Approved this Friday, 29th day of September, 2017. SIGNED Hon. Presiding Member District Coordinating Director (Hon Andrew Adu-Boahen) (AIDOO E.) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Adansi North District Composite Budget Statement for the 2018 fiscal year draws its authority from the Local Governance Act, 2016, (Act 936). Other public financial laws and regulations (Act 921 & others) are of relevant legal reference for the preparation of this Budget. Section 123(1&2) of Act 936 mandates Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to prepare and submit a Composite Budget for the prosecution of its development programme for each ensuing fiscal year. The Composite Budget, an amalgam of all departmental budgets of the assembly, essentially seeks to ensure that funds transferred to the Assembly are strategically and functionally applied in strict accordance with the Assembly’s aspirations as codified in its objectives for fiscal prudence in the management of public funds at the local level. This Programme Based Budget approach by Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) is prepared base on the 2018 District Composite Action Plan, an extract from the District Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP) for 2018-2021 period. The DMTDP is in line with the President’s Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Policies (CP) (2017 – 2024). As a Programme Based Budget, the Budget is anchored on five programmes: Management & Administration, Social Services Delivery, Infrastructure Delivery & Management, Economic Development and Environmental and Sanitation Management. These Budget Programmes are based on thirteen (13) Budget Sub-Programmes including, among others, General Administration, Health Delivery, Education and Youth Development, Physical and Spatial Planning, Infrastructure Development, Agricultural Development and Disaster Prevention & Management. As a process, an analytical review of the Assembly’s Financial Reports as at July 31, 2017 by the District Budget Committee revealed a provisional nominal budget performance of 23.54% (Gh¢1,722,032.08) of Gh¢7,314,841.20

The findings in this report are based on bi-weekly field reports submitted by CODEO’s Long Term Observers (CODEO LTOs) deployed in 134 out of the 138 constituencies randomly selected from the 10 regions of Ghana. Guided by a checklist, CODEO’s LTOs observe the general political environment, including election-related preparatory activities by state and non-state actors, civic/voter education programs as well as political party campaign activities. The LTOs also observe the conduct of the security agencies, electoral irregularities and pre-election disputes adjudication. Summary of Findings: The Electoral Commission (EC) is undertaking key preparatory activities ahead of the elections across the constituencies. Radio continues to remain the main medium for civic/voter education in the constituencies. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) continue to remain the most visible parties with regard to election campaigning activities across the constituencies under observation. Four key policy priority issues: education, unemployment, health and corruption dominated political party campaigns in the constituencies. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) leads as the party that featured women and Persons with Disability (PWDs) as the leading speakers on their campaign platform followed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and Progressive People’s Party (PPP).

The PVT methodology is a reliable tool available to independent and non-partisan citizens’ election observer groups around the world for verifying the accuracy of official presidential elections results. In keeping with our protocols, which is that CODEO releases its PVT findings after the official results have been announced by the Electoral Commission, CODEO is here to release its PVT estimates for the presidential election. CODEO’s PVT estimates for the presidential results form part of its comprehensive election observation activities for the 2020 elections that covered voter registration exercise, pre-election environment observation for three months (September to November), and election day observation. The PVT Methodology The PVT is an advanced and scientific election observation technique that combines well-established statistical principles and Information Communication Technology (ICT) to observe elections. The PVT involves deploying trained accredited Observers to a nationally representative random sample of polling stations. On Election-Day, PVT Observers observe the entire polling process and transmit reports about the conduct of the polls and the official vote count in real-time to a central election observation database, using the Short Message Service (SMS) platform.

One active (Sanso tailings dam) and two abandoned (Pompora and Dokyiwa) mine tailings dams in Obuasi gold mine site, were selected for the collection and analysis of the tailings. The concentrations of As, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn were determined using an atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS, Varian Models 240FS). The total concentrations of elements in the mine tailings were up to 1752 mg/kg As, 75.16 wt.% Fe, 1848.12 mg/kg Mn, 92.17 mg/kg Cu and 7850 177.56 mg/kg Zn.
