PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

1. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DISTRICT 1.1 Location and Size The Sagnerigu Municipal Assembly was re-created by a legislative instrument, LI 2272 in 2018 as a Municipality.

Figure1.1 Map of the Sagnarigu Municipal Assembly

The Sagnarigu Municipality is located in the central part of the Northern Region of Ghana. It falls between Longitudes 0057” N and 00 57” W and Latitudes 9016” N and 9034” N. The Municipality has an estimated total land size of 114. 29km2. It shares boundaries to the North with Savelugu municipality, to the East with Nanton District Assembly to the South and East with Tamale Metropolitan Assembly, to the West with Tolon District, and to North-West with Kumbungu District.

1. POPULATION STRUCTURE It has a total population of 148,099 (PHC, 2010). Expressed in percentage as 51% males and 49% females.

2. VISION A safe Healthy Environment with Equal Opportunities and Range of Choices for Citizens

3. MISSION The Municipal Assembly exists to mobilise physical and financial resources towards the Provision of Quality Socio-Economic Services in a safe Lawful Environment to Enhance the Quality of Life of the Citizens.

4. GOALS A safe Healthy Environment with Equal Opportunities and Range of Choices for Citizens

5. CORE FUNCTIONS

The core functions of the Sagnarigu Municipal Assembly are outlined below

 Execute approved development plans for the municipality.  Guide, encourage and support sub-district local government bodies, public agencies and local communities to perform their roles in the execution of approved development plans;  Initiate and encourage joint participation with other persons or bodies to execute approved development plans 5

 Promote or encourage other persons or bodies to undertake projects under approved development plans  Monitor the execution of projects under approved development plans and assess and evaluate their impact on the people's development, the local, and district and national economy.  Co-ordinate, integrate and harmonize the execution of programmes and projects under approved development plans for the district and other development programmes promoted or carried out by ministries, departments, public corporations and other statutory bodies and non-governmental organisations in the Municipality

6. DISTRICT ECONOMY

a. AGRICULTURE More than 50% of the working population in the Municipality are into agriculture and its related activities. Significant populations are also engaged in manufacturing, commercial, and service sectors.

The people practice subsistence farming with only a few engaged in commercial agriculture, usually in mango and rice cultivation. The main crops are cereals such as millet, maize, sorghum, groundnuts, vegetables, cassava, potatoes and rice. The rest are groundnut, cowpea, yam and cotton. Animal rearing plays a secondary role to crop farming in the district. Types of animals reared include; cattle, sheep, goat and poultry.

b. MARKET CENTER The Municipality has no well development market. It has only satellite markets with the biggest markets found in the Tamale Metropolis

c. ROAD NETWORK The major passenger transport services in the Municipality are taxi cabs and Tricycle popularly called Yellow Yellow while goods are mainly conveyed by tricycles commonly called ‘motor kings.’ With the relative proximity to Tamale, long-distance transport services, even though not found in the Municipality are not far from the people. The major problem with regard to transportation in the Municipality is poor road network. 6

Many roads in the Municipality are highly deplorable and therefore need improvements. Also, there is the need to open up more roads and culverts to improve the stock of good roads in the Municipality. There is no traffic congestion and most of the farming and peri-urban communities are linked to the marketing centres by feeder roads. The availability of access roads linking farming communities is an incentive to farmers since it reduces post-harvest losses.

d. EDUCATION The Municipality is the hub of educational institutions in the region. It has a total of 205 basic schools, 4 SHS, 2 Colleges of Education, 1 Technical University, Graduate Schools of UDS and 2 Health Institutions.

e. HEALTH The Municipality has a good health system with 20 functional facilities.

f. WATER AND SANITATION The sanitation situation in the Municipality is appalling. Regarding solid Waste management, many households do not have temporal Waste collection containers. Houses are also far from available dump sites. As a result, many houses have small damp sites where solid Waste is dumped and burnt periodically. Liquid Waste is indiscriminately disposed. The Waste Water drainage system in the district is mainly of natural gutters created by running Water. Sewer from bath houses and domestic chores is mainly disposed indiscriminately. This practice breeds mosquitoes in the community.

Many communities in the Municipality enjoy good Water supply from the Dalun and the Nawuni Water Treatment Plants. The main Water system in the urban neighborhoods is pipe borne Water which is rationed and managed by the Ghana Water Company Limited in Tamale. The distribution of pipe borne Water is challenged with old pipelines and high elevations. The availability of clean/treated Water presents an opportunity for Water bottling companies to take advantage of the stable Water supply and ready market in the Municipality and neighboring Tamale Metropolis. This is evidenced by the large number of sachet Water producing firms in the Municipality.

Water sources in the rural communities are mainly mechanised and pump boreholes, wells, dams and dug-outs. Some of the point sources in the rural communities are dysfunctional whilst others have low yields. Moreover, in the dry season, livestock usually compete with human at the non-point sources.

g. ENERGY

The Sagnarigu Municipality enjoys electricity supply from the national grid with about 82% of the communities being connected to it. Supply of electricity has been fairly stable, except that there have been periods of intermittent supply and power fluctuations due to faulty lines, natural or other human practices. The stable electricity supply is a potential for large scale industrial development.

7. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2019 In fulfilment of part of the mandate of the Sagnerigu Municipal Assembly as expressed in the Local Governance Act 2016 (Act, 936). The Municipality has provided the following to its citizens to improve their socio-economic lives:
