It has a number of twenty- three (23) volunteers comprising of eight (8) females and fifteen (15) males. This group is engaged in fish farming. The other disaster volunteer groups are at the following communities;  Breman Essiam  Etsi-Sonkwa  Enyan Maim  Enyan Nkodwo  Enyan Abeadze  Ajumako Osedzi  Ajumako Mando

The disaster awareness clubs are;  Obonster Basic School Awareness club  Akotogua Methodist JHS Disaster Awareness club  Enyan Maim Methodist Primary Disaster Awareness club

These schools are very active and are playing important roles in tree planting as wind breaks within their respective communities.

During the year under review, the secretariat recorded relief items such as roofing sheets, cement, plastic bowls, mattresses, blankest, buckets, used clothing and food items to support affected persons during disasters.

2.16 CLIMATIC CHANGE MANAGEMENT The climatic change management project was carried out by Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP) in collaboration with the District Assembly and two beneficiary communities. Under this project, two communities provided degradable land of i5 hectares each and labour of 50 persons. After the land was properly documented, half of the land was planted with 800 seedlings of coconut each at Abasaa and Essiam. This year 2017, there was increase in the number of coconut planted especially at Abaasa community with 400 seedlings. The programme currently at the two farms are doing well and is forecast to end in next year February, 2018 during which assessment will be done and completely handed over to the community with no funding from the GSOP secretariat. However, the two projects was coupled with some challenges as beetles destroyed some of the coconut seedlings planted. The two projects aside the coconut planted, also added some crops such as maize, pepper and plantain. It is interesting to know that due to the hard work of the farmers and how good the farms are doing, the District this year received some dignitaries from South Africa and some members of the Parliament of Namibia visiting the two climate change GSOP projects at Abaasa and Essiam to learn from the experience.

2.17 LIVELIHOOD EMPOWERMENT AGAINST POVERTY (LEAP) The department of social welfare as part of its duties is implementing the livelihood empowerment against poverty (LEAP) programmes in 32 communities in the District. They include; Eduyaw, Assasan,

The programme is aimed at targeting the vulnerable and the excluded in society which comprise the aged 65 and above, orphans 0-17 years and persons with severe disabilities. The programme seeks to reduce poverty through cash transfers to beneficiary households where payment is made on any other month with a minimum amount of sixty-four Ghana Cedis and three pesewas (GH¢64.03) and a maximum of one hundred and seven Ghana Cedis and three pesewas (GH¢107.03). Payment to beneficiaries is done by biometric payment. In 2017, every household beneficiary received cash transfers as at the end of the 51st payment.

2.18 REGISTRATION AND DATA COLLECTION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITY There was directive from the Office of Common Fund Secretariat to collect data on all persons with disability. This was carried out in September, 2017 and is still on-going to cover new cases. Transport is provided and paid by the secretariat.

2.19 DISTRICT GRAND FESTIVAL (AKWAMBOKESE) A colourful durbar of chiefs was held at Abaasa pump and pageantry on Saturday, 28th October, 2017 to climax the grand celebration of the 2017 Akwambokese festival with Nana Otsibu IV, the Omanhene of Abaasa Traditional Area as host and under the Chairmanship of Obrimpon Yarfoo from Gomoa Traditional Council. The Regional Minister Hon. Kwamena Dancan was the guest of honor. The District Chief Executive attended all the other Akwambo festivals organized at Techiman, Bisease, Denkyira, Essiam, Enyan-Maim among others. He talked about the five (5) priority development areas that government intends to provide to the people of Ghana and urged the people of the District to take advantage of government programmes. The five priority areas he highlighted include; the Free Education policy, Security, Health service delivery, Sanitation, the One-District- One-Factory projects which he indicated that the most communities in the District have lands available which are properly documented for the start of the project.

4.3 REVENUE GENERATION AND EXPENDITURE The revenue performance of all revenue sources indicates that as at December, 2017, the Assembly had received GH¢3,785,819.66 which represents 43.0% of the budgeted amount of GH¢8,800,486.26. The variance GH¢5,014,666.6 was as a result of delay in the release of funds such as GSOP, DACF and DDF. However, the Assembly made use of the percentages that were released in the course of the year. The expenditure performance for the District is as described above. A total of GH¢3,576,615.86 was spent out of the total amount received. However, the amount spent constitutes 40.64% of the expected amount which was GH¢8,800,486.26. The Assembly however, paid particular attention to the Mandatory projects and ensured that the needs of the people in the District were attended. 40 | P a g e

CHAPTER FIVE 5.0 MAJOR CONSTRAINTS/STRATEGIES

5.1 Major Constraints/Challenges/Key Development Problems There were no significant changes in the major challenges facing the Assembly and these are as follows: 1. There was over whelming demand from the citizens for the provision of these social amenities at levels often beyond the resources of the Assembly. 2. Delays in releasing central government funds (DACF and GSOP) meant for development projects and programmes have not only retarded the execution but increased their costs. 3. The A.E.E. District Assembly continues to struggle with low local revenue generation. 4. The continued allegiance of decentralized departments in the district to their Regional and National Heads was seriously affecting decentralization and integration of these departments. 5. Chieftaincy dispute in two communities in the District was hampering the smooth administration of these communities and adjourning areas. 6. One major concern affecting socio-economic development is the declining communal spirit in most of the communities in the District. This was due to the non-function of unit committees. 7. The District is also facing both residential and office accommodation. The current office is old and inadequate to accommodate the staff. 8. The roads to the hinterlands are in deplorable states. 9. There were growing cases of land disputes between the Assembly and individual land owners even though the communities had willingly donated these lands.

5.2 STRATEGIES/WAY FORWARD Below is a summary of some of the strategies that were carried out in the last half of 2017;

. Strengthen DPCU for effective Monitoring and Evaluation. . Expansion of educational infrastructure. . Provision of teaching and learning materials. . Improvement in Health infrastructure. . Provision of bore holes and hand-dug wells. . Rehabilitation of broken down boreholes and hand dug wells. . Provision of refuse containers for selected communities and points. . Improving the infrastructural and institutional capacity of the Assembly and other decentralized structures. . Strengthening of the Town/Area Councils through Capacity building of the Area Council staff and members for the Town/Area Council and provision of logistics. . Encouraging grassroots participation in governance including decision-making and revenue mobilization. . Reducing revenue leakages. . Promotion of constant interaction among the various stakeholders in the decentralized development process. . Extension of electricity to more communities and increasing the voltage. . Promotion of ICT in schools, major communities and DA staff.
