  • 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.

    USD FLP: Global Administration of Health Services May 8 – 21, 2016 TENTATIVE ITINERARY (Subject to change without notice) Day 1 -­­ Depart the US for Ghana Flight details and exact dates to be determined Day 2 -­­ Arrival in Accra Welcome at the airport. Transfer to hotel with your guide, Nathan. Welcome drink at the hotel. If anyone is still hungry, Nathan will show everyone a good place to eat. • Hotel: Afia African Village (hot water, AC, stand-•‐by generator and WIFI) • http://www.afiavillage.com Day 3 -­­ Accra: Colonial Areas, Mausoleum, Market [BLD] Breakfast at the hotel AM: Get over jetlag with visits to Accra's highlights: The Colonial Areas, Mausoleum and Market. The Colonial Areas include Jamestown, Usshertown and the Lighhouse, the oldest districts in Accra. The names come from the 17th century British James Fort and Ussher Fort. The Nkrumah Mausoleum houses the tomb of Kwane Nkrumah, who declared Ghana's independence from the very spot where is brone statue stands. In 1957, he became the first sub-•‐Saharan leader to gain independence. In 1966, he was ousted in a coup and fled to Guinea, never to return to Ghana alive. The Accra Market has an impressive wealth of products and foods from around the country spread out in seemingly no particular order through the winding walkways. The prices start high, and bargaining is expected. It is large enough to spend the rest of your day here, perhaps, but you'll have a chance to come back another day on your own if you like. Those who are too tired to go to the market (it is a bit of a drive) can relax at the restaurant on the beach and enjoy the view.

  • TEMA; AFCONS Infrastructure Open to More Opportunities Ahead of $20 Million Bridge Construction on Volta Lake- Executive Director
    TEMA; AFCONS Infrastructure open to more opportunities ahead of $20 million bridge construction on Volta lake- Executive Director Posted on November 4, 2019 The Executive Director of the AFCONS Infrastructure Limited, contractors on the Tema Mpakadam Railway Project, Akhil Gupta, has expressed optimism of his company partnering government to address the infrastructure deficit facing the country. He made the statement ahead of Tuesday’s Sod Cutting of a 20-million-dollar railway bridge on the Volta Lake by the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo. The 400 meters railway bridge to be constructed by AFCONS Infrastructure on the Volta Lake would be two and half downstream off the Adomi Bridge in the Eastern Region. Ahead of the project, the Executive Director of the company Akhil Gupta, spoke on the company’s plans for the 20 million dollars, adding that it intends to improve with respect to infrastructure in the country. Mr Gupta in an interview with Atinka Tv, said the impending project which would be very challenging, will give them the needed boost to bid for other projects in the country, judging from their high portfolio of major projects undertaken in the Marine, Road, Port and Construction sectors across the globe. He said the company is opened to the railway development in the Northern Region of the country as well as the rehabilitation of some major road networks in the capital, especially the Tema-Accra Roads. For his part, the Project Manager at AFCONS, U.V Singh said the 400 meters bridge project which would be completed in September 2020, would not only improve railway transportation in that suburb of the country but as well the country’s revenue since that stretch links to that of the landlocked countries including Burkina Faso.
