Cost burden of Infant malaria treatment on households and health institutions in the Upper East Region Abotsi, A.K. This study estimates the economic cost burden of infant malaria treatment on households and institutions in the Upper East Region of Ghana. This study uses two methods to determine the costs of treatment of infant malaria. First, it uses institutional costing in order to represent overheads directly attributable to hospital service for cases of infant malaria. Second, it uses household costing of malaria treatment for infants in order to represent the sum of all out-of-pocket expenses made by the caregiver, plus the costs representing loss of potential household productivity. The data collected consist of a cross sectional observations in the years 2006 and 2007 on the health facilities as well as the caregivers health-seeking itinerary in the Upper East Region. A total unit cost of complicated malaria management is $46.62 out of which, 44.4% is attributed to service cost in the health institutions and 11% to drugs In Ghana, the health institution’s unit cost per complicated malaria case is $74.32 and that per simple case is $3.83. The cost of treatment for complicated malaria case is roughly 90% of monthly household income. The cost of treatment for simple cases averaged $10.20, or about 20% of monthly household income. With this fair knowledge on the cost burden of infant malaria treatment on households and institutions, policy makers, stakeholders and development partners are urged to devote much attention and resources to the control of this dreadful disease especially in the areas of ensuring an effective and efficient National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), enforcing the malaria control initiatives such as Insecticide Treated Nets (ITN), Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), public health education and Intermitted Preventive Treatment in Infants (IPTi) which has now been recommended by WHO. 1University of

Herding behaviour and investment decisions of individuals with fraudulent microfinance institutions in Ghana Abotsi A.K.; Richardson T.E. Access to credit and financial services of sections of the societies in low-income developing countries has led to the proliferation of genuine and fraudulent microfinance institutions in recent times and this has been the subject of intense interest by researchers. This study explores the sociological and psychological factors that influence investment decisions of individuals with microfinance institutions to maximize their economic wellbeing in spite of the high incidence of atrophy of such institutions and fraud. This is an exploratory research which adopted a descriptive-analytic approach in the analysis. In all 165 respondents were purposively selected from five administrative areas in the Brong Ahafo Region in Ghana. The study found that out of the total respondents of 165 who ever engaged in business with microfinance institutions, 119 of them have ever been swindled by microfinance institution. The respondents exhibited herding behaviour in their investment decisions with these fraudulent microfinance institutions. These fraudulent microfinance institutions used interest rate as a conduit to deceive and lure people to save with them. The respondents used bounded rationality in their investment decisions which resulted in the bad investment with these fraudulent microfinance institutions. � International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research.All right reserved.

Value co-creation intention among consumers at the bottom of the pyramid: A study of rural and community banks in Ghana Nusenu A.A.; Xiao W.; Say J.; Opata C.N. We investigated the relationship between consumer satisfaction, trust in firm, interaction, and perceived service quality on value co-creation intention among rural and community bank consumers in Ghana. Participants were a purposive sample of 315 (female = 49. 52%; mean age = 42. 94 years, SD = 14. 47 years). They completed consumer satisfaction, trust in firm, consumer-firm interaction, perceived service quality, and value co-creation intention measures. Structural equation modelling analysis of the data showed that consumer satisfaction strengthens trust in firm, interactions, and value co-creation intention. Further, perceived service quality moderated the relationship between interaction and value co-creation intention. Consumer satisfaction and trust in firm appear to be a resource for consumer-firm interaction and value co-creation intentions with perceived service quality. � 2021 Africa Scholarship Development Enterprize.
