Title A name given to the resource Changing the dynamics of human resources management in the public services of Ghana: an organizational learning perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Ohemeng, Emelia Amoako Asiedu Description An account of the resource The quality of human resources is critical to the development of any country. To enhance sustainable development and poverty reduction, governments need human capacities, especially in the public sector, to transform their commitments on these issues into results. In view of this, in 2015, the government of Ghana through the Public Services Commission developed a new human resources management policy for the public sector. The principal idea is that the new policy will lead to the transformation of the Public Service into an ethical, responsive, and citizen-oriented service that will provide, and continue to provide into the future high quality and timely services to Ghanaians. This paper examines the policy with the view of understanding whether it will transform a sector that has suffered considerable neglect since independence from the perspective of organisational learning. Will the new policy lead to fundamental shift in HRM in the public sector? Has it unearthed the fundamental issues underpinning the effective management of human resources in the sector? And has it proposed capable solutions to these issues?

Title A name given to the resource HIV/AIDS and Agriculture in Africa: The Woman's Role in Agricultural Policy Formulation and Implementation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is frequently perceived as an individual health problem or as an epidemic with effects on morbidity or mortality, health care and costs. From such a perspective, the" AIDS epidemic" emerges as a series of more or less clearly defined epidemics, each with characteristics of the subsystem in which it occurs and, together, forming a pandemic. HIV/AIDS is transmitted through heterosexual and homosexual intercourse, intravenous drug use (IDU), homosexual or based on blood transfusion. These aspects are very important, but they are not the only possible dimensions of the epidemic (Semba and Tang, 1999). Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for more than 70 per cent of all HIV/AIDS cases globally. It is the only region where women living with HIV/AIDS outnumber men. Nearly 25 million Africans are living with HIV/AIDS, the vast majority of them adults in the prime of their working and parenting lives. Some 15 million people in Africa have already died of AIDS, with devastating social and economic consequences (UNAIDS, 1999). In the 30 sub-Saharan African countries with the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence levels, the average life expectancy has already started to decline, standing at about 47 years, roughly seven years lower than it would have been in the absence of the pandemic. The lifetime risk of dying from AIDS has Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Women and Gender Studies Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2005 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;cstart=200&amp;pagesize=100&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:4fKUyHm3Qg0C Language A language of the resource English 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 The perception of employees on performance‐based budgeting reforms in developing countries: The perspective from Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kenneth Parku Frank Ohemeng,Emelia A. Asiedu,Theresa Obuobisa-Darko,Juliana A. Abane Description An account of the resource In the last few decades, the use of performance management to correct state finances has led to the (re)emergence of performance‐based budgeting (PBB), with the belief that it will reveal where scarce resources should be concentrated. The efficacy of PBB, however, continues to be debated. This paper attempts to contribute to the discussion, by examining the case of Ghana from the perspective of budget officers. How do budget officers perceive the PBB? It is argued that while PBB is professed as a useful budgetary mechanism, there are challenges that need to be addressed if it is to achieve its objectives.

Title A name given to the resource Enhancing the quality of school feeding programs in Ghana. Unpublished article. Legon: Department of Nutrition and Food Science. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource A nation's ability to harness its resources for development is partly based on the quality of human capital available. The cognitive and mental development of undernourished children is known to be deficient or delayed and can adversely affect school performance. If under-nutrition is present in educational institutions and is carried further in life (7-18 years age group) the health of the population is compromised. Proper nutrition is critical for optimal growth, development and the general well-being and academic performance of children. Access to good nutrition either at home or through the educational system can contribute to the elimination of malnutrition and all its associated health and developmental problems. In this regard, efforts to promote health should begin as early in life as possible and the educational institutional settings provide a good opportunity.

Title A name given to the resource Effect of Fermentation on the Chemical and Functional Properties of Nixtamalized Maize Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Philip Roger Aidoo Description An account of the resource Spontaneous lactic acid fermentation is an important process in cereal processing. It is applied to develop and enhance taste and flavour, modify texture and improve the microbial safety of foods. When applied with nixtamalization to maize, it is expected to further improve the functionality, improve nutritional quality and provide an alternative maize-based ingredient. This study was carried out to determine the extent to which fermentation could influence the physico-chemical, functional and textural properties of nixtamalized maize. A 2 x 3 x 3 factorial experimental design with fermentation medium (water, coconut water), fermentation time (0, 24, 48 hours) and blends composition (0:100, 50:50, 100:0 steeped:nixtamalized maize) was performed. The blends were fermented for the specific times and analysed for pH, titratable acidity, water absorption, colour and texture.

Title A name given to the resource Perception of performance management and rewards in selected public sector organisations in Ghana: a test of the systems theory Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu Description An account of the resource In the new public administration, performance management is expected to provide the necessary information that makes the behaviour of governments more results-oriented and responsive to conditions affecting governments goal attainment. Performance management focuses on achieving results which is expressed in useful products and services for customers inside and outside the organization. The purpose of the study was to investigate staff perception of the level of performance management effectiveness and also establish a relationship between staff perception of performance management and rewards in the public sector in the theoretical context of the systems. A total of 100 employees from the Ministries, Departments and Agencies in Ghana were selected using convenience sampling. The results showed that Quality, one of the performance indicators, was the only variable that was associated with rewards. The findings provide valuable insight into the key performance criterion and how it relates to rewards in the public sector of Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Optimization of the canning parameters of bambara groundnuts (Voandzei subterranea) using response surface methodology Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alan Bullock Merson Description An account of the resource Response surface methodology was used to study the optimal pre-processing conditions that would yield the best quality canned product from bambara groundnuts. Pre-canning parameters such as blanching time, soaking time and sodium hexametaphosphate [(NaPO3) 6] salt concentration were used as the independent variables for a Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for the canning of the bambara groundnuts and the quality characteristics (moisture content, drained weight, leached solids and seed hardness) of the canned products. Regression models were generated and their adequacy used to predict the optimum response values using blanching time of 2-12 min, soaking time 0-24 h and salt concentration [(NaPO3) 6] of 0-1%. The optimal conditions were determined using regression models. The results revealed that soaking time, blanching time and salt concentration all significantly (p< 0.05) influenced most of the quality indices of the canned products. Soaking and blanching caused significant reductions in the hardness of the seeds with consequential increases in the moisture content, drained weight and leached solids. The presence of the sodium salt influenced the hardness of the seeds. Increasing salt concentration increased the drained weight and seed hardness but decreased the splitting of the products. The optimal conditions required to achieve the optimum moisture content, pH level and other quality indices studied on the canned bambara groundnuts were blanching time of 5 mins, soaking time of 12 hours and [(NaPO3) 6] salt concentration of 0.5%.
