Bia East District Assembly REPUBLIC OF GHANA THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF THE BIA EAST DISTRICT ASSEMBLY COMPOSITE BUDGET FOR THE 2016 FISCAL YEAR INTRODUCTION Under the Local Government Act 1993, Section 92 (3), Act 462 talks of the implementation of the composite budget system. Under this, the budget of the department of the District Assembly is integrated into the budget of the District Assembly. The District Composite Budgeting System would achieve the following amongst others: a. Ensure that public funds follow functions to give meaning to the transfer of staff transferred from the Civil Service to the Local Government Service. b. Establish an effective integrated budgeting system which supports intended goals, expectation and performance of government at the local level; c. Deepen the uniform approach to planning, budgeting, financial reporting and auditing. d. Facilitate harmonized development and introduce fiscal prudence in the management of public funds at the MMDA level. A PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT 1. The Bia East District Assembly was established in 2012 under the Government Decentralisation Policy Programme by Legislative Instrument 2014. Adabokrom is the district capital and is one of the Twenty two (22) administrative authorities in the Western Region. The District was carved out of the then Bia District Assembly in 2012 as a result of the creation of more Districts and raising some Districts to Municipal status. The total membership of the Assembly is eighteen (18). This is made up of eleven (11) elected members, five (5) Government Appointees, the District Chief Executive and the Member of Parliament. In line with the 1992 constitution, the Assembly has Four (4) Sub- District Structures, namely; There are fifty-five (55) Unit Committee members. Adabokrom Area Council Kaase Area Council FosuKrom Area Council Asemyinakrom Area Council 1 Location and Size The District lies on the northern part of the Western Region and has a total land area of about 874.1 square kilometers. The district shares boundaries with the Dorma West District Assembly to the North, Asunafo North to the North East, La Cote d’Ivoire to the west, and Bia West District to the south west. Population According to 2010 population and Housing Census. The total population reported for the district is 27,393 persons, Males constitute 14,373 (52.5 %), whilst females constitute 13,020 (47.5 %) of the district total population. The total working force is 15,062 whiles Non – working force is 12,331. VEGETATION The District’s vegetation is of the moist semi-deciduous (equatorial rain forest) type The district has two forest reserves namely Akosua Anto and Camp Road forest reserves These reserves have rich diversity of fauna and flora, which has the potential of turning the district into a major tourist destination in the country, and the world at large, if the necessary tourism infrastructure (good roads, hotels, restaurants, and communication facilities) is laid DISTRICT ECONOMY: Structure of Local Economy The local economy is skewed towards agriculture, which employs about 78.7% of the district’s working population The service sector accounts for 2.4 % of the working population. Industrial sector dominated by small-scale industries, like retailers, mechanics forms approximately 8% of the working class. The major problem is the road network linking the communities in the district. Apart from the road linking Adabokrom to Debiso which is tarred, all the road linking to the communities are untarred making it very difficult for transportation and intra trading among communities as well as affecting revenue generation in the district. In view of this we will be reshaping roads within the district. 2 There are 64 primary schools and 26 Junior High Schools, of which, Public schools constitute 43 and 19 respectively. There is no secondary school in the district. In the area of Health, The district has two health Centres at Kaase and Adabokrom (Yet to receive accreditation), Four CHPS compounds and four private clinics. VISION AND MISSION OF THE DISTRICT VISION To envisage a peaceful, progressive and well-developed district with high standard of living for its people in its jurisdiction in a conducive atmosphere, where the dreams and aspiration of its inhabitants can be attained and maximized. MISSION STATEMENT The district exists to improve the living conditions of the people of the District by mobilizing the human and material resources in providing social and infrastructural facilities and services for balanced development 3 BRAOAD POLICY OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS Tab. 1 THEMATIC AREA FOCUS GSSDA II POLICY OUTPUT ACTIVITY AREA OBJECTIVE HUMAN RESOURE INCREASE INCLUSIVE IMPROVE ACCESS TO IMPROVE QUALTY OF DEVELOPMENT AND EQUITABL ACCESS INFRASTURE, LEARNING Education TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR NATIONAL TO EDUCATION AT ALL MATERIALS AND STRETHEN IN THE DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT LEVELD MONITORING AND SUPERVISION BRIDGE THE EQUITY ACCESS TO HEALTH, WATER GAPDS IN THE INPROVE INFRASTURE AND Health AND SANITATION GEOGRAPHICAL ACCESS LOGISTICS IN THE DISTRICT FACILITUES IMPROVED TO HEALTH SERVICES ACCELERATED AGRICULTURAL, PROMOTE SEED AND MODERNIZATION PLANTING MATERIALS INCREASED AGRICULTURAL IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL AND Agriculture FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY PRODUCTIVITY SUSITAINABLE DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 4 TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE, SOCIAL AMENITIES AND EXPANSION OF SOCIAL ENERGY AND Public IMPROVE INFRASTURE AND EMPLOYMENT INFRASTURE IN RURAL HUMAN Works LOGISTICS IN THE DISTRICT OPPORTUNITIES IN COMMUNITIES SETTLEMENT RURAL COMMUNITIES IMPROVE REVENUE IMPROVED ASSEMBLY PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE Local MOBILIZATION AND REVENUE BY 10 % AT THE SUPPORT AND IDENTIFICATION Revenue MANGEMENT END OF THE YEAR OF NEW REVENUE SOURCES TO PROMOTE TRANSPARENT INCREASED CITIZENRY TRANSPARENT AND INVOLVED ALL STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTICIPATION IN THE Governance ACCOUNTABLE IN DECISION MAKING OF THE ACCOUNTABLE DECISION MAKING PROCESS GOVERNACE IN THE ASSEMBLY.

  • Adapting to Changing Conditions Touton CFI Progress Report
    Photo courtesy ofFarmGrow Adapting to Changing Conditions Touton CFI Progress Report - Ghana April 2020 Foreword Touton was among the 12 first signatories of The Cocoa and Forests Initiative declaration that was prepared jointly by the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) and IDH under the auspices of Prince Charles’ International Sustainable Unit development activities. We were particularly heartened by this development as it is aligned with Touton’s strategy in respect to Landscape Governance. This is an area where we have been active for several years, especially in Ghana. We have been working with Forest and Cocoa authorities as well as with implementing partners to develop a holistic approach which goes beyond the impact of climate change at cocoa-farm level. A year ago, Touton published its initial action plans in line with its Cocoa and Forests Initiative commitments. Since then, both the public and private sector actors in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire have taken important steps towards meeting some of the essential targets outlined in the CFI partnership framework agreement. Contents Going forward, one important element that needs to be addressed to unlock some of Foreword 2 the challenges that we still all face is the strengthening of nation-wide traceability systems. Key figures 3 This proves essential to address deforestation but also other crucial elements of a more virtuous supply-chain, i.e. human-rights related considerations and even food safety What is the Cocoa & Forests Initiative? 4 and health issues. In the light of recent events, the conviction that strong partnerships and collaboration between all parties can effect real change is reinforced.

  • Juaboso District
    JUABOSO 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 Juaboso 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.
