Below are some objectives that the Composite Budget aims at achieving. 1. Facilitate and harmonize development as well as introduce fiscal discipline in the management of public fund 2. To deepen uniform approach to Planning, Budgeting, Financial reporting and Auditing 3. Establish an effective integrated budgeting system that will support intended goals, expectation and performance of government at the local level In 2011 Composite Budget system was introduced aimed at integrating departments under schedule one departments into one broad budget. The composite budget of South Tongu District Assembly for 2016 financial year has been prepared from the 2016 annual action plan which was lifted from the Medium Term Development Plan that is aligned to the national Medium Term Development policy Framework for 2016-2018 ESTABLISHMENT The South Tongu District Assembly was established by Legislative Instrument 1466 (LI 1466) in 1989 with Sogakope as its capital town. POPULATION According to 2010 Population and Housing Census Report, the District has a population of 87,950 of which 45.5 percent are males and 54.5 percent females. The population density is about 136 persons per square kilometre. It is thus high in communities along the major roads and in few other communities where the road network is good. However it is sparse in North- Eastern and South Eastern parts. The District is largely rural with a majority of 87.1 percent in this locality and only 12.9 percent living in the urban settings. DISTRICT ECONOMY AGRICULTURE The South Tongu is a typical agrarian District where agriculture employs close to 46.4 percent of the economically active population. According to 2012 Annual District Directorate of Agriculture Report, the average agricultural land holding is about one hectare per household. The District abounds in potentials for large scale production of rice and sugarcane. Livestock and fishing are also practiced on large scale. About 52% of the active population is engaged in agriculture in the District. Rice is being cultivated on about 3,500 3 hectares of land by two (2) large scale (heavily mechanized) multinational rice production companies in the District. Other food crops cultivated are maize, cassava, tomatoes and okro. Pepper/chilli farming predominates as the main cash crop. The District Assembly is in partnership with Afro Asian Rural Development Organisation (AARDO) which is financially supporting over 200 farmers to produce chilli pepper mainly for export. ROADS The District has estimated partially engineered roads of about 231.22kms out of this, about 45kms stretched of feeder roads are tarred. Also, the main Accra-Aflao road which runs through Sogakope town is tarred. There are many other feeder roads linking various communities in the District which have also seen a lot of reshaping, spot improvement and surfacing. EDUCATION According to GES Sector Annual Review Report-2014, there are two hundred and ninety nine (299) educational institutions operating within the District. There are a total of 288 basic schools. Public Basic schools account for 212 whiles Private Basic schools account for 76.

There are a number of traditional herbalists and healers also operating in the rural areas within the district. ENVIRONMENT The District is located within the Coastal Savannah Vegetation Zone. The southern section is covered with swamps and mangroves, while the northern section is predominantly Savannah Woodland. The savannah vegetation supports the production of livestock and the swampy areas favors the cultivation of Rice, Okro, Pepper and Sugar Cane. The District is endowed with large clay deposits at Lolito, Vume and Sokpoe communities which are predicted by geologists to last for over 100 years if it is mined commercially and in a sustainable way. There are also sand deposits in commercial quantities which can be mined. TOURISM The Volta River flows through the district. The river however is endowed in the production of fish such as Tilapia and fresh water Clam locally called “Adodi”, it also offers opportunity for a variety of water sports, fishing, wind surfing etc. Currently a Ghana High Ways owned passenger boat which plies Akuse-Ada-Foah stopping en route at Sogakope, Tefle, Agordomi, Sokpoe, vume and Agave.

    REGIONAL ANALYTICAL REPORT VOLTA REGION Ghana Statistical Service June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Ghana Statistical Service Prepared by: Martin K. Yeboah Augusta Okantey Emmanuel Nii Okang Tawiah Edited by: N.N.N. Nsowah-Nuamah Chief Editor: Nii Bentsi-Enchill ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There cannot be any meaningful developmental activity 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, and socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. The Kilimanjaro Programme of Action on Population adopted by African countries in 1984 stressed the need for population to be considered as a key factor in the formulation of development strategies and plans. A population census is the most important source of data on the population in a country. It provides information on the size, composition, growth and distribution of the 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 resources, government services and the allocation of government funds among various regions and districts for education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users with an analytical report on the 2010 PHC at the regional level to facilitate planning and decision-making. This follows the publication of the National Analytical Report in May, 2013 which contained information on the 2010 PHC at the national level with regional comparisons. Conclusions and recommendations from these reports are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based policy formulation, planning, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programs.

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.

    ENGAGEMENT OF A FIRM FOR DATA COLLECTION IN THE VOLTA REGION OF GHANA FOR THE GHANA NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD REGISTRY (GNHR) P164603 CR No 6337-GH REF No.: GH-MOGCSP-190902-CS-QCBS I. BACKGROUND & CONTEXT The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP) as a responsible institution to coordinate the implementation of the country’s social protection system has proposed the establishment of the Ghana National Household Registry (GNHR), as a tool that serves to assist social protection programs to identify, prioritize, and select households living in vulnerable conditions to ensure that different social programs effectively reach their target populations. The GNHR involves the registry of households and collection of basic information on their social- economic status. The data from the registry can then be shared across programs. In this context, the GNHR will have the following specific objectives: a) Facilitate the categorization of potential beneficiaries for social programs in an objective, homogeneous and equitable manner. b) Support the inter-institutional coordination to improve the impact of social spending and the elimination of duplication c) Allow the design and implementation of accurate socioeconomic diagnoses of poor people, to support development of plans, and the design and development of specific programs targeted to vulnerable and/or low-income groups. d) Contribute to institutional strengthening of the MoGCSP, through the implementation of a reliable and central database of vulnerable groups. For the implementation of the Ghana National Household Registry, the MoGCSP has decided to use a household evaluation mechanism based on a Proxy Means Test (PMT) model, on which welfare is determined using indirect indicators that collectively approximate the socioeconomic status of individuals or households.

    Ayeh‑Kumi et al. BMC Res Notes (2016) 9:242 DOI 10.1186/s13104-016-2025-3 BMC Research Notes RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Malaria, helminths and malnutrition: a cross‑sectional survey of school children in the South‑Tongu district of Ghana Patrick Ferdinand Ayeh‑Kumi1, Kantanka Addo‑Osafo2, Simon Kwaku Attah2*, Patience Borkor Tetteh‑Quarcoo2, Noah Obeng‑Nkrumah3, Georgina Awuah‑Mensah3, Harriet Naa Afia Abbey3, Akua Forson3, Momodou Cham4, Listowell Asare4, Kwabena Obeng Duedu5 and Richard Harry Asmah1 Abstract Background: As part of malaria characterization study in the South-Tongu district of Ghana, the current study was conducted to explore relationships between malaria, schistosomiasis, soil transmitted helminths and malnutrition in riparian community settings that had hitherto encountered episodes of mass deworming exercises. Methods: School-age children were enrolled in a cross-sectional study from April through July 2012. Stool and urine samples were examined respectively for helminths and Schistosoma haematobium. Blood samples were analyzed for malaria parasites and haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations, respectively. Anthropometric indices were measured. Rela‑ tionships were determined using generalized linear models. Results: The results show low numbers of asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum (9.2 %, n 37/404) and S. haema- tobium (2.5 %, n 10/404) infections. The associations between significance terms in the =multivariate analysis for P. falciparum infections= were further assessed to test the significance of the product terms directly i.e., age in years [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 3.1; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.1–5.6], Hb concentration (AOR 0.71; 95 % CI 0.42–2.3), and stunted malnutrition (AOR, 8.72; 95 % CI 4.8–25.1).

  • Chapter 8 Preliminary Design for Upgrading of Asutsuare–Aveyime Road
    CHAPTER 8 PRELIMINARY DESIGN FOR UPGRADING OF ASUTSUARE–AVEYIME ROAD Preparatory Survey on Eastern Corridor Development Project in the Republic of Ghana Final Report Chapter 8 Preliminary Design for Upgrading of Asutsuare – Aveyime Road Chapter 8 Preliminary Design for Upgrading the Asutsuare – Aveyime Road 8.1 Justification for Upgrading the Asutsuare – Aveyime Road In the first phase of the Study, various positive impacts of upgrading the Asutsuare – Aveyime road were identified: 1) to connect the Green Belt area of Ghana, where there is great potential for agricultural production, particularly rice by an inter-regional standard road and thus facilitate the transportation of agricultural products, 2) to attract more investment in agricultural development along the road, in collaboration with implementation of the APGIP scheme, and 3) to provide direct access between the Eastern Corridor and N1 along the Volta River. In view of these positive impacts, the Study Team considered that it is worth carrying out the F/S on upgrading the Asutsuare–Aveyime road. 8.2 Preliminary Design of Road 8.2.1 Road Category According to the GHA, the category of feeder road Asutsuare–Aveyime will be changed in part to an inter-regional road connecting Somanya and N1 via Akuse, Asutuare, and Aveyime after the improvement is completed. The existing feeder road Asutsuare–Aveyime is a gravel road about 6.0 m wide for 24 km. This road passes through the centres of Asutsuare, Volivo and Aveyime townships. Lukpe Source: Study Team Figure 8-1 Location of Asutsuare–Aveyime Road 8.2.2 Horizontal and Vertical Alignment (1) Design Geometric Standard After the completion of upgrading, the Asutsuare – Aveyime road will be categorised as an inter-regional road (trunk road) from the current feeder road.

  • Citizens' Participation in The
    International Journal of Community and Cooperative Studies Vol.7 No.1, pp.11-29, March 2019 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) CITIZENS’ PARTICIPATION IN THE DECENTRALIZATION PROCESS IN GHANA Vincent, N. K. Ayim: Akatsi College of Education Alfred, Dorgbetor: Akatsi College of Education Ambrose, Agbetorwoka: Akatsi College of Education ABSTRACT: Participation in decision-making is the root of democratization, as democratization is widely believed to be rooted in decentralization. As such, citizens’ participation in the decentralization process will bring governance closer to the people. The focus of the study was to explore the views and understandings of citizens about Ghana’s decentralization process. The researcher used the case study design for the study. Both questionnaire and interview protocol were used for data gathering. One hundred and six people in the area were conveniently sampled to become respondents in the study. For the method of data analysis, the researcher used tables and percentages. The study found out that nearly 25% of the citizens have no or very little understanding of the decentralization process. Even though majority of the citizens took part in local elections, the citizens were not part of the decision making process, planning of developmental projects and paying taxes/levies to the district assembly. The non-performance of Unit Committee Members were found to be the cause of citizens’ non-participation in the decentralization programme even though there were other factors that generally affected the programme in the North Tongu District. The study recommended that the need for some more education in the Decentralization Process for all citizens.
