It is increasingly clear that mistrust in public health recommendation affects efforts to slowdown the spread of COVID-19 in many countries. The objective of this study is to identify perceived drivers of mistrust in public health responses to COVID-19 in Ghana, using concept mapping with a range of local stakeholders (n = 21). The study was conducted between July and August 2020. Fifty-two items describing factors that influence mistrust in COVID-19 response were identified across eight themes. Out of eight clusters that emerged, participants rated weak health system, distrust in politicians and state institutions, and politicization of response measures as the most important and prevalent drivers of mistrust . The results show that the old narrative of cultural beliefs and illiteracy is not sufficient for understanding mistrust in public health programs during epidemics in SSA, at least in the case of COVID-19 in Ghana. This study demonstrates the need for global health practitioners to pay attention to structural forces and political relations in order to paint a fuller picture of mistrust during epidemics and pandemics.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":"42 1","pages":"205 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44175294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When ordinary community members access information about the utilization of natural resource revenue and get an opportunity to provide feedback, the revenue management improves. In this article, the authors engaged Ghanaians through a spatial crowdsourcing platform for their opinion about petroleum management revenue in Ghana. The participants accessed the platform via their mobile phones and completed a survey on their opinions about petroleum revenue management, the Free Senior High School program, and their priority areas for petroleum revenue funding in Ghana. The results suggest that ordinary community members, and particularly women, seemed less informed about the management of petroleum revenue in Ghana. Furthermore, Ghanaians’ opinions regarding their prioritized projects for petroleum revenue funding vary geographically. The authors conclude that decision-makers can use spatial crowdsourcing to engage ordinary community members in natural resource revenue management.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":"42 1","pages":"187 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42532336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, this paper examines the 1983–2016 rainfall and temperature variability and trends using merged satellite-gauge station data in the UNESCO designated Cultural Landscapes of Konso, Ethiopia. We have employed a non-parametric Mann-Kendall test to analyze rainfall and temperature trends, whereas the coefficient of variation (CV) has been used for variability analysis. The distribution and severity of meteorological droughts were mapped using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). Our findings revealed an increase in annual and summer (Kiremt) season rainfall by 3.16 mm and 0.42 mm per year, respectively. However, rainfall in the spring (Belg) season decreased by 1.12 mm per year. Our findings also showed a substantial spatiotemporal variability in drought events due to variations in rainfall and topography. Consequently, the observed increase in frequency and the spatial extent of drought pose potential threats to rainfed farming, which gradually exposes smallholders to food insecurity and socioeconomic vulnerability. Therefore, agroecological-based local adaptation and mitigation interventions to climate variability are needed to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers and ensure the continuity of the Konso cultural landscapes.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":"42 1","pages":"107 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47430231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
