It has become crucial to draw result implications for future energy sustainability by exploring all relevant issues, particularly in light of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) influence electricity demand. Using the West African region as the subject of analysis, this study provides insights into the implied connection, taking into account the region’s disparate cultural and linguistic patterns. The study is complemented by a result-based analysis of the socioeconomic and policy implications. The outcomes, derived from the application of a dynamic panel data model to a dataset spanning 1990-2021, show that ICT adoption has significant implications on electricity consumption, with notable positive impact observed in the long run. Interestingly, this effect is largely driven by French-speaking countries in the region. Beyond this statistical revelation, this study underscores the need for a balanced approach to address the ICT-electricity demand interplay. An important conclusion emerges: Embracing digitalization while ensuring energy security and sustainability can unlock economic growth, promote social inclusion, and foster a sustainable future for West Africa.

This study sought to integrate trust and the Technology Readiness Index to determine their respective influence on e-payment adoption. The finds sheds light into how potential factors influencing e-payment adoption and for that matter measures to overcome these challenges. The study indicates that high personal optimism about technology in general leads to high trust of an e-payment technology. Further, high personal innovativeness about technology in general leads to higher trust of an e-payment technology. The findings suggest that low personal discomfort about technology in general leads to lower trust of an e-payment technology. Finally, it is established that low personal insecurity about technology in general leads to lower trust of an e-payment technology.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of capital structure of listed oil marketing companies in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Doku, Elvis Adjei, Harrison Adjimah, John Akuma Description An account of the resource Capital structure decisions are the most crucial decisions taken by corporate organizations, as these decisions have massive impact on the overall cost of capital weighted average and the resultant profitability and market value of shares. Most of the researches conducted on capital structure concluded that there is an optimal capital structure that is affected by a variety of internal and external factors. These factors usually differ from country to country and industry to industry. This paper using a case study methodology, investigated the determinant of capital structure of oil companies in Ghana. The study examined how internal factors such as profitability, asset tangibility, growth, size and riskiness of a firm impacts on the capital structure of the two listed oil marketing companies in Ghana (GOIL and TOTAL) for the period between 2005 and 2014 using ordinary least square regression. The findings indicated that all the factors have significant impact on financial leverage.

Title A name given to the resource Journal of Chinese Economic and Foreign Trade Studies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Doku, John Akuma, John Owusu-Afriyie Description An account of the resource Purpose–This study aims to examine the quantitative effect and direction of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth in Africa using a sample of 20 African countries from 2003 to 2012 with data obtained from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the World Bank. Design/methodology/approach–The study used panel least squares regression, specifically fixed effect model to examine the quantitative effect of Chinese FDI on economic growth in Africa. The study also used Granger causality test to examine whether a causal relationship exists between economic growth and China’s FDI in Africa. Findings–The study finds that a 1 per cent increase in China’s FDI stock in Africa significantly increases Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth by 0.607 per cent, all things being equal. Furthermore, the study finds that a causal link exists between GDP growth in Africa and China’s FDI and the nature of causality is unidirectional. Practical implications–The study recommends that to stimulate Chinese FDI in Africa, free visas must be given to Chinese investors coming into the continent, low tariffs should be imposed on inputs and intermediate goods from China and grant of business operation permit to Chinese investors must be made less bureaucratic. Originality/value–This research has not been presented to any journal for publication and is originally written by the authors.

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of Strategies for Improving Occupational Safety Culture in Ghana Cocoa Board Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Kingsley Edzii Description An account of the resource Human related mischances in high hazard businesses like Quality Control Organization (QCC) Restricted add up to a noteworthy monetary danger and acquire huge harms, causing over the top operational expenses and death toll. For instance, QCC utilizes chemicals, for example, Detia gas for fumigation, pyrethrin for misting and part of these chemicals has genuine repercussions if appropriate security measures are not considered. As per (Anon, 2011), presentation of the skin to chemicals can bring about physical inconvenience and agony, loss of work time and salary, powerlessness to perform employment or loss of occupation, restorative costs, personal satisfaction issues and social debilitations. Again substance introduction to the skin can bring about either worldly harm to the skin or perpetual wellbeing harm to the skin. Some transitory harm incorporate dry, red, broke skin, from contact with water, cleansers, gas and certain kinds of solvents. The reason for this investigation is to survey the health and safety hones and to decide the systems for enhancing security culture in QCC and furthermore to decide the level of consistence of Wellbeing and Wellbeing guidelines in QCC, Ghana COCOBOB. Polls were readied and through the straightforward arbitrary testing strategy staff and administration were chosen. Their reactions were assembled and dissected deliberately utilizing Microsoft Exceed expectations to distinguish the potential techniques expected to enhance the word related health and safety of the staff of QCC. After cautious perception of the respondents' perspectives the examination turns out with the view that Ghana COCOBOD, Takoradi has a decent security culture. Be that as it may, their security culture can be enhanced if a specific office is put aside for entirely wellbeing issues. Once more, the greater part of their security hones are as per the practices stipulated in the Ghana Work Demonstration of 2003. Be that as it may, the dedication of administration in specific zones, for example, the arrangement of satisfactory assets is brief time and the administration ought to be concerned. Again from the examinations, the introduction on security alone isn't sufficient and more instruction ought to be done on wellbeing issues.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Quality Improvement on Healthcare Delivery in Ghana: A Case Study of National Catholic Health Service Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Rock Kumah Description An account of the resource Healthcare consumers are becoming more critical with the quality of healthcare they receive. As a result, there are increasing complaints about the poor quality of healthcare received in the public domain. Under-five mortality (U5M) is one of the key indicators in the determination of the quality of health of a nation. The Ministry of Health (MOH) and its agencies have over the years tried to reduce U5M to accelerate Ghana’s efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4 by 2015 but with little success. The National Catholic Health Service (NCHS) in collaboration with Institute for Health Improvement (IHI) piloted the model for improvement, a quality improvement (QI) programme in nine catholic hospitals to reduce U5M and infant mortality. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the QI programme implemented by the NCHS. A mixed method approach and a cross-sectional design were used. Secondary data on U5M were collected from 2007 and 2015 and analysed. A modified version of Shortell’s QI instrument was administered to a sample of 51 midwives and 48 paediatric nurses from three selected catholic hospitals, namely; Techiman Holy Family, St. Francis Xavier and Our Lady of Grace. Frequencies and cross tabulations were used in the data analysis and presentation of results. Seven core management members from the three selected hospitals and one management staff of the NCHS were interviewed and data analysed using thematic content analysis approach. The results show that, all the nine hospitals made great improvement in U5M when the implementation was at its peak. However, only three out of the nine hospitals were able to sustain the improvements made. Key factors that led to the inability of the hospitals to sustain improvements were identified and they include the organisational culture of the hospitals, management commitment and employee involvement. The findings provided an opportunity to develop a hybrid model which could be adopted by the MOH and its agencies to aid in the successful implementation of QI programmes in healthcare.
