The Development Plan was prepared from the government’s Medium- Term National Development Policy Framework - The Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (GSGDA II), 2014-2017 with the underlying theme as socio-economic transformation, which involves a change in structure and composition of the national output in ways that enhance broad-based, inclusive and sustainable growth. The 2017 APR has been prepared from the assessment of the status of indicators and targets adopted for monitoring the progress of key policy and programme interventions. It also documents key policy measures and strategies implemented during the year to bring about the expected change in indicators. 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE MONITORING AND EVALUATION FOR THE STATED PERIOD The purpose of this document is to assess key policy measures and strategies implemented during the year to bring about the expected change in indicators. 1.2 SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DMTDP Monitoring visits to project sites were organized. Four District Planning Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU) meetings and site meetings were organized, and public fora to improve social accountability in the district.

Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa District
ASIKUMA-ODOBEN-BRAKWA DISTRICT Copyright (c) 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 Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa 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. -

E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: +233 246 958 774 Isaac Eshun Environmental/Social Studies Tutor, Enchi College of Education, Ghana E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +233 266 634 610 Abstract Practitioners of Social Studies believe that its introduction in schools is inextricably link with national development if students are imbued with the ideals of society. As a subject in the SHS curriculum in Ghana, it is mostly taught by graduate teachers from the country’s two public teacher preparation universities: University of Cape Coast and University of Education, Winneba (i.e. UCC and UEW) and graduates from other universities. Analysis of their programmes reveals differences in curriculum policy on how the subject is structured to prepare teachers to teach it at the SHS level. A sequential mixed method design was used. Data from questionnaire was triangulated with interviews and classroom observation of pedagogues who are products of UCC and UEW. The Pearson Chi-Square was used in finding significant differences. The p-value is the probability for showing differences and a critical value of alpha =.05 was adopted. The study revealed that teachers’ conception about Social Studies has influence on their classroom activities.
