As part of the celebration of the Day of Scientific Rennaissance of Africa at the University of Ghana, CSPS held a special (virtual) seminar on a topic that brought together two central themes for social policy and social development on the continent: agriculture and employment.

Prof. Nana Akua Anyidoho, Director of CSPS, participated in a panel on strengthening the relationship between feminist research and policy practice.
