It is a fact that if the health sector is to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals in Ghana, then there is the need for a paradigm shift in health services provision from over concentration on curative and institutional care to a more community-based level or close-to-client health services delivery with household and community involvement. The Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) initiative is one of the new paradigm shifts which have been adopted to re-orient and relocate health services from clinical to community levels, which is contributing to the realization of the goals of primary health care. From the initial trials in Nkwanta and Juaboso Bia district, the CHPS initiative has now become a national policy in health care delivery. All districts are in the process of implementing the scheme and the training of personnel needed is on going. The effectiveness of the training of these personnel for CHPS depends on the availability of appropriate materials. It is for this reason that this training manual has been developed to guide and support CHO training.

  • Class Struggle, Popular Culture and the Politics of Akpeteshie (Local Gin) in Ghana, 1930-67*
    Journal of African History, 37 (1996), pp. 215-236 215 Copyright © 1996 Cambridge University Press WHAT'S IN A DRINK? CLASS STRUGGLE, POPULAR CULTURE AND THE POLITICS OF AKPETESHIE (LOCAL GIN) IN GHANA, 1930-67* BY EMMANUEL AKYEAMPONG Harvard University Wunni ntramma na wo se nsa nye de When you do not have cowry shells, you say wine is not sweet (Twi Proverb). SOCIAL revolutions or movements of popular protest often begin innoc- uously. They are initially preoccupied with 'bread-and-butter' politics and with no sophisticated ideology of class-consciousness or a desire to overturn the social order. Adherents to such movements — the weak and poor — seek to minimize the disadvantages of the 'system' for their lives.1 In the Gold Coast from the 1930s, an excellent arena for popular protest centered on African demands to distill akpeteshie (local gin). Distilled from fermented palm wine or sugar cane juice, and requiring a simple apparatus of two tins (usually four-gallon kerosene tins) and copper tubing,2 akpeteshie quickly became a lucrative industry in an era of economic depression, incorporating extensive production and retail networks. But, far from being associated with just the right to distill spirits, akpeteshie became embroiled in African politics under colonial rule as world depression, World War II and the intensification of nationalism prompted an African re-evaluation of the colonial situation. Local distillation of akpeteshie became widespread in the Gold Coast after 1930, when temperance interests secured restrictive liquor legislation raising the tariffs on imported liquor. As previous increases in import duties on liquor had not adversely affected import levels and the liquor revenues so * Research for this article was made possible by research grants from the African Development Foundation in 1991-2 and from the William F.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

  • A Socio- Economic History of Alcohol in Southeastern Nigeria Since 1890
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study Alcohol has various socio-economic and cultural functions among the people of southeastern Nigeria. It is used in rituals, marriages, oath taking, festivals and entertainment. It is presented as a mark of respect and dignity. The basic alcoholic beverage produced and consumed in the area was palm -wine tapped from the oil palm tree or from the raffia- palm. Korieh notes that, from the fifteenth century contacts between the Europeans and peoples of eastern Nigeria especially during the Atlantic slave trade era, brought new varieties of alcoholic beverages primarily, gin and whisky.1 Thus, beginning from this period, gins especially schnapps from Holland became integrated in local culture of the peoples of Eastern Nigeria and even assumed ritual position.2 From the 1880s, alcohol became accepted as a medium of exchange for goods and services and a store of wealth.3 By the early twentieth century, alcohol played a major role in the Nigerian economy as one third of Nigeria‘s income was derived from import duties on liquor.4 Nevertheless, prior to the contact of the people of Southern Nigeria with the Europeans, alcohol was derived mainly from the oil palm and raffia palm trees which were numerous in the area. These palms were tapped and the sap collected and drunk at various occasions. From the era of the Trans- Atlantic slave trade, the import of gin, rum and whisky became prevalent.These were used in ex-change for slaves and to pay comey – a type of gratification to the chiefs. Even with the rise of legitimate trade in the 19th century alcoholic beverages of various sorts continued to play important roles in international trade.5 Centuries of importation of gin into the area led to the entrenchment of imported gin in the culture of the people.

  • Consumption System of Rattan in Ghana
    A study of the Production-to- Consumption System of Rattan in Ghana by A. Oteng-Amoako (Dr.) Project Leader B. Darko Obiri (Mrs): Socio-Economist S. Britwum (Ms): Computer Analyst J. K Afful-Mensah (Mr.): Research Assistant J. Asiedu (Mr.): Research Assistant E. Ebanyenle (Mr.): Project Assistant FOREST RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF GHANA and INTERNATIONAL NETWORK FOR BAMBOO AND RATTAN Executive Summary Rattans are climbing palms native to tropical forest regions of South-east Asia, the Malay Archipelago and Africa. There are over 650 rattan species worldwide (UhI and Dransfield 1987). Rattans have a wide variety of both household and commercial uses. Recently, their importance in environmental management and conservation has also been recognized. Rattans provide raw materials for the cane furniture industry. About 0.7 billion of the world’s population are involved in the trade of raw rattan materials and their finished products (Dransfield and Manokaran, 1994)., Rattan provides a means of livelihood for collectors, processors and traders in the rattan producing countries of Africa. In Ghana, rattan contributes 20% of the total revenue from NTFPs. Through the National Forest Policy the government of Ghana is promoting the development of NTFPs including rattan to curb rural poverty and ensure sustainable forest resources. Despite its environmental and socio-economic importance to the nation, the rattan sector lacks adequate authoritative basic data required to enhance its development. The study was principally designed to provide a thorough understanding of the rattan production-to-consumption system in Ghana. It was also to identify constraints in the sector and recommend possible development interventions that will transcend these constraints and ensure sustainable development of the sector to particularly, improve the livelihood of the rural stakeholders in the country.

  • Review of the History of Distilled Liquor and Its Impact on the Kumasi People of Ghana
    Review of the History of Distilled Liquor and Its Impact on the Kumasi People of Ghana Samuel ADU-GYAMFI1 Department of History and Political Studies, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi-Ghana [email protected], Wilhemina Joselyn DONKOH2 President, Garden City University College, Kumasi-Ghana, [email protected] Dinah Ntim Akosua GYAMFUAH3 Department of History and Political Studies, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi-Ghana [email protected] Abstract Socio-cultural changes in the pattern of development of a group of people often occur when there is an introduction of foreign cultures. The annexation of Gold Coast brought the Asante Empire under British rule, and from the beginning of the twentieth century Gold Coast witnessed a total transformation of the economy from it subsistence nature to a cash economy. Economic changes associated with diversification and rapid expansion of Gold Coast export mitigated for a demand in labour force. However, the research focused on the people of Kumasi and using the Winick theory of alcohol dependency sought to unveil the socio-cultural changes that occurred within the period under review. Furthermore, with the use of qualitative narrative, interviews, secondary and primary data, the research was undertaken and findings revealed some changes in customs, values, and lifestyle of individuals in the community. It further indicated the role played by colonial influence and administration’s reliance on imported alcohol coupled with the introduction of a new kind of local gin (akpeteshie). It was also discovered that, European influence contributed greatly to changes that occurred in the social and cultural uses of distilled liquor in Kumasi.
