The role of SMEs is crucial in the development process of many countries especially developing ones. About eighty percent of commercial poultry producers operate at small and medium scale levels with few large-scale activities in Ghana. Poultry production is one of the major agricultural activities in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana dominating in terms of the total poultry flocks as well as the production of broiler meat in the country.

People living in rural areas need more attention in the realisation of this goal because they are more disadvantaged. The socio-economic development approach, which is the major approach to development and driven by modernisation, overlooks other important factors of quality of life. From the literature, integrative quality of life (IQOL) theory addresses these challenges when adopted in project planning. The purpose of the study was to reflect on the outcomes of Ghana Baptist Convention’s (GBC) rural projects applying the IQOL theory.

  • 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.

  • Sustainability Outcomes of Teak Plantation Development in Dormaa, Ghana T
    Environmental Development 29 (2019) 44–54 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Environmental Development journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/envdev Sustainability outcomes of teak plantation development in Dormaa, Ghana T Peter Narh Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Ghana ABSTRACT Teak (Tectona grandis) plantation development in Ghana is an integral component of the National Forest Plantation Development Programme, a state-supported programme to conserve forests and sustain timber production for economic development, through refurbishing degraded forests and establishing new ones. The plantation development offers opportunity for understanding the sustainability outcomes of forest plantation devel- opment in environmental, social, economic, and political terms. With a case study of the Dormaa region in Ghana, this paper discusses how the sustainability of forest plantation development can be better appraised when target communities are considered heterogeneously. There is high state responsibility to the attainment of environmental and timber revenue goals from the teak plantations. However, there are social and political difficulties that confront different farmers but these difficulties are not emphasized for redress in the management of the plantations. To this end, this paper contends that teak plantation development in Dormaa is only partially successful in terms of its sustainability. The paper calls for an inductive approach to plantation development in Ghana that recognises the heterogeneity of the community of people affected, and which addresses the different conditions and possible implications of forest management for equitable benefits from the forests for all categories of people. 1. Introduction Drawing from empirical data gathered qualitatively in the Dormaa Municipality in Ghana, this paper discusses the development of teak (Tectona grandis) plantations in Dormaa and its outcomes on different groups of community people in terms of key sustainability measures – environmental, economic, social, and political implications.

With a regional secretariate in Nairobi, the network operates through national chapters in 23 countries, with an expansion plan to cover the entire sub-Saharan Africa. One of the objectives of the network is to disseminate research results to policy makers, legislators, the organized private sector, civil society, mass media and farmers’ groups through publications, dialogue and advocacy. Among its range of publications are the Working Paper Series (WPS), Research Paper Series (RPS), Special Paper Series (SPS) and the Technopolicy Briefs. Papers published under the Working Paper Series (WPS) are those produced from the ATPS small grants process or from regional projects. The WPS are not subjected to the strict requirements of the RPS but this does not suggest that they do not have significant policy or methodological contribution to make to the work of ATPS. The Board supports all efforts aimed at improving the WPS, such as building skills that will make most of the ATPS research outputs to be published under the RPS.
