Unmasking Land Grant in Ghana's Public Higher Education Institutions Ecosystem for Transparency and Accountability

Author(s) Mr. Kwame Boakye-Yiadom
Country Ghana
Abstract This article promotes transparency and accountability in Ghana's public higher education institutions' land grants by revealing hidden land grantors and recommending transparent procedures to increase accountability. The technique, findings, and conclusions are all described in this abstract. The study employs a constructivist methodology, a qualitative research approach, and a case study design. It interviews 13 key informants with semi-structured questions, and the records are transcribed, processed, classified, and thematically organized. We gathered data from land tenure agreements, press clippings, land valuation rates, and memorandum-style notes, which we then examined by photocopying and web downloads. For results, the paper suggests improving legal frameworks for Ghanaian PHEIs, establishing land banks for talks, and using Homans' social exchange theory and Adam Smith's rational choice theory to explain land awards. Further study is required to assess the influence of sustainability and resource distribution on the PHEI ecosystem. In conclusion, the study recommends that the three parties engaged in land grants—the Ghanaian government, traditional authorities as grantors, and PHEIs as grantees—adopt policies to strengthen legal frameworks. The government might set up land banks for talks, and scholars could apply Homans' social exchange theory and Adam Smith's rational choice theory to explain land allocations in Ghana. More studies are needed to understand the influence of land grant sustainability and resource allocation on the PHEI ecosystem.
