  • The Composite Budget of the Akwapim South District Assembly for the 2016
    REPUBLIC OF GHANA THE COMPOSITE BUDGET OF THE AKWAPIM SOUTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY FOR THE 2016 FISCAL YEAR 1 1.0 Background The Akwapim South District was carved out of the then Akwapim South Municipality, now Nsawam Adoagiri Municipality in June, 2012 by a Legislative Instrument 2040. It has Aburi as its administrative District Capital which is the second highest habitable town in Ghana. The District is the first district along the Akuapem Ridge of the Eastern part of Ghana 1.1 Population Size and Distribution The 2010 Population and Housing Census put the total population of the district at 37,501 which accounts for about 1.4 percent of the population in the Eastern region. Out of this figure, 48.5 percent are males with 51.5 percent being females. The district has a population growth rate of 3.8 and death rate of 9.5 per 1000 people per annum According to the 2010 Population and Housing Census, the District has about three-quarters (73.4%) of its population residing at rural areas as against 26.6% in the urban set up. This implies, the district is rural in nature and therefore faces myriad of challenges of inadequate social infrastructure and amenities as any rural area in Ghana. 1.2 District Economy 1.2.1 Agriculture The main economic activity in the District is Agriculture. The Climate conditions favour production of variety of crops such as Maize, Cassava, Yam and Vegetables including Tomato, Pepper, Garden Eggs, Okro and Cabbage. Tree crops such as Cocoa, Citrus and Oil Palm are also grown in the District.

  • Akwapim South District
    AKWAPIM SOUTH DISTRICT Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service i 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 Akwapim 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.

  • From Conflict to Collaboration: Atewa Forest Governance
    From conflict to collaboration: Atewa Forest governance by Victor Mawutor Agbo A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 ©Victor Mawutor Agbo 2019 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Many countries are addressing the problem of deforestation through sustainable ecosystem management collaborations. Successful ones have recognized local participation as being essential to any conservation effort. In Ghana, forests and their ecotourism attributes have served as a pull to many international adventure and eco-tourists but unfortunately, the country’s forest cover has experienced significant exploitation over the years leading to the less desirability of these nature-based attractions. Despite its designation as a protected area for biodiversity and watershed services, the Atewa Forest in Ghana has been significantly impacted by humans. The problem of forest degradation has increased over the years. This is mainly due to the many tree and livelihood conflicts in most forest communities. The Government of Ghana has outlined its plans to mine the Atewa Range Forest Reserve as part of a national infrastructure development programme which has received a lot of opposition from many civil society groups, NGOs and professional institutions, stating that to mine the Atewa Range Forest Reserve, the entire forest would have to be removed.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences MANAGING WATER RESOURCES UNDER CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND CHANGE: PERSPECTIVES OF COMMUNITIES IN THE AFRAM PLAINS, GHANA A Thesis in Geography by Kathleen Ann Dietrich © 2008 Kathleen Ann Dietrich Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2008 The thesis of Kathleen Ann Dietrich was reviewed and approved* by the following: Petra Tschakert Assistant Professor of Geography Alliance for Earth Sciences, Engineering, and Development in Africa Thesis Adviser C. Gregory Knight Professor of Geography Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Climate variability and change alter the amount and timing of water resources available for rural communities in the Afram Plains district, Ghana. Given the fact that the district has been experiencing a historical and multi-scalar economic and political neglect, its communities face a particular vulnerability for accessing current and future water resources. Therefore, these communities must adapt their water management strategies to both future climate change and the socio-economic context. Using participatory methods and interviews, I explore the success of past and present water management strategies by three communities in the Afram Plains in order to establish potentially effective responses to future climate change. Currently, few strategies are linked to climate variability and change; however, the methods and results assist in giving voice to the participant communities by recognizing, sharing, and validating their experiences of multiple climatic and non-climatic vulnerabilities and the past, current, and future strategies which may enhance their adaptive capacity.
