  • Afadzato South District
    AFADZATO SOUTH DISTRICT 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 Afadzato 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.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This is a study of the processes through which the former Togoland Trust Territory has come to constitute an integral part of modern Ghana. As the section of the country that was most recently appended, the territory has often seemed the most likely candidate for the eruption of separatist tendencies. The comparative weakness of such tendencies, in spite of economic crisis and governmental failure, deserves closer examination. This study adopts an approach which is local in focus (the area being Likpe), but one which endeavours at every stage to link the analysis to unfolding processes at the Regional and national levels.

    ENGAGEMENT OF A FIRM FOR DATA COLLECTION IN THE VOLTA REGION OF GHANA FOR THE GHANA NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD REGISTRY (GNHR) P164603 CR No 6337-GH REF No.: GH-MOGCSP-190902-CS-QCBS I. BACKGROUND & CONTEXT The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP) as a responsible institution to coordinate the implementation of the country’s social protection system has proposed the establishment of the Ghana National Household Registry (GNHR), as a tool that serves to assist social protection programs to identify, prioritize, and select households living in vulnerable conditions to ensure that different social programs effectively reach their target populations. The GNHR involves the registry of households and collection of basic information on their social- economic status. The data from the registry can then be shared across programs. In this context, the GNHR will have the following specific objectives: a) Facilitate the categorization of potential beneficiaries for social programs in an objective, homogeneous and equitable manner. b) Support the inter-institutional coordination to improve the impact of social spending and the elimination of duplication c) Allow the design and implementation of accurate socioeconomic diagnoses of poor people, to support development of plans, and the design and development of specific programs targeted to vulnerable and/or low-income groups. d) Contribute to institutional strengthening of the MoGCSP, through the implementation of a reliable and central database of vulnerable groups. For the implementation of the Ghana National Household Registry, the MoGCSP has decided to use a household evaluation mechanism based on a Proxy Means Test (PMT) model, on which welfare is determined using indirect indicators that collectively approximate the socioeconomic status of individuals or households.

Over the years, it has been observed that procurement is characterized by situations where most Entities procure similar items of Common Use Procurement News Around the World (hereinafter referred to as ‘Common Use items’) frequently in small uneconomic quantities - Pg. 11 from diverse sources resulting in high transaction cost and price distortions. The Procurement Act also frowns on bulk breaking.

  • Nneka Youth Foundation Annual Report 2020 Nneka Annual Report 2020 Theme “Commit Today – Build Tomorrow”
    NNEKA YOUTH FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2020 NNEKA ANNUAL REPORT 2020 THEME “COMMIT TODAY – BUILD TOMORROW” ACHIEVEMENTS • 6,663 Youth empowered. • 155 Teen mothers& Girls trained and empowered. • 44 Youth enrolled into NELS initiative. • 107 Children impacted through Nneka Skills academy INTRODUCTION The year 2020 has been a very challenging year due to the advent of the nouvelle Corona virus. The world came to a standstill and protocols restricted virtually every sector, that notwithstanding, our yearly goals of reaching out to the youth and women and bringing development and empowerment was not sidelined. We were fortunate to take our mini camp at the beginning of the year in Nchumuru and this made it easier for us to reach out to many youth, women and communities with our empowerment and community engagement programs. Despite the pandemic our team of volunteers went around deprived communities and households creating awareness of the corona virus and taking them through precautionary measures. Our Vocational Entrepreneurial Pathway was also carried with all protocols observed. Our major summer camp had to adapt to time due to the COVID-19 and this prompted us to go virtual and we were able to work through satellite centers we set up. Some of our children from the surrounding communities around our youth development center were taken through academic, craft/arts, sports and vocational classes throughout the Covid-19 break, to help them fill the lapses created by the pandemic. The Nneka Educational Logistic Support Scheme (NELS) was not left out as a number of children were brought on board to benefit from the scholarship scheme.
