Dr. F. Akosua Agyemang is a distinguished social work scholar and gerontologist whose career has been shaped by a deep commitment to addressing the challenges of ageing populations in Ghana and across Africa. With over 37 years of experience in academia and practice, she has emerged as a leading voice in developing culturally responsive, community-centred approaches to elder care and long-term care systems that honour traditional values while embracing innovative solutions. Currently serving as Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Social Work and Centre for Ageing Studies, Dr. Agyemang holds a PhD in Social Work and has dedicated her research to understanding the complex interplay between ageing, environmental health, social support systems, and sustainable models of long-term care delivery. Her current research portfolio spans three major initiatives that exemplify her commitment to evidence-based policy development: the Multimorbidity and Healthy Ageing Project, which examines medication adherence and quality of life among Ghana’s ageing population; the Environmental Contributors to Health Outcomes (ECHO-MIND) project, investigating how environmental exposures affect neurological health in older adults; and innovative school feeding programs that support intergenerational well-being in Northern Ghana. What sets Dr. Agyemang apart is her ability to bridge academic research with direct community action. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she initiated and coordinated relief efforts that distributed over 5,000 food packages to vulnerable older adults across multiple Ghanaian communities, demonstrating how gerontological social work and long-term care frameworks can respond effectively to public health crises. Since 2009, she has organised caregiving workshops across various regions in Ghana, building capacity among both formal and informal caregivers while advocating for the rights and dignity of the elderly. Her contributions to advancing long-term care policy have influenced national conversations on the integration of home- and community-based services, caregiver empowerment, and culturally grounded models of institutional care. Her scholarly contributions include over 30 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters that explore themes ranging from the indigenisation of eldercare and the development of long-term care systems to the evolving family dynamics affecting older adults in contemporary Ghana. Dr. Agyemang's work has gained international recognition, leading to guest lecturer positions at prestigious institutions, including Jönköping University's Institute of Gerontology in Sweden and North Carolina State University. She currently serves as Country Representative for the Caregivers Empowerment Network-Africa and sits on Ghana’s National Technical Committee on Ageing. Beyond her professional achievements, Dr. Agyemang embodies the principle of ubuntu—the interconnectedness of humanity—through her philanthropic work, which supports elderly and vulnerable individuals across Ghana's underserved communities. Her approach to ageing research and practice reflects a profound understanding that effective long-term care must be rooted in relationships, community solidarity, and respect for the wisdom and dignity of older adults.
