Nanumba South District was carved out of the former Nanumba District under LI 1763, 2004 and inaugurated on 27th August 2004 with Wulensi as the district capital. 2. Located between Latitude 8.5o N & 9.0o N and Longitude 0.5oE & 0.5oW of the Greenwich Meridian, with a total land area of around 1,300sq km, the District is found in the eastern corridor of the Northern Region of Ghana and shares boundaries with: Zabzugu Tatale District and the Republic of Togo to the East; East Gonja to the West; Nkwanta District of the Volta Region to the South-East; and Nanumba North District to the North Kpandai District to the South-West 3. The Nanumba South District currently has one (1) constituency, twenty-eight (28) Electoral Areas, (3) Area Councils and thirty-eight (38) Unit Committees. The General Assembly of the District therefore comprises 41 Assembly Persons, 28 elected and 13 Government Appointees out of which 5 are women. Staffs of the Area Councils and all Unit Committees are also in place. 4. The lower structures of the Assembly however need more support to function properly in decision-making to give meaning to the decentralisation process. Our Vision 5. To be a peaceful District where quality agricultural and economic goods and services, educational and health care delivery are equitably accessible to all in a sustainable manner irrespective of gender. Our Mission 6. To facilitate the improvement of the quality of life of the people within the Assembly’s jurisdiction through the equitable provision of services for the total development of the district within the context of good governance Population size and growth rate The current population of the district is 93,464 (2010 Population and Housing Census) with an annual growth rate of 2.7% consisting of 147 communities. Age and Sex Composition 7. The ratio of male to female is 49.4: 50.6 and the population is basically youthful with about 52.1% between 0-18 years. As a result there is a slight change in the rate of growth i.e. from 2.8% to 2.7% per annum. STRUCTURE OF THE DISTRICT ECONOMY Agriculture 8. The major occupation of the people is agriculture. Conservative indications are that about 85% of the people are in this sector. Crops grown are roots and tubers, cereals, legumes and tree crops such as cashew and teak. The district is a net exporter of legumes, roots & tubers. According to data available, it is clear that Yam, Groundnuts, Maize and Cassava are produced in the district to feed other areas in the country. Farmers in yam cultivation mostly employ the bush fallow method in particular and shifting cultivation is mostly practiced among the Konkombas. And this has some effects on the provision of basic social infrastructure such as boreholes, toilet facilities, electricity, health care, etc. 9. Intermediaries for the urban markets (Accra and Kumasi) come to buy mainly yams throughout the year by big trucks, and this contributes positively to the economy at the household level as well as the district level. However, the road condition does not allow big trucks to directly access inland communities, and this hampers some farmers’ efforts to increase their income as lots of farm produce are locked up at farms. 10. Livestock and Poultry keeping are done by almost every household but on a small scale. Households keep cattle, sheep, pigs and fowls as a store of wealth. Fishing is yet another important agricultural activity carried out by the people (Ewes and Hausas) staying along the rivers. 11. Agriculture in this district is rain-fed and since food availability largely depends on production levels, which is also influenced by the weather as well as land, capital and labour, the lean period corresponds with the dry season, which lasts about six (6) months. 12.

It is bordered to the North by Nanumba South District, East Gonja to the West, Krachi West District to the South-West, Nkwanta North District to the East and Pru District in Brong Ahafo Region to the South The District has a total surface area of 1,772.04sqkm with water covering about 5%. The District is strategically located – the central point between the Northern part and Southern part of the Eastern corridor of Ghana. The District can therefore take advantage of its strategic location to be a gateway to both the Southern and Northern Ghana. Similarly, strategic facilities of national importance aimed at wider coverage for both the southern and northern Ghana can be conveniently located in the district to achieve the desired results. Being strategically located in the transitional zone, the district has the advantage of experiencing mixed climatic conditions that have both positive and adverse implications for the district‟s development.

  • The Land Factor in the Konkomba- Nanumba Crisis of 1981 a Historical Perspective

    The Land Factor in the Konkomba- Nanumba Crisis of 1981 a Historical Perspective

    The Land Factor in the Konkomba- Nanumba Crisis Of 1981 A Historical Perspective Cliff S. Maasole Dept. of Social, Political and Historical Studies University for Development Studies Wa, Ghana Email: [email protected] doi:10.4314/gjds.v8i1.3 Abstract In post-independent Ghana, over twenty ethnic conflicts have erupted in Northern Ghana. These conflicts can however be traced as far back to colonial land policies and treatments of ethnic interests of that part of Ghana. The Konkomba, in particular, have been involved in many such conflicts, largely over land and related resource. The period between the 1980s and 1990s were particularly tumultuous due the many inter-ethnic conflicts and armed confrontations. This paper examines one of such conflicts, which occurred in 1981 between theK onkomba and the Nanumba, both of the Northern Region of Ghana. It focuses on the historical antecedents of the war from pre-colonial to date to demonstrate how land has been a key issue. The analysis is informed by the results of an in-depth study that relied on secondary sources, archival materials and oral interviews. The study found that underneath the seemly cordial relations that had existed between the Konkomba and Nanumba in Nanun11prior to 1981 were tensions over territorial claims and land rights. It explains how mis-interpretation of ownership created the conditions for the war. It dwells in particular on the Alhassan Committee Report of 1978 and its role in inflaming the sentiments resulting in the violent outburst of 1981.

    Kpandai District Assembly

    REPUBLIC OF GHANA THE COMPOSITE BUDGET OF THE KPANDAI DISTRICT ASSEMBLY FOR THE 2016 FISCAL YEAR A. INTRODUCTION 1. Section 92 (3) of the local Government Act (Act 462) envisages the implementation of the composite budget system under which the budgets of the departments of the District Assemblies would be integrated into the budgets of the District Assemblies. The District Composite Budgeting system would achieve the following amongst others: Ensure that public funds follow functions and it will give meaning to the transfer of staff transfer from the Civil Service to the Local Government Service; Establish an effective integrated budgeting system which supports intended goals, expectation and performance of government; Deepen the uniform approach to planning, budgeting, financial reporting and auditing Facilitate harmonized development and introduce fiscal prudence in the management of public funds at the MMDA level. 2. In 2011, Government directed all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to prepare the composite budget which integrates departments under Schedule one of the Local Government Integration of Department Act LI 1961. This policy initiative will upscale full implementation of fiscal decentralization and ensure that the utilization of all public resources at the local level takes place in an efficient, effective, transparent and accountable manner for improved service delivery. 3. The Composite Budget of the Kpandai District Assembly for the 2016 Fiscal Year has been prepared from the 2016 Annual Action Plan lifted from the District Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP) which is base on the draft National Medium Term Development Framework (2014-2017). The Main thrust of the Budget is to accelerate the growth of the District Economy and increase access to both health and education so that Kpandai District Assembly can achieve Middle Income Status under a decentralized democratic environment.
