Section 92 (3) of the local Government Act (Act 462) envisages the implementation of the composite budget system under which the budgets of the departments of the District Assemblies would be integrated into the budgets of the District Assemblies. The District Composite Budgeting system would achieve the following amongst others: Ensure that public funds follow functions and it will give meaning to the transfer of staff transfer from the Civil Service to the Local Government Service; Establish an effective integrated budgeting system which supports intended goals, expectation and performance of government; Deepen the uniform approach to planning, budgeting, financial reporting and auditing 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 the composite budget which integrates departments under Schedule one of the Local Government Integration of Department Act LI 1961. This policy initiative will 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. 3. The Composite Budget of the Kpandai District Assembly for the 2013 Fiscal Year has been prepared from the 2013 Annual Action Plan lifted from the 2010-2013 DMTDP which is aligned to the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (2010-2013). The Main thrust of the Budget is to accelerate the growth of the District Economy and increase access to both health and education so that Kpandai District Assembly can achieve Middle Income Status under a decentralized democratic environment.

  • 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.

  • The Dilemma of Resolving the Inter-Ethnic Conflict Between the Nawuri and the Gonja of Northern Ghana
    The International Journal Of Humanities & Social Studies (ISSN 2321 - 9203) www.theijhss.com THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL STUDIES One Conflict, Three Resolution Mechanisms: The Dilemma of Resolving the Inter-Ethnic Conflict between the Nawuri and the Gonja of Northern Ghana Dr. Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Lecturer, Department of History, University of Ghana, Legion, Ghana Abstract: In the 1990s, Northern Ghana grappled with ethnic conflicts of different magnitude. Many of these conflicts were ‘colonial conflicts’ as their causes are rooted in colonial policies, but few others had no reference to colonialism; they were occasioned by local exigencies. The Nawuri-Gonja conflict was one of the ‘colonial conflicts’, which ravaged the Kpandai area in 1991 and 1992. During and after the armed encounters between the Nawuri and the Gonja, various attempts were made to resolve the conflict. Traditional authorities, the Government, local and international NGOs jumped into the ‘conflict resolution wagon’ and took turns in three successive attempts to resolve the conflict. The conflict seemed intractable and an albatross as attempts to resolve it did not yield the results desired. This paper delineates the attempts made to resolve the Nawuri-Gonja conflict between 1991 and 1996, and argues that resolving the conflict was a dilemma and unsuccessful. Keywords: Bimbilla Na, Committee, Conflict, Gonja, Kpandai, Nawuri, peace, resolution, mediation. 1. Introduction In the early pre-colonial period, Kpandai and its environs in Northern Ghana were inhabited by the Nawuri (the autochthones) and the Gonja (the immigrants). The Nawuri claim autochthony and trace their origins to Afram plains and Larteh Akuapem in Southern Ghana.

  • District Profile
    KPANDAI DISTRICT PROFILE 1.2.1 Introduction This section examines the geophysical characteristics of the District including the demography, culture, the district economy, social services, vulnerability as well as HIV/AIDs and gender, nature and status of the built environment as well as the current situation in relation to the seven pillars of the Medium-Term Development Policy Framework. 1.2.3 Geophysical Characteristics 1.2.3.1 Location and size The District can be located at the South-Eastern corner of the Northern Region of Ghana and lies between latitudes 8º N and 9.29º N and longitudes 0.29 º E and 1.26ºW. It is bordered to the North by Nanumba South District, East Gonja to the West, Krachi West District to the South-West, Nkwanta North District to the East and Pru District in Brong Ahafo Region to the South The District has a total surface area of 1,772.04sqkm with water covering about 5%. The District is strategically located – the central point between the Northern part and Southern part of the Eastern corridor of Ghana. The District can therefore take advantage of its strategic location to be a gateway to both the Southern and Northern Ghana. Similarly, strategic facilities of national importance aimed at wider coverage for both the southern and northern Ghana can be conveniently located in the district to achieve the desired results. Being strategically located in the transitional zone, the district has the advantage of experiencing mixed climatic conditions that have both positive and adverse implications for the district‟s development.

  • Kpandai District
    KPANDAI DISTRICT 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 Kpandai 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.
