“…Hence it is expected that the older a farmer, the less likely will he be willing to invest; hence his interest in financial issues will be less, and the inverse is true. This assertion has been affirmed in studies such as (Falola and Essien, 2013), Ellis (2016), Langyintuo and Mulugetta (2005).…”

The concept of infrastructure, education, availability, usage, affordability, inequality, and accessibility of funds remains useful in agricultural productivity. Nonetheless, the most instrumental challenge of rural farmers is the factors mentioned above, which hindered the growth of agricultural productivity over the years in Africa. As a result, this study examines the nexus between gender, financial inclusion, and Agriculture Productivity in Ghana. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design with secondary data sources from the Ghana Living Statistical Survey 7. Data were analyzed using STATA version 15. The objective of the study was analyzed using the ordinary least square method. The study revealed that financial inclusion has a significant positive relationship with agricultural productivity. Also, factors such as age, farm size, household size, ownership of land have a positive impact on agricultural productivity coupled with the low level of education. Results indicate that farm size, equipment ownership, expenditure on inputs, age, marital status, land ownership, household size, and education level are determinants of agricultural productivity. The paper revealed that male farmers are more financially inclusive than their female counterparts. As a result, the study concluded that there are strong links between gender, financial inclusion, and agricultural productivity. The government and other stakeholders in Ghana need legal and institutional transformations that will help meet the needs and constraints of females, especially in the rural communities, to broaden the scope of financial services hence making them financially inclusive.

“…Level of Education: education is a continues variable and expected to have a positive influence on a farmer who is highly educated since he will know about finance and will be able to acquire and understand the information presented on finance (Okoffo et al (2016), Falola and Essien (2013), Enete and Igbokwe (2009)).…”

“…The black intelligentsia challenged the West's propaganda that Africans had no history; and the deliberate denigration of the global African personality. In short like Fanon, Cabral, Chinweizu and other Africanist theorists, the early pan-Africanists recognised that the territorial parameters of African liberation must include the decolonisation of the African mind (Falola et al, 2015;Geiss, 1974;Chinweizu, 1987). Interestingly those activists responsible for popularising pan-Africanism hailed from the Caribbean (Clarke et al, 1974;Conyers et al, 2004;James, 2000).…”

The article demonstrates both conceptually and empirically that PanAnglosaxonist knowledge networks reconstructed and reimagined an apparently de-racialised, scientific, sober and liberal world order that outwardly abandoned but did not eradicate the twin phenomena of racism and imperialism. Rather the new liberal (imperial) internationalists, organised in newly-formed 'think tanks' such as Chatham House and the Council on Foreign Relations, and through their increasingly global elite networks, mounted a top-down battle for minds at home and in the wider world. Operating in stateprivate elite networks, they drove the movement to manage change and develop a new liberal world order particularly to contain panAfricanists who combatted the domination and exploitation of Africans worldwide. More broadly, we indicate that the pragmatic response to the extremes of Nazi ideology and a countering movement from the cadres of Asian, African and African-American intellectuals, anticolonial and anti-racist struggles within the national and global context, forced the Anglo-centric elites to promote change, albeit limited.

“…First is an assumption, by African states themselves, that they share a common history, destiny and cultural identity. This assumption underlies the principles of Pan Africanism and an African Renaissance and underpins the very function of the African Union itself (Falola and Essien, 2013;AU, 2015).…”

Toward a Fit-for-purpose Policy Architecture on Long-term Care in Sub-Saharan Africa: Impasse and a Research Agenda to Overcome it

IntroductionSub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has featured little in the global discourse on long-term care (LTC) policy thus far -a gap brought to the fore at the 5th International Conference on Evidence-based Policy in Long-term Care in Vienna. With few exceptions, the tremendous breadth and depth of scientific content centred exclusively on Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Only two contributions focused on SSA, including my own plenary address (Aboderin, 2018), upon which this commentary is based.Virtually all conference deliberations, moreover, concerned, in one form or another, the what, where and how of organized LTC provision: what LTC services are needed and appropriate where, how may they be forged or improved upon and, the crucial question, who is to bear their costs. More fundamental questions about the whywhy LTC services are required in the first place -appeared not to merit much discussion. A need for such services per se seemed broadly accepted in both OECD public and policy domains: it went without saying.These conference parameters crystallized what is, arguably, the major challenge facing LTC policy in sub-Saharan Africa: a virtual lack of robust debate and policy architectures on the what, where and how of organized LTC provision, because the why has not yet been resolved.My aim in this commentary is to reflect on this impasse and its key drivers and to propose a set of required research approaches to overcome it. In so doing, I attempt to construct an argument for SSA as a whole, albeit a cautious one, as it does not capture the immense diversity in economic, geographical and social contexts that exists among the region's 51 states. Nonetheless, I consider an SSA-wide assessment justified for two key reasons:
