H. C.J.J. Gaiflard Ir. E.L.C. van Egmond-de Wilde de Ligny Faculty of Technology Management Department of International Technology and Development Studies Ir. A. W.J. Borgers Faculty of Building Engineering Department of Planning In co-operation with Dr. J. Post Department of Planning and Demography University of Amsterdam Prof Dr. Kwafo Adarkwa Department of Planning University of Sience and Technology, Kumasi Appendix l.l Organisational structure KMA 1.1 Organisational structure KMA The management structure of the KMA is made up of all the departments established by the Assembly to carry out operational tasks. These departments are headed by the Metropolitan Co-ordinating Director. Legally the KMA should have 22 departments, corresponding to the 22 decentralised gaveroment ministries. However, this decentralisation process has nat yet been completed. As a result, the departments are caught with conflicting interests. They owe loyalty to bath the ministries and the KMA (Heijman, Langendijk, 1997, p.8). At present the following 16 departments should be already established: 1. Central Administration Department 2. Finance Department 3. Education, Youth and Sports Department 4. Metropolifan Health Department 5. Waste Management Department 6. Agriculture Department 7. Physical Planning Department 8. Social Welfare and Community Development Department 9. Natoral Resources Conservation Department 10. Works Department 11. Industry and Trade Department 12. Budget and Rating Department 13. Legal Department 14. Transport Department 15. Disaster Prevention Department 16. Urban Roads Department (Heijman, Langendijk, 1997, p.48). The italicized departments are the only ones established as far as I know. The districts are the basic units in the decentralised planning system and District Assemblies (DAs) will ultimately be responsible for all development programmes, other than those that , by their nature, can only be implemented at nationallevel. Every DA should have a District Planning and co­ ordinating unit (DPCU) to support its activities. Apart from the DPCU staff, a DA should also be able to call on the services of sector specialists, belonging to one of the 22 central government departments which have been decentralised. In practice, very few of these have been absorbed into the DA's staff. It must be concluded that at present planning capabilities at all levels, sectoral, regional and district, are inadequate for a smooth implementation of plans (Vision 2020, p.29). Appendix 1.2 Research Topics 1.2 Research Topics In the update of the agreement between the collaborating parties, the collaboration is set to cover the period 1998-1999 with the possibility of further extension. An updated list of research topics is identified, covering the following subjects: a) Economy of the metropolitan area; b) Land use; c) Transportation; d) Urban management; e) Urban public transport (remaining from the previous list); and f) Environmental impact of major industriallocations. Ad c A study of the problems of the emerging traffic conges ti on on the approach roads to the city centre Ad e an investigation into the frictions between supply and demand for urban public transport and the capacities of public and private companies to del i ver public transportation services with special emphasis on the public transportation needs generated by vital urban facilities (hospitals, schools). 2 Appendix 2.2 Literature list 1 KUMASI 1.

The report is based on weekly reports filed by 65 Long-Term Observers (LTOs) deployed across 65 selected constituencies throughout the country. The observers have been monitoring the general electoral and political environment including the activities of key election stakeholders such as the Electoral Commission (EC), the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), political parties, the security agencies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and religious and traditional leaders. Below are key findings from CODEO’s observation during the period. Summary of Findings: • Similar to CODEO’s observations in the month of September 2020, civic and voter education activities were generally low across the various constituencies. • There continues to be generally low visibility of election support activities by CSOs, particularly those aimed at peace promotion. • COVID-19 health and safety protocols were not adhered to during some political party activities. • The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) remain the most visible political parties in the constituencies observed as far as political and campaign- related activities are concerned. Main Findings Preparatory Activities by the Electoral Commission Observer reports showed intensified preparatory activities by the EC towards the December 7, 2020 elections.

  • 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.

  • Press Release Shooting of the Pilgrims of Mpuasu
    PRESS RELEASE SHOOTING OF THE PILGRIMS OF MPUASU-JAPEKROM TRADITIONAL AREA AT NEW DROBO AND THE SECURITY DEVELOPMENT IN THE JAMAN SOUTH MUNICIPALITY – NON-RESIDENTIAL CITIZENS OF MPUASUMAN- JAPEKROM TRADITIONAL AREA Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, Good morning. We have called the attention of Ghanaians to a very serious security development in the Jaman South Municipal Area, specifically between Japekrom and New Drobo (Drobo). These matters resulted from the shooting of the Youth Chief of Japekrom and two other people, a Senior High School student and a one-year-old baby who were all part of a peaceful procession during the Celebration of the Munufie Festival by the People of the Mpuasu-Japekrom Traditional Area. 2. THE MUNUFIE FESTIVAL The activities marking the Annual Munufie Festival of the people of Mpuasu-Japekrom Traditional Area involved a visit to Mpuasu, the ancestral home of the people to perform a spiritual bath. This year’s activities involved the commemoration of our ancestral journey, a showcase of the coming and settlement of the people of Mpuasu-Japekrom in present day Japekrom. This event, which took place on 17th October, 2018, takes place every 5 decades (50 years) and it involves walking on foot from Krobuo on the main Japekrom-Sampa road to Japekrom. Over 1000 residents and non-residents of the Traditional Area, including men, women, young, old and children participated in the historic walk. Unfortunately, this peaceful walk ended in bloodshed. Unknown assailants fired gunshot from a storey-building at the roadside (eyewitness and police accounts) into the crowd, killing three (3), including a one year old baby.
