This collection brings together Kusaal, Akan, Dagbani and Dagaare folktales from Ghana, documented through research projects on African oral traditions, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, popular culture and sustainable development. The collection seeks to preserve and make accessible Indigenous oral narratives while highlighting their continuing relevance to contemporary social, cultural and environmental issues.

The collection began with Kusaal folktales documented in the Kusaug traditional area of Ghana's Upper East Region under the BANGA-Africa Project III Seed Research Grant, Documenting the Folktales of the Kusaas through Stories and Illustrations. The project was supported by the University of Ghana's BANGA-Africa Project, with funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

The collection has subsequently expanded through other research initiatives, including the Sustainable Environmental Education and Climate Change Activism through Popular Culture (SEECAP) Project, also with support from the University of Ghana's BANGA- Africa Team Grant Project and the Africa-UniNet project on Sustainable gender equality, diversity and social inclusion education through oral narratives. These projects have broadened the collection to include oral narratives from other Ghanaian communities and languages and have strengthened its focus on the connections among oral tradition, education, gender, environmental sustainability, cultural knowledge and community life.

The folktales are organised thematically under Education, Gender and Environment. Together, they constitute a growing digital archive of African oral heritage and demonstrate how Indigenous narratives can contribute to cultural preservation, education, social transformation and sustainable development.
