  • Ownership and Access to Land in Urban Mamprugu, Northern Ghana
    Journal of Poverty, Investment and Development - An Open Access International Journal Vol.3 2014 Ownership and Access to Land in Urban Mamprugu, Northern Ghana Sagre Bambangi1 and Abdulai Abubakari2 Abstract This paper explores land ownership and access to land in the urban areas of Mamprugu in the Northern Region of Ghana. An overview of the system of land ownership and access in the rural areas for both residential and agricultural purposes has been used as a background for the understanding of the changes provoked by urbanization. The information used was qualitative through key informant interviews, observation and group discussions. The study revealed that land ownership and access in the traditional rural context was often in tranquility and rarely encountered conflicts. Occasional conflicts arising from the traditional rural arrangements were often easier to resolve. Also, the financial costs have been considered to be within the means of the average family or household in the locality. However, it was observed that access to land by women in the traditional framework subtly deprived women because of the patrilineal system of inheritance and the role assigned to women by the society. In the urban context, land ownership and access is in transition with a combination of traditional and modern institutions in land administration for residential and public infrastructure purposes. The study observed increasing incidence of land disputes in Mamprugu as urbanization progresses. It is recommended that the three district assemblies in Mamprugu in collaboration with the traditional authorities initiate a joint programme to address causes of the emerging problems in the few urban settlements.

  • A Spatio-Thematic Analysis of Violent Conflicts in Northern Ghana Between 2007 and 2013
    conflict & communication online, Vol. 15, No. 2, 2016 www.cco.regener-online.de ISSN 1618-0747 Patrick Osei-Kufuor, Stephen B Kendie & Kwaku Adutwum Boakye Conflict, peace and development: A spatio-thematic analysis of violent conflicts in Northern Ghana between 2007 and 2013 Kurzfassung: Der vorliegende Aufsatz enthält Informationen und Landkarten zur räumlichen und zeitlichen Dynamik gewaltförmiger Konflikte im Norden Ghanas und fokussiert deren Struktur, Ursachen und Entwicklungstand. Die primären Daten der Studie wurden in ausgewählten Konfliktherden erhoben und dienen zur Validierung der sekundären Informationen, die den Berichten zweier nationaler Tageszeitungen entnommen wurden. Infolge seiner großen ethnischen Heterogenität und des Kampfes um Anerkennung und Dominanz zwischen den ethnischen Gruppen liegen die Konfliktzonen hauptsächlich in der östlichen Region Nord-Ghanas. Konfliktursachen sind Ethnizität, Häuptlingschaft, Religion, Politik, Urbanisierung, Verteilungskämpfe und der Kampf um Anerkennung. Viele der Konflikte sind nach wie vor ungelöst. Da sie den Akzent mehr auf die Auslöser der Gewalt denn auf die tiefer liegenden Streitfragen gelegt haben, blieb Vermittlungsversuchen im Allgemeinen nur ein kurzfristiger Stabilisierungserfolg beschieden. Für einen dauerhaften Frieden im Norden Ghanas müssen Regierung und Zivilgesellschaft den strukturellen Konfliktursachen größere Aufmerksamkeit schenken. Die Nationalversammlung der Häuptlinge muss Regeln und Praktiken und Bräuche der Weitergabe von Autorität kodifizieren. Um Grenzen festzuschreiben und Konflikte um Land und Boden zu reduzieren, muss der Staat die Vergabe von Landtiteln vorantreiben. Abstract: This study provides in text and in maps the spatial and temporal dynamics of violent conflicts in Northern Ghana focusing on their structure, causes and status. Primary data was collected from identified conflict hotspots to validate secondary information collected from two national dailies.

  • Relevance of Indigenous Conflict Management Mechanisms: Evidence from Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo and Central Gonja Districts of Northern Region, Ghana
    Relevance of Indigenous Conflict Management Mechanisms: Evidence from Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo and Central Gonja Districts of Northern Region, Ghana Mohammed Gadafi Ibrahim (Corresponding author) School for Development Studies, College of Humanities and Legal Studies, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana Email: [email protected] Joseph Kingley Adjei Department of Sociology and Anthropology, College of Humanities and Legal Studies, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana Joseph Agyanim Boateng School for Development Studies, College of Humanities and Legal Studies, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana DOI//http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjds.v16i1.2 ABSTRACT The Northern Region is witnessing protracted and relapsed conflicts, and attempts at resolving these largely through Western models, particularly the formal court system have not been successful. As such, this study explores the relevance of indigenous conflict management mechanisms in restoring enduring peace in theN orthern Region of Ghana. The study employed a multiple case study design. Data was collected from forty- three purposively selected respondents using interviews, focus group discussions, and observations. The results from thematic and cross-site analysis revealed that indigenous mechanisms have features of inclusive participatory approach at all levels of the conflict leading to acceptable outcomes. The traditional mechanisms have proven to be immediate and meaningful, accessible, and affordable. The use of local languages is well understood by all parties and processes and procedure are well attuned to local needs as they produce quick justice for the people. The development of a comprehensive programme to incorporate aspects of both the indigenous and western-centred judicial structures for the purposes of legitimacy of management outcomes is proposed.

  • Bole District
    BOLE 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 Bole 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.

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.
