FOREWORD

Twenty Five (25) years on, the University for Development Studies (UDS) continues to

pursue excellence in higher education through innovative programmes, projects and activities

that mirror its motto ‘Knowledge for Service’.

The 2017/2018 Academic year was a very eventful one, taking cognissance of the silver

jubilee anniversary of UDS. The 25th

Anniversary Committee which was inaugurated in

October 2017 initiated a number of programmes and activities, to celebrate UDS @ 25.

Notable among these were tree planting exercises carried out to beautify the various

campuses of the University; a crash helmet campaign to enlighten staff, students and the

general public on road safety; an Inter-schools Quiz competition, and fun games held across

various campuses.

The flagship continental governance lecture series- Africa Leadership Lectures (ALL) was

held in April 2018. H. E. Pedro Verona Rodriguez Pires, former President of the Republic of

Cape Verde who delivered the lecture, was also honoured with an honorary doctorate

degree.

The year under review also witnessed the introduction of demand driven programmes and

the establishment of a new faculty - Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Navrongo

Campus

UDS also celebrated the works of two of her long- serving astute Academics, namely Prof.

Seidu Al-hassan and Prof. Herbert Dei, both of whom delivered their inaugural lecture in

June 2018 and October 2018 respectively.

Management, in furtherance of the Vision of UDS to create and sustain linkages for teaching

and research, signed memoranda of understanding with top-notch research institutions such

as the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research- Savannah Agricultural Research

Institute (CSIR- SARI), Ghana, and the International Institute for Environment and

Development (IIED), UK.

The University for Development Studies remains indebted to its dependable partners and

stakeholders for their unflinching support.

UDS took the flag of GUSA from UEW as symbol to host this particular edition of

the competition. The management of the University formed the Local Organizing

Committee (LOC) with the Pro Vice-Chancellor as the Chairman to see the

preparation towards the games in order to make it a success. The Committee out of

its commitment also formed other sub-committees such as the accommodation,

feeding, publicity and sponsorship to help in the preparation process.

Accommodation: Facilities like the GUSA Hostel, School Hostel, ICC, Hotels and

Hostels nearby were used to accommodate the participating Universities; the

Accommodation Committee has to add additional mattresses to the rooms in order

to be able to deal with the risen numbers by the participating Universities.

Feeding: A caterer each was assigned to each of the participating Universities to

take care of their feeding. Canopies and Chairs amidst music-interlude was

provided within the Hostel premises to make participating have their meals in

serene environment.

Technical: Centers like the AluiMahama Sports Stadium, the Norrip Village Tennis

Court, the Center for National Culture, Nobisco SHS and University Sports Arena

were identified and use for the games. GUSA provided the Officiating Officials

with the University augmenting it in the athletics competition.

Performance: The University participated in most of the games played except few.

The University’s overall position was second among eight participating institutions.

FASU Games: The University after putting up a spectacular performance at the

organized GUSA games decided to make a representation at the 2017/2018 FASU

games which was to be staged in Makelle Ethiopia. The FASU games is an avenue

for the African Universities to compete for laurels. In view of the above, the

Directorate selected eight of the student athletes in athletics who performed

creditably at the GUSA games and met international standards to represent the

University and Ghana at the Mekelle games in Ethiopia. The eight athletes made

thirteen medals for the University which also put Ghana on the position on the

medals table with the University ending forth in Africa among fifty four

Universities. In total the team had seven gold medals, four silver medals and two

bronze medals making thirteen medals.

The Directorate of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance (DAPQA) is under the Office

of the Vice-Chancellor with a mandate to oversee that quality assurance culture is entrenched

in the University. The overarching aim of the Directorate is to ensure that quality academic

standards are upheld in the University through continuous quality improvement in

institutional and academic programmes. The Directorate is also responsible for coordinating

and handling affiliation matters in the University. The Directorate, in collaboration with

relevant Faculties/Schools and Departments ensures that prospective affiliate institutions

meet specific standards set by the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) and the

National Accreditation Board (NAB) guidelines to qualify for consideration.

Activities

i. Vetting of Curricula for Approval by NCTE and Accreditation by NAB: The

Directorate processed a number of documents from various Faculties/Schools on

proposed undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that required approval and

(re)accreditation by the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) and

National Accreditation Board (NAB) respectively. The proposals were meticulously

vetted to ensure their conformity with NCTE guidelines on the mounting of new

programmes as well as NAB questionnaires on the application for accreditation and

reaccreditation of new and existing programmes respectively. This was done to

ensure that proposed academic programmes receive quick approval from NCTE and

(re)accreditation by NAB.

ii. Monitoring of Beginning of Lectures: As part of efforts to ensure quality teaching

and learning in the University, the Directorate coordinated the monitoring of the

beginning of lectures for the Second Trimesters of the 2017/2018 Academic Year.

This was to ascertain whether lectures began according to the University’s academic

calendar. The exercise, which lasted from 29th

January to 16th

February, 2018, was

conducted concurrently within the first three weeks in all the four Campuses of the

University (Tamale, Nyankpala, Navrongo and Wa).

iii. Monitoring of Examinations: The integrity of every higher education institution

in part hinges on the maintenance of quality standards in the conduct of its

examinations. In view of this, the Directorate during the 2017/2018 Academic Year

visited the campuses to monitor the conduct of examinations. The First Trimester

monitoring took place between 10th

and 18th

security on the Campuses. A report was submitted be to the Vice-Chancellor for the

attention of the University’s Management.

vi. Assessment of Courses and Lecturers for 2017/2018 Academic Year: The reports

on Assessment of Courses and Lecturers for First Trimester and Second Trimester

various Faculties and Schools for the attention of Lecturers within their respective

Faculties and Schools.

vii. Staff Profile: The Directorate also successfully presented the staff profile on

Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff of the University to the Governing Council in

the month of February 2018. In addition, the Directorate also furnished the

c) Termination of Affiliation

i) The University has terminated its affiliation with the Golden Sunbeam

International College of Science and Technology with effect from 1st

February,

2018. The affiliation was terminated due to the following reasons:

Failure to abide by the Article 3(2) of the Affiliation Agreement by

admitting students without following the due process outlined in the

Agreement.

Appointment of the staff of the College in contravention of Article 5(3) of

the Affiliation Agreement.

ii) Yendi College of Health Sciences has also abrogated its Affiliation with the

University due to directive for the Ministry of Health for all the Nurses

and Midwifery Training Colleges to affiliate with the Kwame Nkrumah

University of Science and Technology.

iii) Another letter was received from the ABOT College of Health Sciences

and Technology, Kumasi to transfer their current students to other

institutions and terminate their affiliation with the University. This is due

to enrolment challenges faced by the College as it has only 12 students. In

debts before their proposal will be considered for the abrogation of the

affiliation agreement. The University is awaiting response from the College

to conclude on the termination of the Affiliation.

Introduction

The Third Trimester Field Practical Programme (TTFPP) is an integrated flagship

programme that seeks to link the with the communities in the catchment area and beyond. It

is an indispensable part of the academic training curriculum of the University for

Development Studies (UDS) and students must, by necessity fulfil its requirements before

graduation. It draws its justification from PNDC Law 279 (1992) based on which the

university wasestablished. The goal of the programme is to blend the academic work of the

UDS with that of the community in order to provide constructive interaction between the

two for the total development of Northern Ghana in particular and the country as a whole.


44

In pursuance of this mandate, the Third Trimester of the academic year is devoted solely to

field work in the rural communities, where students live and carry out studies on

developmental issues with the active participation of the members of the communities.

Prior to their departure to the rural communities in the first year, students are taken through

orientation lectures to beintroduced to aspects of community studies and prepare them for

the work in the field. Students practice community entry and aspects of community

diagnosis using participatory approaches. Emphasis is placed on techniques of needs

assessment, culminating in the identification and analysis of the problems and potentials of

the community using a combination of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools and

techniques. This year the orientation lectures for the second years were organised during the

second trimester whiles that for the Level 100 students were organised in the first week of

the third trimester on the various campuses of the university. The 2017/18 academic year

marked the beginning of the implementation of the re-structured TTFPP which is now

campus based.

The problems and potentials analysed during the first year serve as the starting point of the

activities for the second year whereby students are tasked to propose and develop pragmatic

interventions for the resolutions of the problems identified in the first year. Students are

expected to demonstrate the feasibility, possible implementation and usefulness of the

identified potentials to the communities in their development proposals or plans.

Programme Objectives

The general objectives of the integrated TTFPP are to:

i. Help students to develop favourable attitudes towards working in rural and

deprived communities.

ii. Expose students, practically, to the nature of the development problems and

potentials of Northern Ghana in particular and the country as a whole.

iii. Provide useful services to Ghanaian rural communities through the exchange of

knowledge and its application to address the felt needs and aspirations of these

communities

iv. Generate data for further research into problem-solving development issues, and

other purposes.

TTFPP Achievements for the year

This year’s programme was organised successfully.Both students and staff were very

cooperative and this ensured the success achieved. Relationships between staff and students

and members of the host communities were very cordial and the participation of community

members was very active.In a few cases, however, communities expressed reservations about

they not seeing tangible benefits from the programme. It is hoped that the re-structuring will

help address this concern.

Contributionof Third Trimester Field Practical Programme to Community

Development

It is important to note that the primary aim of the Third Trimester Field Practical

Programme (TTFPP) is to provide students with the requisite knowledge and skills in

community work. In the light of this, the communities serve as field laboratories for the

students and affords them the opportunity to practise what they have learnt in the course of

their lectures.

This notwithstanding, the programme has made very moderate contributions to the overall

development of the districts and communities where the students have been to. In terms of

soft skills, the programme has contributed to building the capacities of community members

through the use of the participatory methodologies that are employed in carrying out

activities in the communities. More specifically, the programme has contributed to the

acquisition of skills in the following areas: (1) community mobilisation, (2) identifying,

analysing and prioritising the needs and potentials of the communities, (3) proffering local


47

solutions to identified problems/needs and (4) harnessing the potentials (economic, social,

cultural, etc.) of the communities.

The presence of the students in these rural communities has served as motivation for some of

the community members to educate their wards to the highest possible levels. Through the

links established between the university and the communities many students who meet the

requisite admission requirements are admitted into the university to pursue various

programmes of their choice. Once they complete, these graduates go back to their

communities to help in the development of their areas. Whiles in the communities, the

students have engaged in teaching in the basic schools, Junior High and Senior High Schools

in communities that lack or do not have the full complement of teachers.

The reports that are left in the communities have served as vital reference documents for

development organisations that work in those communities. These reports zero in on the

core problems and potentials of the communities and serve as vital sources of information. In

some instances, school buildings have been constructed by some development organisations

because they were identified as the prime need of the communities.

Currently preparations are on-going to forge a collaboration between one of our (UDS)

campuses and a partner university in Germany to establish an underground water reservoir

that can be used for irrigation purposes in the dry season. The baseline information that has

culminated in this collaborative arrangement was produced by students during their stay in

communities in the district. The report produced identified the area as a flood prone area

during the rainy season. The water, however, dries up within a few days/weeks after the

rains thus leaving the area without water for farming in the long dry season.

As recent as last year (2017), students in a community in the Upper West Region came face-

to-face with mythical conception of male circumcision. It was seen as a taboo in the

community. Through education, the students have succeeded in breaking the myth and got

the District Assembly to provide logistics and resources for the medical personnel in the

district to carry out circumcision on male members of the community.

At the district level, the reports that are shared with the District Assemblies have served as

vital sources of information during the preparation of the Medium Term Development

Plans. It is important to note that each district receives not less than 20 of these reports every

year. For the two years therefore, each district receives not less than 40 of these reports.


48

Challenges

Financing the programme and the mobilisation of transport for carrying out such an

important but complex programme remains a challenge that must be looked at to ensure

sustainability. Much as the University has and continues to play the key role in financing it

is becoming increasingly obvious that there is the need to explore other sources of funding

for the programme.

Conclusion

UDS clearly stands out of other university in Ghana because of the Third Trimester Field

Practical Programme. The products are well suited for work in every part of the country

because of the training they receive. The university will continue to innovate and improve

upon the current structure of the TTFPP to make it more relevant to current demands of

society.

ICT DIRECTORATE

The core function of the ICT Directorate is to create an enabling environment for the

University to deliver its mission to students and staff. The key strategic objectives of the

University over the next five years include reducing financial pressures, and promoting

greater organisational efficiencies through technology without compromising on quality. To

this end, the University envisages ICT as a tool essential for revolutionising its operations.

The Director of ICT and the team have established very sound programmes for research,

project management, risk and financial management, backed by effective governance

framework that will ensure the University’s ICT infrastructure remains fit for purpose. In

supporting the University to achieve its strategic objectives, the Director of ICT and the

team have provided leadership and drive for organisational and business transformation

through the appropriate deployment of cost-effective solutions based on sound academic and

business needs. Further steps have also been taken to enhance the University’s income

generation through ventures such as running short courses in ICT and consultancy services.

During the year under review, the directorate successfully carried out some major and

innovative projects including:

Reconstruction of the University’s Website: The University’s website has been

redesigned to give more visibility to its structure, administration and academic

programmes. It is modelled around the four campuses, with a central site linking

four different micro-sites for the campuses. Thus, management of the website has

now been decentralised having each campus being in-charge of its own site.

Attendance Management System: A biometric clock-in/clock-out system has been

successfully piloted on the Tamale campus to monitor work attendance of all


49

administrative staff. This keeps track of daily reporting and closing times of staff. At

any point in time, profile of work rate of all staff can be obtained for decision

making.

E-Service Delivery: An online platform has been launched to support the Academic

Affairs Section to deliver its services to students ubiquitously. This initiative has

injected efficiency into the delivery of student services since students and alumni

alike no longer travel to Tamale for such services. Among the services that can be

directly accessed online include Transcript, English Proficiency, and Introductory

Letter requests.

Cloud Storage: Cloud data storage has been implemented to store digital

documents. This is aimed at creating a centralised data storage point, where data can

be readily available and/or accessible for administrative purposes across all

Campuses of the University. This is hoped to ensure a better way of safeguarding

information since backups of all official documents are stored in the cloud. This

system is secured, and Information stored in the cloud is accessible only to

authorized users.

E-counselling: An e-counselling service has been initiated to make counselling

services readily available to students irrespective of their locations. The service is

delivered via a private portal where a series of private written exchanges between a

student and a professional counsellor is provided in a confidential manner. This

initiative is aimed at rendering counselling services to students during circumstances

when face-to-face appointments with counsellors may be impossible /difficult.

University-Wide Fibre Network: A major restructuring and re-cabling was carried

out during the year to streamline the University’s fibre optic network to ensure

more efficient network connectivity and reliable internet service across all

Campuses. This is an ongoing process, and gradually, all structures of the University

will be connected by fibre.

The ICT Directorate currently has a staff strength of 15; comprising of 4 Senior Members, 6

Senior Staff and 5 Junior Staff.

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND HEALTH SCIENCES

Introduction

The establishment of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) in 1996 was in line

with the University’s mandate and its method of teaching, researching and community work

extension. The School’s programmes focus on human development through the training of

highly qualified and unique crop of health professionals who upon completion are able and

willing to provide the needed health services in deprived communities in particular to

improve on the quality of life of the people.

In doing so, the SMHS uses the Problem-Based Learning approach for the training of medical

doctors and other health professionals. As part of this methodology of training, students are

sent to rural and deprived communities for four weeks where the students are expected to

identify health problems and offer community service as well.

This form of training is known as the Community-Based Education and Service (COBES).

Students in their clinical years are also deployed to district hospitals for six to eight weeks as

part of the PBL system of training and community service which is the core mandate of the

SMHS. The district postings also afford the students the opportunity to provide support to

medical officers in those hospitals.

Also, our nurse anaesthesia students spend six - eight weeks in district hospitals learning

under the supervision of the anaesthetists in the various hospitals. At the same time they

provide anaesthesia services in such hospitals.

FACULTY OF EDUCATION

Introduction

The Faculty of Education (FoE) became a full-fledged Faculty in February 2013 after it was

carved out of the then Faculty of Education Law and Business Studies (FELBS).Since its

inception, the Faculty has played and continues to play a leading role in theUniversity’s

efforts towards the socio-economic transformation of Ghana. From itscommencement, the

Faculty has been organized around a multi-campus structure, offering collaborative

programmes with relevant Departments and Faculties.Accordingly, the Arts, Humanities

and Social Science based programmes are located at the Wa Campus, Mathematics and

Applied Sciences in Navrongo, Agricultural-based programmes in Nyankpala and Health-

based programmes at the Tamale Campus. Theprogrammesaretargeted at the formal

(Teacher Education Studies) and non-formal (Development Education Studies) systems of

education at the Diploma, Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels.Also, theprogrammes

arepurposefullydesigned to respond to ongoing teaching and learning, research and

dissemination.Furthermore, the programmes are expected to address the administration and

management challenges in education, as well as educational quality and national development

needs. Theprogrammesare in the areas of Teacher Education (i.e. Early Childhood, Basic and

Secondary), Development Education and Foundations Education.

Another important event that took place in the Faculty during the period under review was

thehanding-over of the position ofDean of the Faculty byProf. A. AtiaApusigah, the

immediate past Dean of the Faculty, as she embarked on sabbatical leave starting fromJune 1,

2018. Accordingly, the position of Dean became vacantwhich called for election of a new

Deanon June 14, 2018. During that transition period, theVice-Dean steered the affairs of the

Faculty until theassumption into office of the newly elected Dean, Dr.

AdamsSulemanaAchanso, who assumed office onJuly 1, 2018.

The Faculty of Education has seven (7) Departments as follows:

Health Science Education (Tamale Campus)

Development Education Studies (Tamale Campus)

Educational Foundations Studies (Tamale Campus)

Basic Education Studies (Tamale Campus)

Mathematics and Science Education (Navrongo Campus)

Social and Business Education (Wa Campus)

Agricultural and Consumer Sciences Education (Nyankpala Campus)

The Faculty also has Units on all the Campuses. They are the Professional Education

Practice Unit; and Research and Projects Unit

INSTITUTE FOR DISTANCE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

Introduction

The Institute for Distance and Continuing Education (IDCE) is located in the Tamale ‘B’

Campus at Choggu near the Tamale Technical University. The Distance Learning (DL)

programme is the brain-child of the current Vice Chancellor, Prof. Gabriel A. Teye of the

University for Development Studies (UDS). It was established in 2016 to provide quality

tertiary education to Ghanaians who for many reasons cannot directly access the traditional

campus based (face-to-face) learning.

INSTITUTE FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AND

CONSULTANCY SERVICES

Introduction

The Institute for Interdisciplinary Research and Consultancy Services (IIRaCS) is a unit of

UDS established in 1992. As one of the first units of UDS, it is responsible for undertaking

basic, applied and action oriented research that is directly related to the development and

environmental needs of Northern Ghana.

The Institute started as the Centre for Continuing Education and Interdisciplinary Research

(CCEIR) but was upgraded to the Institute for Continuing Education and interdisciplinary

Research (ICEIR) in April 2013. Two years later, the Institute was given the additional

responsibility of coordinating university wide consultancy services and was renamed

Institute for Interdisciplinary Research and Consultancy Services (IIRaCS), thus ceding off

the Continuing Education aspect for the formation of another unit in the University, the

Centre for Distance Learning and Continuing education.

As part of its mandate, the Institute annually organizes two scholarly platforms, namely, the

Harmmattan School and Interdisciplinary Conference, in February and September

respectively. For the year under review the Institute, in collaboration with the Desert

Research Institute of the USA also organized an International Water and sanitation (WASH)

Conference from … to … There are plans to make the WASH Conference too an annual

programme.

The year under review also saw the establishment and inauguration of the French

Multimedia Centre for Tamale Campus under the auspices of the Institute. As an academic

unit, part of IIRaCS’ mandate also includes teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

It runs MA programmes in NGO Management, Ma in Environmental Security and

Livelihood change, and plans to start MA and Ph.D. in Human Development. The Institute

too has had the approval to commence a short course in Development Action through

Expressive Media (DATEM).
