Samuel Kobina Annim is a lecturer (on study-leave) in Economics and Microfinance at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Cape Coast. He graduated with BA. Social Sciences (Economics) from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana in 1999, and obtained MPhil Economics from the University of Ghana in 2002. In 2002, Annim gained a dual appointment as a part-time lecturer at the Methodist University and a Senior Research Assistant at the University of Cape Coast; a position he held prior to becoming a lecturer in 2003. Following his research engagement in Microfinance, he was offered a scholarship to follow a training programme in Microfinance in Turin, Italy. With the support of the Faculty this opportunity spurred on his enthusiasm as the then microfinance co-ordinator to institutionalize microfinance training and services. He has published in health economics, poverty and microfinance issues in Developing Countries. Currently, he is a PhD Student at the University of Manchester, UK. His thesis provides an empirical assessment of microfinance as a complement to the new institutional economics argument through an estimation of its role from a poverty and financial intermediation perspective
