  • Jomoro District Assembly
    JOMORO DISTRICT ASSEMBLY ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON THE DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN [MTDP] 2014 Prepared By: DPCU JOMORO DISTRICT ASSEMBLY P. O. BOX 72 HAFF ASSIN CHAPTER ONE 1.1 Background This Annual Progress Report for 2014 constitutes the findings, observations and reactions of the monitoring and evaluation activities undertaken in the District during the period under review. The government of Ghana is committed to prudent management and accountability practice within the public service that result in effective and efficient delivery of services for the benefit of all Ghanaians. Government is further committed to the Medium- Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) that links resource allocation to the National Development Policy objectives and the delivery of specific outputs and outcomes. Quarterly, Government and Development partners commit significant resources to support a wide range of development interventions that are designed to improve the social and economic conditions in the country. The Medium Term Development Policy Framework implemented from 2010-2013, was a broad based development strategy for Accelerated Poverty Reduction and Democratic decentralization. It focused heavily on poverty reduction programmes and projects. The emphasis in the growth and poverty reduction strategy is on growth inducing policies and programmes that have the potential of supporting wealth creation for sustainable poverty reduction. The policy framework is therefore anchored on maintaining the macroeconomic stability and on pursuing accelerated private sector led growth, vigorous human resource development, good governance and civic responsibility. All Government agencies at the sector, Regional and District levels that are task with the responsibility of implementing these programmes and projects are expected to demonstrate, through evidence based information, that these interventions are having the desired effects in terms of positively transforming the lives of all beneficiaries.

  • The Composite Budget of the Bia West District Assembly for the 2015 Fiscal Year
    THE COMPOSITE BUDGET OF THE BIA WEST DISTRICT ASSEMBLY FOR THE 2015 FISCAL YEAR 1 INTRODUCTION Section 92 (3) of the Local Government Act 1993, Act 462 envisages the implementation of the composite budget system under which the budget of the department of the District Assembly would be integrated into the budget of the District Assembly. The District Composite Budgeting System would achieve the following amongst others: a. Ensure that public funds follow functions to give meaning to the transfer of staff transferred from the Civil Service to the Local Government Service. b. Establish an effective integrated budgeting system which supports intended goals, expectation and performance of government at the local level; c. Deepen the uniform approach to planning, budgeting, financial reporting and auditing. d. Facilitate harmonized development and introduce fiscal prudence in the management of public funds at the MMDA level. In 2011, Government directed all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to prepare for the fiscal year 2012, Composite budgets which integrated budgets of departments under Schedule I of the local Government (Departments of District Assemblies) (Commencement) Instrument, 2009, (L.I.1961). This policy initiative would upscale full implementation of fiscal decentralization and ensure that the utilization of all public resources at the local level takes place in an efficient, effective, transparent and accountable manner for improved service delivery. The composite Budget of the Bia West District Assembly for the 2015 Fiscal Year has been prepared from the 2015 Annual Action Plan lifted from the 2014-2017 DMTDP which is aligned to the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA, 2010-2013).

  • An Integrated Approach to Assess the Environmental Impacts of Large-Scale Gold Mining: the Nzema-Gold Mines in the Ellembelle District of Ghana As a Case Study
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article An Integrated Approach to Assess the Environmental Impacts of Large-Scale Gold Mining: The Nzema-Gold Mines in the Ellembelle District of Ghana as a Case Study Dawuda Usman Kaku 1 , Yonghong Cao 1,2,*, Yousef Ahmed Al-Masnay 1 and Jean Claude Nizeyimana 1 1 School of Environment, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130117, China; [email protected] (D.U.K.); [email protected] (Y.A.A.-M.); [email protected] (J.C.N.) 2 State Environmental Protection Key Laboratory of Wetland Ecology and Vegetation Restoration, School of Environment, Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130117, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The mining industry is a significant asset to the development of countries. Ghana, Africa’s second-largest gold producer, has benefited from gold mining as the sector generates about 90% of the country’s total exports. Just like all industries, mining is associated with benefits and risks to indigenes and the host environment. Small-scale miners are mostly accused in Ghana of being environmentally disruptive, due to their modes of operations. As a result, this paper seeks to assess the environmental impacts of large-scale gold mining with the Nzema Mines in Ellembelle as a case study. The study employs a double-phase mixed-method approach—a case study approach, consisting of site visitation, key informant interviews, questionnaires, and literature reviews, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) analysis method. The NDVI analysis shows that Citation: Usman Kaku, D.; Cao, Y.; agricultural land reduced by −0.98%, while the bare area increases by 5.21% between the 2008 and Al-Masnay, Y.A.; Nizeyimana, J.C.
