    REGIONAL ANALYTICAL REPORT UPPER EAST REGION Ghana Statistical Service June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Ghana Statistical Service Prepared by: ZMK Batse Festus Manu John K. Anarfi Edited by: Samuel K. Gaisie Chief Editor: Tom K.B. Kumekpor ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There cannot be any meaningful developmental activity 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, and socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. The Kilimanjaro Programme of Action on Population adopted by African countries in 1984 stressed the need for population to be considered as a key factor in the formulation of development strategies and plans. A population census is the most important source of data on the population in a country. It provides information on the size, composition, growth and distribution of the 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 resources, government services and the allocation of government funds among various regions and districts for education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users with an analytical report on the 2010 PHC at the regional level to facilitate planning and decision-making. This follows the publication of the National Analytical Report in May, 2013 which contained information on the 2010 PHC at the national level with regional comparisons. Conclusions and recommendations from these reports are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based policy formulation, planning, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programs.

  • Assessing Donkey Production and Management in Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District in the Northern Region of Ghana
    Journal of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science Volume 3, Issue 2, 2019, PP 1-5 ISSN 2637-5354 Assessing Donkey Production and Management in Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District in the Northern Region of Ghana *Tuaruka, L. and Agbolosu, A. A. Department of Animal Science, University for Development Studies, Ghana *Corresponding Author: Tuaruka, L. Department of Animal Science, University for Development Studies, Ghana ABSTRACT A study was carried out to ascertain the production and management of donkeys in some communities in the Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo district. Ten communities were purposively sampled and the donkey owners were sampled using snowball sampling. A total of 100 donkey owners were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires on biographical information of farmers, flock structure and management systems, feeding and watering, reproduction and breeding and diseases, mortality and management. Linear body measurements such as Heart girth circumference (HG), Height at withers (HW), Body length (BL), Neck length (NL) and Head length (HL) were taken on 144 donkeys. Donkey keeping is an important activity to farmers in the district. They provide cheap means of transport to farmers who cannot afford mechanical power. Their use for supplying water to household was ranked (1.31) as the most important role whereas carting of goods to market and farm implements to and from farms was the second most important role. The least role was for income generation. Donkeys roam and graze freely during the dry season but are tethered during the rainy season to graze. The animals mate randomly at pastures. Sores on the skin, worm infestation and foot diseases were some of the diseases conditions identified.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

  • LAND DEGRADATION in the UPPER EAST REGION of Ghana, WEST AFRICA RICHARD ASHALEY
    LAND DEGRADATION IN THE UPPER EAST REGION OF GHANa, WEST AFRICA RICHARD ASHALEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOW CENTER FOR POLICY INTEGRATION AND RESOURCES MANAGEMNT (CPIRM) RURAL URBAN PARTNERSHIP FOR AFRICA (RUPFA) The Upper East region is the smallest and yet, one of the poorest in the country. It is located in the north-eastern corner of the country (Ghana) between longitude 00 and 10 West and latitudes 100 30 N and 110 N. It is bordered to the north by Burkina Faso, the east by the Republic of Togo, the west by the Sissala District (Tumu) in Upper West and the south by the West Mamprusi District (Walewale) in Northern Region. It has the highest population density (number of people per unit land area) in the country. The region has 9 administrative Districts/Municipalities namely; Builsa, Kassena-Nankana East, Kassena-Nankana West, Bongo, Bolgatanga, Bawku West, Bawku East, Talensi - Nabdam and Garu Tempane. The land is relatively flat with a few hills to the East ( Sapeliga areas) and southeast (Tongo areas). The total land area of the region is about 8,842 sq km, which translates into 2.7 per cent of the total land area of the country. The region falls within the Guinea Savannah zone. However, the Bawku area located in the eastern corner of the region is characteristically a Sudan savanna. These two ecological zones are characterized by savannah woodland and consist mostly of deciduous, widely spaced fire and drought resistant, trees of varying sizes and density with dispersed perennial grasses and associated herbs. These trees satisfy domestic requirements for fuel wood and timber for local housing construction, cattle kraals, vegetable garden fences and materials for handicraft.
