He said if the country was able to develop and package those medications to meet international standards; it would have a lot of medicines that could support the health of people. 

According to him, he had developed a product that had the potential to be a breakthrough in the fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but there was need for further research on it.

He was optimistic the agreement between the two institutions would make his vision come to fruition. 

For his part, the Vice-Chancellor expressed appreciation to COA Manufacturing Company for the continuous support to UCC over the years and stated that management was glad with the agreement.  

He expressed the hope that the two institutions would work together to improve the quality of life of Ghanaians.

"Let us work together to change the circumstances of our people," he added.

Department of Water and Sanitation marks World Water Day

28 Mar, 2023 By DIS

The Department of Water and Sanitation, University of Cape Coast has celebrated this year’s World Water Day with a call on Ghanaians to protect and conserve water. 

The Founder and CEO of the Centre of Awareness (COA) Research and Manufacturing Company Limited, Professor Samuel Ato Duncan, who made the call, added that activities of illegal miners posed a major threat to the future water supply to  communities in particular and the nation as a whole.

"We can never talk about the preservation of water bodies without talking about the damaging effects of illegal mining (galamsey)" he said. 

Prof. Duncan said globally, water had come under serious threats from increasing population, climate change, and human activities and as a result, a multi- stakeholder approach to fight the menace of water pollution was necessary. 

He said understanding the importance of water would help achieve Goal Six of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6) which focuses on access to clean water and sanitation for all.

He said COA was ready to partner with stakeholders in the water and sanitation sector to address the canker of water pollution while calling on government to support agencies promoting water and sanitation in the country.

Keynoter for the event, Mr. Kwesi Brown, Head of the Community Water and Sanitation Agency also cautioned Ghanaians against the fast pace at which Ghana’s water resources were being depleted. He hinted of the imminent danger the country faced in the production of portable water and advised against illegal activities that threatened the achievement of clean water and sanitation for all.

He reiterated that achieving SDG 6 was hinged on the collective efforts of the ordinary Ghanaian and people placed in high offices. He added that winning the war waged against illegal mining in the country begged for total commitment and change in the mindset of persons engaged in the illegality.

A representative from the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), Central Region, Nicholas Hene Ampong Okyere, re-echoed the need to preserve water as an essential commodity to life. In achieving that, he said the company was working with government to ensure that universal water coverage was met by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goal Six (SDG 6).

He, therefore, urged the public to desist from activities that pollute water bodies. 

A representative from the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), Mrs Ernestina Ohenewaa Benti, said the mandate of CWSA was the provision of safe water to rural communities and small towns as well as promote water related sanitation and hygiene practices. 

She expressed commitment towards achieving its mandate and partnering with its stakeholders to deliver on its planned medium-term programmes and projects. 

Head of the Department of Water and Sanitation-UCC, Ing Prof. Peter Appiah Obeng, in his remark, called on Ghanaians to conserve water bodies to project the nation’s socio-economic development.

He insisted on the need to fight against illegal mining and logging of trees, which destroyed water bodies for Ghanaians to get the full benefits of their water resources.

He observed that it was necessary to share and educate the populace about the implications of pollution of water bodies and wasteful use of water.

This year’s World Water Day celebration was on the theme, “Accelerating Change”.

StuFSO scholars at the forum

StuFSO Scholars Challenged to Study Hard to Justify Investment by UCC

28 Mar, 2023 By DIS

Beneficiary students of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Students’ Financial Support Office (StuFSO) Scholarship have been challenged to take their academic work seriously to justify the investment made in them.

The Chairman of the UCC Scholarship Committee, Prof. Samuel Acquah , who threw the challenge, told the beneficiary students, aptly called scholars, that their academic performance was precondition to enable them enjoy the Scholarship package.

"Your academic performance is the only measure of success if you want to be on the scholarship scheme," he said, speaking to the beneficiaries at the Scholars' Forum.

Scholars Forum

The Forum, organised by the Students’ Financial Support Office (StuFSO) was aimed at helping to produce all-round students. 

Prof. Acquah reminded the beneficiaries to make good use of the opportunity they had been given, bearing in mind that so many brilliant-but-needy students attended the selection interview but did not qualify.

In that regard, he pointed out to the beneficiaries that the best way to repay for the investment was to study, abide by the rules, be disciplined, good ambassadors of the Scheme and excel in their various fields of study. 

Prof. Acquah implored scholars to dress decently to lectures and avoid deviancy so as not to tarnish the image of StuFSO. 

Becoming a Scholar

The Administrator of StuFSO, Ms. Grace Mensah, making a presentation on the topic: "Becoming a Scholar" stressed the need for scholars to engage in volunteer activities because it provides the opportunity to gain valuable working skills whilst developing important social skills. 

In view of that beneficiary students would undertake voluntary work on campus five hours in a week. The voluntary works include Shelving at the Main Library, Farm Hands at UCC Farms, Sales and Bookkeeping Training for Petty Traders and Primary School Teaching in Surrounding Communities

She encouraged the scholars to cultivate the habit of reading for intellectual growth and literal adventure.

Ms. Mensah urged the recipients to use the forum to make new acquaintances, network, and share views and ideas that would help the forward match of StuFSO.

She advised the scholars to also be innovative and venture into entrepreneurship to create more employment opportunities after school.

Ms Mensah expressed gratitude to the contributors of the Scholarship Scheme, including the Students’ Representative Council, Graduate Students’ Association, Office of the Dean of Students, Alumni, amongst others 

Some of the beneficiaries praised StuFSO for their support and timely respond to the emails of applicants.

StuFSO Ativities

StuFSO provides financial assistance to needy but brilliant students of the University of Cape Coast (UCC). This is done through the management and disbursement of the UCC Scholarship as well as coordination of external scholarships to increase access to funding for students. The Office completed disbursing the 2023 UCC Scholarship for needy and brilliant students by 7th February, 2023.

The objectives for the 2023 UCC Scholars’ Forum were to reorient and challenge awardees to become scholars, discuss the privileges and responsibilities of awardees, explain the role of awardees in the future sustenance of the scholarship and sign-up awardees for the 2023 StuFSO Voluntary Programme.

The maiden UCC Scholars Forum was organised as a two-day event.

OPEN DAY 2023
World water day

ACECoR collaborates with partner organisations to celebrate World Water Day at Shama

24 Mar, 2023 By DIS

Access to clean water remains a major challenge for millions of people around the world, including Ghana.

It is in the light of this, that the Africa Centre of Excellence in Coastal Resilience (ACECoR) of the University of Cape Coast, in partnership with  Friends of the Nation (FoN)  marked World Water Day in the Shama District in the Western Region on 22nd March 2023.

MALNET PROJECT

The celebration forms part of activities of the Marine Litter Network (MALNET) project being implemented by ACECoR together with partners from three Africa Centres of Excellence, government agencies and Non-governmental Organisations in Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, and Benin. The Network is funded by the Association of African Universities with the aim to promote regional partnerships to understand the marine litter menace through research and galvanise stakeholder actions towards the conservation of coastal and marine environments.

World Water Day

The celebration themed “The Role of the Community in Accelerating Change to Solve Water and Sanitation Crises” sought to contribute to ongoing awareness activities on the growing challenges associated with water pollution and the need for water preservation in the country – contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6.

As part of activities for the day, the partners engaged community members and school children in a clean-up exercise along the Apo beach.

Importance of Water

Addressing community members and participants after the clean-up exercise, Ms. Esinam Attipoe- an Assistant Research Fellow at ACECoR, who doubles as the Project Coordinator, underscored the importance of water as a resource for the survival of living organisms, including human beings and urged the public to protect water resources. She called on residents to desist from defecating and throwing household waste on the beach.

ACECoR and Japan Advance Integrated Sediment Management in West Africa

23 Mar, 2023 By DIS

A technical mission of Japanese experts visited Ghana,to deepen the cooperation between Africa Centre of Excellence in Coastal Resilience (ACECoR), University of Cape Coast and Japan.

The Japanese delegation and staff from ACECoR visited several coastal sites including the Volta River estuary where they explored areas of cooperation; and the Anlo Beach for a joint topographic survey to better understand the challenges.

ACECoR and Japan Partnership under WACA Knowledge Hub

The visit was in line with the signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed between Japan Infrastructure Development Institute (IDI) and ACECoR under the West Africa Coast Areas Management Program (WACA) to groom the next generation of innovators.

Under the agreement ACECoR’s mandate is to promote the sustainable management and use of coastal environment. This would be done through training and conducting demand-driven research to support coastal policy development in Africa.

In line with the MoA, IDI will collaborate with ACECoR to make experiences, knowledge and technologies on coastal erosion, flood and sediment management available to West Africa countries.

As an island nation with 75% of its land covered by mountains, Japan boosts a rich experience in Integrated Sediment Management that considers coasts, mountains, and rivers. Activities under the partnership will include knowledge exchange, research studies, training programme, expert dispatch, short courses and academic cooperation between Japanese relevant organisations and ACECoR.

Through the partnership an online workshop on “Integrated Sediment Management in WACA Countries” was organized with regional partners in May 2022 to build awareness on the issue. About 80 participants from different WACA countries participated.

Additionally, Professor Yoshimitsu Tajima of the University of Tokyo  gave a lecture to ACECoR researchers and students on a rapid assessment of Ghana coasts and future prospects based on coastal engineering.

The Director of ACECoR, Prof. Denis W. Aheto described the visit as very relevant to the to achieving the aims of the agreement.

“I thank the Japanese team for coming a long way to Ghana and I hope future cooperation will lead to long-term human resource development” Prof. Aheto noted.

Sediment issues

One might think that beach erosion is caused by direct forces such as high waves or rising sea level. In reality, the root cause is often human activities: Interruption of downstream sediment transport caused by sediment deposition in dam reservoirs and excessive river sand mining, reduce sediment supply to the coast.

To address coastal erosion and other coastal issues, it is essential to take an integrated approach from the river catchment to the coast. In West Africa specifically, effective and sustainable solutions cannot be taken without looking at the root causes in upstream areas.

Deepening the collaboration

Based on the lessons learned from the site visits, the teams agreed to prepare a concrete plan for future cooperation. This includes cooperation to strength modern research; building the educational capacity of ACECoR on Integrated Sediment Management and especially on coastal engineering; and applying for a joint research project on Integrated Sediment Management.
