100623 Iptghana Vol 08 Report on Project Evaluation Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning Republic of Ghana Integrated Transport Plan for Ghana Volume 8: Project Evaluation Final Version June 2010 Financed by the 9th European Development Fund Service Contract N° 9 ACP GH019 In association with Egis Bceom International Executive Summary This report presents the process and the results of the project evaluation process used in the Integrated Transport Plan. The methodology for project evaluation has been described in the Multi-criteria Evaluation Manual. The evaluation process compares the “with” and the “without” project situations in order to estimate the benefits from the project. The main economic savings accounted for are savings in travel time and savings in travel costs. Comparing these savings with the project cost is the basis of the economic analysis. In addition to the economic evaluation, a number of social and environmental criteria have been accounted for; these include Environmental Impact, Social Effects, Strategic Access, Inter & Intra-Modal Integration and Local Access. Several projects have been evaluated on the basis of capacity requirements and surface conditions in order to satisfy the future demand for transport. Annex 3 summarizes the evaluation results. The projects identified as economically viable and with their optimal year for putting in operations during this plan period are: Final NPV / Optmum Section Lenght Main Works Multicriteria Disc.Inv.

A multi-dimensional approach The evaluation of the projects is undertaken using a multi-criteria analysis approach integrating economic, social, environmental aspects, strategic access, inter and intra modal integration, and local access aspects: Economic viability . This criterion takes into account the economic viability of the projects and should use indicators based on a cost-benefit approach. Environmental effects . This criterion takes into account the possible negative environmental impacts of the projects. The type of impact may vary from one mode to another. For instance, port projects have an impact on marine ecosystems that has not to be considered for other modes. Social effects . In particular, this criterion takes into account the effects of the project on poverty alleviation. This effect is mainly related to the increasing accessibility to job opportunity and health/education services given to poor people; however, it also takes into account negative impacts such as resettlement. Strategic access . This criterion takes into account the capability of the projects to improve the economic and physical access to strategic transport routes for goods and passengers. Inter and intra modal integration . This criterion is related to interchange facilities required as part of transport infrastructure projects. Local access . This criterion regards local access aspects including integration of NMT. The economic analysis of the projects takes into account, explicitly or implicitly, a number of parameters such as: the population and the type and level of economic activities

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.

The species P. palmivora, P. megakarya, P. capsici, P. citrophthora and P. nicotianae could all be clearly distinguished by PCR amplification of the ITS region followed by restriction analysis with HaeIII, HinfI, PvuII and AluI. This method provided a relatively rapid identification procedure for these species, and was able to distinguish isolates that had previously been misidentified by morphological methods. Sequence analysis showed that the four main cocoa-associated species formed two distinct groups, one comprising P. capsici and P. citrophthora, and the other P. palmivora and P. megakarya. Detailed sequence analysis and comparison with published literature suggested that P. capsici isolates from cocoa may be closely related to P. tropicalis, a species recently described from Cyclamen and Dianthus. Keywords: interspecific variation, rDNA-ITS region, RFLPs or P. capsici, and requires less time for zoospore germination Introduction and penetration on unwounded, detached pods (Campêlo Phytophthora black pod is the most serious disease et al., 1982).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT During the first quarter of the eighteenth century and long after, Bosome led a politically unexciting life. In contrast, the other two Akyera states, Abuakwa and Kotoku, pursued an aggressive foreign policy and tightly guarded their independence against hostile neighbours. Between 1730 and 17^2 they acquired imperial domination over the eastern half of the Gold Coast west of the Volta. In 17^> however, Kotoku succumbed to Asante authority. Abuakwa resisted Asante but yielded to that power in 1783* The fall of the Akyem empire increased the area of Asante domination. The Asante yoke proved unbearable; consequently between 1810 and 1831 the Akyem states, as members of an Afro-European alliance, fought a successful war of independence against that power.
