ANALYSIS OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE PERFORMANCE

The Assembly budgeted a total amount of GHȼ 3,558,339.00 but was able to generate GHȼ 1,526,033.21 representing 42.88% in 2010. In 2011, the total approved revenue estimated was GHȼ 3,351,583.15 and an amount of GHȼ 1,937,858.08 representing 57.82% while 2012 had an approved revenue estimate of GH₵ 3,706,659.00 with GH₵1,460,899.42 generated representing 39.41%. In 2013 total revenue of GH₵ 4,433,865.84 was estimated and Assembly was able to generate an amount of GHȼ 2,394,740.00 representing 54.01%.

On the part of expenditure a total amount of GHȼ 3,558,337.00 was approved for spending but GHȼ1,526,033.21 was actually spent representing 42.87% in 2010. GH₵ 3,351,583.15 was the approved expenditure for 2011 and out of this; an amount of GHȼ 1,843,555.24 was spent representing 55.01%. 2012 also had an approved expenditure of GHȼ 3,706,659.00 and GHȼ 1,460,899.42 representing 39.41% was spent. The Assembly in 2013 approved an expenditure of GHȼ 5,571,546.80 and GHȼ2, 723,013.50 spent represents 48.87%.

The implication for the about financial analysis is that the Assembly was able to achieve an average of 48.53% of its projected revenue, this went a long way to attract programmes and projects implementation. Shortfalls of the revenue were basically due to the non-release of Grants especially DACF on time. Serious efforts must be put in place to generate more IGF for development from 2014-2015. Realistic revenue targets must also be set during budgeting.

On the part of expenditure an average of 46.54% was achieved means that most of the programmes and projects were not started at all while those started were not completed on time due to delay in the payments of certificates or activity expenditure.

REASONS FOR THE NON-ACHIEVEMENT OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES i. Unreliable and untimely release of Development Budget (DACF) and Development Partners Funds for project implementation.

ii. Some of the goals and objectives were not achievable within the short period set for the plan. The goals and objectives had long gestation period. iii. The Vastness of the district makes programmes and projects implementation had little impact on the lives of the people. iv. The goals and objectives set were not directly targeted at poverty reduction (unemployment). v. Absence of periodic review of the Development Plan.

PROBLEMS/CONSTRIANTS ENCOUNTERED DURING PLAN IMPLEMENTATION. i. Insufficient and reliable data for planning purposes. ii. Non-functioning of the sub-structures to provide inputs for the plan preparation. iii. High level of expectations from the electorate for service delivery within a short plan period iv. Delay in the release of funds for project implementation v. Too many directives from the ministries as to the use of DACF which affect the Assembly’s focus and vision on development agenda vi. Plan not targeted at direct job and wealth creation but rather mainly on infrastructure provision. vii. Cumbersome procurement process which delays the implementation of physical programmes and projects.

LESSONS LEARNT i. The need for the nation to review the Procurement Act (Act 663) after 4 –years of implementation. ii. Periodic review of the plan to see if the Assembly is on course in its implementation. iii. The Assembly should look for other sources of funding for project implementation other than DACF, DDF and GETFUND. The Assembly should step up its IGF to enable them use some for minor projects execution .Other sources are Public Private Partnership (PPP) iv. The 2014-2017 Development plans should focus also on job/wealth creation for Local Economic Development. v. Decentralised departments should study the plan and implement their programmes and projects in line with the district and national goals and aspirations. vi. Shortfalls in DACF releases greatly affect development projects undertaken by such funding. Revenue Mobilization would have to be stepped up to fill in the gap

vii. The Assembly would focus on the human capacity building which deals with the training of the people to build their capacity. Such training would empower them economically and financially to establish jobs on their own to reduce employment pressure on the formal sector. viii. Operations and maintenance of programmes and projects should be given the needed attention to sustain the investment for a long time. ix. The programmes and projects not implemented in the last plan must be evaluated to ascertain their relevance for inclusion in the next Development Plan. x. Adequate provision must also be made to complete all on-going programmes and projects.

The District lies within Latitude 40” North and 6 degrees 22” North and Longitude 1 degree West and 1 degree 38” West. It is on the Southern part of the region. Other Districts in the region sharing boundaries with it are Obuasi Municipal and Adansi North Districts to the North and North East respectively. The District also shares boundaries with Assin District in the Central Region to the South and to the East by Birim North and South Districts of the Eastern Region. The position of the District in both national and regional context is shown on their respective maps (Fig 1 and 2). The District has a total land representing an area of 899sq.km, which is approximately 4% of the total land area of the Ashanti Region. About 24% (334.5sq km) of this total land area is made up of forest reserves.

2.3.1 Relief and Drainage The land ranges from flat to gentle undulating with average elevation of about 350 metres above sea level. Generally, the District is hilly with several rivers and streams. Major rivers such as Pra, Fum, Muma, Subin, Menso, Subri, Supong, Krodua , Offin and Aprapo are in the District and serve as major drainage channels. Minor streams also drain into the major rivers.

2.3.2 Climate The Climatic condition in the District is generally, favourable with mean monthly temperatures ranging between 26 degrees Celsius and 29 degrees Celsius. February and March are the hottest months of the year. The extensive nature of the forest reserves in the District ensures a very good rainfall distribution pattern, which is characterized by two rainy seasons with peak periods around May – June and October. The average annual rainfall figures are between 160 mm and 180mm with an average of 150 rainy days recorded every year.

2.3.4 Vegetation and Forest Reserves The Adansi South District is within the rain forest belt and it is characterized by moist semi-deciduous forest with thick vegetative cover and growth. In some parts of the District, the natural vegetation is steadily degenerating into secondary forest. Relatively, little virgin forest remains outside the main forest reserves

25 and this condition can be attributed to persistent slash and burn methods as well as the incidence of bush fires in the dry season. Despite these improper environmental practices with their detrimental effects on the vegetation of the District, forest reserves still exist and they cover approximately 188sq.km in the total land area of the District.

The Forestry Services Division of the Forestry Commission continues do its work in the District. Protection of forest reserves, boundary maintenance and inspection, of the following forests reserves is still ongoing; Onuem Nyamebe, Kunsimoa, Cheremoase, Nyamebe Bepo, Afia Shelter Belt, Onuem Bepo, Kototintin, Numia all covering a total perimeter of 188.03 km square. Also contract boundary cleaning, boundary planting, greenbelt maintenance, wildfires/bush fire education, enrichment planting was carried out during the year. The main offence which is illegal felling and sawing of trees such as Wawa, Danta, Edinam, Mahogany, Sapele however continues to hamper the work of the division.

2.3.5 Soil Types Knowledge of soil types in an area is an important pre-requisite for planning since it helps to advise on the type of crops the soil can support. This is particularly true for the District since more than half of the population depend on farming for their livelihood. The Agricultural Extension Department of the District describes the soil as very fertile with a high humus content, which have the capacity to support tree crops such as cocoa, oil palm, cola nuts as well as staples such as cassava, plantain and a variety of vegetables. The types of soils in the District are: a) Juaso – Morso Association These are mainly found in the northern parts of the District. They have been developed over Tarkwaian rocks. They support crops such as cocoa, coffee, citrus, oil palm, maize, cassava and other root crops. b) Swedru – Nsaba Simple Association These are found in the eastern parts of the District, especially around Subriso. They have been developed over granite and associated rocks. They support crops such as Cocoa, oil palm, plantain, cocoyam, cassava and maize. c) Bekwai – Oda Compound Association This association of soil type has been developed over upper and lower Biriman rocks and is found around New Edubiase and Akutreso. They support tree crops such as cocoa, oil palm as well as staples such as cassava, plantain, cocoyam, maize and vegetables. d) Awaham – Kakum - Kyekyerewere Association These are mainly found around Adansi Praso. They have been developed over alluvium rocks. Crops that thrive very well in this soil type include maize, cassava, etc. The various soil types are illustrated on the soil map.

2.3.6 Agricultural Land Use

Out of the total land area of the District, that is 899sq.Km, 60% (802.8sq.km) is under tree and food crop production. About 90% of this 802.8 square kilometers land is cultivated by peasant farmers using the traditional farming implements and methods that is slash and burn and shifting cultivation. The 10% of the arable land area is cultivated by individuals or organizations whose cultivated acreage is larger (16 acres to over 25 acres) than the peasant farmers. However, most of these people also practice the slash and burn system.

The cropping pattern in the District is the mixed cropping systems where one parcel of cleared land contains most, if not all, of the staples produced in the District. Tree crops are also mixed with other crops, especially during the first two years of planting.

2.3.7 Geology and Minerals

Most of the North Western parts of the District lie within the gold belt. Towns such as Akrofuom, Sikaman, and Nyankomase have been identified as having gold and diamond deposits.

2.3.8 Surface Accessibility

Surface accessibility in the District is basically in the form of road network/transport system. It has a first class asphalt road from Amudurase to Adansi Praso on the Cape-Coast – Kumasi trunk road. In addition to this, there are about 176km network of second and 69km third class roads respectively. Footpath or tractor paths are a common feature in the District and most of these foot/tractor paths are motorable during the dry season. However, when the rains set in, due to the numerous streams, these paths become unmotorable.

2.4 CULTURE

Cultural activities in the District are very diverse as a result of the many migrants in the District. There are two main festivals that are celebrated by the people in the District namely, Akwasidae and Afahyea. Since the people are predominantly Akans, Akwasidae is usually celebrated on every 40th day in a year in the District and Afahyea festival is also celebrated from the second week in November to first week in December annually. There is a vibrant cultural troupe in the District that entertains guests during special occasions.

Adansi South District is made up of multi-ethnic communities, inhabited by many of the country’s ethnic groups, including the indigenous Asantes, Ga-Damgbes, Fantis, Ewes, Akwapims, Akims as well as Mole- Dagbani and other ethnic groups from the North. These multi-ethnic settlers have come from far and near to engage in production of cocoa crops which is the principal economic activity of the District. The Asantes constitutes the majority constituting 33 percent.

2.4.1 Religious Affiliation The main religious groups in the District are Christianity, Islam and Traditional Religion. Analysis of religious composition indicates that about 82 percent of the population are Christians while about seven percent and two percent are Islam and Traditionalists respectively.

The data from the 2010 PHC revealed that various forms of religious affiliations exist in the District. These religious affiliations include Catholic, Protestant (Anglican/Lutheran) Pentecostal/Charismatic, Other Christians, Islam and Traditionalist. As presented in Table 1 Catholic, Protestant, Pentecostal and other Christians form the larger Christian group (94,259) of the total population 115,378. Islam represents 6.8 percent, Traditionalists represent 1.6 percent while other religions constitute 0.9 percent. The populations that belong to non-religion however constitute 9.0 percent of the entire District population.

The table further shows that Pentecostal/Charismatic (31.2%) is the highest of the Christian denomination, followed by Protestants (17%) and then Catholics (8.7%) as well as all the others being 24.7. Proportion (6.8%) of Islam faith is much lower in the District than in the entire Ashanti Region (15.2%) and in the country (17.6%).

Moreover all Christian denominations have higher proportion of males than females, except “Other Christians” (28,479), where the proportion of female (25.6%) is higher than male (23.7%). The figure for the males belonging to Islam (7.5%) is also higher than the female (6.0%). In the case of Traditionalist and “Other religion”, the proportion of male and female is 1.6 percent and 0.9 percent respectively).

2.5 SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS

The largest settlement in the District in terms of population is New Edubiase with a population of 19,974. It has most of the facilities indicated in the scalogram analysis. This makes the community occupy the first position in terms of settlement hierarchy. The next settlement of importance in terms of facilities is Akrofuom, which has a population of 10,399. The communities, which follow Akrofuom in terms of settlement hierarchy, are Atobiase, Apagya, Praso, Ataase Nkwanta, Sikaman, Amudruase, Kubi Kwanto, Tweapease, Fenaso Nkwanta, Atwereboana and Subriso.

The rest of the communities have a centrality score below 100. These settlements lack a lot of facilities as indicated in the scalogram analysis. It is worth noting that most of the big communities are found along the main Kumasi to Cape-Coast road. And this shows the importance of good road network in the development of communities, as most of the facilities are located in the communities along the major road.

2.6 HOUSEHOLD SIZE / CHARACTERISTICS

The average household size of the District is about 4.4. This compared with the average household size of 5.2 in 2000 indicates a decline in household size in the District. The predominant household heads are men. It can be seen from Table 8.1 that the total stock of houses in the District is 20,541 comprising 87 percent in the rural areas and 13 percent in the urban. Population per house is the proportion of the total population to the number of houses. It can further be seen that the average household per house for the District is 1.2 and that of rural and urban areas are1.2 and 1.8 respectively. The population per house in the District is 5.5, while that of rural and urban areas are 5.3 and 6.9 respectively.

2.6.1 Economic Status of Population

The 2010 PHC classified the population as economically active and economically inactive population. Economically active population describes population as employed and unemployed. It also takes into consideration the reasons why a population is unemployed. Economically inactive population on the other hand is the population, which can neither be classified as employed nor unemployed. This category of population was either engaged with household chores, full time education, disable/sick or is on pension/ retired, and for that matter did not seek job within seven days preceding the Census Night.

Table 4 and Figure 6 present the population 15years and older by activity status and sex. The total number of the population that is economically active is 52,919. This figure comprises of 26,512 males and 26,407 females. The population is dominated by employed population (97.2%) which is slightly higher for the males (97.6%) compared to females (96.9%). This proportion is also mainly (94.8%) for those who work within seven days preceding Census Night. Majority of those who are unemployed (65.9%) are those seeking work for the first time and available for work comprising 69.0 percent males and 63.5 percent females. Whereas the total population 15years and older that are economically not active is 19.8 percent of the population, proportion of the male is 18.9 percent whiles that of the females is 20.7 percent. The Census outcome also reveals that, the figure for economically not active population is mostly pertaining to those who are in full time education (51.1%).

2.6.2 Rural – Urban Split

During the 2000 population census the rural population was 63,895 representing 79.9 percent of the population. According to the District Data base 2006 the rural population totaled 76,905 representing 78.1% while the urban population was 21,532 representing 21.9%. The Urban population for 2010 is estimated at 36,667 forming 32.5%. The urban population has been increasing since 1996. The 36 indication for development is that social amenities need to be provided for the ever increasing urban population.

2.6.3 Housing Stock It can be seen from Table 8.1 that the total stock of houses in the District is 20,541 comprising 87 percent in the rural areas and 13 percent in the urban.

Population per house is the proportion of the total population to the number of houses. It can further be seen that the average household per house for the District is 1.2 and that of rural and urban areas are 1.2 and 1.8 respectively. The population per house in the District is 5.5, while that of rural and urban areas are 5.3 and 6.9 respectively.

2.7 WATER AND SANITATION

The purpose of good drinking water is to a large extent to minimize the prevalence of water borne diseases among household members. The source of drinking water is important because water borne diseases are common in Ghana and members of households are better off if they have access to good drinking water (Eastern Region PHC report, 2013).

Table 14 and Figure 8.2 present information on main source of drinking water and water for other domestic use, of dwelling unit at the District, regional and national level. The available information from the 2010 PHC reveals that, a greater proportion (50.8%) of the household use Bore- hole/Pump/Tube well as their main source of drinking water. This is also true for both regional and national level. Furthermore, households also derive their drinking water from River/Stream (16.0%) and protected well (15.3%). These followed Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well in highest order. The table further shows that, only few of the households have access to pipe-borne water inside dwelling unit(0.8%) and outside dwelling unit (4.2%). The 2010 Census information also indicates that, 4.3 percent of households drink from Unprotected well and 0.1 percent drinks from Unprotected spring and Dugout/Pond/Lake/Dam/Canal each. Whereas a higher proportion of the urban households use Protected well (37.7%) as their main source of drinking water, the rural households derive their main source of drinking water mainly from Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well (54.7%).

Information on sources of water for other domestic use on the other hand shows that about half of households use Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well (48.7%) for domestic purposes in the District. This is followed by Protected well (18.4%) and River/Stream (17.0%). The main source of water for other domestic use at the regional level is Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well (354,585). It can also be inferred from Table 8.10 that, the largest proportion of the District urban households (81.4%) uses Bore- hole/Pump/Tube well or Protected well as their main source of water for domestic use, while more than half of the rural household (52.3%) derive their main source of water for other domestic use from Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well.

2.8 SERVICES

2.8.1 Tourism

There are a couple of tourist sites identified in the District and some of these include a Birds Sanctuary at Bonkro (White -Necked Picathartes), a Snake Palm Tree at Pra- Birim Aboi, the Nkabom festival which is celebrated every three years by Adansi Chiefs, the confluence of rivers Birim and Pra at Birim Aboye and Hwidiem respectively.

2.8.2 Agro-Based Industry

Small scale agro-based processing activities are carried out in the District. Those involved concentrate their activities on cassava and rice processing, Akpeteshie Distillery and palm oil extraction, honey production.

2.8.3 Financial Institutions

The District capital has four main banks namely the Ghana Commercial Bank, Agricultural Development Bank, the Atobiase Rural Bank and the Adansi Rural Bank. The other rural bank in the District can be found at Atobiase. The banks are highly patronized by cocoa farmers and the few salaried workers. The cocoa farmers are mostly seen at the bank during the cocoa seasons and for the salaried workers during the last week of every month.

There exist quite a good number of Susu collectors and money lenders. Their services are highly patronized due to easy accessibility.

2.8.4 Information, Communication and Technology

Information Communication Technology (ICT) has played transformational roles in the development of economies worldwide. Due to the important of ICT in socio-cultural and economic development, several efforts have been made by the government to enhance ICT in the country. Some of these efforts include the establishment of Community Information Centre (CIC) under ICT4AD programme. This is to spread ICT infrastructure in the communities and to ensure that Ghana and its people fully participate in information age, to enjoy the benefits of emerging information revolution.

This charter therefore explores ICT information on mobile phone ownership, access to computer and internet as well as household ownership of fixed telephone lines. Information on ICT was recorded for persons 12years and older for the purpose of 2010 Census. This is however the first time such questions were asked in national Census.

Apart from the land line telephone service the District also has access to all the other communication mobile service providers namely MTN, Vodafone, TIGO and AIRTEL. It is believed another mobile network would be joining very soon. There is one private internet facility in the District which is at New Edubiase. Due to the pressure on this facility, the few users of internet move to nearby Districts to seek for information when the need arises. The District Assembly however has plans of increasing the provision of this important service in the District.

2.8.4.1 Ownership of Mobile Phones Ghana has experienced a rapid increase in mobile phone penetration and usage in recent times. The use of mobile phones has been an important mode of communication for social and business activities for the majority of Ghanaian since as far back as 2003. Table 18 presents information on mobile phone ownership and internet usage by population 12years and older in the District. The information from Table 5.1 reveals a total of 21,679 mobile phone owners in the District. This is less than a third (29.0%) of the population 12 year and older from which the information on ICTs was collected. Also, 62.2 percent representing the majority of mobile phone owners are male while female owners represent 37.8 percent.

2.8.4.2 Use of Internet Just as mobile phone usage, the use of internet facility as a mode of communication provides varieties of opportunity for business owners as well as public and other private organisations, and even at the individual level. The use of internet cut across population, sex, rural-urban locality and all levels of education, from basic to tertiary. There are as low as 1,046 internet users, representing 1.4 percent of population 12years and older in the District. This is about one (1) out of seventy-four (74) of the referred population.

2.8.4.3 Household Ownership of Fixed Telephone Lines Fixed telephone line refers to a telephone lines connecting a customer’s terminal equipment (e.g telephone set, facsimile machine) to the public switch telephone network. So far as 2010 census is concerned, information on fixed telephone lines was collected at the household level. 2010 PHC recorded a very low fixed telephone lines usage in the District. Only 47 households (0.2%) own a fixed telephone lines. Male headed households (78.7%) own fixed telephone lines while female headed

51 household owners represent 21.3 percent (Table 2.19). The low usage of fixed line is associated with the increasing usage of mobile phones with its conveniences.

2.8.4.5 Household Ownership of Desktop or Laptop Computer Access to information and internet becomes easier with ownership of desktop/laptop computer in modern society. The use of desktop/laptop computer is therefore vital for processing information for both public and private organisations.

Ownership of desktop/laptop computers were examined at the household level during the 2010 PHC, to find out the extent to which household members have access to internet and other forms of social media. As depicted in Table 19, there are as low as 335 households (1.3%) owing desktop/laptop computer in the District. In relation to sex of household head of the households having desktop/laptop computer, the figure for male headed household owing desktop/laptop computer stands at 269 while that of female headed household stands at 66.

2.8.4.6 Postal Service There are two main postal centres in the District. One is in the District capital, New Edubiase and the other one at Akrofuom. The revenue generated by the post centres per month has fallen for some time now due to the high use of mobile phones in the District.

There is however the plan for introducing instant money transfers and Expedited Mails Services in the District hopefully by the end of the year.

2.9 AGRICULTURE

2.9.1 Households in Agriculture Agriculture employs about 78.5% ( 56 %male and female 44 %) of the active population who are engaged in the production of various crops such as; Cocoa, Oil palm, Maize, Cassava, Rice, Cocoyam, Plantain and Vegetables. There is no clear cut distinction between farmers who produce either cash or food crops. Farmers combine food crops, cash crops and rearing of animals e.g. pigs, small ruminants, cattle, local birds in small scale.

Cocoa: Production of cocoa is dominant. It substantially employs greater number of people in the district and thus a determinant in the income distribution in the area.

Oil Palm: Oil palm production is also carried out by most of these farmers and termed as both food and cash crop. Currently a lot of farmers have gone into oil palm production which makes it next to cocoa. The land is fertile and is suitable to oil palm production.

Cassava: Cassava is more widely grown and has comparative advantage over the other food crops. It is sold in the raw form or processed into Gari or ‘Agbelima’ (cassava dough). RTIMP has introduced high yielding varieties (Afisiafi, Bankyehemaa, Abasafitaa, etc) through MoFA.

Plantain: Plantain production is carried out by most farmers and is mostly done as backyard garden than on the field. Plantain is not grown solely in the district. It’s mostly cultivated on the field to shade cocoa seedlings and also during the first year of establishing plantation crops.

Rice: Rice production is on the increase; the undulating nature of the terrain and numerous valley bottoms has given rise to the production of rice. Currently, JICA in collaboration with MOFA are training farmers in the district on sustainable rainfed rice production and have now increased production from 4-8 bags per acre to 30 bags per acre. Rice farmers are now producing good quality grain and rice seed.

Maize: Maize production has potential but not being exploited. Maize is not grown solely in the district as in the Northern sector of Ghana and in the transitional zone hence optimum yield is never realized. Farmers in the district still prefer cultivation of local variety to the improved varieties like Obatampa which by far yields higher than other local varieties. MoFA is encouraging farmers to adopt improve maize variety in order to obtain higher produce compared to the local variety.

Livestock: Majority of the total population are into crop production to the detriment of livestock which is poorly patronized. Farmers in the livestock production are also in crop production. They are engaged in small ruminants like sheep and goats, cattle, pigs and grasscutter. Sheep and goats are on the free range. Low level in livestock production is due to high incidence of diseases and pests associated with the rain forest ecology coupled with the fact that there is only one veterinary officer within the district.

Poultry: There is one large scale farm and two medium scale farms with a total of about 10,000 birds, using deep litter system technology, whilst local birds are on the free range. Table 2.20 below shows a breakdown of farming methods and the average output for different crops cultivated in the District and their output.

2.9.2 Food Security

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of UN, food security is a condition that exist when all people, at all times, have physical and economical access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food preferences for an active healthy life. About 1.3 million people, representing 5 percent of Ghana’s population, are food insecure.

Food security is defined by MoFA as good quality nutritious food hygienically packaged and attractively presented, available in sufficient quantities all year round and located at appropriate places at affordable prices.

2.9.2.1 Effect of Climate Change on Food Security

Over the past 5 years the district has experienced a highly variable and unpredictable climate. Weather predictions have evaded us on several occasions. Currently floods and droughts can occur in the same area within months. This poses a serious threat to food productivity where production is mainly rain fed. It is projected that agricultural production and access to food in many households would be severely affected, if nothing is done about it, food security would seriously be affected and the problem of malnutrition would be exacerbated.

Other possible impact of the climate change on food security in the district will be decrease in yield due to loss of land, uncertainty about what and when to plant, increase in the number of people at risk from hunger and fall of net revenues from crops which will eventually affect growth and income levels of farmers.

Therefore food security programs in the district should therefore consider incorporating climate change adaptation and mitigation aspects in order for farmers to cope with the prevailing increase in the frequency and intensity droughts and floods.

2.9.3 Coping Mechanism

As mentioned above, farmers are not able to produce enough to last throughout the year and also unable to store enough produce for home consumption throughout the year. The crucial question is: how are they able to survive? There are coping strategies adopted by famers during periods of food insecurity.

They reduce the number of meals served each day, reduce the size of meals, eat less preferred foods and sell livestock (goats, pigs, sheep, cattle, and poultry).

Other strategies to sustain food security in district include shifting to less expensive and less preferred foods, borrowing money to buy food, purchasing food on credit, seeking assistance from friends and relatives, and purchasing food from hawkers and vendors.

2.9.4 Measures to ensure food security in the district

MoFA has embarked on various Food Security programs in collaboration with other institutions in the district.

The current Block Farm Program implemented by MoFA was to ensure food security. By this program improved seeds, fertilizer, herbicides and other inputs are provided to farmers who pay the total amount involved in kind or cash after harvesting.

The Program was initiated by the Government to address three (3) main objectives. The objectives include;

 Support farmers to increase production to ensure food security  Generate employment in rural communities especially among the youth  Increase income of small farm households.

The target crops for the program are Rice and Maize which are the main staples and hence increase in the production of these crops offer a sure way of addressing food security issues in the district.

Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in collaboration with MoFA have encouraged farmers in the district to adopt sustainable rainfed lowland rice which has boosted rice production in the district from 8 bags per acre to 30 bags per acre of paddy rice for the past four years.

The district has not set up any storage facilities to ensure food security thus to purchase and preserve excess produce from all farmers in order to reduce post-harvest losses, and to insulate farmers against losses resulting from anticipated increases in production. For that matter, we depend on farmers produce stored in their cribs and imported rice and local maize from higher growing areas like Techiman and Abofour, and Kumasi a sales point.

The district faces food insecurity problem on yams since the area is not conducive for its cultivation and as such, middle women or traders purchase them from Yeji and Techiman into the district.

The insecurity on cassava is mostly experienced 3months after planting the vegetative parts.

2.10 GOVERNANCE

2.10.1 Key Decentralized Departments in the District The Adansi South District had not got the full complement of decentralized departments. The following departments exist to carry out specialized functions.

. Department of Social Welfare and Community Development . Ghana National Fire Service . Forestry Services Division . District Education Service . District Health Service . District Ambulance Service . CHRAJ . National Commission for Civic Education . Electoral Commission . Department of Agriculture . Environmental Health Department . National Disaster Management Organization . Department of Co-operatives . Non-Formal Education Division . Births and Deaths . Ghana Water Company . Physical Planning Department . Information Services Department . Stool Lands

2.10.2 Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)

The following NGOs with their respective functions operate in the District.

Source: SW&CD 2014. 2.10.3 Land Tenure System

The system of land Tenure prevalent in the District is principally the “Abunu” and “Abusa” systems. Whereas in the case of “Abunu”, the farmer shares his produce equally with the land owner or Lander, in the case of the “Abusa”, the land owner takes two-thirds of the farm produce. This system does not serve as motivation for increase productivity on the part of the farmers.

In some instances, the land owner dictates the types of crops to be produced irrespective of the suitability of the land to the crop in question. One possible advantage of the system is the permanence of land holding, settler farmers are allowed to hold their farms for a long period of time, creating a situation of security and permanent settlement in areas like Tweapease, Nkrankese and Menang.

2.10.4 Disaster

The Adansi South District has six disaster management zones namely, Asokwa, Fumso, Praso, Apagya, Akutreso and New Edubiase. Each zone is being manned by two (2) Zonal Coordinators. A District Co-coordinator and two supporting members of staff head the District office. With respect to disaster management at the District level, two main committees are responsible for major management decisions. The committees are District Disaster technical committee and District Disaster management committee.

Though some zones are now under Adansi North District but since the District has no coordinator, zones like Fumso and Asokwa are still under the management of Adansi South District.

2.10.4.1 Rain/Wind Storm

This is one of the most recurring disasters in the District. For instance, between January and December 2005, the District recorded (20) cases in (20) communities namely Birim Aboye, Akroso, Aboabo III etc. The damage caused to personal and physical property of the victims and their dependants runs into several millions of Cedis. The basic cause of this disaster is the absence of trees to serve as wind breaks in the communities.

2.10.4.2 Floods

Flooding in its sense has not been recorded in the District some time now. What the District normally experienced have been pools of stagnant water witnessed after any heavy rainfall in the communities. Though personal property destroyed in times like this are minimal, the damage done to the buildings cannot be under estimated. Indiscriminate situating of physical structures, the nature of the soil and refuse dumps are responsible for this.

2.10.4.3 Domestic Fire

In the year 2002, 2004/2005 seventeen cases were recorded with estimated cost of ¢850,000,000.00. Four cases were received from Adansi Kenya, Edwinase, Obonsu, Anhwiaso, Nyankomase, Akrofuom and Amudurase. The number of cases in this disaster seems insignificant but the cost of damage to personal property was very high. It was only at Amudurase where one of the fire fighters sustained slight burns on the left arm. These cases also came about through indiscriminate handling of marked flames.

2.10.4.4 Natural/Bush Fire

Each year, between January and April, bush fire becomes rampant due to the start of new farming season. The hills opposite Nyankomase are engulfed in smoke leading to fire-outbreak, which destroy farms and other flora. The actual cause is not yet scientifically known. But it has been widely explained that the fire emanates from the rocks on the hill, which sparkle when rolling stones rub one another.

Bush fires caused by individuals have been on the low side. For instance, only three incidences were recorded at Praso, Edwinase, and Adansi Kenya in 2010. This could be attributed to the intensive educational campaign made by NADMO in conjunction with the National Fire Service.

2.10.4.5 Chain Saw Operation

Indiscriminate logging and the unethical use of machines have caused substantial damage to the vegetation in the District. Efforts made to discourage this activity have not been very effective as a result, several wood felted are not cart and therefore, remain at the mercy of termites.

2.10.4.6 Drought

Many rivers and streams in the District dry up few weeks after the rainy season. This is because falling of trees, especially along river courses and on mountains, continues to be a major problem in the District. Water therefore becomes very scarce for both domestic and on-farm activities during greater part of the year.

2.10.4.7 Conflict

As far as conflict is concerned, the District is among the most peaceful Districts in the country, though it is predominantly multi-tribal residence. The most conspicuous hazard in the District is the impasse between stool land lords and the tenant settler farmers on the payment of annual land tribute. There have been occasional isolated cases of conflict between individuals or small groups. The complaints and Arbitration sub-committee of the Assembly or by the NADMO Technical committee however, dispose-off these cases peacefully.

The Adansi South District Assembly Education Directorate seeks to expand and promote access to quality education and effective management at all levels of education through collaboration with Civil Society Organizations and stakeholders. The vision of the Directorate is to effectively improve education management and planning efficiency across all levels. The enrolment level of pupils at the KG level is presented in Table 2.34 below.

PRIVATE Number of Pupils 1,651 Males : 815 Females : 836 No. of Schools 26 No. of Teachers 41 Males : 8 Females: 33 Source: Ghana Education Service, ASDA, 2013. Enrolment at the KG level for the District has more females than the males. This shows a commitment of parents towards girl child education. The number of classrooms however is inadequate to cater for the population of KG pupils. From the KG level the next level for school pupils is primary school. Their enrolment level is presented in Table 2.35 below.

Enrolment at the primary level of education is seen to be much higher than the KG level. This can be attributed to the situation where most children are left at home until they are much older to walk to and back from school on their own.

The enrolment levels at the JHS level are lower than that of the primary level indicating the inability of pupils to continue their education. Others may have also migrated from the District to other areas. The numbers of teachers are also inadequate to cater for the pupils. Additional infrastructure is required to cater for the pupils and help improve their learning conditions. The Senior High School enrolment is detailed in the table 2.37 below.

At the Senior High School level, the number of females is also less than the males. The student population in the public schools far exceeds that of the private school together with the teachers. Enrolment levels are also lower than

67 that recorded at the JHS level thus showing a dropout of students along the educational ladder.

The GPI clearly shows the decrease in the number of females as they climb the educational ladder. Efforts have to be made to help sustain the pupils especially the females so that they can stay in school.

 Subject Grades

The BECE candidates for 2013 wrote the under listed papers. The grades scored by the candidates ranging between aggregates 1-5 are also detailed in the table 2.39.

The Assembly supported GES to sponsor 30 girls to attend annual STMI. A total amount of GHȼ3,900.00 was used to support the programme.

 The School Feeding Programme

The District continues to enjoy the benefits of the school feeding program. For the year 2013, GHȼ374,329.04 was spent on schools on the government’s list. A total number of twelve schools are currently benefiting from the program. These schools are New Edubiase Exp. School, Akrofuom D/A Primary, Kojo Yentumi D/A Primary, Nkontem D/A Primary, Fahiakobio D/A Primary, Wuruyie D/A Primary, Atwereboana D/A Primary, Mprikyire D/A Primary, Mensonso D/A Primary, Menang D/A Primary, Prekese D/A Primary and Ahomahoma D/A Primary Schools.

TRANSITION RATE

The transition rate, which is the proportion of P6 pupils who enter JSS 1 in the year 2003/2004, was 91.4% for the District. By gender, the rate was higher for girls (93.5%) than boys (89.8%). On the whole, the transition rate ranged between 85.5% and 98.4% in the District by circuits.

The data above explains the percentage of 2009 P6 pupils who entered JHS 1 for the year 2010 (transition). The District’s transition rate for P6 and JHs 1 ranges from 69% to 86%. By gender, the rate was higher for both Boys which was 87% and for Girls which was 85%. Grumesa, Mensonso and New Edubiase had 113% boys; 102% girls, 112% boys and 102% girls respectively. This means that students who entered Junior High School were more than those who completed Primary 6 as shown in the data. Some of the main causes of such situations are; some dropouts were re-admitted to those Junior High Schools, and also some other pupils were from different schools but not the supply schools.

Table 2.43 shows Teacher Population of Basic Schools (Public and Private). From the data, the District has a total number of 1,318 Teachers made up of 861 males which is 65% of total teacher population 71 with 457 females making up to 35% of the total teacher population. Pre-school has 274 (i.e. 14%) of teachers, Primary has 651(i.e. 33%) and Junior High School 393 (20%). Currently the District has student population of 39,469 against a total teacher population of 1,318. This implies that the Pupil- Teacher Ratio for the District is therefore 30 students (pupils) to one teacher (30:1) which is far below the National Norm (45:1). This has come about because of the inclusion of the Youth Employment teachers swelling up the total number of teachers in the District. Percentage of Trained teachers forty- six (i.e. 46%) and Pupil-Teacher ratio is 66 pupils to 1 trained teacher (i.e. 66:1). The Directorate is therefore making every effort to improve the above mentioned Ratios for Quality Education in the District. For the Senior High School the data is shown below.

From the data above total teachers for the SHS is 155 made up of 84 (i.e. 54%) males and 31 (i.e. 46%) females. The SHS level is having a total student population of 1,448 against 115 teachers. The SHS PTR is therefore 13:1. The percentage of trained teachers is 56%. This implies that the Pupil-Trained Teacher ratio is 22:1 which is far below the national norm which is 35:1.

2.12 VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS Persons with disability (PWD) have been defined as those who are unable to or are restricted in the performance of specific tasks/ activities due to loss of functions of some part of the body as a result of impairment or malformation (Ghana Statistical Service, 2012). As a result, PWDs face a wide range of life challenges because disability in whatever form or type, can reduce an individual’s ability to function to his/her full potential. Disability can limit an individual’s full participation in a number of activities in life. 87

In an attempt to understand the situation of PWDs as a guide for policy formulation, the Ghana Statistical Service, for the first time, collected specific data on PWDs in the 2010 Population and Housing Census. This chapter discusses the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of PWDs from the data. It describes population with disability, type of disability, distribution by type of locality, disability and activity, and disability, education and literacy.

2.12.1 Population with Disability Generally, there are 3, 633 persons with one form of disability or the other in the District. The number of disable persons in the District (3.1%) is relatively higher than the regional and national figure of 2.6 and 3.0 respectively (Table 6.1). Also there are slightly more males persons (51.8%) with disability than females (48.2%).

2.12.2 Types of Disability Table 6.1 and Figure 6.1 present type of disability with their corresponding shares of the population in the District. The population with some form of disability, visual/sight impairment (36.6%) is the most common disability, followed by physical challenges (23.6%) and emotional problems (16.0%). Visual or sight impairment is also the most common form of disability among both males (35.9%) and females (37.4%).

2.12.3 Distribution by Type of Locality In urban communities, there are 704 persons with disability, representing about 19.4 percent, out of which 320 PWDs are males (3.5%) while 384 are females (3.9%). Persons with sight impairment (42.6%) top the list with 42.6percent, followed by those with emotional problems (24.6%), and physical challenges (23.0%). The lowest proportion is persons with other disability.

On the other hand, there are 2,929 persons with disability, representing 80.6 percent of the rural population. The highest disability rate in the rural communities are persons with visual or sight impairment (35.2%), followed by those with physical challenges (23.8%) and speech disorder (16.1%) while the lowest are persons with intellectual malfunctioning (12.3%), as shown in Table 2.55.

2.12.4 Disability and Activity Status The population 15 years and older is 65,974 of which 4.5% are persons with some form of disability while 95.5% are without disability.

The horizontal analysis of Table 6.2 suggests that, about 7 in ten (1,949) disable persons constituting 66.3 percent are economically active, while 33.7 percent (992) are economically not active. Also, there are 1,905 persons with disability that are employed, representing 97.7%, compared to 2.3 percent of unemployed (44). Moreover, a greater percentage of disable persons is by sight (40.0%), followed by physical and hearing (23.6 and 14.1 respectively). 365 persons, representing 12.4 percent, are also disable with speech in the District. Additionally, almost all persons disable by sight (98.2%), physical (96.8%), hearing (98.2%), including those with speech disability (98.8%) are employed in the District. In contrast, 33.9, 50.2, 32.8 and 29.9 percent of these form of disabilities, respectively, are economically not active.

In terms of sex, there are more disabled males (1,525) representing 51.9 percent than their female counterparts, constituting 7.5 percent (1,416). Also, there are greater percentage of disable males that are employed (1,037) representing 97.6 percent than females (97.9%). From Table 6.2, it can also be construed that, the number of unemployed disable males (30.4%) and females (37.4%) that are not available for work (not economically active) are greater than the disable males (2.4%) and females (2.1%) that are unemployed.

2.12.5 Disability, Education and Literacy Table 6.3 presents the population three years and older with disability by sex, disability type and level of education. Among persons with disability, about 41 percent (41.1%) had never attended school while over 58 percent (58.9%) had obtained some level of education of which 48 percent had basic (Primary, Middle/JSS/JHS) education. Among persons with hearing impairments, 51.4 percent had 91 never attended school, while, out of those who had any form of education, primary school (20.4) is the highest level majority had attended, followed by middle/JSS/JHS (20.0%).

Only 32.1 percent of males with disabilities had never attended school, and for those who had some form of education, 40 percent of males with sight and emotional problems had attended middle/JSS/JHS which is their highest level. On the other hand, a little more than half (50.8%) of females with various type of disabilities had never been to school. Among those with sight impairments, JSS/JHS is the highest level (24.0%) attended by those who had attended school.

2.13 GENDER

Accessibility to land which is one of the basic determinants of economic opportunities favors men due to cultural factors. Inheritance of property in the family usually favors the male folk.

Participation of women in decision making especially at the Unit, Area Council levels and District Assembly is not encouraging. Women are usually relegated to the background. Here again cultural factors are among some of the reasons for preventing participation of women.

The parity of boys and girls in schools is however encouraging at the Primary and JHS levels of the educational ladder. However, the same cannot be said of the SHS and Tertiary levels.

The implication of these is that more women should be encouraged to take up political appointments at all levels of decision making. Girl-Child education at the SHS and Tertiary levels must also be promoted.

2.14 POPULATION

Every population has its important elements such as the size, composition and structure. The statistics from these indicators thus provide the bases for socio-economic planning at District, regional and nation levels. The fertility, mortality and migration trends affect the population dynamics.

2.14.1 Population Size and Distribution The total population for the District according to the 2010 Population and Housing Census is 115,378 comprising 58,039 (50.3%) males and 57,339 (49.7) females. This gives a sex ratio (i.e. number of

92 males to 100 females), of 101.2 (Table 2.1).More so, the share of the population by type of locality, reveals that 18,966 (16.4%) live in the urban areas as against 96,412 (83.6%) who reside in the rural area. The dependency ratio for the District is 90.2 comprising 92.7 for males and 87.8 for females. Urban and rural localities have their age-dependency ratio as 81.5 and 92.0 respectively.

2.14.2 Age-Sex Structure Figure 2.1 shows the relationship between the age structure and the population distribution by sex.

The results show that Adansi South District has a youthful population (Table 58 and Figure 2.1), consisting of a large proportion (15.6%) of children under 15 years, and a small proportion (4.6%) of elderly persons (65 years and older). The age structure of the District’s population is basically shaped by the effects of high fertility and decreasing mortality rate.

CHAPTER SIX

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

MONITORING AND EVALUATION ARRANGEMENT FOR DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2010 – 2013)

INTRODUCTION

Planning is not an end in itself but only means of achieving a specific objective. The main objective of the planning process is the improvement in the well-being of the people, not the planning document. District Assemblies, as planning authorities are responsible not only for the formulation of plans but also for their implementation, monitoring and evaluation. One instrument which can be used to measure the success of a project/programme is the monitoring and evaluation system (M&E).

MONITORING

Monitoring is the continuous or periodic review of the implementation of an activity to ensure that input deliveries, work schedules, targeted outputs and other required actions are proceeding according to plan. Monitoring as a management instrument, pre-supposes that development programmes must be managed as planned. Monitoring measures, records progress of implementation and focuses on the compliance with the plan. It is therefore a continuous task during the whole life cycle of a programme. The monitoring process requires the timely collection and analysis of data during the analysis, planning and implementation of the District Three-year Medium Term (2010 – 2013) Development Plan (DMTDP).

Monitoring is important in achieving efficient and effective project or programme performance by providing feedback to project management. This enables management to improve operational plans and take timely corrective action in case of shortfalls and constraints.

At the planning level, monitoring process under the 3-year Medium Term Development Plan would compare the planned time schedules, organizational structure, and financial provisions against actual achievement.

While monitoring is correct oriented, taking the logical framework (log frame) as the core element, four major areas would be measured and analyzed, based on the indicators which were developed in the planning process. 169

1. The target set in the objectively verifiable indicators (OVI) which measure the achievement of the programme objective (that is, goal, purpose and outputs.) In this case, direct and indirect impact indicators reflect that the extent of which projects or programmes in the 3-year medium term development plan is impacting on the lives of the target population or beneficiaries would be measured.

2. The important assumption which is incorporated into a set of indicators would be continuously observed ad a measure of external conditions. For the purpose of monitoring development programme, the assumptions upon which plans have been based and the objectives to be achieved must be clearly spelt out. The assumptions are very important in monitoring projects because they serve as the pivot around which development programmes from which project emanate. Assumptions are the necessary conditions that must prevail for projects and programmes to be implemented successfully. Hence, an assumption must be continuously monitored to test their validity.

3. Operational indicators have been developed to measure the control of resources, personnel, financial disbursements, expenditure, incomes and time.

4. Performance and efficiency indicator have been developed to indicate whether activities have been completed. Monitoring assesses the extent to which the activities are being implemented according to schedule.

5. The means of verification (MOV) would indicate where data can be gathered in a cost-effective way.

The monitoring system devised for the District’s Medium Term Development Plan seeks to examine compliance with the plan. Simple monitoring techniques like the use of charts indicating time table, responsibility matrix, financial schedules, completion dates and when monitoring should take place are mainstreamed in the monitoring arrangements.

There are development programmes or projects implemented by line ministries, non-governmental organizations, para-statal and the private sector which would be monitored to avert duplication of efforts.

Monitoring the implementation of the District Medium term plan based on the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy 1(GPRS 1) would be done through the use of poverty monitory systems. These would facilitate the tracking of projected periods to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of wealth and growth inducing pro-pro intervention for beneficiary communities during the planning process.

Participatory monitoring would be used to record the periodically keep track of progress towards objectives on a day-to-day, week-to-week and monthly basis. Participatory monitoring would be locally tailored in recording information which meets local needs and aspirations. Monitoring tools selected primary address cultural, social, economic factors operating in the community. 170

Pending the release of monitoring and evaluation guidelines from the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), a tentative monitoring format has been devised.

The monitoring and evaluation or programmes and projects for the four year planned period (2014-2017) would be undertaken by the District Monitoring and Evaluation Team. The composition of the team is:

The District Co-coordinating Director

The District Planning Officer

The District Budget Officer

The District Works Engineer

The District Finance Officer

The Chairman Works Sub-committee

The Relevant Heads of the Departments e.g. Agriculture, Education, and Health etc.

EVALUATION

Evaluation determines the causes of deviations from the plan, the initial effects, (planned/unplanned) as well as the impact the programme has had, e.g., the effect on the target group and many others. Evaluation provides the planner with the explanation of why things have happened the way they have, thereby giving the beneficiary communities the necessary information to rectify the anomaly.

Participatory evaluation encourages and reflects on what has happened in the past in order to make decisions about the future. By evaluation, beneficiary communities learn about things that have worked well and vice versa and through the process, it becomes more likely that corrective measures will be implemented. The effectiveness of participatory evaluation lies in the understanding of the community to agree on the purpose of the evaluation. The objectives of the project, as well as the expected outputs provide a forum for changes and adjustments if the need arises in order to achieve desired results. In the preparation of the three-year medium term development plan,

172 community evaluation teams are envisaged to play active roles in information gathering, and analysis to ensure that recommendations from evaluations reach the intended beneficiaries. Decisions made and feedback is incorporated into the project or activities, to ensure re-planning where necessary.

Terminal, ex-ante and ex-post evaluation would be undertaken to ensure whether the intended result has been achieved or not as well as the reasons for failure. Terminal evaluation would be undertaken immediately the programme is completed, while “ex-post” evaluation would be undertaken after some years after completion of programme. Ex-post evaluation would be undertaken to analyse the goals and objective of the project to determine the impact which the development plan has had on the target population. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to a larger extent could be seen as involving different planning processes, such as data collection and analysis, documentation, assessment and interpretation, decision making and remedial action. Participatory Impact Monitoring and Evaluation System (PIMES) would be used to analyse and establish correlation between poverty focused intervention and impact on livelihood.

FINANCIAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGY/ PLAN

DISSEMINATION OF THE DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN (DMTDP) 2014 –2017

This section looks at the dissemination of the DMTDP (2014 –2017) to the relevant stakeholders and decision makers. This is very important as knowing and sharing the contents with the key stakeholders – Traditional Authority, Opinion Leaders, Religious Leaders, Sub-District Structures and Civil Society would ensure accountability and transparency. The tendency is that once accountability and transparency become the bedrock of governance. It would galvanize their support and commitment towards the implementation of the interventions contained in the Plan.

In summary, Adansi South District Assembly will implement its communication strategy in order to:  disseminate its programmes, projects, activities and Annual Progress Reports to inform/create awareness  create awareness on the roles and expectations of the stakeholders in the implementation of the District programmes to improve their living conditions for the period 2014-2017  promote dialogue and generate feedback on the performance of the District  promote access and manage expectations of the public concerning the services of the District

The dissemination strategies of the District Planning and Coordinating Unit (DPCU) would include;

 Public Hearing of the DMTDP at the District Level  Organize meetings and workshops with the Sub-District Structures  Meetings with Traditional Rulers, Religious Bodies, Communities and Civil Society Organizations.  Produce and distribute 20 copies of the District Medium Term Development Plan 2014 –2017 to the National Development Planning Commission, Regional Planning and Coordinating Unit (RPCU), District Directors of Departments and others.  Organise Quarterly, Annual, Mid-Term and End of Term performance review workshops and disseminate outcomes to all stakeholders.
