EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy II represents comprehensive policies to support growth and poverty reduction in the country. The National Development Planning Commission developed the Medium Term National Development Policy Framework (2010-2013) to guide development within the planned period. Since the level of poverty differs from district to district there was the need for each district to prepare its own programmes to respond to the objectives set out in the framework. The National Development Planning Commission in collaboration with the Regional Coordinating Council organized series of workshops for key staff of the District Assemblies to build their capacities to enable them prepare their Development Plans that will respond to the needs of the poor. The key staff that attended the workshops formed a Task Force that facilitated the preparation of the document. The preparation of the document has been participatory. The formulation of the document is based on consultations with a broad segment of society including Community-Based Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, Town and Area Councils, Civil Society, Decentralized Departments and traditional authorities. The problem analysis of the Ho West District has led to the identification of numerous problems which accounted for the low level of development in the District. This warranted the formulation of development goals and objectives which are envisaged to be achieved by the end of the Medium Term Development Plan from 2014- 2017. These goals and objectives have been set in line with the seven thematic areas of the National Medium-Term Development Policy Framework 2014-2017. In addition, policies have been formulated to highlight the vision for the District and create the enabling environment within which the plan would be operationalized. Specific strategies have been identified, and are expected to be used to achieve the objectives leading to the attainment of the ultimate goal. In estimating the projected population for the planned period, the current population growth rate of 2.5% is used. The projected population is on the underlying assumptions guiding this projection are: 1. Net Migration is constant

2. Birth and death rates are constant 3. Proportions of age cohorts will remain constant 4. Growth rate of 2.5% will be constant throughout the planned period Population Projection for the Period 2014 -2017 YEAR MALE % FEMALE % TOTAL

2010 45,361 48 49,239 52 94,600 2014 51,254 48 55,742 52 107,196 2015 52,757 48 57,153 52 109,910 2016 54,093 48 58,599 52 112,692 2017 55,462 48 60,083 52 115,545 Source: DPCU, HWDA, 2014 Projections of social needs such as education in terms of enrolment, teacher requirements, classroom requirements, health also in terms of health facility requirements and personnel, water and sanitation and housing and energy. currently the Kindergarten have a backlog of 8 trained teachers . It can also be seen that the district will need a total of 180trained teachers for the KG, 517 for the primary and 460 for JHS to effectively deliver the job throughout the planned period. It is also interesting to note that the SHS did not require any more teachers for the period. Providing training support for all untrained teachers in the district through the UTDBE system will help reduce the burden of high teacher deficit in the district.

It is projected that the District will require one (1) hospital by 2017 to help adequately serve the people. In the case of Health post/clinics/CHPS, forty seven (47) more will be needed by 2017 to help provide services to the people.

Currently, the District has 90 Nurses with no Doctor at all. There is therefore the need for at least five Doctors within the plan period to help serve the populace in the District per the UN standard. The District needs a total of 120 nurses to adequately render health services for the people throughout the planned period.

The pursuance of the various medium term objectives over the planned period (2014-2017) is estimated at Thirteen Billion, Three Hundred and Ninety two thousand, three hundred and Sixteen Ghana Cedis (GH₵ 13,392,316.00). Due to the District key priority of developing its human resources in every aspect, a total of Nine Billion, Five hundred and thirty three thousand Five hundred Ghana cedis (GH₵ 9,533,500.00) representing 71.2% of the total budget within the planned period has been allotted for human development, productivity and employment. This is followed by infrastructure and human settlement development which is allocated 16.8% of the budget. These sectors are to see a major uplift during the planned period which will also serve as a catalyst for the development of other sectors of the local economy.

A total amount of Three Billion, Two Hundred and Eighty Four Thousand, Five Hundred Ghana cedis (GH₵ 3,284,500.00) has been earmarked for implementation of 2014 programmes and projects. Out of this, 51.09% of this amounts have been allotted for Human Development, Productivity and Employment, to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of the sub- structures, 15.07% of the budget have been committed to Transparent and Accountable Governance with over 70% of the funds allocated to that thematic area directed to development and strengthen of the sub-substructures to make them operationally vibrant.

Subsequently the second year of the implementation of the Plan, the District has assigned Eight Billion, Three Hundred and Eighty Four Thousand, Five Hundred and Fifty Ghana cedis (GH₵ 8,384,550.00) for the execution of its programmes and projects. Out of this (GH₵ 4,040,850.00 ) constituting 48.19% has been earmarked for Human Development, Productivity and Employment, whiles ( GH₵ 1,285.000.00 ) representing 15.33% has been reserved for infrastructure, energy and Human Settlement Development. This point to the fact that the District held human resource development as a key priority that could trigger off development of other sectors within the local economy.

Further attention is also directed towards social intervention programmes with much emphasis geared towards skills development of People with Disability (PWD’s ) to improve upon their quality of lives.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 PROFILE/CURRENT SITUATION/BASELINE 1.1 Review of 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan In this section of the plan, the 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan is reviewed based on the themes outlined in the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II) to see the extent to which its implementation has gone. In doing this, the objectives of the various thematic areas covered by the plan are compared with activities planned and the status of their implementation. The status of a project could be that it is completed, ongoing, or not implemented at all. This is expected to provide lessons for the preparation and implementation of the 2014-2017 Medium Term Development Plan for the District.

1.2 Priorities for Private Sector Competitiveness Under the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II), this thematic area deals with agriculture, industry, commerce, service and District fiscal management.

The review in this area reveals a generally poor performance. Revenue mobilization efforts have been very poor, and especially, in the area of Internally Generated Funds. The Assembly has been heavily dependent on the District Assembly Common Fund, and other forms of Central government transfers such as the HIPC Funds, as well as donor agencies for its activities.

1.3 Extent of Implementation The Assembly in its 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan formulated series of projects under this thematic area. All the projects under this thematic area were aimed at improving the revenue base of the Assembly, create employment opportunities agriculture, commerce, industry and the service sectors. The table below contains a list of the projects and their level of implementation.

1.5 Extent of Project Implementation The projects planned for the education sub-sector were geared towards the enhancement of academic work in schools. They include the construction of school blocks, ICT resource centres, and accommodation for teachers.

Projects designed for the health sub-sector were aimed at strengthening the capacity of health personnel, construction of health facilities, checking the spread of HIV/AIDS, and controlling the incidence of malaria.

The projects designed under water and sanitation sub-sector were geared towards educating the public and some relevant stakeholders on good sanitary practices and the provision water and sanitation facilities to the people. Projects outlined for this sub-sector were intended to ensure the rehabilitation of government staff houses, and promotion of appropriate technology and materials in housing construction in the district.

The level of implementation under the human resource development was found to be encouraging, as compared to the other sectors in the district. The impressive performance under this thematic area in terms of project implementation was due largely to the intervention of the Urban Poverty Reduction Project (UPRP) in the district.

1.6 Transparent and Accountable Governance Transparent and accountable Governance is dependent upon the efficient and decentralized management of public policy in which people are empowered to participate in, and influence the process of decision making on issues that affect their lives. Participatory decision making on poverty reduction and issues of sustainable growth of the economy is therefore critical. First and foremost there is the need for legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks, which promote and sustain the accountability of government business and machinery through public scrutiny of civil society

15 organizations. Therefore, most of the objectives of this thematic area were mainly designed to enhance the institutional capacity of the district and enable the various departments to deliver on their mandate.

1.7 Lessons learnt during implementation of MTDP (2010-2013) During the planned period (2010-2013), some achievements were recorded, particularly in the areas of Education, Health, Water and Sanitation. Significantly, very little investments were made in economic, tourism and spatial development. Thus, while attention was focused on infrastructural development, the economic development component suffered considerably. It appears the requisite enabling environment for the private sector led growth in economic development has still not reached a level to make the necessary impact.

Adequate attention was not paid to the monitoring of the implementation of the MTDP which led to poor level of activities in the plan. It is important to strengthen and resource the DPCU in order to track the implementation of the Plan. The Monitoring and Evaluation Plan for the implementation of the Plan should be adhered to.

The implementation of the MTDP was largely affected by the enormous deductions at source made from the District Assemblies’ Common Fund by the Administrator of the Fund and cuts in financial support to the other key departments over the period.

Revenues generated locally were basically used for administrative purposes and an insignificant portion used for capital investment

1.8 SITUATION ANALYSIS / DISTRICT PROFILE Fig 1

Ho West District

1.8.1 Vegetation Ho West District falls into two main types of Vegetation zones, these are the moist Semi- deciduous forest which mostly covers the hills in the District and savannah woodland. The District is endowed with several tree species for construction and commercial uses such as wawa, mahogany among others.

1.8.2 Soils There are several soil types in the District. These are; Forest Soil which includes forest ochrosols, lethosols and intergrades soil found in the mountainous and wetter areas in the District.

The forest soil supports perennial crops such as Cocoa, Oil Palm, Coffee, Avocado, Plantain and Banana while the Savanna Soil supports produce like; maize, cassava, yams, groundnuts, legumes and variety of vegetables.

1.8.3 Relief and Drainage The general relief of the District falls into two main parts: mountainous and lowland areas. The mountainous areas are mostly to the North and North-east which are part of Togo Ranges and have heights between 183metres – 853 metres. The notable areas are Awudome Stretch in the South-West to Avatime and Ashanti Kpoeta in the North-East. The lowland areas are to the South of the district and have heights between 60metres - 152 metres. The topography is relatively steep and imposes rapid run-offs during the rainy seasons and call for bitumen surface roads in those areas as permanent solution. The general drainage pattern is southwards and dominated by rivers like Tsawe (Alabo) and Kalakpa, which eventually flow into the lower Volta or Avu Lagoon. Despite the numerous tributaries which serve the district, their flow during the dry seasons is much reduced and practically cease in some of their courses. The rivers therefore do not provide all year round dependable source of water supply to the communities they serve. The climate and vegetation of the district gives clear indication to the type of produce that could be grown. With abundance of arable land this should be considered as an

21 investment destination for commercial farming and animal rearing. The rivers could also be tapped for irrigation purposes to support all year round farming.

1.8.4 Surface Accessibility Over the past years, efforts have been made to improve upon the transportation network within the district through the construction and rehabilitation of feeder roads in the district. As at 2008, the district could boast of one first class road linking the district to Ho covering a distance of over 22 km.

It is expected that the construction of more feeder roads will open up the rural communities which produce the bulk of the food in the district and eventually boost agricultural production. There is also on-going rehabilitation works on some roads to make them motorable.

The road sector in the district is not without problems. Most of the feeder roads are still not in good shape. Some of these roads are often rendered unmotorable during the rainy season. In addition, more farm communities are yet to be made accessible through the construction of feeder roads.

1.9.0 Population Characteristics The population of the District has its own unique features. It has always experienced growth in numbers over the years and has a large youthful population which is relatively female dominant.

1.9.1 Population Size and Growth Rates The population size, structure and distribution of Ho West District provided by 2010 PHC shows a total population of the District as 94,600.This is made up of 45,361 males (48%) and 49,239 females(52 %) .

Majority (89.1%) of the population in the District lives in the rural areas compared to 10.9 percent in the urban areas. This means that the District is mostly rural with its attendant socio- economic challenges of providing for the people basic social amenities such as potable water, good schools and good health facilities among others.

The District population structure has a broad base of the younger population and a narrow apex of the older population. With increasing age, the age-sex structure looks slightly thinner for the males than for the females, indicating that at older ages, the proportion of males is lower than that of females. There are more males than females for the age groups 0-19 years. Larger proportion of the population in the District are found in 0-19 years indicating that the population in the District has the potential to grow for a considerable number of years.

The District dependency ratio is quite higher at about 82 dependents (child and old age) for every 100 people working. The dependency ratio for the urban localities is lower (76.3) compare to that of the rural areas (82.6).

This has implications for the economic development of the District. Social infrastructure such as education and health care facilities need to be provided for the human resource development of the District.

(2010 Population and Housing, Ghana Statistical Service)

1.9.2 Age - Sex Structure According to the 2010 population census, the District has a relatively large female population compared to that of male.

Table 1.8: Male – Female Split Area Male % Female % Ho West District 45,361 48.0 49,239 52.0 Volta Region 1,019,398 48.1 1,098,854 51.9 National 12,024,845 48.8 12,633,978 51.2 Source: 2010 Population and Housing Census. In terms of age structure, the District has a large youthful population. The two cohorts that contains most of the people are the 0-14 group and 15 –64 group

1.9.3 Sex ratio The sex ratio for the District is 92.1. This means that for every 10 females in the population there are nine males. The sex ratio is higher for males, from age 0 to 19 years and progressively reduces from age 20 to 99 and older years.

1.9.4 Dependency Ratios The dependency ratio is one of the key indicators of socio-economic development. The District dependency ratio is quite higher at about 82 dependents (child and old age) for every 100 people working compared to the regional average of 81 dependents (child and old age) for every 100 people. The dependency ratio for the urban localities is lower (76.3) compare to that of the rural areas (82.6). Again, the dependency ratio is likely to be high among the males (86.2) than females (78).

1.9.5 Rural/Urban Split The population of the District is basically rural. About 89.1% of the people reside in the rural areas. The remaining 10.9% of the people can be found in only three main towns of 24 the District namely Tsito, Anyirawase and Kpedze. Apart from these three towns, the other settlements have their population figures below 5000.

The total population of Ho West is 94,600 according to the 2010 population and housing census. The urban population comprising three towns in the District is 10,301 being 10.9% while the rural population is 84,299 being 89.1%. The average household size in the District is 4.0 persons which is lower than the regional and national average household’s sizes of 4.3 and 4.5 respectively.

1.10.0 TRADITIONAL SET-UP

1.10.1 Chieftaincy There are three Traditional Councils and sixteen traditional areas in the District. These three councils collaborate in promoting the development of the District. Various communities have their Chiefs who in turn are responsible to Paramount Chiefs of their respective traditional Councils. The harmonious co-existence between the chiefs and people between the various traditional areas is reinforce by the similar cultural heritage their share. This brings about unity and togetherness among them which could promote collaboration in development and business.

1.10.2 Festivals The traditional areas are endowed with some cultural practices and festival. The Yam Festival for instance is practiced by the people of the Awudometraditional area theKimini festival for the chiefs and people of Avatime. Traditional drums and dances such as Adabatram, Zigi, Borborbor and Zagada are also enjoyed by the people in the District. This is a rich cultural heritage which could be given needed impetus for tourism development.

1.11.0 Household Characteristics Figure 8.1 shows the distribution of housing units by locality. There are 22,346 houses in the district. Out of this, 20,190 houses representing (90.4%) are located in the rural areas, whiles 2,156 (9.6%) are in the urban areas.

Table 8.1 also indicates that, the average households per house stood at 1.1 which compares quite favourably with the regional figure of 1.2 although it is lower than the national figure of 1.6. Population per house which is 4.2 persons is lower than regional and national figures of 5.2 and 7.1 respectively. The data further, depicts that, the average household size of 4.0 is lower than the regional and national figures of 4.2 and 4.4 respectively. This implies that relatively fewer people live in a house in the district as compared with the region and the country as a whole. In terms of locality, t, the average household per house of 1.3 and population per house of 4.8 in urban areas are respectively higher in the urban localities than the rural localities. The rural areas records 1.0 and 4.2 respectively for average households per house and population per house. It is however interesting to note that average household size in the rural areas 4.0 is quite high as compared to the urban localities 3.8. This presupposes that there are fewer more people living in a house in the rural areas than the urban areas.

1.11.1 Poverty levels The incidence of poverty in Ghana is assessed at two levels: an Upper Level and Extreme Lower Level. The Upper Poverty line in Ghana refers to incomes of up to GH¢900.00 a year or GH¢75.00 a month. The extreme poor are people with incomes below GH¢70.00 a year or GH¢58.00 a month. The latest statistics on poverty estimates that about 40% of the Ghanaian population has incomes below the upper poverty line; while about 27% of the population has incomes below the extreme poverty line.

Based on these cut-off points it has been estimated that 14% of the District population are poor whilst 59% are extremely poor. The findings corroborate the fact that poverty in

Ghana is a rural phenomenon with the rural areas accounting for more than 70% of the poor. In terms of economic activity, poverty in the Ho West is by far highest among food crop farmers.

1.12.0 Economic characteristics The potential work force of every district is derived from its adult population that is available to work (aged 15 years to 64 years ).The economically not active persons were those who did not work and were not seeking for work. The category included homemakers, full time students, retired persons, the disabled and persons who were unable to work because of their age or ill-health. Table 4.1 shows the economic activity status of the population 15 years and older in the District. The economically active population is (69.5%) of which (95.9%) are employed and (4.1%) are unemployed.

With regards to male female activity status, the proportion of economically active male is (70.7%) of which (96.5%) are employed and (3.5%) unemployed, whiles that for the female economically active population is (68.6%) with (95.4%) employed whiles (4.6%) are unemployed.

Further analysis reveals that, the economically not active population is (30.5%) with those in full time education recording the highest percentage of (45.6%) and others recording the lowest of 4.5 percent. The proportion of male who are economically not active (29.3%) is marginally lower than females ((31.4%). Out of the economically not active group, the proportion of males who are in full time education and are therefore economically not active (59.4%) is almost twice that of females (34.7%) in full time education. In the district, 16.7% of the economically not active population are too old or young to work and (25%) of economically not active females are engage in home duties (household chores) whiles only (8%) of males did the same.

Out of total households of 23,875 in the District, 17,559 representing (73.5%) are engaged in agriculture in one form of agriculture or the other. This implies that only (26.5%) of households are not engaged in agriculture activities. It is also evident that out of the (73.5%) of households engaged in agriculture, (88.7%) are found in the rural localities whiles the remaining (11.3%) are in urban localities.

1.13.0 Education

1.13.1 Literacy and Education

Education is essential for the development of the requisite human resources needed for accelerated socio-economic development of the society. It is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to fully develop individual capacities for societal well- being. There is a relationship between education, human resource development and economic growth (United Nations Development Programme, 2011).

In the 2010 census, literacy was defined as the ability to read and write a simple statement with understanding. It is an indicator of the extent to which societal knowledge can be transmitted from generation to generation in written form. Thus, literacy is important for the development of the individual and society. The 2010 Population and Housing Census collected information from persons aged 11 years and older on literacy in three languages; Ghanaian languages, English (the official language), and French.

85.5 percent of people eleven years and older are literate while 14.1 percent are not literate in Ho West District. A greater proportion of males (91.5%) than females (80.9%) are literate. Similarly, more females (19.1%) than males (8.5%) are not literate.

1.13.2 School Infrastructure and Utilities The mere existence of schools is a key determinant of access to education. The District has 80 primary schools, 49 Junior High Schools (JHS), 77 kindergartens , 8 Senior Secondary Schools (SSS) and 1 Teachers Training College. In terms of location, Primary schools are the most widely distributed educational facilities in the District. Most of the communities have access to a primary school and a Junior High School. The infrastructure of most of the primary schools especially in the rural areas in the are in a dilapidated state. Most primary schools are found in make- shift structures or under

29 pitched pavilions because of the unavailability of adequate accommodation facilities. Although, all the JHS and SSS have well-constructed and maintained buildings, not a single one of them has a workshop to facilitate technical trainings for pupils. Furthermore, there are no libraries for the JHS pupils.

Table 1.10 Category of schools S/N TYPE OF INSTITUTION NUMBER 1 College of Education 1 2 Senior High Schools 8 3 Junior High School 49 4 Primary School 80 5 Kindergarten 77 Source: Ghana Education Service, Ho West District Poor sanitary facilities also pose a serious problem to most schools in the District, in both the urban and rural areas, only few primary schools and JHS have access to toilets and urinals. All SSS´s in the Senior high Schools have access to potable water facilities either in the form of a borehole or hand pump. Presently, majority of the existing basic schools do not have electricity. The inadequacy of office space, accommodation, and staff common room for teachers is also a matter of concern in the District.

Despite the efforts made in the establishment of schools and the provision of school infrastructure more still needs to be done to improve access to education in the District. A lot more has to be done to improve the infrastructure of the existing schools to enable them deliver quality education.

1.13.3 Teacher – Pupil Ratio The teacher-pupil ratio is an indicator used to assess the adequacy of teachers in relation to pupils. The current teacher-pupil ratio in the public schools in the District is far below that of the national ratios.

Table 1.11: Teacher – Pupil Ratio Level National Ho West District Kindergarten 1:30 1:19 Primary 1:35 1:19 JHS 1:24 1:10 SHS 1:20 1:12 Source: Ghana Education Service, Ho West District.

These numbers appear manageable and could enhance the attention given to pupils and students. This is envisaged to make the classroom more conducive for learning as teachers would have ample time to address the individual academic problems of pupils and students.

1.14.0 HEALTH Good health is critical to socio-economic development. This section looks at the general framework under which health services are delivered in the District. It concerns itself with the type(s) and distribution of health facilities, major diseases as well as on-going programmes and projects in the health sector.

1.14.1 Health Facilities The Ho West District is endowed with 20 health facilities of various category of which one is private clinic (Gisela Memorial Clinic, Abutia Kpota).

1.14.3 Malaria Control Activities As part of the approaches to control malaria in the district, the National Malaria Control Programme had assisted the municipality with funds from Global Fund for Malaria Control. The following activities were carried out successfully  The District Health Management Team was able to conduct several monitoring and facilitative supervisory visits to all the health facilities implementing the NAMDP.

1.14.4 Challenges in Health Delivery The delivery of health services in the District is beset with a number of challenges ranging from inadequate professional staff, inadequate transport facilities, and inadequate residential and office accommodation to inadequate financial resources. The District has few medical professional to serve a population of about 94.600. The Nurse – Patient ratio is 1:2.205. There is also very little opportunity for upgrading skills of health staff. The health outfit has only one pick-up vehicles for the District Health Directorate. All the other facilities do not have vehicles for their operations. A few motorbikes are available but are subject to frequent breakdowns due to long usage. Staff accommodation is insufficient and in most cases the available premises have functionally deteriorated. Financial resources are meager and cannot meet their huge operational expenditure. There are generally no proper incentives for staff working in very difficult environment.

The following are some of the numerous constraints that exist in the District. 1. Lack of potable water at some health facilities 2. Poor road network hence the frequent break down of vehicles and motorbike 3. Inadequate accommodation for health staff 4. Lack of toilet facilities at certain health centres 5. Inadequate and obsolete equipment 6. Infestation of termites in some health facilities 7. Inadequate motorbikes and vaccine refrigerators

1.15.0 Water and Sanitation The current water delivery system in the District is a serious development challenge that requires an urgent intervention especially in the rural areas. Majority of the people in the rural communities do not have access to reliable potable water. Boreholes constitute the major potable water sources in the rural areas.

Table 1.24: Major Water Sources in the District Source of Water Location Status Pipe System Tsito, and Kpedze Some households are not served Dam (small) Borehole Rural communities In use Mechanized Borehole Rural communities In use Well Scattered Some are not in use Others (River) In use Source: District Water and Sanitation Team 2013

1.15.1 Water Provision and Management The provision and management of potable water has not been an easy task to the Assembly. The Assembly is currently faced with a number of challenges in its quest to make water accessible to the people. The challenges range from human to natural factors: . Most water sources dry-up in the dry season, compelling people in those areas to revert to drinking from unwholesome sources, which make them vulnerable to water related diseases. . The boreholes breakdown constantly as a result of excessive pressure coupled with the inability of communities to raise enough money for replacement and general maintenance.

. Even though wells appear to be the major source of water, they are mostly left unprotected. As a result, run-offs trickle down into such unprotected wells making them unsafe for human consumption. . For economic reasons, most consumers of the pipe system in the District have serious difficulties in paying their water bills. This adversely affects the operation and management of the facility. In an effort to improve upon people’s access to potable water, the Assembly has collaborated with a number of development partners in the provision of potable water in the District. These partners include the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA). Community ownership and management is also being promoted to enhance the sustainability of existing water facilities. Communities that have benefited from some form of water infrastructure, especially boreholes are being trained and provided with basic tools and equipment to undertake regular servicing and maintenance of their water facilities.

1.15.2 Sanitation and Waste Management Waste management in the District is relatively better. The disposals of both solid and liquid waste are carried out quite desirable in the District.

Most communities in then District do not also have any proper drainage system. The inadequacy of proper household drains has led to the accumulation of stagnant water with offensive smells in and around residential areas and public places in the rural areas.

1.16.0 Agriculture Ghanaian economy is regarded as an agrarian due to the number of population engaged in the sector. The District has about 74% of its population employed in the agricultural sector. Agricultural sector has and continues to be the largest employer sector of the Ghanaian economy and the District as a whole since independence. Agriculture plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of the Region and the District for that matter.

A household is classified as an agricultural household if at least one of its members engages in agricultural production even if not earning from agricultural activity alone. Out of total households of 23,875 in the District, 17,559 representing (73.5%) are engaged in agriculture in one form of agriculture or the other. This implies that only (26.5%) of households are not engaged in agriculture activities. It is also evident that out of the (73.5%) of households engaged in agriculture, (88.7%) are found in the rural localities whiles the remaining (11.3%) are in urban localities.

The average acreage cultivated ranges between 4-6 acres for all crops. Despite its importance in the District’s economy, much of the agricultural potentials in the District remain unutilized. For instance, out of a total of 62,261 hectares of arable land, only 23,167.6 hectares is currently utilized. The District’s irrigation potential also remains untouched. Nothing concrete has been done to develop irrigation potential that have been discovered in the District. The table below shows Agric support facilities in the District.

1.16.1 Crop Production The soils in the area favour the production of variety of crops. Currently, crops grown in commercial quantities in the District include cocoa, plantain, yam, cassava, maize, rice okra and pepper. The District is particularly famous in the production of maize, cassava, rice and plantain.

1.16.2 Livestock and Poultry Production Livestock production is one of the commercial agricultural activities in the District. Unlike crop production, livestock production is quite limited to some households. Livestock rearing is quite tedious, requiring so much time and attention. Production is on small scale though the area has favourable conditions for large scale livestock production. Poultry production is mostly about chicken, duck, and turkey and can be found in most households in the District.

Table 1.29: Estimated Total Number of Livestock and Poultry In The District Animals Number Cattle 541 Pigs 821 poultry 9,733 improved Sheep and goats 8,774 Source: DistrictAgric Directorate 2013 Both crop and livestock production in the District is affected by the inadequate agricultural extension services. The Districthas only 7 agricultural extension agents who attend to the farmers. This situation is compounded by the lack of motorbikes thathinders their mobility to most parts of the District. Extension Services provided includes

42 technical support in food production through farm visits, on- farm demonstrations, and field days.

1.16.3 Technology The technology employed in Agricultural Production in the District is largely the traditional cutlass and hoe. Mechanized farming is very limited and the rate of adoption of other agriculture related technologies is equally low. Farming is entirely rain–fed as there are no irrigation facilities, this culminates in low productivity. Access roads to farming centres are also poor thus hampering the marketing of the products. These together with the absence of storage facilities give rise to high post-harvest losses.

1.16.4 Projects undertaken and those on- going 1. Land and Water Management- it was undertaken during the previous plan period. the outcome of the project is that it has brought awareness to farmers on the need for land conservation which in turn leads to increased yields and income for farmers 2. Roots and Tubers Improvement and Marketing Projects: - this targets the rural poor to take advantage of high yielding cassava varieties to raise incomes and ensure domestic food security. This is the second phase of the project which when the products are available, marketing sources would be bought for the farmers to dispose of their products.

3. CAVA: this means Cassava: Adding Value to Africa. Cassava has a lot of potential to offer to the farmers when the production and marketing is well organized. This is what this project sought out to do in conjunction with RTIMP. In order to raise farmers’ incomes.

4. EMQAP: This is Export Marketing and Quality Awareness Project. This project focuses on assisting farmers in the production of non- traditional export crops or horticultural crops in general. It helps to build the capacity of farmers up and also takes up the construction of infrastructure to enhance the production of the crops. 5. Maize Expansion Project: this was a package of production loan in terms of inputs e.g. seed and fertilizers given to farmers to produce and pay off after sales. The loans recovery has been successful

1.16.5 Post-Harvest Losses Post-harvest losses are a common phenomenon and represent a major challenge to farmers in the District. The incidence of post-harvest losses is particularly very high for certain crops like cassava, plantain, and mango, the highly perishable ones like tomatoes, garden eggs and pepper as shown below. These losses have come about because of the general lack of knowledge about preservation techniques and the inadequacy of appropriate processing and storage facilities. The high incidence of post-harvest losses affects the incomes of farmers and has been a disincentive to farmers who want to embark on large scale production.

1.16.6 Agro-Processing Some effort has over the years been made in the District to add value to the agricultural produce through processing. Agro-processing is currently on a small scale. The District has some agro-processing plants located in various communities, gari processing, and production of ‘akpeteshie’, a local gin throughout the District.

Figure 1.2: Local processing of cassava

1.16.7 Agricultural Land Acquisition Land in the District is vested in the hands of the chiefs and families. For agricultural purposes, the land can easily be accessed by both natives and non-natives, and this is a great potential for agricultural development. In line with the customs and traditions of the community, non-natives in need of land for agricultural activities are required to approach appropriate authority or landlord with a token of drinks, or small amount of money for a parcel of land.

1.17.0 Spatial Development This section discusses the spatial organization of settlements in the District. It provides a summary of the socio-economic profile within a spatial context. It further deals with the type, number, distribution of facilities and services, and how these factors ultimately shape the hierarchy of settlements in the District.

1.17.1 Settlements Pattern The spatial pattern of settlements in the District could generally be described as clustered. The majority of settlements are located along the major roads within the District. There are four urban settlements in the District, namely, Tsito, Kpedze, and Anyirawase. At the moment, all the major towns and communities are link with good roads within the District.

1.17.2 Hierarchy and Distribution of Settlements Weights were assigned to various services and facilities and the total centrality index which represents the degree to which each of the settlements provide functions to people in other areas, was then calculated, and this was used to classify settlements into five levels of hierarchy. The hierarchy of settlements based on the functions of the settlement was found to run at par with the population sizes of the communities.

Table 1.30: Distribution of Settlements by Hierarchy Hierarch Population No. of Name of Settlement Percentage y/Level Threshold Settlements of Settlement 2nd 5000 – 3 Tsito, Kpedze, Anyirawase 2.0 9,999 3rd 2,000 – 24 Several settlements 15.8 4,999 4th 1,000 – 42 Several settlements 27.6 1,999 5th Below 83 Several settlements 54.6 1,000 Total 152 100 Source: D PCU,2013

The scalogram depicts spatial inequalities in the distribution of services and facilities,Tsito has 12 facilities and services Kpedze has 11 facilities and services, leaving the remaining settlements with less than 11 facilities and services. It has also been observed that population and services in the District are concentrated along the major roads. A deliberate development policy is required to resource deficient areas, for example by upgrading some settlements, through the provision of relevant services at the appropriate scale.

1.17.3 Land Use Planning and Development Control The District Town and Country Planning Department (TCPD) is seriously under- resourced in terms of Personnel, financial and logistics to perform its functions of planning and managing physical growth of towns in the District to ensure orderliness, convenience, safety and beauty. The existing staff also needs training in modern techniques of human settlement planning and management such as GPS tools. Means of transport which is critical for efficient development control is also non-existent and so the staff cannot move round to enforce development control measures.

1.18.0 Industry, Commerce and Service Industry refers to the type of product produced or service rendered at the respondent’s work place. Information was collected only on the main product produced or service rendered in the establishment during the reference period.

The three top industries, agriculture forestry and fishing; manufacturing; and wholesale and retail employ 80.6% of people 15 years and older with all the remaining industries employing 19.4%. The three industries combine employees a higher proportion of females (85.1%) then males (75.7%). Female (16.5%) dominance is evident in whole and retail compare to the male counter of (16.5% female and 3.8% male). Male is exhibited in the construction industry as compared with the female less (0.1% female and 7.7% male). At the regional level, the three industries employs 78.4% of the population 15 years and older 47

Many of them have benefited from various training programmes and financial support from institutions in the municipality such as the Business Advisory Centre (BAC), Department of Agriculture (MOFA). However, many of them still need more training on business management, entrepreneurial, financial and marketing skills to enable them enhance their productivity. Some of the constraints currently facing the small scale

48 enterprises include inadequate funds to start up or expand their business operations. Majority (70%) of the small scale operators do not have access to loans to invest in their operations. There is also a problem of high interest rates, especially for those who access loans from the banks. This problem has seriously affected businesses, by preventing them from growing and expanding to meet the market demand. The implications of these problems have been a slow and limited growth of the small scale industries.

Figure 1.3: Tie and dye dresses DPCU, 2013

1.18.1 Financial Services Financial services in the District are provided by about two Rural banks. Other financial services exist in the District.

1.18.2 Telecommunications and Postal Services Currently, there are five mobile telecommunication networks and one land line service provider. These include MTN, Kasapa, Vodafone, Zain, and Tigo. There is also one Post Office and a Postal Agency.

1.18.3 Potential Investment Opportunities Mechanized Agriculture Availability of land for excellent large-scale production of crops such as; maize, cassava, yam and palm fruits for the local and export markets exist at Abutia and Avatime

1.18.4 Agro-Processing Processing of cassava, oil palm, fruits, maize flour, rice flour, and dried cassava, present opportunities for business development.

1.18.5 Mineral Exploitation Various mineral deposits such as chromites at Agbenu-Atabu and Todome areas Talc at Anyirawase, Tsito and Awudome Avenui, Hephelme gneiss at Abutia,

1.18.6 Construction of a Cultural Market There is availability of vast land for the establishment of a cultural market to bring together all cultural workers, investors and tourists in as one stop centre.

1.18.7 Tourism This district has a lot of untapped tourist potential which need to be harnessed. The tourist attractions are numerous namely: Aya-fie Waterfall, Amedzofe Waterfalls, Mount Gemi, Handicrafts, Ancient Colonial Buildings and Ancestral Caves at Amedzofe, Kalakpa Game Reserves at Abutia, music and dances. There are five guest houses and one two star Hotel in the District. Restaurants, drinking and chop bars exist in the District.

1.18.8Accommodation: Accommodation facilities form an important part of tourism promotion. Accommodation facilities in the municipality include, lodges, resorts, and guesthouses.

1.19.0 Environmental Situation The physical environment exhibit mixed features typical of the forest and savanna woodland. This is attributed to the physical location of the District, which falls within the transitional zone of Ghana. The physical environment of the District is challenge with the high incidence of bushfires, high level of charcoal production sand wining, logging, stone mining and inappropriate farming methods among other factors. High concentration of vehicles around the market area on market days also contributes to high exhaust fume in the atmosphere. These environmental problems are caused by unsustainable human practices.

1.19.1 Bush Fires, Charcoal Production and Logging Bushfire has become a prominent annual ritual in some parts of the District. This is attributed to hunting of game, farming and the natural habit of setting fire to the bush.

Bush fire in particular has contributed greatly to the reduction of the forest cover in the municipality.

Charcoal production in the District is widespread and unregulated. Vast areas have been completely stripped of trees for fuel wood in the form of charcoal. Charcoal production has been identified as the leading cause of deforestation in the District.

Logging is also pronounced in the District. Though the Forestry Commission in the District regulates the exploitation of timber, it has not been able to effectively monitor the chainsaw operators. Moreover, illegal chainsaw operators are still operating in the District.

1.19.2 Farming Practices and Sand Winning Farming also causes a great deal of destruction to the environment. Though the traditional farming system of bush-fallowing allows lands once cultivated to regain its fertility after some time, the rate of recovery could be slow. The bush fallow system also causes destruction to the forest cover as trees are cut down to make way for new farms. Tillage of land causes emission of CO2 into the atmosphere which contributes to climate change.

Sand winning and stone mining is another major activity that are fast destroying the environment in the District. The use of sand and stone in housing construction makes sand winning and stone mining a household activity. Another activity that promotes sand winning in the District is feeder road construction. These activities are fast reducing the quantity and quality of the environment through unsustainable exploitation of natural resources.

1.19.3 Environmental Management The Forestry Commission (FC), the National Disaster Management Organization (NDMO) and the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) have individually and jointly

53 undertaken various activities aimed at protecting and /or improving upon the current state of the environment. Reforestation in the Districtis often carried out on individual basis due to the limited land surface they have. Some educational campaigns aimed at improving upon the state of the environment have also been undertaken. These educational campaigns are geared towards raising awareness of the people on the effects of bush fires on the environment and their very livelihood. The enforcement of timber exploitation regulations is another environmental management strategy. The FC has been working around the clock to ensure that chainsaw operators do not deplete the forest. The apparent difficulty in regulating charcoal production in the District also poses a challenge to environmental management. Despite the harmful effects of charcoal production on the environment, the fact that it is a source of livelihood to many people and a source of revenue to the Assembly, its regulation has not been effective. The lack of collaboration among the agencies or institutions involved in environmental management remains a very serious challenge to effective environmental management. There is currently weak collaboration between the FC, GNFS, MOFA, NADMO, and the District Assembly.

1.20.0 Civic Education, Security and Justice There are a number of public institutions responsible for the promotion of civic rights, security and justice in the District. They include the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE),and Ghana Police Service (GPS).

The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has made various efforts to carry out its constitutional mandate in the District. These include the formation of civic education clubs in schools, organizing programmes to educate the people on their civic rights and responsibilities, organizing constitutional games to promote interest in the study of the constitution and programmes for communities on ways of reducing poverty

54 among others. The NCCE is however beset with a number of problems including inadequate logistics.

1.20.1 Police Service The police are the lead agents in the maintenance of law and order in the District. The District has its Police Headquarters at Anyirawase. The District has less than the required police force to maintain law and order in the District.

1.20.2 Judicial Service The District is yet to be provided with a Circuit court.

1.20.3 Fire Service Fire prevention and management has been the key responsibility of the Ghana National Fire Service in the District. The District depends at the moment on Ho fire service for required services.

1.21.0 The Vulnerable and Excluded Vulnerability and exclusion is a feature of poverty and manifest in various forms. Emerging forms of exclusion and vulnerability depicts worsening forms of poverty. These include the phenomenon of street children, increasing child labour; the phenomenon of Kayayei, families plunged into poverty by HIV/AIDS and victims of traditional harmful practices and domestic violence. The most vulnerable and the excluded groups in the District include, the physically-challenged persons, Children in difficult circumstances, victims of abuse, disadvantaged women, rural agricultural producers, and victims of harmful traditional practices.

1.21.1 The Physically Challenged Persons

1 Population with disability

Out of a total population of 94,600 captured during the 2010 Population and Housing Census, 5,684 representing six percent of the people are having one form of disability or the other. This implies that a little over 90% of the population in the District does not have any form of disability. There are slightly more females with one form of disability as compare to males.

2. Type of disability

Table 6.1 indicates PWDs by type of disability in the District. The highest form of disability in the district is sight (47.1%), followed by physical (34.4%). Other forms of disabilities such as hearing, intellect, emotion, among others constitute 18.5%. The percentage of females (47.9%) with sight disability is relatively higher than the male (46.3%).

3. Distribution by type of locality

The locality of residence (rural-urban) of persons with disability has an impact on the ability of PWDs to access social services and other facilities within the District. Table 6.1 further, shows the distribution of persons with disability by locality in the District. The percentage of PWDs in the rural areas with sight disability (47.3%) is slightly higher than the urban areas (44.9%). Further analysis reveals that a slightly higher proportion of females in rural (47.9%) have sight disability than the males (46.6%). On a whole the district figures is a reflection of the regional scenario. For Volta region, sight disability accounts for (44.3%) followed by physical (29.1%) disability.

4. Disability and Education In general, education enhances the employment opportunities of all persons in Ghana, including persons with disability. As a result the government and various social welfare agencies have been implementing policies to enhance access of persons with disability to education at all levels. out of 5562 PWDs, 1,434 representing (25.8%) have never attended school, compared to (12.5%) percent of the population who have no disability and never attended school. It can be observed that, 4,128 PWDs have ever attended school, this constitute about (74.2%) Postgraduate Diploma/ Masters/ PHD education is the highest level of education (3) for PWDs followed by Bachelor degree (17 )

6. Women Empowerment Participation of women in the political life of the Assembly is still not encouraging. Currently, there are 9 women out of the 38 membership of the Assembly, this constitute 3.4% of the total membership, some are government appointees and the others elected. Considering the role women play in both the local and national economy, the participation of more women in the decision making process of the District means that their views would be fully reflected in development activities.

1.22.1 District Finance This section examines the structure of revenue and expenditure of the District. The main sources of revenue to the municipality can be categorized into internal and external revenue sources. In general the internal revenue sources are used to cover recurrent expenses of the District. This leaves the central government grants and donor funds as the main source of funds for development expenditure.

1.23.0 Administration The District Assembly Structure The District Assembly consist of eleven Decentralised Departments, eight Town and Area Councils, and Twenty Five Unit Committees. The District Assembly is made up of Thirty Seven Members, comprising of twenty five elected members, ten Government Appointees, one District Chief Executive and one Member of Parliament.

The District is headed by the District Chief Executive who is the political and administrative head. He is responsible to the President via the Regional Minister who is the head of the Region. However, the District Co-ordinating Director is the chief advisor and secretary to the District Chief Executive and the Assembly.

The District Planning Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU), which embraces technocrats from various Decentralised Departments and Heads of Core Units of the Assembly, helps the Chief Executive in formulating and implementing government policies, programmes and projects.

1.23.1 Sub – District Structures The District Assembly has 8 Town and Area Councils which operate below the Assembly structure. Despite their importance, these sub-District structures have not been able to contribute towards the District development planning process. They have not been able to fulfil certain tasks assigned to them such as revenue mobilization and planning for local development. The inability of the District sub-structures to function properly is due to financial, logistical and human resource capacity constraints. The relevant staff required to manage the operations of these councils are non-existent. The few staff available to manage these local councils have very little training to guide them in their day to day operations.

The inadequacy of office accommodation also remains an impediment for the smooth functioning of the District sub-structures.

The existing decentralized departments are not fully integrated into the Assembly structures. Most of these departments still continue to look up to their mother ministries for policy implementation. There is the need for these sector departments to re-define their roles and functions and their relationships in the integration process.

1.23.3 Relationship of District Assembly with Other Institutions and Organizations There are a number of other institutions and organizations who work in collaboration with the Assembly towards the development of the District. They include public institutions, traditional authorities, multilateral and non-governmental and private business organizations.

2.0 DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES The POCC analysis is a tool used to streamline development issues and interventions before they are programmed for implementation. This analysis is important in helping to fine-tune development goals, objectives, policies and strategies. Before the POCC analysis could be effectively done it is important to identify the key development issues identified in the performance review and the district profile.

2.1. Potential, Opportunities, Constraints and Challenges Analysis (POCC) In this plan, Potential, Opportunities, Constraints and Challenges have been defined as follows:

 Potentials: Potentials are latent strengths or untapped resources in the District, which are capable of being tapped for the District’s development. e.g. Availability of bye laws on internal revenue generation.

 Opportunities: They are positive and development enhancing factors that are external to the District, and on which the District does not have direct control. For example, availability of the DACF.

 Constraints: Constraints are internal factors (within the district) that inhibit or restrict the district’s efforts to unearth and fully utilize its potentials. e.g., bad terrain and low communal spirit etc.

 Challenges: They are negative external factors that inhibit the pursuit of development interventions in the District.

Thirty (30) development issues of the Ho West District have been subjected to this analysis.

CHAPTER THREE 3.1.0 DEVELOPMENT GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND STRATEGIES Introduction The problem analysis of the Ho West District has led to the identification of numerous problems which accounted for the low level of development in the District. This warranted the formulation of development goals and objectives which are envisaged to be achieved by the end of the Medium Term Development Plan from 2014- 2017. These goals and objectives have been set in line with the seven thematic areas of the National Medium-Term Development Policy Framework 2014-2017. In addition, policies have been formulated to highlight the vision for the District and create the enabling environment within which the plan would be operationalized. Specific strategies have been identified, and are expected to be used to achieve the objectives leading to the attainment of the ultimate goal.

Goal The District goal set within the national context which place emphasis on human development, transparent and accountable governance and infrastructural development, in support of agricultural modernization and natural resource management, private sector development, ICT, housing and energy for accelerated employment creation and income generation for poverty reduction. All these will be done while protecting the environment and minimizing the impacts of climate change.

A score of 2 indicates strongly compatibility; 1indicates compatibility while -2 indicates strongly incompatibility,-1 indicates incompatibility of sector and the national goal. A zero score indicates a neutral -compatibility. A score of -1 and below call for review of the Sector goal to be in line with the goal set in the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda Goal

3.1.1 Summary of Compatibility Analysis Most of the policies at the national and district levels are strongly compatible. Although certain policies such as improve science, technology and innovation in agriculture and the improvement of physical infrastructure would have a toll on the environment, policies are also put in place to minimize the effects of such activities on the environment.

3.1.2 Development projections for 2014-2017 Planning has been defined as charting the course of the unknown future. To be able to adequately meet the future needs of a population, there is the need to project into the future. Projections therefore form a central part in any development planning. Development planning will be an exercise in futility if much consideration is not given to population as an element in planning. Since planning is both purpose and vehicle for development, in projecting for the societal needs, population formed a critical component in the projections. Population Projection Human resources and needs vary depending on the size, composition and distribution of population, there is therefore the need for the population to be projected to ensure the equitable distribution of facilities to bring about maximum satisfaction among the populace. In estimating the projected population for the planned period, the current population growth rate of 2.5% is used. The projected population is shown in Table 3.2. The underlying assumptions guiding this projection are: 5. Net Migration is constant 6. Birth and death rates are constant 7. Proportions of age cohorts will remain constant 8. Growth rate of 2.5% will be constant throughout the planned period

3.1.3 Needs Assessment for 2014-2017 This area considers projections of social needs such as education in terms of enrolment, teacher requirements, classroom requirements, health also in terms of health facility requirements and personnel, water and sanitation and housing and energy.

3.1.4 Educational Needs Assessment Projections in the educational sector are under three main categories – the number of teachers required, and the number of school infrastructure required. The overarching assumption in the educational projections is that all children in the school going age will be in school during the plan years.

3.1.5 Teacher projection It is often assumed that the quality of teachers is a co-efficient of quality education. In projection for teacher requirements throughout the planned period, attention is given to only train teachers in the public sector. The teacher requirement for the district, for the next four years is shown on the table below;

Projections of social needs such as education in terms of enrolment, teacher requirements, classroom requirements, health also in terms of health facility requirements and personnel, water and sanitation and housing and energy. currently the Kindergarten have a backlog of 8 trained teachers . It can also be seen that the district will need a total of 180 trained teachers for the KG, 517 for the primary and 460 for JHS to effectively deliver the job throughout the planned period. It is also interesting to note that the SHS did not require any more teachers for the period. Providing training support for all untrained teachers in the district through the UTDBE system will help reduce the burden of high teacher deficit in the district.

3.1.7 Health Needs Assessment i. Health Facility Requirement In projecting for the health facility requirement for the District, the thresholds that guarantee the provision of facilities like hospitals, health centers and clinics were used (UN standard). The standards are as follows: *Hospital------up to 30,000 people *Health centre------up to 10,000 people *Health post/clinics/CHPs ------up to 5,000 people

Assumptions 1. Backlog will be provided timely to meet the population needs

 The projection above shows that the District will require one (1) hospital by 2017 to help adequately serve the people.  In the case of Health post/clinics/CHPS, forty seven (47) more will be needed by 2017 to help provide services to the people.

Health Personnel Requirement Quality health care depends to a large extent on the number and quality of personnel available. With regards to personnel assessment, the standards below were used. Doctor------1:20000 Nurse------1:500 The assumptions made include; *The existing health personnel shall be maintained during the plan period. *The backlogs would be provided annually to add to the existing personnel for the subsequent years.

The projection shows the following;  Currently, the District has 90 Nurses with no Doctor at all.

119

 There is therefore the need for at least five Doctors within the plan period to help serve the populace in the District per the UN standard.  The District needs a total of 120 nurses to adequately render health services for the people throughout the planned period.

4.5 Local Revenue Structure The sources of revenue to the Ho West Assembly have been classified into three major categories:  Internally Generated Fund (IGF) (e.g. rent, rates, fee/fines, lands)  Transfers from central government including the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF)  Donor Funds/miscellaneous inflows The table below presents the revenue contribution of the various revenue sources.

4.6 Performance of Revenue Heads (2012-2013) The major sources of IGF for the District include rates, lands, fees, fines,Licenses and rents; among others. Out of these sources, Licenses contributes 94.3% to the total revenue for the 2012 fiscal year with the remaining revenue items accounting for only 5.7% . In 2013 however, fees and fines contributed 63.5% with licenses declining to 25%. Other items contributed marginally to the revenue inflow of the District. This implies that others accounts for only 11.5%.It also presupposes that some of the revenue items are not productive enough, and there will the need for their re-assessment and adaptation of new strategies for collection coupled with diversification of the District revenue items.

CHALLENGES AND CONSTRAINTS

 Irregular release of statutory funds

 Inability to mobilize enough IGF

 Logistical constraints. e.g. Vehicles, motorbikes

 The variance between the budget ceilings (allocations) and actual releases disrupts budget implementation

CHAPTER FIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANNUAL PLANS (2014) 5.0 Introduction The Annual Plan detailed out activities to be undertaken in the implementation of projects selected for the first year of the medium term planning period (2014). Second year of the medium term planning period (2015) has also been included due to late completion of the plan. The Annual Plan, also known as the Action Plan serves as the basis for disbursement of all funds for the first year. For this reason, it is closely linked to the Annual Budget of the Assembly. Details on each project is indicated, and includes the activity, location, time frame, implementing agency, cost of project, funding agency and the implementing agencies.

5.1 Annual Plan: 2014 (January – December)

Projects in the Annual Plan were selected based on the following criteria.

 Project that are on-going in the District.

 Projects with high potential for quick revenue generation and high potential for employment generation

 Projects that can immediately and quickly facilitate achievements of the medium term plan;

 Projects whose cost can conveniently be contained in the first year of the development budget; and

 Projects that satisfy the urgent needs of the poor.

Table 5.1 presents project activities selected for the first year – 2014. These projects are categorized according to the 7 pillars of the thematic areas spelt out in the MTDP, namely Ensuring and sustaining macroeconomic stability, accelerated agriculture modernization and natural resources management, Enhancing competitiveness in Ghana’s private sector, Infrastructure, energy and human settlements development, Human development, productivity and employment, transparent and accountable governance.

171 sub-structures, 15.07% of the budget have been committed Transparent and Accountable Governance with over 70% of the funds allocated to that thematic area directed to development and strengthen of the sub-substructures to make them operationally vibrant.

Subsequently the second year of the implementation of the Plan the District has assigned Eight Billion, Three Hundred and Eighty Four Thousand, Five Hundred and Fifty Ghana cedis ( GH₵ 8,384,550.00)for the execution of its programmes and projects. Out of this ( GH₵ 4,040,850.00 ) constituting 48.19% has been earmarked for Human Development, Productivity and Employment, whiles ( GH₵ 1,285.000.00 ) representing 15.33% has been reserved for infrastructure, energy and Human Settlement Development. This point to the fact that the District held human resource development as a key priority that could trigger off development of other sectors within the local economy.

CHAPTER SIX MONITORING AND EVALUATION

6.0 Introduction:

The effectiveness of policies, programmes and projects is achieved by monitoring objectively verifiable indicators.

At the district level, the activities of monitoring and evaluation are the responsibilities of:-

 The DistrictPlanning Coordinating Unit (DPCU),  The Sub Committees and  District Sector Departments.

The Area Councils, Development Associations, Chiefs etc should take part in monitoring projects.

The DPCU is responsible specifically for the preparation of monitoring and evaluation procedures and the monitoring of the plan. It is required to provide an oversight over all district level monitoring and evaluation of projects.

To supplement this effort at the district level, the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) and Regional Planning Coordinating Unit (RPCU) shall provide a general overview of the monitoring and evaluation work.

6.1 Monitoring Report

Project Monitoring formally begins as soon as actual implementation of a project starts, and it is directed at ensuring progress according to schedule, standard quality of work, and the correct delivery of inputs (including labour) according to time, quality and quantity.

The Monitoring Report shall be prepared according to the following format (NDPC, 1995)

CHAPTER SEVEN

COMMUNICATION STRATEGY 7.0 Introduction The chapter presents in details the strategy for dissemination of this plan to all key stakeholders. The communication strategy of the plan is envisioned to create awareness about the Medium Term Development Plan of the Ho West District Assembly. It is also to inform all stakeholders about the programmes, projects and activities that the District expects to implement during the period 2014- 2017. The programmes are tactically mapped out to enable the District contribute to the achievement of the goal of the National Medium Term Policy Framework 2014-2017. In this strategy, efforts will be made to foster greater collaboration and coordination with all stakeholders in the achievement of set targets. There would be greater prominence on transparency and accountability so as to maximum benefits to be derived from the implementation of planned interventions.

7.1 Objectives of the Communication Strategy The objective of the Communication Strategy is to:  Create awareness; eliminate any misunderstanding and distortions, and foster greater understandings, appreciation and acceptance of the project.  Develop a process to promote and sustain stakeholder involvement, participation, consultation, support, and collaboration in the life of the project.  Promote donor orientation, support, involvement and co-ordination. 7.2 Institutional Arrangements: Various institutions as given below have to work hard and those not in places have to be put in place to promote effective implementation and management of the plan.

7.3 District Assembly The Assembly has the ultimate authority to seek the necessary approvals and implement the District Development Plan.

218

7.4 Executive Committee:

The Executive committee should play a leading role to inform Assembly members about details of the Plan for them to be able to explain it in their Electoral Areas.

7.5 Sub Committees:

The various Sub-Committee in place, especially the following should be strengthened:

 Development Planning Sub- Committee.  Social Services Sub-Committee.  Works Sub-Committee.  Finance and Administration The Development Planning Sub-Committee in particular should have the right personnel with the knowledge, experience and skills in various aspects of development. This committee should meet on regular basis to review the development process at each stage.

7.6 Departments of the District Assembly:  It is recommended that the other Decentralised Departments that are not present in the District should be established as soon as possible.

 Efforts should be made to attract qualified staff and

 Heads of Department should meet regularly to discuss and co-ordinate their implementation strategies.

7.7 Chiefs/Opinion Leaders and Traditional Authorities: The Assembly should inform Chiefs and Traditional Authorities including landowners, about their roles in implementing the Plan, for example in organising durbars, educating their subjects, releasing lands etc.

219

7.8 NGO’s CBO’s and the Private Sector. The District Assembly should co-ordinate the participation of development associations, Pressure Groups, NGO’s, CBO’s and the private sector in implementing the Plan. This is to ensure judicious utilisation of human, financial and material resources.

7.9 Approval of the Plan: As required by the Local Government Act 462, 1993; the District Assembly after approving the Plan should submit it through the Regional Co-ordinating Council to the National Development Planning Commission for Approval and integrated into the Regional and National Plans.

 This will facilitate allocation and release of funds.  It will also establish confidence in the Plan by NGO’s, Private Sector, International Donors and Departments.

7.10 Marketing the Plan In order to win support for the Plan, it has to be marketed at various levels for people to know what to expect from the Plan and what is expected of them towards its implementation.

7.11 District Assembly Level:

The Development Focus, Objectives and Development Proposals within the Plan should be made to all Assembly Members and Officers of Department.  They should in turn educate the public about the plan.

7.12 Town and Area Councils At the area and Unit Committee levels the members should be able to carry the message further to the people.  These could be done through durbars, seminars, and workshops.  Pressure groups in the district such as Chiefs, Youth Associations, Market Women, NGOs GPRTU etc should be well informed about their roles and benefits to the society in general and to them in particular.  In all instances investment opportunities in the district should be highlighted. 220

7.13 Regional and National Levels:

It is necessary to market the District Development Plan beyond its borders to serve as means of informing public officials and as a means of soliciting for material and financial support. At the Regional and National levels, Ministers, Heads of Department, Corporations etc whose support are needed have to be well informed about their roles and contributions through special submissions.

Members of Parliament (MPs) for the area should be able to market the potentials of the District.

7.14 International Level: Presentations should be made to International Agencies and Financiers for their support. The Assembly should forge strong links with sister Districts, and Metropolitans in foreign countries. A copy of the Plan will be posted on the Internet to solicit for investment.

7.15 Arrangement for Funding: 7.15.1 Central Government Sources: Funds from the Central Government would be the major source of financing the Plan. It is therefore necessary to satisfy condition necessary for release of funds especially those of the District Assembly Common Fund.

7.15.2 District Sources: The District’s revenue base is not healthy to support development projects as may be required. However it is believed that potentials are there to improve the revenue base of the District. It is necessary for an intensive revenue drive to increase revenue as anticipated over the Plan period for the implementation of the plan. It is also recommended that expenditures be reviewed in order to analyse weaknesses in them. This should enable the Assembly to reduce its expenditures.

7.15.3 Other Sources outside the District: As mentioned earlier, the District Assembly should co-ordinate all funds from various sources outside the District. It is recommended that various organisations such as NGO’s Embassies,

221

Companies, individuals etc be approached to support development efforts in the district. Specific Projects should be prepared and submitted to such bodies for support. The District Assembly should ensure that it qualifies for the District Development Facility (DDF) in order to rake in the needed revenue for development.

7.16 STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The Ho West Medium Term Development Plan which spans the period 2014– 2017 has revealed a number of issues after being subjected to the tools of the Strategic Environmental Assessment. To ensure sustainable development, the Assembly needs to address the issues which bother on interventions that will mitigate environmental impacts in the cause of implementing the various policies. The assessment of the MTDP brought into fore some key findings among which are the following:

 Most of the objectives did not conflicted against each other and were mutually supportive  All constructional activities will impact negatively on the environment particularly in the area of natural resources and climate change..  Some constructional activities will impact on socio-cultural issues specifically on access to land and payment of compensation.

In recommendations the following are suggested:

 Monitoring of the implementation of the DMTDP/SEA by the Regional Economic Planning Unit  Enactment of by-laws to regulate sand and gravel winning  The Assembly must take steps to provide alternative sources of livelihood for charcoal and fire wood producing communities and embark on vigorous afforestation  Farmers should be trained on non-tilling farming to reduce emission of harmful gases  Environmental Impact Assessment should be done for all constructional projects to assess the impact of the projects on the environment  The Assembly should collaborate with Environmental Protection Agency to monitor dust/vehicular emissions and to take appropriate control measures.

223

The Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Medium Term Development Plan is a useful exercise that should be part of the preparation of the MTDP to make\objectives, strategies and activities in the plan environmentally friendly.

SEA is a useful tool to make the preparation of Development Plans environmentally compliant and friendly. The implementation of suggestions in the plan would better the lives of all especially the poor and women who are mostly affected by the negative effects of the environment
