Dr Kwadwo Oti-Sarpong has received a grant from the Energy Interdisciplinary Research Centre for a policy-driven collaborative project to guide the delivery of low carbon emissions infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Working with Dr Rehema Msulwa, a Research Associate at the Bennett Institute for Public Policy, and a contributor to the CSIC Smart Infrastructure Blog series, Dr Oti-Sarpong, who is also a member of the Ghana Institute of Construction, will explore the critical role of policy instruments as tools to guide the planning and delivery of low carbon public sector infrastructure projects in SSA countries, with focus on Ghana as a case study. The Energy Interdisciplinary Research Centre at the University of Cambridge supports Cambridge academics through a range of initiatives aimed at accelerating the transition to a zero-carbon world.
'We hope the policy paper will help to inform infrastructure sector stakeholders of the important policy instruments that need to be developed to help guide the delivery of public sector projects in ways that will lead to the least carbon emissions. It is anticipated that this output will inform future decision making in establishing a framework to guide the delivery of infrastructure projects sustainably' Dr Kwadwo Oti-Sarpong, CSIC Research Associate
