Given the nature and range of child protection issues, a large number of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) are responsible for the different services. Consequently, there is no single “budget” for child protection, but rather allocations are subsumed in various programmes, sub-programmes and activities across different MDAs, and very often expenditures on child protection are not clearly distinguishable from broader programme spending. To complicate things further, with decentralisation a Department of Social Welfare and Community Development was created under each of the 260 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). The staff in these departments are the core social welfare services workforce. MMDAs are responsible for budgeting for these staff and the goods and services they require to perform their duties. While decentralisation is intended to bring services (and the governance of services) closer to communities, at this early stage it appears to have weakened the linkages between policy agencies and service providers. Also, it has diluted the funding of child protection, since MMDAs do not have the revenue-base to adequately fund child protection services and structures. For the purposes of this budget analysis, the child protection sector is divided into four areas, namely i. overall coordination and policy framework for child protection, ii. child and family welfare services, iii. justice for children and iv. birth registration. Some of these areas have clear budget lines or sub-programmes, while for others the budgets are part of broader programmes and not easily identified. For this analysis, the main focus is on the budgets and expenditures of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, and the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development. The latter Ministry includes the budgets for local government services and the Births and Deaths Registry. Budget and expenditure information comes from the relevant ministries’ Programme

  • Constituency Service in Ghana
    Constituency Service in Ghana Joseph Luna⇤ August 20, 2015 Abstract Constituency service is an important duty for politicians. Numerous scholars argue that this duty is critical for reelection (Fiorina 1977, Fenno 1978). In the African context, constituency service is also important for both electoral and social reasons, but research on this topic primarily focuses on national legislators. Based on my fieldwork observations, I argue that citizens in sub–Saharan Africa often turn to local politicians for a variety of reasons. Drawing from a survey administered to 2809 Ghanaian cocoa farmers, I employ a non-parametric matching design to determine which factors drive these farmers to seek help from various local leaders. I find nuanced results across treatments spanning economic, political and demographic dimensions. The results of this research hold numerous implications for scholars and practitioners. I. Introduction Addressing constituent requests is an important task for politicians all over the world. For politicians, meeting these requests can translate into votes and ultimate reelection. Fenno (1978) examines the “home styles” of United States congressmen, detailing the various ways in which they interact with constituents and satisfy their requests. Fiorina (1977) also em- phasizes the role congressmen play in “unsticking” the bureaucracy for constituents with ⇤[email protected]. Michael Hiscox and Jens Hainmueller courteously permitted my use of data gathered by the Harvard–Ghana Cocoa Team, on which I am a member. Special thanks to the seventy Ghanaians who administered the survey and the 2809 farmers who patiently donated their time. Further special thanks to Abednego Majisi for assistance at the Parliament of Ghana and to the Department of Cooperatives for facilitating focus groups.

  • Second CODEO Pre-Election Observation Report
    Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) CONTACT Secretariat: +233 (0) 244 350 266/ 0277 744 777 Email: [email protected]: Website: www.codeoghana.org SECOND PRE-ELECTION ENVIRONMENT OBSERVATION STATEMENT STATEMENT ON THE VOTER REGISTER Introduction The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) is pleased to release its second pre- election observation report, which captures key observations of the pre-election environment during the month of October 2020, ahead of the December 7, 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections of Ghana. The report is based on weekly reports filed by 65 Long-Term Observers (LTOs) deployed across 65 selected constituencies throughout the country. The observers have been monitoring the general electoral and political environment including the activities of key election stakeholders such as the Electoral Commission (EC), the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), political parties, the security agencies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and religious and traditional leaders. Below are key findings from CODEO’s observation during the period. Summary of Findings: • Similar to CODEO’s observations in the month of September 2020, civic and voter education activities were generally low across the various constituencies. • There continues to be generally low visibility of election support activities by CSOs, particularly those aimed at peace promotion. • COVID-19 health and safety protocols were not adhered to during some political party activities. • The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) remain the most visible political parties in the constituencies observed as far as political and campaign- related activities are concerned. Main Findings Preparatory Activities by the Electoral Commission Observer reports showed intensified preparatory activities by the EC towards the December 7, 2020 elections.

  • The Parliament of Ghana: a Countervailing Force in the Governance Process?
    The Parliament of Ghana: A countervailing force in the governance process? By Ernest Darfour Ghana (or the Gold Coast at the time), established its first semblance of a Parliament (Legislative Council) in 1850 with representatives appointed by the British colonial government. The Legislative Council consisted of the Governor and at least two other person appointed by the colonial administration. The Legislative Council was required to make laws and ordinances necessary for the peace, order and governance of the Gold Coast. The legislature at the time was merely an advisory body and had no oversight power over the colonial government. Various agitations against the colonial authorities for equal representation and universal suffrage led to the transformation of the non-elected legislature into an elected Legislative Assembly in 1954. After gaining independence in March 1957, Ghana saw four Parliaments under four different Republics (i.e. First Republican Constitution of 1960, the Second Republican Constitution of 1969, the Third Republican Constitution of 1981 and the Fourth Republican Constitution of 1992). The incessant interventions of the military in politics truncated the terms of the first three Parliaments in 1966, 1972 and 1981. The democratic instability that was witnessed over the period ensured that Parliament was an unstable governance institution until 1993, when democracy was finally restored under the Fourth Republic. Since then, Ghana has conducted six multiparty elections that have been described as free and fair by both international and local observers. Five Parliaments have been elected and 1 completed their terms successfully, with the Sixth Parliament gradually approaching its expiration in January 2017.

  • Original Research Article
    Original Research Article Socioeconomic Impact Development Projects on the Livelihood of Farmers within the Inundation Zone- A Case Study of the Bui Dam Hydroelectric Project Abstract The development of major social projects such as hydroelectric dams, roads and mining often result in the loss of property and sometimes relocation of the affected people or communities. This paper examined the impact of the Bui Dam Hydroelectric project on the livelihood of the people affected, especially farmers in the Bono Region of Ghana. The paper also reviewed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report of the project in line with the Environmental Protection Agency requirement, examined the compensation and the living conditions of the farmers in the affected communities. Interviews and focus group discussions of farmers in four communities were conducted which was later followed by the administration of questionnaires to seventy-five (75) farmers. The review of the ESIA report of the Bui dam showed that an extensive ESIA was conducted with only a few lapses outlined in the text. The interviews and the questionnaires revealed that the farmers who were relocated have problems with land acquisition, soil fertility and irrigation facilities when they were moved to their new location. There were also concerns about inadequate payment of compensations and unfulfilled promises. However, about 97.3% of the respondents were comfortable at their new location because of the proximity to health services, access to good roads, nice buildings and provision of some basic social amenities such as light and water, as well as possible business and employment opportunities. The paper makes suggestions for improving compensations and resettlement schemes in Ghana.
