    Tema Metropolitan

    TEMA METROPOLITAN i 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 Tema Metropolitan 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.

    Second CODEO Pre-Election Observation Report

    Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) CONTACT Secretariat: +233 (0) 244 350 266/ 0277 744 777 Email: [email protected]: Website: www.codeoghana.org SECOND PRE-ELECTION ENVIRONMENT OBSERVATION STATEMENT STATEMENT ON THE VOTER REGISTER Introduction The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) is pleased to release its second pre- election observation report, which captures key observations of the pre-election environment during the month of October 2020, ahead of the December 7, 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections of Ghana. 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.

  • Who Really Governs Urban Ghana?

    Who Really Governs Urban Ghana?

    COUNTERPOINTS The Counterpoints series presents a critical account of defining ideas, in and about Africa. The scope is broad, from international development policy to popular perceptions of the continent. Counterpoints address “Big Picture” questions, without the constraints of prevailing opinion and orthodoxy. The arguments are forward-looking but not speculative, informed by the present yet concerned with the future. In publishing this series, Africa Research Institute hopes to foster competing ideas, discussion and debate. The views expressed in Counterpoints are those of the authors, and not necessarily those of Africa Research Institute. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The manuscript was edited by Jamie Hitchen and Edward Paice. Design and typesetting by Niki Wolfe. Photo credit: Eric Carlson. Africa Research Institute would like to acknowledge the generous assistance of Richard Smith, Chairman of the Trustees. Published by Africa Research Institute, January 2016. understanding Africa today Ghana is one of Africa’s most urbanised – and rapidly urbanising – countries. In the past three decades, the number of city dwellers has risen from four to 14 million; more than 5.5 million live in slums. Urban growth exerts intense pressure on government and municipal authorities to provide infrastructure, affordable housing, public services and jobs. It has exacerbated informality, inequality, underdevelopment and political patronage. Some commentators warn of an impending urban crisis. Policymakers and international donors continue to prescribe better urban planning, slum upgrading, infrastructure investment and “capacity building” to “fix” African cities. While these are necessary, the success of any urban strategy depends on an informed appraisal of the political dynamics of urban neighbourhoods that define governance in Ghana’s cities.

    Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors Associated with Caesarean

    Manyeh et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2018) 18:405 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-018-2039-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with caesarean section delivery in Southern Ghana: evidence from INDEPTH Network member site Alfred Kwesi Manyeh1,2* , Alberta Amu1,3, David Etsey Akpakli1,3, John Williams1,3 and Margarete Gyapong1,4 Abstract Background: In recent years, caesarean section rates continue to evoke worldwide concern because of their steady increase, lack of consensus on the appropriate caesarean section rate and the associated short- and long-term risks. This study sought to identify the rate of caesarean section and associated factors in two districts in rural southern Ghana. Methods: Pregnancy, birth, and socio-demographic information of 4948 women who gave birth between 2011 and 2013 were obtained from the database of Dodowa Health and DemographicSurveillanceSystem.TherateofC-sectionwas determined and the associations between independent and dependent variables were explored using logistic regression. TheanalysesweredoneinSTATA14.2 at 95% confidence interval. Results: The overall C-section rate for the study period was 6.59%. Women aged 30–34 years were more than twice likely to have C-section compared to those < 20 year (OR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.20–3.90). However, women aged 34 years and above were more than thrice likely to undergo C-section compared to those < 20 year (OR: 3.73, 95% CI: 1.45–5.17). The odds of having C-section was 65 and 79% higher for participants with Primary and Junior High level schooling respectively (OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.08–2.51, OR:1.79, 95%CI: 1.19–2.70).
