Professional Profile

My research focuses on the intricate intersection of land management, kinesiology and health studies, and technology, with a particular emphasis on empowering vulnerable African communities. Integrating these disciplines enables me to address complex challenges related to land governance, community health, and social innovation.

With a strong foundation in Land Management, I explore how land policies and practices impact social, environmental, and public health outcomes. My work investigates the dynamics of land tenure security, sustainable land use, and equitable access to resources, emphasizing how these factors influence the well-being of marginalized populations.

Building on my background in Kinesiology and Health studies, I delve into environmental health equity and the social determinants of health. My research examines how climate change and environmental factors disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, including women, individuals with disabilities, and geographically isolated communities. For instance, my master’s thesis, titled “Promoting Access to Inclusive Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Services for Students with Physical Disabilities in Ghana,” reflects my commitment to reducing health disparities by advocating for inclusive policies and equitable access to essential services.

Technology plays a pivotal role in bridging gaps in land governance and health equity. As the Founder and Executive Chairman of Facio Innovations Technology, I have led initiatives that integrate digital tools—such as blockchain technology—to promote transparency in land management and ensure that marginalized communities are included in governance processes. My technical expertise enables me to develop innovative solutions that address systemic inequalities.

Currently, my doctoral research focuses on “Empowering Women Through Climate-Responsive Community Health Information to Tackle Schistosomiasis.” This project exemplifies the intersection of my three areas of expertise:

• Land Management: Understanding how land use and environmental factors contribute to the spread of schistosomiasis.
• Health Studies: Investigating the health impacts on marginalized populations and developing strategies to mitigate disease transmission.
• Technology: Collaborating with community health providers to develop a novel mobile application that communicates schistosomiasis risk information. This app ensures that affected communities, particularly women and individuals with disabilities, can access and act upon crucial health data in a timely and accessible manner.

Through this interdisciplinary approach, I aim to co-create solutions that promote land tenure security, enhance community health outcomes, and leverage technology for social innovation. I am dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion by ensuring that marginalized groups are actively involved in health and development programs.

My ultimate aspiration is to contribute to the development of inclusive and sustainable land policies that empower communities, secure land tenure, and promote equitable access to essential health resources and services across the African continent. By uniting land management, health studies, and technology, I seek to address the environmental and social challenges facing the most vulnerable populations, fostering a fairer and more sustainable world.
