  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

WaterPower Working Paper, No. 9. Governance and Sustainability Lab. Trier University. Trier. Second edited version (2018) Authors’ contact Maria Kondra [email protected] i WaterPower Working Paper - Wetlands in Greater Accra Region Abstract The main socio-ecological pressures in five wetlands in the Greater Accra Region were first identified and then summarized by reviewing the relevant literature. As a second step, fieldwork in the region was carried out in 2016 to further examine the pressures identified in the literature. Most research on the wetlands in Ghana was published around the year 2000. Yet, similar socio-ecological pressures persist today. Based on both, fieldwork observa- tions and the literature review, these pressures were ranked using the IUCN pressures system analysis framework. It is suggested that further research needs to proceed with uncovering how trade-offs between ecosystem and quality of life can be defined. ii WaterPower Working Paper - Wetlands in Greater Accra Region The status of the wetlands in the Greater Accra Region Maria Kondra 1 Introduction 1 2 Methodology

  • The Case of Child Mortality in Accra, Ghana
    Modeling Spatial Inequalities in Health in Cities of Developing Countries: The Case of Child Mortality in Accra, Ghana John R. Weeks, San Diego State University Allan G. Hill, Harvard University Livia Montana, Harvard University Kenneth Hill, Harvard University Arthur Getis, San Diego State University Samuel Agyei-Mensah, University of Ghana Mark Montgomery, Population Council Douglas Stow, San Diego State University David Rain, George Washington University Ryan Engstrom, George Washington University Abstract Mortality levels in sub‐Saharan Africa remain among the highest in the world, even after several decades of decline. Urban‐rural differences persist, but even in urban areas, life expectancy remains relatively low. As the population in the region grows increasingly urban and dependent upon city‐ based economic development, the health of the urban population becomes a more compelling concern. Little is known, however, about intra‐urban spatial and socioeconomic inequalities in health in cities of developing nations. We contribute to closing this gap in the literature through an innovative process of linking spatially extensive data from the 2000 census of Ghana with substantively intensive data from the Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys for the same time period. Following models of the urban health transition, we calculate expected levels of child mortality for neighborhoods in Accra, and then compare those expectations with observed data based on direct measures of child mortality. The surprising result is that the observed pattern does not follow the expected pattern, apparently because of the spatially disparate impact of programs to reduce child mortality in high‐risk neighborhoods. Additional spatial analysis reveals that clusters of high child mortality do still exist in parts of the city, and are explained both by biological and spatial factors.

  • Of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE (LGS)
    Draft 2019 Annual Progress Report of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE (LGS) FOREWARD This report presents the achievements of the Local Govdernment Service (LGS) which comprises of the Office of the Head of the Local Government Service (OHLGS), the sixteen Regional Co- ordinating Councils (RCCs) and the two hundred and sixty Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). The feats reported herein were in line with the Government of Ghana’s National Decentralization Policy Framework and implementation of other government flagship programmes in line with national reporting requirements. Paramount among the OHLGS achievements were the various tailor-made trainings and capacity development programmes undertaken for a total of one thousand and sixty (1,060) staff and this undercores the commitment and investment made by government to develop human capacity in support of local governance and administration for improved service delivery. The successes and levels of implementation of government programmes and projects including the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), Infrastructure for Porverty Eradication Project (IPEP) and many others as reported by the RCCs and on behalf of Assemblies within their repective jurisdictions provides an insight on achievements over the planned period. The contributions of our many development partners and stakeholdrs made it possible to achieve these feats and the Local Government Service is appreciative of this support. It is the expectation that with continued support, the Service will continue to enhance delivery of its mandate of ensuring the effective administration and management of the decentralized sector of the country in line with the national decentralization programme.
