  • An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade
    High Trade Costs and Their Consequences: An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade Obie Porteous Online Appendix A1 Data: Market Selection Table A1, which begins on the next page, includes two lists of markets by country and town population (in thousands). Population data is from the most recent available national censuses as reported in various online databases (e.g. citypopulation.de) and should be taken as approximate as census years vary by country. The \ideal" list starts with the 178 towns with a population of at least 100,000 that are at least 200 kilometers apart1 (plain font). When two towns of over 100,000 population are closer than 200 kilometers the larger is chosen. An additional 85 towns (italics) on this list are either located at important transport hubs (road junctions or ports) or are additional major towns in countries with high initial population-to-market ratios. The \actual" list is my final network of 230 markets. This includes 218 of the 263 markets on my ideal list for which I was able to obtain price data (plain font) as well as an additional 12 markets with price data which are located close to 12 of the missing markets and which I therefore use as substitutes (italics). Table A2, which follows table A1, shows the population-to-market ratios by country for the two sets of markets. In the ideal list of markets, only Nigeria and Ethiopia | the two most populous countries | have population-to-market ratios above 4 million. In the final network, the three countries with more than two missing markets (Angola, Cameroon, and Uganda) are the only ones besides Nigeria and Ethiopia that are significantly above this threshold.

  • PART VII CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN for TOGO the Project on Corridor Development for West Africa Growth Ring Master Plan Final Report
    PART VII CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TOGO The Project on Corridor Development for West Africa Growth Ring Master Plan Final Report Chapter 26 National Development Strategies for Togo 26.1 Exiting National Development Plans 26.1.1 Review of the “Strategy on Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion”- Stratégie de Croissance Accélérée et de Promotion de l’Emploi (SCAPE) 2013-2017 (1) Objectives of the SCAPE 2013-2017 The Strategy on Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion (SCAPE: Stratégie de Croissance Accélérée et de Promotion de l'Emploi) of Togo offers a development framework for the medium term to achieve the General Political Declaration of the government, and the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals, as well as the vision of the authorities to make Togo into an emerging country within 15 to 20 years, respectful of human rights and promoting the rule of law. As such, the Togolese Government considers that there are four major challenges in the medium term for the period 2013-2017 to ensure the take-off of the Togolese economy and move towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. These are the challenges of accelerating economic growth, employment and greater regional and international integration of the Togolese economy; the challenge of governance; the socio-demographic challenge; and the challenge of urban development, spatial planning and environmental protection. (2) Major Points of the SCAPE 2013-2017 The economic policy of the Government in the medium term for the period 2012-2016 focuses mainly on laying down and strengthening the foundations of the future emergence of Togo. For this, it moves towards establishing new priorities which are: • Acceleration of growth; • Employment and inclusion; • Strengthening Governance • Reduction of regional disparities and promoting grassroots development.

  • Builsa South District
    BUILSA SOUTH 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 Builsa 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.
