Amos Laar

With gratitude to God, I announce the peaceful passing of my beloved mother, Mad. Konduuk N. Laar (Afia Namun), aged 90, she lived a long and full life. A life of faith, humility & service. We are comforted by the promise of eternal rest.

🗣️ Dr. @alaar, @UnivofGh "We are shifting from individual responsibility to structural accountability in African food policy." 📌 A timely reminder that systems - not just choices - shape outcomes. #CCHeFS #FoodPolicy

How on earth does a bin end up placed upside down, while rubbish is carelessly heaped on top? How disrespectful can a man be to his space? And it´s at a hospital in - - - ? Why must we normalize such dysfunction? This gentleman in blue deserves an award for calling this out.

[2/2] As Africa battles double-burden of malnutrition, double-duty actions are needed. Effectively implemented, this mix of low-agency & high-agency policy interventions could be the game-changer...

@e_naban @JDMahama Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

@alaar @JDMahama Prof, the hard ball is "the employer can send you where your services are most needed", if you don't want, you can forgo the employment. I can give you a 2014 "staff rationalization" exercise i was part of in 1 district and what happens afterwards.

Teachers who agree to serve in a rural school will be paid 20% of their salary as an incentive.

@e_naban @JDMahama ..salary top up, i meant to type.

@e_naban @JDMahama Are there laws in Ghana to deal with such 'refusals'? If yes, enforcing those laws should be the primary intervention. The 20% salary top incentive would be secondary, although very much welcome.

Congrats to Dr Abigail Daku for leading this. Barriers to ensuring and sustaining street food safety in a developing economy: Heliyon cell.com/heliyon/fullte…
