Title A name given to the resource The impact of occupational health and safety and Challenges in Ghana’s oil and gas industry. A case of Ghana Oil Company limited. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Amui Denis Nii-Komiete Description An account of the resource Occupational Health and Safety is concerned with health, safety and welfare of people at the work place. The objective of all occupational health and safety programmes is to promote a safe work environment. The oil and gas industry is one of the riskiest industries when it comes to health and safety of employees. It is in the light of this that this study takes a look at the impact and challenges of occupational health and safety in the oil industry taking Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL) as a case study. The study seeks to identify factors that cause accidents in the oil and gas industry, assess the impact and challenges of occupational health and safety in the industry, identify effectiveness of workers compensation on health and safety matters and measures required to minimize the risk of exposure to occupational health and safety hazards. Questionnaire were designed on these objectives and distributed to a sample size of GOIL staff from various departments with different backgrounds and experiences. Responses from respondents were coded and analyzed using statistical tools to arrive at various findings. The study indicated that the major causes of accident in the oil and gas industry include the non-use of protective clothing and equipment, inadequate health and safety training and education, and no refusal of employees to execute unsafe work. Challenges of occupation health and safety outlined by the study include poor recordings and reporting of accidents and occupational diseases, lack of funds and health and safety expertise and lack of support medical care and counseling. The study also showed that the main workers compensation on health and safety matters includes medical care, disability income and rehabilitative services and death benefits. Effective training on the use of equipment, health and safety education and training and dissemination of health and safety information are the main strategy identified by the study as measures to reduce risk of exposure to occupational health and safety hazards in the oil and gas industry.

Title A name given to the resource Market Potential Analysis of Renewable Energy Technology for Household Application in Ghana (A Case Study of Solar in Accra). Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cephas Raphael Kwakye Konadu Description An account of the resource This study analyses the market potential of renewable energy technology for household use in Ghana. The research used solar technology in the Greater Accra Region as a case study. With the research on the resource and techno-economic potential of solar already done, the next step was to analyse the market potential to ascertain the existence of the demand for the technology. The study accessed the awareness and potential adoption of the renewable energy. It also evaluated the barriers preventing the mass adoption and diffusion of the solar technology. The research also looked at how policy initiatives of the regulatory body for the renewable energy sub sector is affecting the acceptance and popularity of the technology. A research design for descriptive survey was used for the study with data collection done using online questionnaire and interview. A total of 376 people from the general public were sent questionnaires via an online tool called Google Forms for the acquisition of data for quantitative analysis. Personnel of the Energy Commission and key industry players were interviewed using pre-structured questions. The results from the study show that households in Ghana are aware of renewable energy and very interested in the adoption of the technology. Over 99% of the respondents knew about solar though other renewable sources like geothermal and tidal were not that popular. However, barriers like high initial installation cost, access to funds and inadequate availability of technical experts hinder the adoption of the technology. The study revealed that over 80% of the respondent has concerns with respect to the high initial cost of the installation of solar. Based on these challenges, the government is being urged by stakeholders to make policies or revise existing ones to reduce the cost burden on the consumers to facilitate adoption and mass diffusion of the technology. Some recommendations which were proposed included an improvement of the net metering system and tax cuts or free duty for the importation of renewable energy equipment into the country. It was also recommended that renewable energy companies should seek a market model like partnering with the banks to make affordable payment plans available for prospective customers.

Title A name given to the resource Examining the Management of Risk Issues in Procurement; A Case Study of Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cornelius Kwarkoh Amoah Description An account of the resource The purpose of the study is to examine the “Management of risk issues in procurement: a case study of Ghana Technology University College.” Objectives that steered this research were (a) to determine the relationship between procurement risks/challenges, organizational performance and the need for management of procurement risks; (b) to find the specific procurement risks in GTUC and how they affect organizational performance; and (c) to find specific procurement related risks that need particular attention for management and how these risks could be managed. By means of an exploratory cross-sectional research design 30 staff of the GTUC including 4 procurement officials was selected for the study. The sample size forms more than 50% of the population of staff in the GTUC who deal directly with the procurement unit. Staff of the GTUC quantitatively filled the Procurement risk questionnaire, organizational performance questionnaire and the management of procurement risk questionnaire. Procurement officials were interviewed based on the objectives of the study. Findings revealed that, procurement risks/challenges do not significantly affect the organizational performance of the University; however, qualitative probe reveals that, the procurement risks/challenges translate into poor service quality in the GTUC including slow work activities and ineffective teaching and learning. Moreover, interferences/disruptions and resources challenges are the greatest of risk issues in procurement and would reduce the procurement risks in the GTUC by 39% if managed. It was also found that, risk issues in procurement in the GTU is high and requires a relatively higher management approaches to mitigate it such as elimination or simplification of some bureaucratic procedures as well as proactive work dynamics such as early submission of proposals and budgets. Furthermore, more would have to be done to enhance the capabilities of staff through the selection of qualified personnel and staff development through training programmes and self- development. The finding was explained in relation to the rational choice theory and supports a number of studies reviewed. It also highlights a number of discoveries into procurement risks that have not been reported by previous studies. It is recommended therefore that the procurement processes in the GTUC be reviewed periodically so that bureaucratic processes that impede successful outcomes are either eliminated or simplified.

Title A name given to the resource Investigating Causes of Delay & Cost Escalation in Strategic Project Execution: Case Study of Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dzigborfa Kwasi Edem Description An account of the resource The purpose of this study was to investigate causes of delay and cost escalation in strategic project delivery. The energy sectors most specifically the Power Industry remain the backbone of all economies. These accounts for significant injection of capital in building the infrastructure that can help the sector live up to its established function. Executions of these infrastructures are done through strategic projects that continue to experience delays and cost overruns. Delivery of Power Transmission projects in Ghana are also not left without delays and cost escalations leading to many perceived effects on operations of the only power transmission company. What therefore was lacking is the availability of empirical studies to try and document the success or otherwise of public power projects specifically within the transmission phase of the power sector to meet project execution time and cost context. The study aimed at rectifying this gap. A case study design on Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) investigated and identified 14 cause factors of project delay and cost overrun, verified effect of cause factors on operations of the organization and developed a cause effect mitigation model all through the use of a mixed method approach involving 40 participants of the organization who responded to both a close-ended and open-ended questionnaire. Hence the study believed that: capabilities of project managers and supervisors when enhanced and periodic assessment of project risk during project execution coupled with the use of modern computerized systems could help minimize or avoid project overruns.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Role of Financial Inclusion on Poverty Reduction in Ghana; Empirical Evidence from Ahafo Ano North District. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Edward Adofo-Bosompem Description An account of the resource Universal access to financial services is a critical component which drives development since it includes the vulnerable such as low-income household in the society to participate in the governance of the country (Iqbal and Sami, 2017). When people get access to financial services, it transforms their production through investment which eliminates them from poverty. Studies have propounded that the basic activity of the financial service sector is to make credit available to its customers. In this way, customers can increase their economic activities (Iqbal and Sami, 2017). Other evidence has confirmed that there is no country which has succeeded in reducing poverty without the expansion of financial accessibility to its rural populace (Rewilak, 2017). When the rural poor have access to finance, they achieve a large increase in production of various primary activities such as agriculture and this enables them to produce surpluses in food, labour and even financial resources which are the basic necessity of a country’s industrialisation and urbanisation (Villarreal, 2017). However, within the short and medium terms, making finance available has its own adverse impact on the rural populace hence it is important that various measures are put in place to overcome these barriers so that the long-term convergence of productivity among the different sectors of the economy could be realised (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, 2015). When this is done, the expectation is a broad spectrum of opportunities which might arise from this progressive change and a renewed mindset of the people to take up challenges.

Title A name given to the resource Factors Impeding the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery: A Case Study of the Ministry of Education. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Kofi Aidoo Description An account of the resource Over the years, strict adherence to public procurement processes has become a major challenge in public institutions rendering them ineffective and inefficient. The aim of this study is to assess the factors impeding the effectiveness and efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. From literature reviewed, a conceptual framework was constructed to serve as a robust model using dependent variables for Effectiveness and Efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. A mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative) was adopted for this research. The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS version 20 for the quantitative section and the qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews was analyzed using content analysis. The study documented that the correlation between independent variables comprising Political interference had a negative influence or outcome on all three (3) dependent variables (Fairness, Transparency & Value for Money). Social factors on the other hand had a weak influence or outcome on the Fairness and Transparency variables but had a negative influence on the Value for Money variables. However, the other independent variables comprising Economic, Environmental factors & Policy had positive influences and outcomes on the dependent variables in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency. The study therefore recommended that, this model be applied due to its capacity to measure and test the strengths of the objectives in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Interest Rate Risk on the Profitability of Banks in Ghana Case Study of CAL Bank Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Abdoulaye Diallo Description An account of the resource This study aimed to examine the impact of interest rate risk on the profitability of Banks in Ghana. The specific objectives of this were to assess the interest rate risk management practices of CAL Bank, to examine the relationship between the interest rate and the profitability and to examine the factors that influence the interest rate of CAL Bank. This study used the quantitative method and forty-eight (48) responses out of fifty-five (55) were collected from the primary data which was the questionnaire and another data were collected from the secondary data which was the annual report of CAL Bank from 2013-2017. Microsoft Excel 2016 and Statistical Practice for Social and Science (SPSS) V.23 were used to analyse the findings. The results revealed that CAL Bank had an interest rate risk management system which was set by the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) and used by the Risk Manager to monitor and controls the risk related to their interest rate in their day-to-day operations. Moreover, there was a positive relationship between the interest rate and the profitability and finally, the results concluded that the interest rate of other banks was the key factor that influenced CAL Bank’s interest rate. The study recommended that the (ALCO) and the Risk Managers should meet monthly instead of annually, since the interest rate risk management system is monitored and controlled by the risk manager in their day-to day operations and the profit made by the bank was related to its interest rate. Finally, the study outlined a topic for further researches which was based on “the examination of the credit risk management on the profitability of CAL Bank” in order to make more profit by minimizing the risk involved and to reduce the non-performing loans.
