Small-Scale Dams Water Quality and the Possible Health Risk to Users of the Water in the Upper West Region of Ghana
European Scientific Journal May 2014 edition vol.10, No.14 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 SMALL-SCALE DAMS WATER QUALITY AND THE POSSIBLE HEALTH RISK TO USERS OF THE WATER IN THE UPPER WEST REGION OF GHANA Rev. Dr. Kpieta B. Alfred Laari B. Prosper Department of Environment and Resource Studies, University for Development Studies, Wa Campus, Ghana Abstract Small-Scale Dams water quality plays a significant role in water- related disease control among human populations in third world nations. The inadequacy of quality drinking water and the poor management practices of dams in developing countries make these reservoirs’ water unsuitable for domestic household uses. The study therefore sought to find out the small- scale dams water quality; and also to find out the extent of health-risk users of these reservoirs water are exposed to in dam communities of the Upper West Region of Ghana Water samples were drawn at different intervals and chemically analysed in the Water Laboratory of Ghana Water Company Limited, Bolgatanga, to find out their suitability for human consumption. The research finding reveals a high level of pollution of the reservoirs. There is a high level of faecal pollution ranging between 10 and 65MPN Index of World Health Organization (WHO) and Ghana Standard Board (GSB). The turbidity levels of almost all the reservoirs are also far above the WHO and GSB Ghana Standard Board (GSB) stipulated drinking water levels. Also, the nitrate and nitrite levels in some of the reservoirs are higher than the WHO and GSB given levels of dam water. -

Access to Maternal Healthcare Services Under the National Health Insurance Policy in the Upper West Region, Ghana Ibrahim Abu Abdulai and Abdul-Moomin Adams
Chapter Access to Maternal Healthcare Services under the National Health Insurance Policy in the Upper West Region, Ghana Ibrahim Abu Abdulai and Abdul-Moomin Adams Abstract Health insurance coverage provides the spring board for pregnant women to access and utilise maternal healthcare services. Yet, studies on health insurance coverage, access and utilisation of maternal healthcare are a handful. Consequently, this study examines women’s access and utilisation of maternal healthcare services under the free maternal health policy in two districts in northern Ghana. The study adopted the mixed research approach with the aid of the cross-sectional design involving 212 respondents. An interview schedule was utilised in the collection of data. Percentages, Chi-square test for independence and Mann-Whitney U test as well as thematic analysis were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that 93.9% of the respondents had enrolled unto the national health insurance scheme and 98.6% of them went for antennal care. Majority (66.5%) of them had facility- based delivery. However, 79.7% of them incur cost in seeking delivery care. In brief, health insurance coverage appears to contribute to improved access and utilisation of maternal healthcare services in the two districts. Nonetheless, the government should provide the basic items that are needed for delivery to lessen the cost burden associated with facility-based delivery. Keywords: healthcare, health, insurance, maternal, Ghana 1. Introduction Access to healthcare including maternal healthcare services drives public health policies across the globe [1–3]. According to Ribot [4], access connotes the ability to make use of a resource. -
Wa East District Assembly Funsi Annual Progress
MNISTRY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT WA EAST DISTRICT ASSEMBLY FUNSI ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 2016 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FEBRUARY, 2017 District Location and Size The Wa East district was carved out of the former Wa District and made a district by L.I 1746 in July 2004. The district is located in the south eastern part of the Upper West region. Funsi, the district capital is about 115km away from Wa which is the regional capital. The district shares boundaries with West Mamprusi to the northwest, West Gonja to southeast, Wa Municipality to the Southwest, Nadowli to the North east and the Sissala East districts to the north. The districts’ closeness to West Mamprusi and West Gonja in the Northern region could promote inter regional trade when well linked by road. It has a landmass of about 3,196.4km², which is located between latitudes 9º 55”n and 10º 25”n and longitude 1º 10”w and 2º 5”w. The district occupies 17.3% of the total landmass of the region (18,478.4Km2). The remoteness of the district relative to other districts of the region has deprived it of the needed investment from the private sector which has led to woefully, inadequate basic social and economic infrastructure and services. Topography and Drainage The topography of the district could be described as gently undulating. Generally, the district is located about 180 meters above sea level with a few isolated hills. The relative plain topography is suitable for road construction, distribution of utility lines and general construction works. -
HAYTAFORD Harnessing Youthful Talents for Rural Development
HAYTAFORD Harnessing Youthful Talents for Rural Development PROPOSAL IN SUPPORT OF A PROJECT VEHICLE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WORK IN UPPER WEST REGION OF GHANA Introduction This proposal seeks assistance for a project vehicle in order to increase HAYTAFORD’s outreach support to improve the community and education lives of poor people in Wa East district and other inaccessible communities in the Upper West Region of Ghana. Focus of HAYTAFORD HAYTAFORD is a youth led local NGO which has been working closely with local based structures at the community level. HAYTAFORD complements the efforts of government in the provision of quality basic education for all children especially those at the basic level. HAYTAFORD's work is based on the conviction that providing school infrastructure, recruiting teachers and sending children to school alone will not ensure quality basic education for all. There is the need to empower and involve all stakeholders particularly Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs), School Management Committees (SMCs), Chiefs and Assembly persons at the grassroots in school planning, decision making local education policy formulation, implementation and monitoring of the benefits. The intervention of HAYTAFORD as a civil society organization is progressively increasing particularly in the Upper West Region. From a humble beginning of one district (Nadowli) we now reach out to four districts namely Nadowli/Kaleo, Daffiamah /Bussie /Issah, Wa municipal and Wa East). HAYTAFORD has a broad based constituents who are mostly very committed and people interested in their development though they are poor. We represent some of the most vulnerable groups notably over 1,000 Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) in Nadowli District alone, children and poor girls. -

2010 Population and Housing Census
WA WEST Copyright (c) 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 Wa West 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. -

Migration As an Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change: Influencing Factors in North-Western Ghana
Journal of Sustainable Development; Vol. 10, No. 6; 2017 ISSN 1913-9063 E-ISSN 1913-9071 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Migration as an Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change: Influencing Factors in North-western Ghana Nicholas Fielmua1, Dugle Gordon1 & Darius T. Mwingyine1 1 University for Development Studies, Wa, Ghana Correspondence: Nicholas Fielmua, University for Development Studies, P.O. Box UPW 11, Wa, UWR, Ghana. Tel: 233-2-4325-5001. E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 20, 2017 Accepted: October 5, 2017 Online Published: November 29, 2017 doi:10.5539/jsd.v10n6p155 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v10n6p155 Abstract Climate change has attracted the attention of all stakeholders, ranging from individuals in the household through to global organisations in the international community. As an inevitable phenomenon at the moment, adaptation is the key response to minimising the unfavourable effects of climate change. While there are several adaptation strategies, rural areas mostly use migration as an ultimate and most reliable option. Rural migration in Ghana is mostly from the north to the south. This paper examines the factors that influence individuals and households’ decision to use migration as an adaptation strategy to climate change effects in North-western Ghana. Data was collected using household questionnaire in four communities and analysed using statistical package for social science, version 20.0. The study established that although there are other reasons for migration, it is used essentially as an adaptation strategy to the effects of climate change on livelihood. The study concludes that the debate on climate change and migration should no longer be whether climate change causes human migration but how the effects of climate change influence migrants’ resolve to migrate as an adaptation strategy.
