AKOWUAH THERESAH …………………….. ………………… (PG1190713) SIGNATURE DATE CERTIFIED BY: PROF. K.D. KESSEY …………………….. ………………… (SUPERVISOR) SIGNATURE DATE CERTIFIED BY: DR. D. K. B. INKOOM …………………….. ………………… (HEAD OF DEPARTMENT) SIGNATURE DATE i ABSTRACT This study was carried out to assess the effects of MiDA’s rural infrastructure and community service intervention on rural development in the Ejura-Sekyedumase Municipality. Primary data were obtained through a questionnaire survey of 144 selected household heads from four communities namely Kasei, Kobriti, Aframso and Hiawoanwo. These communities were purposively selected because of the presence of rural infrastructure provided by MiDA. The data were analysed with descriptive statistics tools in SPSS. Analysis of the data revealed that the contributions of MiDA in the communities have been the provision of educational, water and warehouse facilities. As an effect, the respondents indicated an improved school participatory rate and increased access to potable water in the communities. However, it was found that the warehouse facility has not been used frequently as most farmers rate the service charges as expensive. From the analysis, it was found that while majority of the respondents did not participate towards the provision of the facilities, others participated at various levels including project identification and implementation. With regard to the maintenance and repair of the provided facilities, majority of the respondents indicated no knowledge of either a maintenance fund or a locally trained technician for repair works. Furthermore, most of the respondents attributed management of the educational facilities to the local assembly while management of the water and warehouse facilities were attributed to private caretakers. Most respondents raised concerns such as lack of prioritisation of needs, poor siting of facilities, mismanagement and high service cost as issues they believe do not go well with the interventions of MiDA. The study concludes that beneficiaries of such interventions will benefit more from such interventions if they participate fully to ensure that their pressing needs are provided. Therefore, the study recommends for more local participation in rural development interventions. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT All glory to the most high God for granting me the life, wisdom and protection through my years of study. I am indeed grateful to my supervisor, Professor K.D. Kessey for his guidance and supervision. Also, my sincere gratitude goes to Danny, Sammy and Wulonyo for their support in data collection. And to all others, respondents, assemblymen, and opinion leaders especially King Solomon, who availed themselves for questioning during the field survey, I am indeed grateful. It was due to their cooperation that this study was made possible. Finally to my family and friends especially the late Eli Yao Aidam, I am indeed grateful for your immense support and advice. Thank you, all. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ............................................................................................................. i ABSTRACT

  • Sekyere South District
    SEKYERE SOUTH DISTRICT 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 Sekyere South 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.
