In a significant stride towards fostering international collaboration on agricultural and environmental issues, Mr. Rashid Iddrisu Wari, the CEO of the World Institute of Africa Culture and Traditions (WIACT), extended a warm welcome to HRM Kongwura Jinkurige I at Tucson Arizona Airport, USA.
HRM Kongwura Jinkurige I has been invited to the University of Arizona, US, to partake in a workshop aimed at engaging faculty from various disciplines in research concerning agricultural and environmental challenges pertinent to the Savannah Region and governance in Ghana.
The event, hosted by the College of Social and Behavioral Science/Human Rights Practice Programs, underscores a research-practice partnership between the University of Arizona and the World Institute of Africa Culture and Traditions in Sawla (WIACT).
A panel presentation, organized by Dr. Mamadou Baro and Professor Mette Brogden, will delve into the dynamics of the Savannah Region at the Society for Applied Anthropology (SFAA) Annual Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With an anticipated attendance of 1,800 from the US and Canada, the conference serves as a pivotal platform for exchanging insights and solutions.
HRM Kongwura Jinkurige I is slated to address the colonial legacies impacting the Gonja and Northern Ghana regions, including governance pluralism encompassing national and traditional structures in Ghana. Moreover, he aims to engage with prominent farmers and rangers during his visit to gain insights into conflict resolution strategies, intending to apply these learnings to address issues faced by farmers and Fulani herders in Ghana.
Beyond its conference status, this event symbolizes more than just academic discourse; it serves as a fertile ground for the exchange of ideas, methodologies, and practical solutions, offering attendees an immersive experience into the professional world of agriculture and environmental management.
