Bases of Chieftaincy Disputes in Juaso in the Asante Akyem South Municipality in Ghana
American Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Vol. 5, No. 1, 2021, pp. 1-13 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ajefm ISSN: 2381-6864 (Print); ISSN: 2381-6902 (Online) Bases of Chieftaincy Disputes in Juaso in the Asante Akyem South Municipality in Ghana Victoria Asante-Hanson 1, *, Frank Ato Tabil 2, Emmanuel Brew 3, 1 Francis Tetteh-Osei 1Department of Social Sciences, Presbyterian Women’s College of Education, Aburi, Ghana 2Department of Social Sciences, Seventh Day Adventist College of Education, Asokori-Koforidua, Ghana 3Department of Social Sciences, Enchi College of Education, Enchi, Ghana Abstract This study focused on the issues surrounding the chieftaincy dispute in Juaso and its developmental implications. It involved 12 participants who were sampled through purposive, snowballing, convenient, and maximal variation for interview. Semi- structured interview and participant observation were employed in data collection. This study adopted a qualitative content analysis to analyze data from interviews and participants’ observations. Narrative analysis based on themes under which literature was reviewed was done. Using content analysis, salient points from recorded responses from oral interview and field notes from non-verbal cues were described with some table presentation where necessary or when required. The study revealed that, competition among the ruling gates, intruders desiring to ascend the stool and the quest for Omanhene’s status and opposition from political powers were some causes of the chieftaincy dispute in Juaso prior to the reign of Nana Owusu Akyaw Prempeh. The study recommended that, the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) should take up campaigns to educate people on chieftaincy affairs. This might help to reduce the vulnerability of the chiefs and their people to manipulation by intruders. -

KOFI ANNAN INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING TRAINING CENTRE POLICY BRIEF 6 | September 2019 Addressing the Causes and Consequences of the Farmer-Herder Conflict in Ghana [ Margaret Adomako] SUMMARY For several years, tensions have existed between local farmers and Fulani herdsmen in Ghana. However, various factors have recently, contributed to the tensions taking on a violent nature and becoming one of Ghana’s foremost security threats. Based on an extensive fieldwork conducted in 2016/2017, this policy brief discusses the causes of the Farmer-herder conflict and its consequences on the security, social and economic structures of the country. It looks at the shortfalls of Operation Cowleg, the major intervention that has been implemented by the state and concludes with a few policy relevant recommendations which includes a nationwide registration of herdsmen to support the government in the implementation of an effective taxation system.

South Dayi District
SOUTH DAYI DISTRICT i 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 South Dayi 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. -

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. -
Socio-Economic Status of International Return Migrants to the Berekum Municipality of Ghana Elijah Yendaw Department of Populati
Socio-economic status of international return migrants to the Berekum Municipality of Ghana Elijah Yendaw Department of population and Health University of Cape Coast, Ghana Introduction In the past, migration has generally been seen as reflecting the failure of development; or worse, as contributing to a vicious cycle in which poverty in the migration source country was reinforced. However, there is now a growing recognition that migration, both internal and international, can offer an important route out of poverty for many people from developing countries (Black, King & Tiemoko, 2003). Rather than a vicious cycle, migration is increasingly seen as part of a virtuous interaction in which development is enhanced, not only in the destination country but also in the sending country (Weinstein, 2001). People migrate in search of a better life, new job or education opportunities and/or as a result of political and economic changes, crises and wars. For various reasons some of them return to their country of origin, and especially the highly skilled can stimulate or support knowledge-based economic development. The return migration of highly skilled can thus contribute to reverse the negative effects of what has been discussed as brain drain, especially in developing and newly industrializing countries (Iredale & Guo, 2001, Hunger, 2004). The arguments used are, for example, the role of remittances and repatriated savings in overcoming capital constraints (Ilahi, 1999; Mesnard, 2004) and the accumulation of human capital (e.g. business skills and ideas) through exposure to the host country’s market economy environment (McCormick & Wahba, 2001; Dustmann & Kirchkamp, 2002). The role of return migration as a 1 development tool has increasingly been attracting the attention of policy- makers and others in both the migration and development domains (IOM, 2008).
