In June 1962, Sekondi-Takoradi was elevated to the status of a city and is currently one of the Six (6) Metropolises in Ghana. In 1994 the name of the Assembly was changed to Shama Ahanta East Metropolitan Assembly [SAEMA] through an LI 1316. The name was later reverted to STMA again in 2008 through an L.I 1928 after Shama was curved out to attain the status of a District. STMA covers a land area of 219 km² with Sekondi as the administrative headquarters. The Metro is bordered to the West by Ahanta West District, to the North by Mpohor Wassa East, to the East by Shama District Assembly and to the South by the Gulf of Guinea. The Metropolis is located on the West Coast, about 280km west of Accra and 130km East of La Cote D’Ivoire. It is thus strategically located considering its closeness to the sea and the airports and accessibility to major cities by rail and road. 1.21.21.2 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 A new Development Plan was prepared in 2010 for the Sekondi - Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA). This plan spans from 2010 to 2013 and is based on the policy framework of the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda. The thematic areas were; 1. Enhancing Competitiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector; 2. Accelerated Agriculture Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resource Management; 3. Oil and Gas Development; 4. Infrastructure, Energy and Human Settlements; 5. Human Development, Productivity and Employment; 6. Transparent and Accountable Governance It was also based on the guidelines of NDPC and was anticipated that its successful implementation will contribute to the global efforts to achieve the MDGs. This report is to highlight the achievement of the planned activities for the year 2012. 1.1.1.31.333 PROCESSES INVOLVED AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED: The compilation of the report was participatory as it involved members of the Metro Planning coordinating unit and the MPCU Secretariat. The source of data was mainly secondary as the team relied greatly on report provided by various departments as well as monitoring reports of the MPCU. The following difficulties were however encountered: (i) Lack of harmony in report formats which make compilation difficult STMA Annual Progress Report 2012 3 (ii) Inconsistency in data which always requires cleaning (iii) Untimely submission of reports from some of the Decentralized Departments 1.1.1.41.444 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF DMTDP (2010(2010----2013)2013) About 93% of programmes and projects outline in the Annual Action Plan for 2012 were implemented. (See appendix A for list of projects). 2.02.02.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES REPORT 2.12.12.1 PROGRAMMES/PROJECTS STATUS FOR THE YEAR 2.1.1 URBAN POVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMME The following programmes were organised under the UPRP Project: 2.1.1.1 Capacity Building for ProPro----PoorPoor Urban Development and Management; Officers learnt about the best practices of Public-Private Partnership concepts which have aided most countries generate employment for the local communities. In this view, the Assembly took clues as to how best to improve upon the partnership between the Assembly and the Private sector with the aim of employment creation. Decision was also taken to apply the PPP concepts in the management of the economic generating sub-projects under the Urban Poverty Reduction Project. Training was organized for the beneficiary MMDAs under the UPRP to share their achievement under the project and the best way to consolidate the gains and sustain the project after the project has existed.

    Fueling the Future of an Oil City A Tale of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana CONTRIBUTORS FROM GLOBAL COMMUNITIES: Africa in the 21st Century – Rapid Economic Alberto Wilde and Urban Growth Ghana Country Director Africa is experiencing an economic boom period, with many of the fastest growing world economies Ishmael Adams of the last decade in the continent. Ghana is one of the fastest growing economies within Africa, with IncluCity Project Director multiple years of growth in GDP around 7 percent,1 driven by exports of gold and cocoa and, with oil Brian English production that commenced in 2010, further growth is expected. Director, Program Innovation Simultaneously, the continent is transforming due to the effects of rapid urbanization. Africa is the fastest urbanizing continent with urban growth rate of 3.5 percent per year, with that rate expected to hold until 2050.2 Ghana’s rate of urbanization is currently measured at 3.4 percent3 and the country has reached the milestone of 51 percent of its 24 million people living in cities. Urbanization and economic growth spur opportunity but also present challenges such as growth of slums to accommodate the influx of people seeking better jobs and lives in the cities. In turn this can lead to poor quality services and inequalities exacerbated by crime and conflict. Over the last few decades we have also seen an increase in urban disasters. Poor, cramped living conditions, such as those we saw in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in 2010, can lead to even deadlier and more destructive disasters.4 The world is changing how it views Africa, from seeing the continent through the lens of vulnerability to seeing it through the lens of opportunity.

  • Islamic Revivalism in Contemporary Ghana
    Islamic Revivalism in Contemporary Ghana Yunus Dumbe In the study of Muslims in post-independence Ghana the growth and proliferation of new Islamic movements, as a by-product of Kwame Nkrumah’s foreign policy, is an issue worthy of academic attention. This foreign policy, inclined towards engaging with Africa and Muslim countries (Saudi Arabia, Iran and Libya, among others) attracted movements such as Salafism, Shi´ism and the Third Universal Theory of al-Qadhafi’s Green Book into the Ghanaian religious sphere, where the Tijaniyya already played an important role. While these new movements drew inspiration from external points of orientation, their proliferation depended on the local context. The activists of the Fayda Tijaniyya and the Salafis were successful with their agenda and approach primarily due to the competing scholarly interpretations they offered and their modernised approach to propagation. Though Shi´i revivalism in recent times has combined traditional and secular education, its influence in the broader Ghanaian religious sphere is yet to be tested. The Green Book offered a particular political dimension to the Islamic revival, and some Ghanaians were influenced by its ideas on political participation. Dr Yunus Dumbe is a lecturer at the Department of Religious Studies in the Islamic University College, Accra. He specialises on Islam in Africa, particularly Ghana and South Africa. Between 2011 and 2013, he was a guest scholar at the Department for the Study of Religions at Södertörn University, Stockholm, Sweden. Södertörns
