  • Savelugu-Nanton District
    SAVELUGU-NANTON DISTRICT i Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Savelugu Nanton District is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

  • Productivity Index Rating of Some Soils in the Tolon/Kumbungu District of the Northern Region of Ghana
    Journal of Soil Science and Environmental Management Vol. 3(6), pp. 154-163, June 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JSSEM DOI: 10.5897/JSSEM11.124 ISSN 2141-2391 ©2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Productivity index rating of some soils in the Tolon/Kumbungu district of the Northern region of Ghana Imoro Abukari Ziblim1*, Daniel Okai-Anti2 and E. Augustine Asmah2 1Department of Range and Wildlife Management, University for Development Studies, Nyankpala Campus, Box TL 1882, Tamale, Ghana. 2Department of Soil Science, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana. Accepted 29 February, 2012 Productivity indices (PI) provide a single scale on which soils may be rated according to their suitability for crop production. The study was to assess the productive potentials of selected soil series in the Northern region of Ghana viz, Nyankpala series (NS), Changnayili series (CS) and Kpelesawgu series (KS), to evaluate the current and future suitability of these soils and to suggest possible amendments for improvement in productivity. Maize, soybean, cowpea and groundnut were used as the test crops. Soil samples were taken from 0 to 20 cm and 20 to 40 cm depths, and soil and crop data were rated and scaled using 100% as the optimum and the Productivity index (PI) ratings for the series were computed. The results indicated higher PI values for KS while the lowest values were observed at NS based on the parameters measured. This might mean that KS has higher productivity potential than both CS and NS. All three soil series showed low current suitability for crop production, however, given prudent soil management practices, the soils would be potentially suitable for crop production.

  • ITFC Organic Mangoes in Ghana
    Sub-Saharan Africa • Ghana Integrated Tamale Fruit Company: Organic Mangoes Improving Livelihoods for the Poor Prepared by • Robert Osei (Ghana) Sector • Agriculture Enterprise Class • Local SME Summary Integrated Tamale Fruit Company (ITFC) is a private, Limited Liability Company incorporated in 1999 under Ghana Company code of 1963 (Act 179). The Company cultivates certified organic mangoes for both local and export markets. It operates in the Savelugu- Nanton District in the Northern Region of Ghana, an area that has a very high incidence of poverty. ITFC operates an outgrower scheme, started in 2001, which currently includes 1,300 outgrower farmers (a total of 2,000 projected), each having a farm of about 1 acre with 100 mango trees. ITFC provides an interest free loan to the outgrowers exclusively in the form of required inputs and technical services. The farmers start paying for the loan from the sale of mangoes after five years. This arrangement guarantees that ITFC can source a large volume of quality organic mangoes and the low-income farmers can produce mangoes, enabling them to earn a long-term sustainable income for their families. This case examines the key challenges of running the outgrower scheme and the implications of this arrangement for the business of ITFC. Integrated Tamale Fruit Company: The Nucleus Farm Integrated Tamale Fruit Company (ITFC) is a Ghanaian, private, Limited Liability Company incorporated in 1999 and operating in the Savelugu-Nanton District of the Northern region of Ghana (see map below1). Although the company’s focus is cultivating certified organic mangoes for exportation, it anticipates that some proportion (about 10 percent to 20 percent) of the mangoes will end up being sold on the local market.

  • Why Training Is High for Women Yet Only Few of Them Are Applying
    WHY TRAINING IS HIGH FOR WOMEN YET ONLY FEW OF THEM ARE APPLYING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES A USAID’s ADVANCE II Project Report: JUNE 2018 USAID’s ADVANCE PROJECT REPORT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. AID-641-A-14- 00001 AOR USAID: CHIEF OF PARTY: DISCLAIMER This report is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the responsibility of ACDI/VOCA and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. ii Executive Summary Introduction Recognizing the critical role of Knowledge Management and Learning (KM&L) in a knowledge-based economy and the importance of technology application and gender mainstreaming in contemporary development discourse, the Agricultural Development and Value Chain Enhancement Project II (ADVANCE II) commissioned this gender-linked KM&L study relating to women’s training and application of farming technologies in the maize, rice and soy value chain. The Project is in line with the Feed the Future (FtF) initiative, which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This study, which was conducted in the Northern Region of Ghana, was necessitated by the outcome of analysis of data from ADVANCE II or ACDI/VOCA office on the issue at stake. The main issue was that, in spite of the fact that both men and women farmers were trained on good agronomic practices with respect to application of farming technologies, the men were found to be adopting the technologies more than the women, which was contrary to the gender mainstreaming agenda of the Project and, therefore, needed to be remedied through evidence-based study results.
