Recent seismic activities in Ghana: The role of the National Data Centre (NDC) T5.2 – P28 Paulina Amponsah1 and Yaw Serfor Armah2 1National Data Centre, Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, P O Box LG 80, Legon-Accra, Ghana 2Graduate School of Nuclear and Allied Sciences Introduction Contact: [email protected] The establishment of the National Data Centre (NDC) in Ghana in 2010 has helped the country with its seismic hazard studies. Ghana has a major fault line stretching from the McCarthy Hills area in Accra westwards towards Kasoa-Nyanyanu area in the Central Region and eastwards towards the Akwapim Range all the way to the Volta Region. The epicenter of the fault line is thought to be located around Nyanyanu. Since 1939, when Ghana experienced its severest earthquake which caused a lot of damage with a magnitude of over 6.0 on the Richter scale, there have been reported occurrences of earth tremors in recent times. Kasoa and parts of Accra; Weija, Gbawe, McCarthy Hills, Bortianor, Anyaa and their adjoining areas have experienced a series of Briefing before fieldwork earth tremors which have thrown residents into fear and panic. NADMO and NDC staff Lecture session Seismologists have warned that the continuous earth tremors should not be taken for granted.. The tremors were recorded on 24 March, 2018, 9 Conclusion December, 2018 and January - March 2019 with magnitude ranging from 3.0 to 4.8 on the Richter scale. Through the briefing and interview sessions, the realization was that: . Most of the people were aware that they live in an earthquake prone area but had no measures put in place to mitigate it in any form. -

South Dayi District
SOUTH DAYI 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 South Dayi 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. -
Evidence from Ghanaian Railways∗
Colonial Investments and Long-Term Development in Africa: Evidence from Ghanaian Railways∗ Remi JEDWABa Alexander MORADIb a Department of Economics, George Washington University, and STICERD, London School of Economics b Department of Economics, University of Sussex This Version: October 14th, 2012 Abstract: What is the impact of colonial public investments on long-term development? We investigate this issue by looking at the impact of railway construction on economic develop- ment in Ghana. Two railway lines were built by the British to link the coast to mining areas and the hinterland city of Kumasi. Using panel data at a fine spatial level over one century (11x11 km grid cells in 1891-2000), we find a strong effect of rail connectivity on the pro- duction of cocoa, the country’s main export commodity, and development, which we proxy by population and urban growth. First, we exploit various strategies to ensure our effects are causal: we show that pre-railway transport costs were prohibitively high, we provide ev- idence that line placement was exogenous, we find no effect for a set of placebo lines, and results are robust to instrumentation and nearest neighbor matching. Second, transportation infrastructure investments had large welfare effects for Ghanaians during the colonial period. Colonization meant both extraction and development in this context. Third, railway con- struction had a persistent impact: railway cells are more developed today despite a complete displacement of rail by other means of transport. We investigate the various channels of path dependence, including demographic growth, industrialization or infrastructure investments.

The Coming and Spread of the Salvation Army in Ghana: 1922- 2012
Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.6, No.14, 2016 The Coming and Spread of the Salvation Army in Ghana: 1922- 2012 Evang. Isaac Boapeah Central University College Abstract The Salvations Army is a Christian denomination and a charitable organization which started in 1865 in East London by the Rev. William Booth and his wife Mrs. Catherine Booth who broke away from the Methodist Church. The Army works with a philosophy that “heart to God and hands to man”. It also uses military titles. In Ghana, the Salvation Army has health centres and educational institutions. The Army has its presence in 126 countries as of today. The Army got established in Ghana in 1922 through King Hudson. This work looks at how it has spread throughout Ghana. Introduction The Salvation Army is a Christian church denomination and a charitable organization with the philosophy that; ‘heart to God and hand to man’. The Salvation Army in Ghana is a member of the Christian council of Ghana. This work looks at how The Salvation Army (The Army) came to Ghana, then Gold Coast, and has spread to all the ten political regions in Ghana. It briefly looks at the establishment of the Army in London before it came to Ghana. This study also briefly throws some light on the religious setting within which the Army flourished in Ghana. This is considered because one of the factors that makes a crop to do well include the very land on which it is planted. -

Health Care and Infrastructure in Accra, Ghana
Health Care and Infrastructure in Accra, Ghana Jennifer L. Pehr Advanced Issues in Urban Planning 27 April 2010 Page 1 of 21 Introduction Ghana, located in West Africa, was the first of the colonized countries in Africa to declare its independence. Accra is Ghana‟s capital city, and serves as the geographic and economic gateway to this region. The city‟s diverse economy is home to both local and regional traders as well as many international companies. Since its independence, Accra‟s population has increased rapidly. In 1957, the city had a population of approximately 190,000 (Grant &Yankson, 2003); today, the city‟s population is estimated to be over three million (Millennium Cities Initiative website). Accra experienced a period of rapid spatial expansion in the 1980s, and has been urbanizing rapidly ever since. Much of the city‟s growth has not been planned, and as a result, Accra‟s spatial expansion in recent years has occurred in some of the poorest areas of the city. This unfettered and unplanned growth has had severe implications for the population of Accra, and is most pronounced in the lack of basic urban infrastructure, including water and sanitation, transportation, education and health care in many parts of the city. In January 2010, Accra partnered with the Millennium Cities Initiative (MCI) to become a “Millennium City.” MCI works with underserved urban areas in sub-Saharan Africa to help them eradicate extreme poverty and to attain the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (MCI website). To fully realize a city‟s social and economic potential, needs assessments are conducted in many areas, including education, gender, water and sanitation, health and opportunities for economic development and foreign direct investment.
