Ministry of Health No. The Republic of Ghana BASIC DESIGN STUDY REPORT ON THE PROJECT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT IN UPPER WEST REGION IN THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA October 2006 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY INTERNATIONAL TECHNO CENTER CO., LTD. GM JR 06-184 Ministry of Health The Republic of Ghana BASIC DESIGN STUDY REPORT ON THE PROJECT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT IN UPPER WEST REGION IN THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA October 2006 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY INTERNATIONAL TECHNO CENTER CO., LTD. Preface In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of Ghana, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a basic design study on the Project for Improvement of Medical Equipment in Upper West Region and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Ghana a study team from May 14 to June 8, 2006. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Ghana, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Ghana in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Ghana for their close cooperation extended to the teams. October 2006 Masafumi Kuroki Vice-President Japan International Cooperation Agency October 2006 Letter of Transmittal We are pleased to submit to you the basic design study report on the Project for Improvement of Medical Equipment in Upper West Region in the Republic of Ghana. -

Small-Scale Dams Water Quality and the Possible Health Risk to Users of the Water in the Upper West Region of Ghana
European Scientific Journal May 2014 edition vol.10, No.14 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 SMALL-SCALE DAMS WATER QUALITY AND THE POSSIBLE HEALTH RISK TO USERS OF THE WATER IN THE UPPER WEST REGION OF GHANA Rev. Dr. Kpieta B. Alfred Laari B. Prosper Department of Environment and Resource Studies, University for Development Studies, Wa Campus, Ghana Abstract Small-Scale Dams water quality plays a significant role in water- related disease control among human populations in third world nations. The inadequacy of quality drinking water and the poor management practices of dams in developing countries make these reservoirs’ water unsuitable for domestic household uses. The study therefore sought to find out the small- scale dams water quality; and also to find out the extent of health-risk users of these reservoirs water are exposed to in dam communities of the Upper West Region of Ghana Water samples were drawn at different intervals and chemically analysed in the Water Laboratory of Ghana Water Company Limited, Bolgatanga, to find out their suitability for human consumption. The research finding reveals a high level of pollution of the reservoirs. There is a high level of faecal pollution ranging between 10 and 65MPN Index of World Health Organization (WHO) and Ghana Standard Board (GSB). The turbidity levels of almost all the reservoirs are also far above the WHO and GSB Ghana Standard Board (GSB) stipulated drinking water levels. Also, the nitrate and nitrite levels in some of the reservoirs are higher than the WHO and GSB given levels of dam water. -

HAYTAFORD Harnessing Youthful Talents for Rural Development
HAYTAFORD Harnessing Youthful Talents for Rural Development PROPOSAL IN SUPPORT OF A PROJECT VEHICLE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WORK IN UPPER WEST REGION OF GHANA Introduction This proposal seeks assistance for a project vehicle in order to increase HAYTAFORD’s outreach support to improve the community and education lives of poor people in Wa East district and other inaccessible communities in the Upper West Region of Ghana. Focus of HAYTAFORD HAYTAFORD is a youth led local NGO which has been working closely with local based structures at the community level. HAYTAFORD complements the efforts of government in the provision of quality basic education for all children especially those at the basic level. HAYTAFORD's work is based on the conviction that providing school infrastructure, recruiting teachers and sending children to school alone will not ensure quality basic education for all. There is the need to empower and involve all stakeholders particularly Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs), School Management Committees (SMCs), Chiefs and Assembly persons at the grassroots in school planning, decision making local education policy formulation, implementation and monitoring of the benefits. The intervention of HAYTAFORD as a civil society organization is progressively increasing particularly in the Upper West Region. From a humble beginning of one district (Nadowli) we now reach out to four districts namely Nadowli/Kaleo, Daffiamah /Bussie /Issah, Wa municipal and Wa East). HAYTAFORD has a broad based constituents who are mostly very committed and people interested in their development though they are poor. We represent some of the most vulnerable groups notably over 1,000 Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) in Nadowli District alone, children and poor girls. -

100623 Iptghana Vol 07 Multicriteria Evaluation Manual
Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning Republic of Ghana Integrated Transport Plan for Ghana Volume 7: Multi-criteria Evaluation Manual Final Version June 2010 Financed by the 9th European Development Fund Service Contract N° 9 ACP GH019 In association with Egis Bceom International Executive Summary According to the Terms of Reference, the objective of this component of the Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) is to establish a methodology for carrying out economic, financial, social and environmental evaluation of projects. The revised work plan suggests to take into account in the evaluation process, additional aspects such as strategic access, inter and intra modal integration, and local access. At the long term planning level of the ITP, the projects under consideration are defined at identification or pre-feasibility stage. Therefore, the evaluation process cannot be as detailed as it would be at the feasibility/implementation stage. In general, the data used consists of secondary source data, although some primary specific survey data may be available (e.g. traffic counts and survey). Cost estimates are generally based on standard costs (e.g. costs per kilometer) since in-depth engineering studies are not yet carried out. The purpose of the evaluation carried out at long term planning level is to select the projects which best fit the goals of the national transport policy which are, in particular, to provide a sustainable, accessible, affordable, reliable, effective and efficient transport system. The proposed evaluation process described in this manual enables scoring the candidate projects according to a set of relevant criteria. The diagram below shows the positioning of this manual in the overall project planning and implementing process that encompasses the following steps: Long term planning is undertaken using two main tools: • The transport model is used to develop a model for transport demand and supply. -
