  • Ownership and Access to Land in Urban Mamprugu, Northern Ghana
    Journal of Poverty, Investment and Development - An Open Access International Journal Vol.3 2014 Ownership and Access to Land in Urban Mamprugu, Northern Ghana Sagre Bambangi1 and Abdulai Abubakari2 Abstract This paper explores land ownership and access to land in the urban areas of Mamprugu in the Northern Region of Ghana. An overview of the system of land ownership and access in the rural areas for both residential and agricultural purposes has been used as a background for the understanding of the changes provoked by urbanization. The information used was qualitative through key informant interviews, observation and group discussions. The study revealed that land ownership and access in the traditional rural context was often in tranquility and rarely encountered conflicts. Occasional conflicts arising from the traditional rural arrangements were often easier to resolve. Also, the financial costs have been considered to be within the means of the average family or household in the locality. However, it was observed that access to land by women in the traditional framework subtly deprived women because of the patrilineal system of inheritance and the role assigned to women by the society. In the urban context, land ownership and access is in transition with a combination of traditional and modern institutions in land administration for residential and public infrastructure purposes. The study observed increasing incidence of land disputes in Mamprugu as urbanization progresses. It is recommended that the three district assemblies in Mamprugu in collaboration with the traditional authorities initiate a joint programme to address causes of the emerging problems in the few urban settlements.

  • CODEO's Statement on the Official Results of The
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CODEO’S STATEMENT ON THE OFFICIAL RESULTS OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS CONTACT Mr. Albert Arhin CODEO National Coordinator Phone: +233 (0) 24 474 6791 / (0) 20 822 1068 Secretariat: +233 (0) 244 350 266/ 0277 744 777 Email: [email protected] Website: www.codeoghana.org Thursday, December 10, 2020 Accra, Ghana Introduction On Sunday, December 6, 2020, the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO), in its press statement, communicated to the nation its intention to once again employ the Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) methodology to observe the 2020 presidential election, just as it did in 2008, 2012 and 2016. The PVT methodology is a reliable tool available to independent and non-partisan citizens’ election observer groups around the world for verifying the accuracy of official presidential elections results. In keeping with our protocols, which is that CODEO releases its PVT findings after the official results have been announced by the Electoral Commission, CODEO is here to release its PVT estimates for the presidential election. CODEO’s PVT estimates for the presidential results form part of its comprehensive election observation activities for the 2020 elections that covered voter registration exercise, pre-election environment observation for three months (September to November), and election day observation. The PVT Methodology The PVT is an advanced and scientific election observation technique that combines well-established statistical principles and Information Communication Technology (ICT) to observe elections. The PVT involves deploying trained accredited Observers to a nationally representative random sample of polling stations. On Election-Day, PVT Observers observe the entire polling process and transmit reports about the conduct of the polls and the official vote count in real-time to a central election observation database, using the Short Message Service (SMS) platform.

  • Comparison of the Profitability of Groundnut Production in West Mamprusi and Bunkpurugu-Yuyoo Districts in Northern Ghana J
    G.J.B.A.H.S.,Vol.3(2):144-151 (April –June, 2014) ISSN: 2319 – 5584 COMPARISON OF THE PROFITABILITY OF GROUNDNUT PRODUCTION IN WEST MAMPRUSI AND BUNKPURUGU-YUYOO DISTRICTS IN NORTHERN GHANA J. A. Akolgo;1 G. T. Kwadzo;2 & D. P. K. Amegashie;2 1Department of Ecological Agriculture, Bolgatanga Polytechnic, Ghana P. O. Box 767, Bolgatanga, Ghana. 2 Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, University of Ghana Abstract The study compared the profitability of groundnut production between Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo and West-Mamprusi districts in Northern Ghana. A Cobb -Douglas production function and gross income analysis were used in the analysis to determine the effect of “VAPAP” project on the profits of farmers in the two districts. It revealed that land size, capital, labour, experience and gender significantly influenced the output of groundnuts in the study area. The mean output per acre in Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo was 456.86kg of unshelled groundnuts whilst West-Mamprusi was 412.98kg with a mean difference of 43.89kg higher output in Bunkpurugu than West-Mamprusi at 1% significance level. A mean amount of Gh¢ 52.47 and Gh¢ 59.52 per acre were the cost of production in Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo and West-Mamprusi respectively. There was a mean difference of Gh¢7.0 higher cost of production per acre in West-Mamprusi than Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo at 1% significant level. A mean profit of Gh ¢ 77.25 and Gh¢ 42.50 were realized from Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo and West- Mamprusi respectively. The mean difference of the profit was Gh¢ 34.71 at 1% significance level.

  • Microfilms International 300 N ZEEB ROAD
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
