emanating from the UN Conference on Human Settlements in 1996. The study advocates the concept of sustainable development and Agenda 21, as a working model which presents a participatory and integrative process for local authorities and communities to work towards urban improvements. The Local Agenda 21 planning approach, it is argued, will integrate and strengthen the already existing local community initiatives and provide a basis for partnerships and improved service delivery. The case - studies examined are the Tamale Metropolitan Area and the peri-urban settlements Jusonayili and Gumah.

Texto completoKakaobönderna tillhör några av de fattigaste människorna i världen. En grupp bönder i Ghana insåg att deras förutsättningar skulle förbättras om de samarbetade. Kuapa Kokoo är resultatet, ett kakaokooperativ som grundades när en grupp odlare beslöt sig för att gå samman för att bättre kunna ta del av vad marknaden har att erbjuda. Rättvisemärkt certifierade Kuapa Kokoo, vilket innebar att kakaobönderna nu var delaktiga i Rättvisemärkts mål om att förbättra deras arbets- och levnadsvillkor.
Jag valde att titta närmare på Rättvisemärkt då organisationens verksamhet ofta framställs som något positivt av media. Intervjuer med kakaobönderna tyder på att deras levnadsstandard har förbättrats genom Kuapa Kokoo. Rättvisemärkts arbete har, enligt bönderna, medfört att de nu får en skälig lön, som betalas ut i tid, för sitt arbete; de har pengar till mat; de har råd att skicka sina barn till skolan; råd att betala för sjukvård, och har numera brunnar med rent vatten.
Den här socialantropologiska studien behandlar även kritikernas argument mot Rättvisemärkt. Till skillnad från medias positiva bild av Rättvisemärkt har jag i olika sammanhang även kommit i kontakt med kritiskt inställda människor. Det gjorde mig nyfiken på att se vilka argument kritikerna lägger fram, och om de kan utgöra en skälig grund till att ifrågasätta Rättvisemärkts arbete. Deras slutsats är att konsumenten hjälper utvecklingsländernas befolkning mer genom att inte köpa rättvisemärkta varor.

Texto completoIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 97-99).
The siphon filter is a household water filter developed by the Basic Water Needs Foundation based on the design of ceramic candle filters. The siphon filter is marketed under brand names CrystalPur and Tulip and is sold for roughly US$10. An independent Dutch laboratory found log reductions of 4.4-5.5 for the filter, and the filter features flow rates of roughly 3-5 liters per hour. This thesis evaluates the viability of the siphon filter for households in Northern Ghana, where water- borne diseases are a serious issue. With the help of Pure Home Water, a social enterprise that sells household water treatment and safe storage technologies in Northern Ghana, a field study was conducted in twenty-four (24) households in this region. The study consisted of household visits, water quality analysis and an Effective Use survey, which determined how properly the technology was used. Households drinking low and high turbidity source waters were studied, from a mix of middle and lower class households. A preparatory study was conducted at a MIT laboratory prior to the Ghana field study in order to be most effective during the field study. Initially, the field study was designed to avoid recontamination of siphon filtered water samples by taking filtered water samples directly from filter taps rather than sampling lower (post-filtration) container water. However, six (6) of forty-eight (48) filtered water samples showed higher levels of contamination than household stored water samples, indicating that recontamination occurred despite sampling directly from taps.
(cont.) Two possible causes of recontamination included bacterial regrowth within the filter, and filter taps resting in dirty lower water containers or touched by dirty hands. Recontamination is believed to have been due to the latter cause, but further research is needed to confirm this conclusion. The average percent removal of total coliform was 90.7%, and the average positive percent removal for E. coli of 94.1% (these values do not include the five and three samples respectively showing negative percent removals for total coliform and E. coli). However, these values may have been affected by recontamination and true filter performance may have been more effective. A post-filtration safe storage container design is recommended for the siphon filter to maintain the microbial quality of filtered water, and additional testing of the siphon filter with a safe storage container is advised. The distinction between middle and lower class households was not found to influence how effectively the filter was operated. Use of high turbidity water was found to affect filter performance in households: the filter clogged frequently with high turbidity water, partially because study participants did not consistently maintain the filter. Filter maintenance is less crucial for households drinking low turbidity water, and the filter clogged infrequently for these households, even with little maintenance. Alternative household water treatment technologies are compared to the siphon filter for use in households drinking low and high turbidity source waters in Northern Ghana. These technologies include chlorine, alum (coagulation), and the Kosim ceramic pot filter.
(cont.) If the siphon filter recontamination issue were resolved, the siphon filter would be recommended for households drinking low turbidity water in Northern Ghana over the other treatment options considered. The siphon filter is recommended over chlorine for low turbidity water because chlorine is consumable and requires a substantial wait for treated water, while the siphon filter is more permanent and requires little wait for treated water. Alum plus chlorine treatment is recommended for most households drinking turbid water, with the siphon filter as an alternative treatment method for households desiring a more permanent treatment technology, again if the siphon filter recontamination issue were resolved. The siphon filter is preferred over the Kosim filter because while the Kosim filter can only be cleaned by scrubbing and features a slow flow rate, the siphon filter can be kept clean by other methods (e.g. backwashing) before scrubbing is needed, and has a considerably faster flow rate. Keywords siphon filter, household water treatment and safe storage, safe drinking water, water quality.

Providing sanitation to rural areas in Ghana remains a huge challenge. Government funding is scarce while many international donor projects are ineffective. This thesis explores the difficulties with rural sanitation projects through the implementation of two pilot projects based on a co-evolutionary design and planning process. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative information provided by an NGO partner field surveys in the Northern Region, Ghana, as well as relevant literature are presented and analyzed. Two pilot Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan) latrine designs were tested on the ground by MIT researchers during January 2011. The pilot EcoSan latrines are cheaper than single-pit Ventilated- Improved-Pit (VIP) latrines built in Northern Region, Ghana. The Bin-Bin design and the Pure Home Water design have a construction cost of GHS 537 (USD $384) and GHS 943 (USD $674) respectively. However, social acceptability of EcoSan technology remains uncertain. In an assessment matrix, which includes five different latrine designs, the Bin-Bin and Sanergy latrine designs receive the highest scores (19 out of 27) for a given set of design and evaluation criteria. Potential areas for cost reductions and design improvements are identified. The following is recommended for organizations working in sanitation in rural Ghana: e Shift away from heavily subsidized, top-down sanitation projects: Investigate the local demand and willingness to pay for latrines and experiment with for-profit models such as the Sanergy/Easy Latrine models. * Investigate low-cost building materials and supply chains that can reduce latrine costs: Pilot and test rammed-earth blocks, mud-bricks and any other suitable, locally-available building materials. Investigate centralized latrine manufacturing processes. * Explore innovative design options: Move away from single-pit VIP latrine designs; Pilot and scale-up other designs, including the Bin-Bin, Sanergy and Easy latrines, in order to assess their social acceptability and costs. e Consolidate the work of organizations involved with sanitation: Create an easily accessible online database that summarizes various sanitation projects conducted by different organizations in Ghana to allow for effective collaboration and idea-sharing.

Texto completoEducation is a tool that can be used to fight poverty, inequality, and social exclusion in every given society. Thus, for a sustainable and holistic national development, there is the need for an equitable distribution of educational resources among the people. This is however hardly achievable, especially in Africa where colonialism has partly brought about unequal development among the people in many countries. Soon after the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast (now Ghana) was incorporated under colonial rule, the educational policy of the colonialists did not favour the northern part of the country. Even though, there have been some studies on the colonialism of Africa in general, little has been done regarding the role it played in (re)producing unequal development of education in Africa. Likewise, the impact of an affirmative action instituted to bridge the gap between the north-south divide in Ghana has not been evaluated. The main questions this study thus seek to answer are: What were the colonial encounters with the north that brought about the underdevelopment of education in the area? How is the affirmative action bridging the gap between the north and the south? To answer the research questions, the study used a mixed-methods approach where in-depth interviews, Q methods, document analysis and observation were adapted as data collection methods. It was revealed that the colonialists adopted a deliberate strategy of making the north an unskilled labour reserve, thus accounting for why they did not build many schools there in the beginning. The findings of the study also show that the effect of the affirmative action has not been able to appreciably contribute to closing the north-south gap as expected. It is concluded that exploitation largely accounted for the underdevelopment of education in northern Ghana.
