KASWA proudly celebrates Dr. Ralph Nyadu-Addo, a distinguished KAAD alumnus and dedicated KAWSAN, who has been honoured with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.

This national honour recognises his remarkable contributions to academic collaboration, intercultural dialogue, and his long-standing commitment to strengthening ties between Germany and Ghana.

Congratulations, Dr. Nyadu-Addo. Your achievement inspires the entire KASWA community.

KASWA celebrates Mr. Joseph Sohyinzor Salmawobil and Miss Alice Bagyiereyele Lakyiere, who have successfully graduated from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi.

We are proud of their achievements and look forward to the impact they will continue to make in their fields and within the KASWA community.

Congratulations to you both!

Joseph, a Ghanaian doctoral candidate at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, is researching how the digitisation of land ownership and management is transforming African cities, particularly in relation to gentrification and displacement.
