| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Projects in the Shai Osudoku District in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The study was guided by three specific objectives, which were to identify the effects of CSR in the Shai Osudoku District, determine how corporate organizations respond to the needs of the community and to identify the barriers to effective implementation of CSR projects in the Shai Osudoku District. The study employed a mixed method approach. Both questionnaire and interview guide were designed to collect data from Opinion Leaders in (5) selected communities in the Shai Osudoku District. Staff of the CRS Department of Golden Exotics Limited were also included in the study. The data gathered was analyzed using SPSS version 23. The analysis employed descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies, percentages, mean, minimum, maximum and standard deviations. The study found that the implementation of CSR by Golden Exotics Limited has positive impact on the communities. This includes improved socio-economic livelihood, increased access to potable water, increased access to basic school infrastructure, teaching and learning materials and improved healthcare delivery. The study again revealed that Golden Exotics Limited selects a community for CSR project through needs assessment and request from the community. The study also found that the major barriers to effective implementation of CSR projects in the Shai Osudoku District were land litigation, inadequate support from the communities and land documentation issues. The study recommends that Golden Exotics Limited should strengthen their effort in liaising with community authorities to identify areas or opportunities available to them to better the lives of the people through the provision of some social amenities. This will go a long way to improve the general living standards of the people | en_US |
