  • COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTRES (Cics) in the AGE of ICT: GHANA’S BLUEPRINT for ACTION
    MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTRES (CICs) IN THE AGE OF ICT: GHANA’S BLUEPRINT FOR ACTION Vision of CIC Concept The vision of the Community Information Centre concept is to create rural access centres and use the medium of ICT to promote community-based ICT applications that will promote operational efficiencies delivered through effective and timely availability of information. 2. Background There is an emerging new economic revolution and Ghana is determined to be part of it. Ghana is also determined that the benefits of the new economic revolution which requires the use of intensive and intelligent use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is not limited to the city and urban dwellers but to all corners of the country. This requires special government intervention for the underserved areas. The need to ensure that the rural dwellers and the underprivileged are not left out was a special demand in the declaration of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Governments, particularly those in the developing world are thus challenged to facilitate the provision of rural ICT access centres to become centres of learning and assist in bridging the digital divide between rural and urban communities Ghana’s ICT for Accelerated Development Policy also proposes the deployment and spread of ICTs in the Community as a way to improve the economic base and further accelerate growth and development towards transforming Ghana into an information society. 3. Project Definition The Community Information Centre model has been adopted to provide a hybrid not-for-profit community resource centre and for profit telecentre.

  • Case Studies of Three Localities in the Accra-Tema City-Region, Ghana
    ABSTRACT GEOGRAPHY OF URBAN WATER SECURITY AND VULNERABILITY: CASE STUDIES OF THREE LOCALITIES IN THE ACCRA-TEMA CITY-REGION, GHANA by Isaac Asante-Wusu Sub-Saharan Africa has been in the news for its water insecurity in the past few decades. The debates of water insecurity and vulnerability in sub-Saharan Africa center on water as an economic good vis. a human right, urbanization, urban water politics, water supply systems, water governance, and climate change. Yet, existing literature has been at best limited within the context of these issues to identify and take cognizance of the specific geographical contexts and locally-based attributes that drive water insecurity and vulnerabilities in the sub-region. This thesis interrogates the geography of urban water security and vulnerabilities in the Accra- Tema City-Region (ATCR) of Ghana through case studies of three localities. Field interviews with 16 institutional respondents and informants, and 36 heads of households, surveys, and mapping of surveyed houses are used. Based on realist epistemology and a content analysis the paper addresses three research questions. First, what is the state of water (in)security and vulnerability within localities with different class status and geographies? Second, why do specific water (in)securities and vulnerabilities present in these geographies with different socio-economic class status? Third, how can water be secured in these different geographies? The thesis produces two significant findings. First, both geography and socio-economic class of households influence household water insecurity and vulnerabilities. Second, centralized and disjointed nature of urban water provision, governance and management make the attainment of water security a difficult development goal.

INTRODUCTION In July 2007, the Cedi was re-denominated by removing four (4) zeros such that the ¢10,000 note was made equivalent to a new GH¢1 note. Among the expected benefits were that the re-denomination exercise would result in a reduction in transactions costs and overall risks of carrying large volumes of notes and also simplify accounting records. It was also anticipated that the re-denomination exercise would re- introduce the culture of coin usage in Ghana, reduce transactions volumes and time, facilitate the use of vendor machines and car parking meters, and ensure efficiency in payments systems.
