Elsie Assan's research focuses on how farming communities in Ghana and West Africa cope with and adapt to climate change, including gender-specific impacts, food security, and the shift from agriculture toward informal mining as a livelihood strategy. Additional work examines the social and environmental effects of small-scale mining, farm safety practices among cocoa farmers, and methods for evaluating community-based and non-formal education programs. The overall body of work bridges agricultural resilience, natural resource management, and program evaluation methodology.
