NEW PAPER! Our paper on Chiefs and Floods in Tamale, Ghana, is based on two years of #coproduction #cocreation activities. We examined the role of traditional authorities in #climatechange #adaptation. Full article: tandfonline.com
We outline how a hybrid governance system (i.e., deep collaboration between state and non-state authorities) could optimize the provision of public goods and services and enable more effective and equitable outcomes.
