    FtF-USAID AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROJECT SIL-ADVANCE-ATT SOYBEAN THRESHER DESIGN AND FABRICATION TRAINING REPORT OF WORK COMPLETED; August 25, 2016 Kerry Clark, Soybean Innovation Lab; [email protected] 209 Mumford Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211; 1-660-351-4696 http://soybeaninnovationlab.illinois.edu/ The objective of this workshop was to teach business development and design and fabrication of crop threshers appropriate for smallholder use and financial means to 12 community-oriented blacksmiths from Upper West, Upper East and Northern Ghana (three from each region plus three from Tamale Implement Factory). The rationale for the training was that locally fabricated threshers can be produced more inexpensively than imports and local fabrication expertise will provide a knowledgeable work force for thresher maintenance and repair. There is currently very little local production of timesaving equipment such as threshers in Ghana. More widespread availability and lower costs will allow more smallholder farmers to access thresher technology, reducing workload and harvest drudgery, and allowing for easier scale-up of production agriculture. Details of the training are listed in following sections, but I first want to communicate the essence of the training. I believe that this was one of the best workshops that I have ever participated in during my 27 year career working in agriculture. The trainers were excellent and hit on incredibly important topics, the venue was well suited for the event, and the participants were extremely receptive and appreciative of the lessons. I believe that the subject matter was incredibly appropriate and the timing of the training was essential for the blossoming of a new industry in Ghana at a time when the country is poised for new technology that can lead to increased production and improved agricultural sustainability.

    Research for Development (R4D) platform facilitation and climate change sensitization in Africa RISING Ghana sites Naaminong Karbo Produced by CSIR, Ghana Published by International Institute of Tropical Agriculture January 2017 www.africa-rising.net The Africa Research In Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) program comprises three research-for-development projects supported by the United States Agency for International Development as part of the U.S. government’s Feed the Future initiative. Through action research and development partnerships, Africa RISING will create opportunities for smallholder farm households to move out of hunger and poverty through sustainably intensified farming systems that improve food, nutrition, and income security, particularly for women and children, and conserve or enhance the natural resource base. The three regional projects are led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (in West Africa and East and Southern Africa) and the International Livestock Research Institute (in the Ethiopian Highlands).

    A History of German Presence in Nawuriland, Ghana

    African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands Gyama Bugibugi (German gunpowder): A history of German presence in Nawuriland, Ghana Samuel Aniegye Ntewusu ASC Working Paper 133 / 2016 African Studies Centre P.O. Box 9555 2300 RB Leiden The Netherlands Telephone +31-71-5273372 E-mail [email protected] Website www.ascleiden.nl © Samuel Aniegye Ntewusu, 2016 GYAMA BUGIBUGI (German Gunpowder): A HISTORY OF GERMAN PRESENCE IN NAWURILAND, GHANA Abstract This paper discusses general political and economic issues in Nawuriland during and after German colonialism. The paper argues that the legacies of German colonialism are still largely seen and felt in Nawuriland especially in plantation projects, land and chieftaincy. Introduction The Nawuri are part of the larger Guan group in Ghana. Guans are believed to be the first settlers in modern day Ghana. They are scattered across eight of the ten regions in Ghana- namely Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Brong Ahafo, Volta, Northern, Western and Central regions. Guans speak distinct languages that are different from the major languages in Ghana examples of which include the Ga-Dangbe, Akan and Ewe. Guans in the Volta Region include Kraakye/Krachi, Akpafu/Lolobi, Buem, Nkonya, Likpe, Logba and Anum-Boso. In the central region there are the Effutu, Awutu and Senya in Winneba and Bawjiase. One finds Larteh, Anum, Mamfi and Kyerepong in the Eastern region. The Gonja, Nawuri, Nchumburu and Mpre people in the Northern and Brong Ahafo regions. Some indigenes of Kpeshie in Greater Accra also claim Guan ancestry.1 Geographically, the Nawuri are located in the North-Eastern part of Ghana. They are about 461kms away from Accra, the capital of Ghana.

    REPUBLIC OF GHANA THE COMPOSITE BUDGET OF THE SAVELUGU/NANTON MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY FOR THE 2014 FISCAL YEAR For Copies of this MMDA’s Composite Budget, please contact the address below: The Coordinating Director, Savelugu/Nanton Municipal Assembly Northern Region This 2013 Composite Budget is also available on the internet at: www.mofep.gov.gh or www.ghanadistricts.com SAVELUGU/NANTON MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY Page 2 INTRODUCTION 1. Section 92 (3) of the Local Government Act 1993, Act 462 envisages the implementation of the composite budget system under which the budget of the departments of the Municipal Assembly would be integrated into the budget of the Assembly as a whole. 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. 2. In 2011, Government directed all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to prepare for the fiscal year 2012, Composite budgets which integrated budgets of departments under Schedule I of the Local Government (Departments of District Assemblies) (Commencement) Instrument, 2009, (L.I.1961). This policy initiative would upscale full implementation of fiscal decentralization and ensure that the utilization of all public resources at the local level takes place in an efficient, effective, transparent and accountable manner for improved service delivery.

This was the first meeting of the Commission since February 2000. After thorough review of materials submitted, including reports of International Certification Teams in some instances, the Commission recommended that Senegal and Yemen of the recently endemic countries be certified as now free of dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease). Senegal and Yemen detected their last indigenous cases of the disease in 1997. Senegal thus becomes the first of the recently-endemic African countries, and Yemen the last of the recently-endemic Asian countries (India and Pakistan are the others) to be recommended for certification by the Commission. The Commission also recommended that the director-general of WHO certify the following 15 countries: “Cape Verde, Comoros, Congo Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Israel, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Madagascar, Mauritius, Palestine (West-Bank and Gaza strip), Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Serbia-Montenegro, and Uruguay”.
