The primary objective of this article is
to present nugormesese as an indigenous mechanism of social
capital in Buem-Kator, a farming community on the Ghana side
of the Ghana-Togo border area. The concept of social capital
will be minimally defined to refer to the capability of
social norms and customs to hold members of a group together
by effectively setting and facilitating the terms of their
relationships. Unlike physical capital (machineries, bank
accounts, etc.) and human capital (knowledge, skills, etc),
social capital is a relational factor or social resource
that sustainably facilitates collective action for achieving
mutually beneficial ends.
