It was interesting to experience university lectures in the UK \u2013 there are some things I\u2019ll take back to my teaching in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s important for these types of partnerships to be reciprocal and I\u2019m excited to see how the University of Ghana can facilitate research for students and academics from Imperial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During this period, Samuel facilitated the visit of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana to Imperial, a precursor to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/news\/254333\/imperial-university-ghana-sign-major-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signing of a Memorandum of Understanding<\/a>\u00a0between the institutions in June 2024.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Creating long-term impact for local populations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Samuel says that his interest in population and health geography began during his undergraduate studies, where he wrote his long essay on slums and their health problems in urban centres. During his Master\u2019s and Doctoral programme at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Samuel had the opportunity to develop this interest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Master\u2019s and Doctoral supervisor was a professor who was a medical geographer, and he took me under his wing, inspired me, and acted as a mentor. He invited some of the top professors in the field to NTNU to co-teach on some of the courses, which I drew a lot of inspiration from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samuel has used his research to benefit local populations and create change that will provide benefit now and in the future. As a consultant for the World Health Organisation (WHO), he facilitated the organisation of policy workshops and research activities on land use, health and policy tracking. Through the Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities Project, he\u2019s informed urban policy and practice by generating evidence on air pollution patterns.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2159\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2159\" style=\"width: 404px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-2159\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/imperial-people\/files\/2024\/10\/At-the-Palace-of-the-Naa-Yaba-Gulkpe-in-Tamale-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Professor Agyei-Mensah and the Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities research team at the Palace of the Naa Yaba Gulkpe in Tamale\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2159\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Agyei-Mensah and the Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities research team at the Palace of the Naa Yaba Gulkpe in Tamale.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThere is an increasing realisation that traffic is contributing more to air pollution in Accra, Ghana\u2019s capital. Through Pathways, we have been able to provide evidence on traffic to support advocacy for new regulations.\u201d<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Samuel facilitated the research on hybrid governance and co-production of flood risk adaptation in Tamale, Ghana with colleagues from Imperial, Kings College and University of Ghana, with funding from Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, he has also supported the integration of climate change awareness and education in traditional governance formats in Tamale with colleagues from Imperial, University of Ghana, University of Liverpool and Invisible Flock. This project provided a weather station for the Nalung Community of Tamale. The research was funded by Research England International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) 2023\/24 Global Development Hub ODA Project Accelerator.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Samuel is working on the Climate Change Resilient Equitable Healthy Cities in Africa (CLARITY-Africa) project (2024-2030), led by Imperial&#8217;s Professor Majid Ezzati and funded by the Wellcome Trust, which seeks to co-produce novel and transformative knowledge on how climate change affects environmental risk exposures, and who are vulnerable to these risks.
