This grant will bolster research into urban poverty and health issues in the West African country of Ghana as well as strengthen partnership ties between the EU and Ghana.
The initiative "Population Training and Research Capacity for Development (PopTRCD)" will be a joint effort and will involve social scientists from both institutions working side by side. Together they will investigate the effects of the social and demographic change currently underway across the continent. Their research will increase understanding about the current condition of health of low-income people living in the cities of Africa.
