The Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) in collaboration with the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), University of Cape Coast, has organised a roundtable discussion on the study on the link between group level political inequality and ethnic conflict in fragile states.

The primary objective of the study, according to CDD, is to improve governance by reducing exclusion and discrimination of the ethnic groups and mitigate the diverse consequences of such policies.

 The Managing Director of the Sasakawa Africa Fund for Extension Education (SAFE), Dr. Deola Naibakelo, has called on Prof. Joseph Ghartey Ampiah to congratulate him on his appointment as Vice-Chancellor.

Dr. Naibakelao, who is currently based in Addis Abba, Ethiopia, was on a routine visit to the Sasakawa Centre to assess their progress of work.
