  • GHSA QUARTERLY REPORT – GHANA MCSP PILLAR IV Activities & Results
    GHSA QUARTERLY REPORT – GHANA MCSP PILLAR IV Activities & Results PREVENTION In the last quarter, MCSP completed infection prevention and control (IPC) trainings in 28 additional district health facilities across the five MCSP-supported regions (Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Eastern, Upper East and Upper West). Thirty-six facilities have received IPC trainings to date. This represents 60% of the targeted number of facilities (56 facilities). As at the end of June 2017, 8,445 frontline health care workers were trained in IPC. This is 57% of the targeted number of healthcare workers. See graph below with detailed regional information. Of the number of healthcare workers trained, 6,304 (75%) were clinical staff and 2,141 were non-clinical staff (25%). Among the clinical staff trained, average post training test scores increased from a baseline of 45% to 70% with 40% of those trained scoring 85% and above.

  • Asutifi South District
    ASUTIFI SOUTH DISTRICT Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken 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, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s 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 national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Asutifi South District is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

It is suggested that all W.B.S. teachers notify their students of the information concerning the church nearest them, so they can go to the brethren for further instruc­ tion and baptism. It is not logical to expect the local preachers to contact the thousands of students, but the people can go to the brethren all over Ghana. The preachers in Ghana who were contacted were in accord with this plan and will give full cooperation. TIMES OF SERVICES: Most congregations in Ghana meet at 9:00 a.m.

The District Composite Budgeting System would achieve the following amongst others: a.

Establish an effective integrated budgeting system which supports intended goals, expectation and performance of government at the local levels, and c. Facilitate harmonized development and introduce fiscal prudence in the management of public funds at the MMDA level. Since 2011, Government has been directing all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to prepare for each fiscal year, Composite Budget which integrates departments under Schedule 1 of the Local Government (Department of the District Assemblies) (Commencement) Instrument, 2009, (LI 1961).

The most commonly used type of handpumps in the region are Afridev (57%) and Ghana Modified India Mark II (33%). There are as many as 212 Limited Mechanised Schemes in the Region. In addition, there are several small towns and small community piped schemes, as presented in Table 1. The Limited Mechanized Schemes are found mostly in urban com- munities, and seem to complement water supply from the other types of piped schemes. Some of the Limited Mechanised Schemes have household and institutional connections, contrary to the national guidelines. The largest community-managed piped scheme in the region is the Wenchi Small Town Water System, with a design population of 39,410.
