Drawing upon an interdisciplinary background, Afua's research focuses on children’s rights and social and cultural norms; parent-child relations and the implications for children’s wellbeing and rights; the impact of historical developments and more recent social changes on constructions of childhood and child rearing practices; and children’s participatory rights with a focus on trying to move beyond voice. Much of this research has concentrated on Ghana and Nigeria and has received external funding from a number of sources. Specifically, out of the 10 research and networking projects she has managed as Principal Investigator, eight have been funded by external bodies.
