III University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Praise be to God for his protection and providence towards all my endeavors. In undertaking this study, I have gained a lot from the contributions of some people; the obvious are my three supervisors, Emeritus Prof. G. K. Nukunya, Prof. C. Fayorsey and Prof. C. R. K. Abotchie whose insights and arguments I found to be very useful. My special gratitude to Dr. D. Dzorgbo, the current Head of Sociology Department for giving me the opportunity to continue the program, in spite of the difficult situation I encountered at the latter stages of the program, and I wish to abundantly thank Prof. K. Senah, former Head of Sociology Department, for his patience and sobriety in managing the problems which came up while executing this research study. My appreciation goes to Prof. K. Ofori and Prof. H. Akussah, Dean and Vice Dean of the School of Research and Graduate Studies, for their fairness in dealing with the problems I encountered during the latter part of the program. Furthermore, I am very grateful to Nana Appiah Boateng, my biological father, who read through this thesis twice and made very important editorial suggestions. Likewise, my appreciation goes to the selflessness and dedication demonstrated by Mr. Mathew Ofori and Mr. Yaw Annor, who assisted me in administering the questionnaires and conducting all the interviews of the study. I am also very much indebted to the current chiefs and traditional elders of Apapam and Nkronso who availed themselves for detailed data to be collected from the two local communities. I thank the DCE, assemblymen, unit committee members, and the people of Apapam and Nkronso for their cooperation during the data collection process. For lack of space, there are other numerous names I cannot mention, particularly those who read through parts of the work and made important suggestions. Nonetheless, the responsibility for any shortcomings in this study is entirely mine.

  • The Tomato Industry in Ghana Today: Traders' Perspective
    THE TOMATO INDUSTRY IN GHANA TODAY: TRADERS’ PERSPECTIVE The Ghana National Tomato Traders and Transporters Association (GNTTTA) is a key informal economy player in Ghana. It is also a key player in regional integration because of its trade links with Togo, Benin and Burkina Faso, as well as the consequent massive flow of people and resources among players, partners and participating States, in line with ECOWAS protocols. The Association is predominantly female. Partnered by its transport wing, which is strategically located in Kumasi, buyers use the services of cargo truck drivers owned by Ghanaian transporters to buy from farm gates in Ghana during the rain-fed period from June 15 to December 15. From December 15 to May 30, the lean season/cross border trade takes place, with supplies coming from farm gates in Burkina Faso and the Upper East. The Upper East harvest periods run from December 15 to March 15, whilst production by Burkinabe producers run from the same period in December beyond May 15. In fact, this year, Burkina Faso stepped up production up to June 30. Regrettably, since 2006, supplies from the Upper East have been running low, until last year, when the Region failed to supply even a single crate to the GNTTTA market, owing to production and marketing challenges. This is in spite of a DFID UK intervention to step into SADA’s shoes and revamp production in SADA Zones nationwide and a media campaigns in that regard. Consequently, they have switched to soya, rice, maize etc. For the local trade, the GNTTTA collects its supplies for the various markets in Ghana from farm gates in Nsawam, Suhum and communities in the Fanteakwa District, also in the Eastern Region.

Box LG34, Legon 3Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich, Central Avenue, Chatham Maritime, Kent ME4 4TB, UK DOI: 10.18697/ajfand.82.17090 13406 ABSTRACT Traditional processing and street vending of foods is a vital activity in the informal sector of the Ghanaian economy and offers livelihood for a large number of traditional food processors. Kenkey is a fermented maize ‘dumpling’ produced by traditional food processors in Ghana. Ga and Fante kenkey have received research attention and there is a lot of scientific information on kenkey production. White kenkey produced from dehulled maize grains is a less known kind of kenkey. A survey was held in three districts of Ghana to study production, vending and consumption of white kenkey and to identify major bottlenecks related to production, which can be addressed in studies to re-package kenkey for a wider market. Questionnaires were designed for producers, vendors and consumers of white kenkey to collate information on Socio-cultural data, processing technologies, frequency of production and consumption, product shelf life, reasons for consumption and quality attributes important to consumers using proportional sampling.

  • Multiplicity of Voices in Community Development Through Radio in Fanteakwa District, Ghana
    Multiplicity of Voices in Community Development through Radio in Fanteakwa District, Ghana Manfred K. Asuman Geopat Consultancy Ghana Africanus L. Diedong (Corresponding Author) Department of African and General Studies, University for Development Studies, Wa Campus, Ghana [email protected] DOI//http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjds.v16i2.9 ABSTRACT The study examines community radio as a channel for development through people’s participation in development activities in the Fanteakwa District of Ghana. The study argues that participation of people is necessary for development. The study employed the concept of participatory development communication and the empowerment theory to help understand the role of community radio in development. Mixed method research design was used for the study. Data was collected through survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling and multi-stage sampling techniques were used to select respondents. It was found that participation is highest amongst people whose preferred channel of contribution to development initiatives is Radio Listenership Clubs. Though community radio station is serving the community, more needs to be done to properly integrate it into the lives of the people. Another finding was that community radio is not necessarily owned by the community, but can be the result of an individual’s entrepreneurial effort.I t is concluded that the integration of participatory approaches in radio programming and ownership is relevant because they are more people-centred and can be sustainable. A legislation on community broadcasting is recommended in order to define the role of individual entrepreneurs andNGO ’s in establishing community radio stations.

  • Yilo Krobo Municipal
    YILO KROBO MUNICIPAL 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 Yilo Krobo Municipal 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.
