NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY LIST OF AUTHORISED VHF-FM RADIO STATIONS IN GHANA AS AT SECOND QUARTER, 2019 Page 1 of 73 OVERVIEW OF FM RADIO BROADCASTING STATIONS IN GHANA Section 2 of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008, Act 775 mandates that the National Communications Authority “shall regulate the radio spectrum designated or allocated for use by broadcasting organisations and providers of broadcasting services”; “… determine technical and other standards and issue guidelines for the operation of broadcasting organisations …” “… may adopt policies to cater for rural communities and for this purpose may waive fees wholly or in part for the grant of a frequency authorisation”. The Broadcasting service is a communication service in which the transmissions are intended for direct reception by the general public. The sound broadcasting service involves the broadcasting of sound which may be accompanied by associated text/data. Sound broadcasting is currently deployed in Ghana using analogue transmission techniques: Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). Over the last two decades, AM sound broadcasting has faded, leaving FM radio as the only form of sound broadcasting in Ghana. FM radio broadcasting stations are classified for the purpose of regulatory administration of the service towards the attainment of efficient use of frequency. The following is the classification of FM radio broadcasting stations in Ghana. (1) Classification by Purpose: a) Public – all stations owned and operated by the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) and/or any other station established by the Government of Ghana by a statutory enactment. b) Public Foreign – stations established by Foreign Governments through diplomatic arrangements to rebroadcast/relay content from foreign countries e.g. BBC, RFI, VoA. c) Commercial – those that are privately owned and operated for profit and controlled privately by independent commercial groups or individuals d) Community - a non-profit broadcasting service provided for a specific marginalised community by a radio or television station whose ownership and management are representative of the community for which the service is provided e) Campus – a station operated within the ambit of educational institutions (2) Coverage classification: a) Maximum coverage radius is 45km for Commercial and Public Foreign FM radio broadcasting stations. Page 2 of 73 b) Maximum coverage radius for Community and Campus FM radio broadcasting stations is 5km. In cases where the definition of the community and the terrain require a variation, the Authority shall make extensions to the coverage area but this shall not exceed 25km in any case. c) There is no coverage limitation on the Public FM radio broadcasting stations. d) The signal strength at the periphery of the coverage circle/contour with the authorised radius shall not exceed 54 dB(µV/m). This does not mean the station cannot be heard beyond the circle/contour, because the ITU Recommendation BS.412-9 gives a field strength requirement of 34 dBμV/m for ‘acceptable’ service. The Geneva 1984 Agreement governing Sound Broadcasting services in the frequency band 87.5 – 108 MHz sets the field strength of 54 dB( V/m) as the threshold for coordination of the FM radio broadcasting service in the frequency band. (3) Location classification: a) Urban Type 1: - For the major metropolitan assemblies e.g. Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi. b) Urban Type 2: For the other metropolitan cities that are not as economically viable as the above cities such as Tamale and Cape Coast, as well as the other regional capitals such as Koforidua, Sekondi, Ho, Bolgatanga, Sunyani, and Wa. c) Sub-Urban Type 1: For the capital of some municipal assemblies and some major towns, e.g. Tarkwa, Oda, Berekum etc. d) Sub-Urban Type 2: For locations that have moderate economic activity and moderate population, including some district capitals such as Bibiani, Sefwi Bekwai, Somanya etc. e) Rural - The rest of the country.

  • The Perception of Farmers in Akyem Adukrom, Eastern Region of Ghana, on Using Reclaimed Mined-Out Areas for Crop Production

    The Perception of Farmers in Akyem Adukrom, Eastern Region of Ghana, on Using Reclaimed Mined-Out Areas for Crop Production

    Land Restoration Training Programme Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland Final project 2014 THE PERCEPTION OF FARMERS IN AKYEM ADUKROM, EASTERN REGION OF GHANA, ON USING RECLAIMED MINED-OUT AREAS FOR CROP PRODUCTION Irene Jemilatu Yaro Environmental Protection Agency P.O Box KF 725, Koforidua – Eastern Region, Ghana. [email protected] Supervisor Thorunn Petursdottir Soil Conservation Service of Iceland (SCSI) [email protected] ABSTRACT The gold mining sector in Ghana contributes substantially to the socio-economic development of the country. Unfortunately, gold mining also causes severe environmental and social problems such as ecosystem degradation that affects the livelihoods of farmers. According to Ghana’s laws, mining companies are obliged to reclaim mined-out areas and make them safe for crop production. Currently, over 1 million ha of mined land have been reclaimed and handed back to the previous land users. However, some farmers seem reluctant to cultivate these reclaimed areas. To get an insight in how successful these reclamation activities are in practice, 20 farmers that are currently farming on reclaimed mined-out areas by the gold mine company “Managing Gods’ Resources Limited” in Akyem Adukrom were interviewed about their experience and perception of cultivating the same area before mining and after reclamation and their involvement in the reclamation process. The result strongly indicated that even though in a few cases some crops seemed to be doing better on reclaimed areas than before mining, the reclaimed areas are not as fertile and productive as they were before mining. However, 16 farmers stated that reclaimed areas were as fertile as they were before mining and would recommend the cultivation of such lands to other farmers.

    Addressing the Causes and Consequences of the Farmer-Herder Conflict in Ghana [ Margaret Adomako]

    KOFI ANNAN INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING TRAINING CENTRE POLICY BRIEF 6 | September 2019 Addressing the Causes and Consequences of the Farmer-Herder Conflict in Ghana [ Margaret Adomako] SUMMARY For several years, tensions have existed between local farmers and Fulani herdsmen in Ghana. However, various factors have recently, contributed to the tensions taking on a violent nature and becoming one of Ghana’s foremost security threats. Based on an extensive fieldwork conducted in 2016/2017, this policy brief discusses the causes of the Farmer-herder conflict and its consequences on the security, social and economic structures of the country. It looks at the shortfalls of Operation Cowleg, the major intervention that has been implemented by the state and concludes with a few policy relevant recommendations which includes a nationwide registration of herdsmen to support the government in the implementation of an effective taxation system.

The report is based on weekly reports filed by 65 Long-Term Observers (LTOs) deployed across 65 selected constituencies throughout the country. The observers have been monitoring the general electoral and political environment including the activities of key election stakeholders such as the Electoral Commission (EC), the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), political parties, the security agencies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and religious and traditional leaders. Below are key findings from CODEO’s observation during the period. Summary of Findings: • Similar to CODEO’s observations in the month of September 2020, civic and voter education activities were generally low across the various constituencies. • There continues to be generally low visibility of election support activities by CSOs, particularly those aimed at peace promotion. • COVID-19 health and safety protocols were not adhered to during some political party activities. • The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) remain the most visible political parties in the constituencies observed as far as political and campaign- related activities are concerned. Main Findings Preparatory Activities by the Electoral Commission Observer reports showed intensified preparatory activities by the EC towards the December 7, 2020 elections.

  • Vowel Height Agreement in Ewe

    Vowel Height Agreement in Ewe

    Journal of Applied Linguistics and Language Research Volume 4, Issue 7, 2017, pp. 206-216 Available online at www.jallr.com ISSN: 2376-760X Vowel Height Agreement in Ewe Pascal Kpodo * University of Education, Winneba, Ghana Abstract This paper seeks to give a descriptive account of a vowel height feature agreement process in Ewe. The paper establishes that the height agreement process is neither height harmony nor metaphony. The paper further demonstrates the systematic difference between the coastal dialects and the inland dialects of Ewe in relation to the vowel height agreement process. The height agreement occurs in the cliticization of diminutive marker to nouns and adjectives as well as the cliticization of the 3rd person singular object pronominal to verbs. While the agreement process is host controlled in the inland (Ʋedome) dialects of Ewe, it is enclitic controlled in the coastal (Aŋlɔ) dialects of Ewe.
