ThesisAboagyewaa And Augustine Group of CompaniesArticleIntroducing the Human Library Concept as a Tool to Mitigate Work and Household Stress among Working Mothers at UENRMost women experience some form of stress at some point in their
lives. However, these stress levels are exacerbated when the woman
becomes both a mother and a career woman. The study explored how
the human library concept can be used as a tool to mitigate work and
household stress among working mothers at the University of Energy
and Natural Resources. The study adopted the qualitative research
approach. 15 out of 92 mothers of the Senior Staff of Universities
of Ghana (SSAUoG) at UENR were purposively sampled. The findings
revealed that majority of the working mothers feel stressed in combining
work roles and domestic roles. To help mitigate the stress levels, the
mothers saw a solution in interacting with each other and sharing their
knowledge and experiences which is what the human library stands
for. Hence, employers who expect mothers to deliver excellently at
their assigned duties must employ the human library concept as a tool
to mitigate stress among it's working mothers.Working PaperAnti-Sexual Harassment PolicyWorking PaperStatutesWorking PaperStrategic Plan 2016-2026 (Abridged Version)The Strategic plan provides a framework for the realisation of institutional goals and objectives. It proposes the introduction of
new programmes and establishment of campuses, in line with the multi-campus mandate of the institution, in a logical and
chronological manner. The plan responds to stakeholders’ expectations for top class tertiary education, in the light of weak
financial and other challenges on student enrolment and programme quality, inadequate logistical and support services as well
as weak relationship of tertiary institutions with employers of labour and absence of entrepreneurial development skills in core
programmes.
Broad thematic areas that formed the basis of the Strategic Plan include Human Resource Development; Teaching, Learning
and Research Excellence; Physical infrastructure Development; Internationalization; Quality Assurance; Information
Communication Technology; Environmental Safety; Maintenance and Sanitation; Ancillary Services; Financial Resource
Mobilization; and Governance and Leadership. A major component of the plan is the financial requirements and the strategies
for meeting these strategic objectives.
The Plan is split into three phases (immediate 2016 - 2020, medium 2020 - 2023 and final 2023 - 2026) and provides clearly
attainable goals and measurable indicators with time frames and responsible actors.
The ultimate aim of the Plan is to raise the level of the University to achieve its vision and mission in a cost-effective and proactive
manner. The support of all sections of the University from students, Junior Staff to the Council is assumed and should be seen as
paramount to the achievement of the vision and mission of a young University tasked with generating, advancing and applying
knowledge in energy and natural resources sciences.Technical ReportVice Chancellor's Report to the 10th CongregationThis report presents a detailed account of the activities, achievements and challenges of
the University of Energy and Natural Resources for the 2024/2025 academic year. It brings
together the work of the various Schools, Directorates, Centres, Offices, and Units and
reflects the collective effort that continues to drive the University’s growth.
The period under review was marked by steady progress across academic, research,
administrative and infrastructural fronts. Key initiatives were advanced and the University
strengthened internal systems that support teaching, learning and service delivery. The
commitment of staff and students ensured that academic work proceeded smoothly, even
as the University navigated the realities of limited resources and a growing mandate.
The University also deepened its collaboration with local and international partners,
expanded research activities and pursued capacity-building efforts that aligned with our
strategic direction. These engagements remain essential as we work toward becoming a
leading institution in energy and natural resources education.
This report highlights the milestones achieved during the year, including improvements
in quality assurance processes, the expansion of academic programmes, enhanced
internationalisation efforts and the strengthening of administrative structures. Together,
these developments provide a clear picture of our progress and the opportunities ahead.
I extend my appreciation to all staff whose dedication and teamwork made these
accomplishments possible. Their contribution remains at the heart of the University’s
mission and continuous advancement.
