  • The Perception of Farmers in Akyem Adukrom, Eastern Region of Ghana, on Using Reclaimed Mined-Out Areas for Crop Production

    The Perception of Farmers in Akyem Adukrom, Eastern Region of Ghana, on Using Reclaimed Mined-Out Areas for Crop Production

    Land Restoration Training Programme Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland Final project 2014 THE PERCEPTION OF FARMERS IN AKYEM ADUKROM, EASTERN REGION OF GHANA, ON USING RECLAIMED MINED-OUT AREAS FOR CROP PRODUCTION Irene Jemilatu Yaro Environmental Protection Agency P.O Box KF 725, Koforidua – Eastern Region, Ghana. [email protected] Supervisor Thorunn Petursdottir Soil Conservation Service of Iceland (SCSI) [email protected] ABSTRACT The gold mining sector in Ghana contributes substantially to the socio-economic development of the country. Unfortunately, gold mining also causes severe environmental and social problems such as ecosystem degradation that affects the livelihoods of farmers. According to Ghana’s laws, mining companies are obliged to reclaim mined-out areas and make them safe for crop production. Currently, over 1 million ha of mined land have been reclaimed and handed back to the previous land users. However, some farmers seem reluctant to cultivate these reclaimed areas. To get an insight in how successful these reclamation activities are in practice, 20 farmers that are currently farming on reclaimed mined-out areas by the gold mine company “Managing Gods’ Resources Limited” in Akyem Adukrom were interviewed about their experience and perception of cultivating the same area before mining and after reclamation and their involvement in the reclamation process. The result strongly indicated that even though in a few cases some crops seemed to be doing better on reclaimed areas than before mining, the reclaimed areas are not as fertile and productive as they were before mining. However, 16 farmers stated that reclaimed areas were as fertile as they were before mining and would recommend the cultivation of such lands to other farmers.

  • Government Denies Existence of Political Prisoners

    Government Denies Existence of Political Prisoners

    August 12, 1991 Ghana Government Denies Existence of Political Prisoners Minister Says Detainees "Safer" in Custody Introduction Ghana's ruling Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), chaired by Flt. Lt. Jerry Rawlings, has claimed -- for the third time in as many years -- that Ghana has no political prisoners. In a radio interview on May 31, Secretary for Foreign Affairs Obed Asamoah, argued that some detainees -- whom he characterized as "subversives" -- are being kept in custody for their own good. He added that if they were brought to trial, they would be convicted and executed. The first claim is deliberately misleading. Africa Watch knows of the existence of a number of detainees incarcerated in Ghana, though it is difficult to estimate the exact number in the light of government denials. One group -- of ten detainees -- was moved to different prisons on the same day -- January 14, 1991. One member of this group is known to have been held without charge or trial since November 1982. Their detentions have never been officially explained. The minister's argument that detainees are better protected in custody amounts to a manifest presumption of guilt, and makes it unlikely that any detainee in Ghana can now receive a fair trial. The government's denial is also contradicted by the publication on May 30 of a list of 76 "political prisoners and other detainees" by the opposition Movement for Freedom and Justice (MFJ). According to the MFJ's information at the time, none of the 76 had been charged or tried. The PNDC Secretary for the Interior, Nana Akuoku Sarpong, has characterized the list as a mixture of "lies and half truths," calculated to discredit the government.

    Political Party Organisation and Women's Empowerment

    Final report Political party organisation and women’s empowerment A field experiment in Ghana Nahomi Ichino Noah L. Nathan December 2017 When citing this paper, please use the title and the following reference number: S-33403-GHA-1 Political Party Organization and Women's Empowerment: A Field Experiment in Ghana∗ Nahomi Ichinoyand Noah L. Nathanz December 31, 2017 Gender gaps in participation and representation are common in new democracies, both at the elite level and at the grassroots. We investigate efforts to close the grassroots gender gap in rural Ghana, a patronage-based democracy in which a dense network of political party branches provides the main avenue for local participation. We report results from a randomized field experiment to address norms against women's participation and encourage women's participa- tion ahead of Ghana's December 2016 elections. The treatment is a large community meeting presided over by the traditional chief, known locally as a durbar. We find null results. The treat- ment was hampered in part by its incomplete implementation, including by local political party leaders who may have feared an electorally-risky association with a controversial social message. The study emphasizes the importance of social norms in explaining gender gaps in grassroots politics in new democracies and contributes new evidence on the limitations of common civic education interventions used in the developing world. ∗Special tanks to Johnson Opoku, Samuel Asare Akuamoah, and the staff of the National Commission of Civic Education (NCCE) for their partnership, as well as to Santiago S´anchez Guiu, Helen Habib and IPA-Ghana.

    Multiplicity of Voices in Community Development Through Radio in Fanteakwa District, Ghana

    Multiplicity of Voices in Community Development through Radio in Fanteakwa District, Ghana Manfred K. Asuman Geopat Consultancy Ghana Africanus L. Diedong (Corresponding Author) Department of African and General Studies, University for Development Studies, Wa Campus, Ghana [email protected] DOI//http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjds.v16i2.9 ABSTRACT The study examines community radio as a channel for development through people’s participation in development activities in the Fanteakwa District of Ghana. The study argues that participation of people is necessary for development. The study employed the concept of participatory development communication and the empowerment theory to help understand the role of community radio in development. Mixed method research design was used for the study. Data was collected through survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling and multi-stage sampling techniques were used to select respondents. It was found that participation is highest amongst people whose preferred channel of contribution to development initiatives is Radio Listenership Clubs. Though community radio station is serving the community, more needs to be done to properly integrate it into the lives of the people. Another finding was that community radio is not necessarily owned by the community, but can be the result of an individual’s entrepreneurial effort.I t is concluded that the integration of participatory approaches in radio programming and ownership is relevant because they are more people-centred and can be sustainable. A legislation on community broadcasting is recommended in order to define the role of individual entrepreneurs andNGO ’s in establishing community radio stations.

Railways contribute to social enthusiasm in addition to market competitiveness by conveying millions of consumers as well as personnel to urban places and villages around the world. All over the world countries are recognizing the important role that railways contribute to their economy. In the 1950s, Ghana’s railway transport was considered to be one of the best on the continent of Africa. The railway was a major transport connecting to the major cities of the country. Railway transport was very efficient, reliable, affordable and safe. The most important aspect of it was how it refurbished the local economy of traders and the conveyance of agricultural products from the production source to the market centers. This scholarly, therefore, examined the politics of railway transportation and development in Ghana.
