  • Accra: City Scoping Study
    ACCRA: CITY SCOPING STUDY By Ransford A. Acheampong (The University of Manchester) June 2021 ACCRA: CITY SCOPING STUDY 2 Accra is the capital city of Ghana, the national economic centre and the country’s main connection with the global economy.1 The city’s role within the electoral swing region of Greater Accra is vital in deciding who wins the presidential elections, making Accra an important political arena for national political elites. Accra faces complex challenges in key areas, including economic development, housing, energy, water and sanitation and transportation. The city’s vibrant sub-national-level politics is strongly connected to and shaped by national-level politics, acting both as opportunities for and barriers to addressing complex urban challenges. HISTORY Accra’s rise from a trading post to a major coastal urban centre was driven by booming maritime trade with Europeans from the 15th century and the subsequent establishment of castles and forts.2 In 1877 it became the headquarters of the British colonial administration and subsequently the capital of the British Crown Colony, Gold Coast, and then Ghana.3 Rural–urban migration intensified in the period immediately after the Second World War, and a number of migrant towns, squatter settlements and slums emerged. In 1958 the Accra masterplan, ‘Accra: A plan for the town’, was prepared to drive an ambitious modernisation and transformation agenda for the new independent Ghana.4 ACCRA AND GHANA’S URBAN SYSTEM As the capital city, Accra is the most important economic and political centre in Ghana. Officially, Accra today covers the approximately 139.7 km2 administrative area known as the Accra Metropolitan Area (AMA).5 The AMA is the most urbanised area within the Greater Accra Region, one of the 16 administrative regions in Ghana.

  • The Boscaglia Vegetation Complex in Southern Somalia - Sandro Pignatti and Ahmed Mumin Warfa'
    ©Floristisch-soziologische Arbeitsgemeinschaft; www.tuexenia.de; download unter www.zobodat.at The Boscaglia Vegetation Complex in Southern Somalia - Sandro Pignatti and Ahmed Mumin Warfa' - s u m m a r y The boscaglia vegetation complex in Southern Somalia on fossil dunes is composed by 3 asso­ ciations: (a) the Gisekio-Tephrosietum, a xerophilous pasture with dominance of paleotropical weeds; (b) the Acacietim tortili-bussei, a thorny woodland with several Acacia-species and (c) the Justicio-Asystasietum gangeticae with sciaphilous species. Each of them is described in its floristical characters and dynamism. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Als Boscaglia wird ein Vegetationskomplex bezeichnet, der in Süd-Somalia auf fossilen Dünen vorkommt und aus 3 Assoziationen besteht: (a) das Gisekio-Tephrosietum, eine xerophile Weide­ gesellschaft mit Dominanz von paleotropischen Krautarten; (b) das Acacietwn tovtiii-bussei, ein stachliges Gebüsch mit mehreren Acacia-Arten und (c) das Justicio-Asystasietum mit eini­ gen Schattenpflanzen. Jede Gesellschaft wird in ihren floristischen Merkmalen und ihrer Dyna­ mik beschrieben. INTRODUCTION Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, is surrounded by a system of sand dunes. This subdesertic landscape is covered by an open community with dominance of several thorny Acacia-species alternating with xerophilous pastures. This vegetation (locally called "boscaglia") is broadly widespread in Southern Soma­ lia and reaches up to the suburbia of the town. During the summer semester 1981, the first of us was appointed as professor of systematic botany at the Agriculture Faculty of the Somali National University, and an investigation of this vegetation was carried out1). The first botanical survey of Southern Somalia was published by ROBECCHI-BRI- CHETTI (1899), and a more detailed study by PAOLI (1916).

  • American Committee on Africa a Report on the All African People's Conference Held in Accra, Ghana December 8-13, 1958 by George
    American Committee on Africa A Report on the All African People's Conference Held in Accra, Ghana December 8-13, 1958 by George M. Houser It was my privilege to attend the All African People's Conference held in Accra in December as a fraternal delegate. This report on the Conference represents only my own observations and opinions. Four others attended the Conference as representatives of the American Committee on Africa:William Scheinman, a New Jersey business man and member of the ACOA Executive Board, Frank Montero of New York, also an ACOA Executive Board member, Dr. Homer A. Jack of Chicago, ACOA National Committee member, and Richard Sklar, who has been in Africa several months on a fellowship from the Ford Foundation. It should be mentioned that there were a goodly number of Americans at the Conference as individual observers or as fraternal delegates from organizations. Among these were Congressman Charles Diggs of Detroit; Dr. Marguerite Cartwright; . Mrs. Mary-Louise Hooper of San Francisco who became a member of the South African delegation; Claude Barnett of the Associated Negro Press and his wife Etta Moten Barnett; Dr. Horace Mann Bond, Mercer Cook, and John Davis representing the American Society on African Culture; Irving Brown and Maida Springer of the AFL-CIO; Robert Keith of the African-American Institute; Mrs. Paul Robeson; Mrs. W. E. B. Dubois; Alphaeus Hunton, formerly Secretary of the now defunct Council on African Affairs; James Lawson of the United African Nationalist Movement, the remnant of Garveyism in the United States. Thus it can be seen that Americans at the Conference came from a number of varying backgrounds and represented differing political tendencies.

However, the region has a coastline of over 200 km, which means that tourism is a major industry. Accra, the capital of Ghana, is located in the region, which is the wealthiest region in the country. Owing to in-migration and a high population growth rate, however, the region has the highest population density. 1 Child Protection Baseline Research Report, 2014, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Accra, Ghana. The report also draws on information from the Regional Qualitative Reports, 2013, Government of Ghana/UNICEF; Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), 2011, Ghana Statistical Service; and Ghana Living Standards Survey Round 6 (GLSS 6), 2012/2013, Ghana Statistical Service 2 Ghana Statistical Service Census 2010 2 Greater Accra Regional Profile Child-protection concerns Overall, the influence of a crowded capital city and limited employment opportunities in rural areas means that more children are exposed to the temptations and hazards of urban life.

The findings were brought together and issued in 2017 as SHG’s 10-Year Plan up to 2027. The plan compiled the aspirations into five development pillars: altogether safer, altogether healthier, altogether a better place for children and young people, altogether greener, and altogether wealthier. The economic aspects of the plan have been elaborated to form SHG’s Sustainable Economic Development Plan for the period to 2028. Combined, these documents describe a future state for the social and economic situation in St Helena by 2030. During the past two years, an Independent Economic Review (IER) was undertaken of St Helena’s economic development status and to assess the viability and potential benefits of a refreshed economic development capital programme.
