Title A name given to the resource Africa’s Response to SDGs: Barriers and Challenges Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Antoinette Yaa Benewaa Gabrah, George Kofi Amoako, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource Increased attention has been given to sustainable development issues globally. Similarly, African nations are increasing their effort to achieve the set goals for sustainable development. This is to aid them to improve the standards of living of its citizens. However, in their attempt to implement these goals, several challenges have been encountered as a result of their dependency on foreign aid and grants, among other external forms of financing. This research, therefore, explores the key barriers facing the implementation of SDGs in Africa. This objective is achieved via a review of the literature using dependence theory to unpin the study. The findings suggest that limited control of resources, over-dependence on foreign aid, poverty heightened by income inequality, demographic pressures, poor governance and corruption, environmental degradation, and lack of data and information are key barriers affecting SDGs … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer International Publishing Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=NogL9W0AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=NogL9W0AAAAJ:L8Ckcad2t8MC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/7cd8816e7c617bca21f496e909857d1f.pdf 56b983d22382e16083a5c441dd8989fa Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Does industrialization promote the emission mitigation agenda of East Africa? a pathway toward environmental sustainability Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yan Yu, Jingyi Zhao, Mohammed Musah, Michael Owusu-Akomeah, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, Jing Li, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Emmanuel Attah Kumah, Siqi Cao, Yuxiang Xu, Yingfang Shi, Liqi Wang, Can Hui, Kaodui Li Description An account of the resource Africa’s economy continues to be characterized by increasing environmental pollution caused by anthropogenic activities. Despite the implications of environmental pollution in the continent, little attention has been paid to it, although almost all its countries are signatories to the Paris Agreement. One macroeconomic variable that has proven to be a major driver of environmental pollution in the region is industrialization. However, despite the numerous explorations on the connection between industrialization and environmental degradation, limited studies have examined the linkage amidst the series in East Africa. This study was, therefore, conducted to help fill that gap. In accomplishing this goal, econometric techniques that control cross-sectional correlations, heterogeneity, and endogeneity, among others, were employed for the analysis. From the results, the panel under consideration was heterogeneous and cross sectionally correlated. In addition, the studied series were first differenced stationary and co-integrated in the long run. The elasticities of the regressors were explored via the cross sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) estimator, the cross sectionally augmented distributed lag (CS-DL) estimator, and the augmented mean group (AMG) estimator. According to the results, industrialization led to a reduction in the environmental quality in the region through high CO2 emissions. In addition, financial development, foreign direct investments, urbanization, and energy consumption were not environmentally friendly in the bloc.

Title A name given to the resource Unlocking the COP28 climate agenda in G10 economies: Do environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies matter in the natural resource-load capacity factor connection? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Isaac Ahakwa, Simplice A Asongu, Michael Owusu-Akomeah, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource This study examines the role of environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies in the link between natural resources and load capacity factor in G10 nations over the period 1994 to 2019. Using robust econometric techniques, the study reveals that natural resources damage environmental quality by mitigating the nations’ load capacity factor while environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies promote sustainable environment by increasing load capacity factor. The relevance of environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies in moderating the effect of natural resources on environmental quality is dampened by extant average levels of natural resources rents which are negative. Policy implications are discussed.

However, the place of SNSs as a source of entertainment and enjoyment is also well-documented. The purpose of the paper is to identify the factors that predict continuance use of social networking sites from the perspective of mobile value. Data was collected from 452 students in three leading universities in Ghana and analyzed with Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling. Results from the study revealed that both hedonic value and utilitarian value were significant predictors of continuance intention. Satisfaction was also found to be a significant predictor of continuance intention. In all, the model accounted for 55.6% of the variance in continuance intention.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring mobile social networking sites continuance intention from the perspective of network externalities and mobile value Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Aseda Mensah, Kwabena G Boakye, Grace Simpson, Kwame Simpe Ofori, John Agyekum Addae Description An account of the resource Key shifts in the nature and characteristics of technology have led to evolutions in social media usage. For the first time in history, the internet is being accessed from more mobile devices than desktop computers. This revolution is especially felt among social networking sites, many of whom have presciently developed and released mobile applications of their platforms. Drawing from the Perceived Value Theory, Network Externalities and the Expectation Confirmation Theory of IS Continuance, we tested a model that sought to explain the effect of Network Externalities on Perceived Value and in turn Continuance Intention. Data was collected from 452 students from a university in Ghana and analyzed using the Partial Least Square approach to Structural Equation Modeling. Results from the current study showed that Referent Network Size and Perceived Complementarity had significant effects on both Utilitarian and Hedonic Value as well as Satisfaction. Hedonic Value, Utilitarian Value and Satisfaction in turn were found to be significant predictors of Continuance Intention. In all, the model accounted for 58.0% of the variance in continuance intention. The implications and limitations of the current study are discussed, and directions for future research proposed.
