Microfinance Conference Opens at UCC

09 Feb, 2017 By louis Mensah

The 9th Microfinance Conference organized under the auspices of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the College of Humanities and Legal Studies has opened at the University of Cape Coast (UCC). The two-day conference under the theme "The Future of Microfinance: Sustainability of Microfinance Institutions and Financial Inclusion" is being attended by players in the industry across the country". There will be presentation by various speakers from both industry and academia on various topics on Microfinance. In a speech delivered on his behalf by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof. George K.T. Oduro, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ghartey Ampiah, said the emergence of microfinance was basically to provide easy access to finance for the financially excluded poor and also to be conduit of poverty reduction. However, he noted, with time a number of issues regarding the sustainability of microfinance had emerged. “Recent happenings on the microfinance landscape in Ghana have engendered multiple concerns that need critical appraisal and effecting addressing", he said. Prof. Ghartey Ampiah indicated that the theme for the conference was most appropriate especially in the light of the collapse of some microfinance institutions in the country such as DKM which led to the loss of substantial sums of money by clients. According to Prof. Ampiah, global attention to issues of microfinance and financial inclusion had been heightened in recent times and had become priorities for some countries in the developing world. “It is imperative for economic growth to enhance greater and easier access to finance by the poor and financially excluded and microfinance is to bridge this gap”. The Vice-Chancellor said there had been a remarkable increase in the number of microfinance institutions in Ghana in the last couple of years. He, however, said recent evidence suggest that, the impact of these institutions had been mixed coupled with critical operational challenges leading to adverse outcomes such as collapse of some of them as well as some clients committing suicide. That, the Vice-Chancellor, said had brought to the fore the urgent need to revisit the microfinance paradigm. The Provost of College of Humanities and Legal Studies, Prof. Dora Edu-Buandoh, said recent happenings in the sector make it important for academia to engage industry on the future of microfinance in the country. Prof. Edu-Buandoh said over the years, proceedings of the conference had affected policy formulation regarding the industry. She called for the need to look at Microfinance in poverty reduction and at the same time wealth creation adding “the College is ready to partner industry to make it a reality." Delivering the keynote address, the Executive Director of Ghana Microfinance Institutions Network (GHAMFIN), Mr. Yaw Gyamfi, said microfinance had been accepted as a tool for poverty alleviation and financial inclusion in Ghana. “The microfinance sector has become a major conduit for the provision of financial services to the poor, low income and micro enterprise who are rejected by the banking system on the basis of being high risk," he said. Mr. Yaw Gyamfi noted that the microfinance landscape in Ghana had changed significantly over the last two decades and also their activities were not exclusive to them alone due to the emergence of new financial inclusion paradigm and the growing numbers of financial institutions. According to him, studies had shown that prudent risk management, adherence to best practices, regulatory framework, corporate governance, access to resources, technology and innovations,staff training and motivation were the significant drivers of success for microfinance institutions in Ghana. He hoped the conference would contribute significantly to enhance the growth of microfinance in the country. The Director of the Directorate of Academic Quality Assurance and Planning, Prof Kofi Awusabo-Asare, chaired the function.

NUGS-UCC Embarks on Clean-up Exercise

07 Feb, 2017 By louis Mensah

The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) Local Chapter of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has organized a five-hour clean-up exercise on campus. The exercise, which was undertaken in collaboration with the UCC Central Cadet Corps, Department of Environmental Science and the Environmental Health Section, was aimed at sensitizing members of the University community on the need to keep the environment clean. Some of the areas where the clean-up exercise took place were the Parliament House, Science Market, Old Library and the Central Administration. The students cleaned gutters, swept the streets and also weeded bushy areas. Addressing participants after the exercise,the Local NUGS President, Mr. Albert Awortwi Sagoe, expressed his gratitude to the students for the massive participation in the exercise. He urged members of the University community to maintain a clean and healthy environment at all times so as to stay away from diseases, adding that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." The Local NUGS President advised students to refrain from indiscriminate disposal of waste on campus and encouraged them to make good use of the waste bins provided by the Students' Representative Council (SRC) at vantage places to complement waste and sanitation management on campus. Mr. Sagoe commended the Environmental Health Section for providing the Union with the needed equipment to make the exercise a success. He therefore urged other associations on campus to organize regular clean-up exercises to support the efforts of the Environmental Health Section to keep the University clean. The Local NUGS President used the occasion to call on members of the University community to patronize the upcoming NUGS-UCC Ladies' Week Celebration, dubbed "OBAASIMA", which is scheduled to come off from 11th to 18th February, 2017.

UCC Certificates Recognized Internationally

02 Feb, 2017 By louis Mensah

The Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof. K.T Oduro, has assured students of colleges of education in the country that certificates awarded by the University of Cape Coast (UCC) are internationally recognized.

“No student can obtain UCC Certificate without meeting the minimum academic standards set by the Academic Board of the University,” he explained.

Prof. Oduro was speaking at the 7th Congregation of the John Bosco’s College of Education at Navrongo in the Upper East Region, where 512 Untrained Teachers Diploma in Basic Education (UTDBE) students graduated with Diploma in Basic Education certificates.

The Pro-Vice-Chancellor urged the graduands to be good ambassadors and torch bearers of their alma mater.

He congratulated the graduands and asked them to accept postings to rural areas to help bring transformation into teaching in schools.

In his welcome address, the Principal of the College, Mr. William Anamoo Atindana, thanked management of the University for supporting the College.

Mr. Atindana said the College had the capacity to function as a model college for the rest of the colleges of education in the three regions of the north.

However, he noted that it was currently not living up to that expectation due to certain challenges.

Consequently, he called on the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders to help address challenges facing the College such as erratic water supply and inadequate students’ hostel.

 Mr. Atindana appealed to authorities of the University to consider making the College a center for the 2017 Sandwich programme.

 The Principal urged the graduands to use the knowledge acquired at the College to serve humanity wherever they found themselves so as to raise the image of the College.

 Rev. Fr. Gabriel Aidoo, who represented the Chairman of the College’s Governing Council; Mr. Alfred Ndago, the former Principal of the College and Mr. Nasir Entsie, an Assistant Registrar at the Pro-Vice-Chancellor’s office, were among the dignitaries present at the graduation ceremony.

 The Pro-Vice-Chancellor also took advantage of the visit in the Upper East Region to inspect the progress of work of the College of Distance Education Regional Study Centre project, which is under construction at Zuarungu in the Bolgatanga  Municipal District.

  Prof. Oduro urged the project manager to accelerate the pace of work to enable the University use the facility  to enhance teaching and learning next academic year.
