  • South Dayi District
    SOUTH DAYI 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 South Dayi 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.

  • MAC ADVICE Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing Activities
    MAC ADVICE Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities by Ghana’s industrial trawl sector and the European Union seafood market Brussels, 11 January 2021 1. Background The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) has published a report detailing ongoing and systemic illegal practices in Ghana’s bottom trawl industry1. The findings are indicative of a high risk that specific seafood species caught by, or in association with, illegal fishing practices continues to enter the EU market, and that EU consumers are inadvertently supporting illegal practices and severe overfishing in Ghana’s waters. This is having devastating impacts on local fishing communities, and the 2.7 million people in Ghana that rely on marine fisheries for their livelihoods2, as well as a negative impact on the image and reputation of those operators who are deploying good practices. The EU is Ghana’s main market for fisheries exports, accounting for around 85% of the country’s seafood export value in recent years3. In 2018, the EU imported 33,574 tonnes of fisheries products from Ghana, worth €157.3 million4. The vast majority of these imports involved processed and unprocessed tuna products, which are out of the scope of the present advice. 1 EJF (2020).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This is a study of the processes through which the former Togoland Trust Territory has come to constitute an integral part of modern Ghana. As the section of the country that was most recently appended, the territory has often seemed the most likely candidate for the eruption of separatist tendencies. The comparative weakness of such tendencies, in spite of economic crisis and governmental failure, deserves closer examination. This study adopts an approach which is local in focus (the area being Likpe), but one which endeavours at every stage to link the analysis to unfolding processes at the Regional and national levels.
