  1. Also, on the 27th of June, Two in house researchers in the persons of Ms. Barbara Andoh and Dennis Asare, both members of IMANI’s ‘Centre for the Study Of Energy And Natural Resources’ delivered a presentation and report launch of a paper titled: “The Effects of Upstream Gas Contracting on Electricity Tariffs and Inclusive Growth-The Case of the Sankofa-Gye-Nyame Gas Project”.
