Prof. Mary Esther Kropp Dakubu (Language Centre, and Institute of African Studies, Legon) has been the co-coordinator in Legon throughout the whole period, whereas Prof. Lars Hellan, NTNU, has been the Norwegian coordinator throughout the whole period. The original initiative to the project was taken by (then Head of Department) Prof. Lawrence Boadi and Prof. Lars Hellan.
