The. Plan provides the blueprint for the future progress and development of Ghana as a nation. It is a programme of social and economic development based on the use of science and technology to revolutionize our agriculture and industry. It is designed to provide the basis not only of our national progress and prosperity, but also of our ability to contribute to the advancement of the African continent. Our aim is to establish in Ghana a strong and progressive society in which no one will have any anxiety about the basic means of life, about work, food and shelter; where poverty and illiteracy no longer exist and disease is brought under control; and where our educational facilities provide all.the children of Ghana with the best possible opportunities for the development of their potentialities. The material basis for a socialist society can only be created by the labour of its people. This requires the highest sense of dedication on the part of all within the society. In working for the economic and social reconstruction of Ghana, we must see to it that the fruits of the people's labour shall belong to them, n(,}~to any class of exploiters. But first of all we must create the wealth. The only way to build up the national wealth is to maintain a maximum rate of productive investment in industry and agriculture. The Plan, therefore, lays its greatest emphasis on the modernisation of agricul• ture and the most rapid expansion of industrial activity in Ghana. The essential aim of the Plan is to provide for all the people of Ghana who are able and willing to, work, the opportunity for .e~ployment at a high level of productivity. Only in this way can the standard of living of the masses of the African people be raised to a level consisten~ with the human di~ty of the man of the twentieth century. It ~ust be t~e car?lnal duty of all of us In Government, in productive enterprise and l~ our pnvate lives to ensure at all times that everything is done to promote the highest level of activity in agriculture and industry. This development must proceed in such a way as to promote our national Independ~nce ~nd the unity o~ the African continent. We in Ghana have a mixed econ?my In which we have assigned to ?oth public and private enterprise legitimate and Important roles to play In our national development. We intend however to use th~ reso~rces of the State to the maximum degree possible for productive' 't- ment In agnculture and industry. inves FORSWORD The Plan also provides for the development of the social services, of transport and communications, of electJ1ei~ a.m.'~.adlies on a scale hitherto unpre• cedented in Ghana. But proportionately it provides that the rate of investment in agriculture and industry arid in the training of the manpower to run the eOOllomy should increase even faster.· . Apart from the welfare of the indi\ridual Ghanaian, we intend to use the resources which our participation itt the productive economy Yieldsto the State to promote the economic independencSiof Ghana and the unity of'Africa-.It is th~retore planned that the investments of the"lStatein agriculture and industry should be 'so directed that the most strategic sectors of production will come under public Control. Itis also provided in the Plan that Ghana will actively participate in the movemttit towards Africa's economic unity as a part of the eventual.unification·of the cotltinent. Only an economically strong Ghana can play a meaningful role in this historieal process. It is our hope that by the end of this Plan in December, 1970-which wmco~clde with the tenth anniversary of the Republic-firm foundations will have been laid for the complete transformation of Ghana into a strong, industrialised socialist economy and society. The Plan has been prepared by the National Planning Com,missidnunder my Chairmanship, with the assistance of experts from Ghana and abroad. It sets out clearly the effort and sacrifice which will be"required of each of us to enable tlte Plan to succeed. I, for my part, am determined that the Plan shall succeed but my determination must be supported by the combined efforts of the whole nation, in• cluding Members of Parliament, our Public Servants, our farmers and our working people. In this spirit, I charge all of you to study this Plan very carefully and in doing so to consider what Ghana requires of you in respect of its implementation. If we all work hard and conscientiously at our tasks under this Plan, we can look forward with hope to a new Ghana where the opportunities for work and happiness will be matched by the abundant fruits of labour for all. ~, / ....: ~7~ _",,+-,o..l4 President of the Republic of GhanQ . Vl The Planning Commission was. set up in October, 1961 and a start wa~ made then with the building up of an OiliQe,to service it. In spite of the small size .and relativeinexperience of the app~ratus of planning in Ghana it W~Seat"lyon decided to attempt a comprehensive Plan along the lines set out in this document rather th~l) to restrict our planning to the drawing up of a public investment programme as 'ha.dbeen done hitherto in this and other developingcountries. It was obvious that a public economic policy that mostly concerned itself with the traditional govern• ment services was no longer adequate: the gro\Y1hof the productive economy in all Its aspects must now become the central concern of Government. EspeciallY,with the increasing need to define the Qov~rnment's socialist objectives in terms of economic development and to build up rapidly the public and co-operative s,~tor in the productive economy it was no longer possible to maintain the narrower concept of planning. It was also considered necessary to introduce the people of Ghana more fully into the l;)ackgroundand.disciplinesof economic policy; to show them how the sacrifices and efforts that, ~ey tna.~eilltheir own ihdividual sphere contribute to the total national development; how the nation mustset its priorities in order to obtain the maximum progress; how in choosing to do 'one thing we must forgo the chance to do some other desirable thillg--!ispecially, how and wny it is proposed to save a large part of our national wealth to spend OD development in• stead of spending it on immediate constl11ipfion. The Ghana economy is already a fairly complex one. The task of drawing up a comprehensivePlan for it was made more difficult for the new planning organisa• tion by the fact that we are as yet in the process of building up an adequate stock of statistical information about the country. These difficultieswere partly made up for by the nature of the Planning Commission. The membership of the Commission covered a very wide field of knowledgeand experiencedrawn from the civil service, the universitiesand business. This expert body was organised into a series of Commit• tees, each Committee being empowered to co-opt as many other members as it needed. The present Plan is essentiallythe distillation of all the ideas and suggestions thrown up in the course of the work of these Committees throughout 1962.A great debt of gratitude is owed to these members of the Planning Commission-a list of whose names is shown in Appendix A-and to all the other experts who assisted them. In order to draw upon an even wider store of expertise and to profit by the experience of other parts of the world which have passed through or are currently in a similar stage of development to Ghana's a Conference was organised in April, 1963to discuss an earlier draft of the Plan. To this Conference was invited a panel INT.R_UCOON of internationally eminent authorities ir1tae icdd of economies and. plano.. ,.fIGat oth~r African countries (set" ~~.s..tl. maaJ<loW' prefessiollal, business and educational authorities. The sua.stions and criticisms of all these people have helped us to produoe a set of proposals for Ghana's economic develop- meat which we know are ~di1BcuItbut pmoticaa~. Inevitably the result of this first effort at comprehensive planning must be far from perfect from the te,,'bbicat pOint ot view. Much work remains to be done in working out detailed prolranunes of implementation and hi planning inclividual projects.

    University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh A HISTORY OF DIVINE WORD MISSIONARIES IN GHANA: 1938-2010 BY JOSEPH KWASI ADDAI (10328424) THIS THESIS IS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA, LEGON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE AWARD OF M.PHIL RELIGIONS DEGREE JUNE, 2012 University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh DECLARATION This thesis, with the exception of materials quoted from other scholarly works which have been acknowledged fully, is the original production of research work by the researcher under the supervision of Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo and Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom- Batsa at the Department for the Study of Religions, University of Ghana. Any error in this thesis is fully acknowledged as the fault of the researcher. Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Joseph Kwasi Addai (Student) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Prof. Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo (Supervisor) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom-Batsa (Supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT The problem of this study was that, although the SVD missionaries have been a major partner in the evangelizing mission of the Roman Catholic Church in Ghana since their arrival in 1938, their specific contribution to the growth and development of the Catholic Church in Ghana has not been fully assessed. The objective of this thesis therefore is to appraise the missionary activities of the SVD within Ghanaian Catholic Church, and also assess their relevance in contemporary Ghanaian Christianity as a whole. Using the historical method and approach, chapter two traces the history of the SVD from the time of the arrival of the first two missionaries up to the time the mission was handed over to a diocesan bishop in 1971.

  • A Word from the Provincial
    A WORD FROM THE PROVINCIAL Dear Confreres, We have just finished the old year and find ourselves in a new year. This new year brings new hopes and dreams, or revives hopes and dreams that have faded away perhaps. This is good, from time to time we need to start anew. Our confreres are still sharing their Christmas and New Year joy. The German speaking confreres are having their party as I write these lines. Other groups have had or soon will have their parties and gatherings too. These events can encourage us on to do our best in this New Year. This Friday, as I write, January 15 we celebrate our Founder’s Feast Day. I hope all our communities and parishes will have something special to remember our Founder. Two weeks later we will celebrate the feast day of our first saintly missionary, Joseph Freinademetz. In the south we will also be celebrating Family Feast with our Holy Spirit Sisters at Madonna in Koforidua on the same day. All are invited. By now all of you should have received the resolutions, statements, etc. of the province chapter. We are still waiting to hear from Rome about our Vision and Mission Statements. It would be good for the various districts and houses to go through these documents in their meeting to see how they can be implemented. We were all shocked when we heard the news of Bishop Lucas Abadamloora’s death. It came just as we were about to begin our Christmas celebrations and festivities. We pray that the Good Lord has given him his well deserved reward.

  • Asuogyaman District
    ASUOGYAMAN 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 Asuogyaman 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.

One said to the other, “Come on, let us have at least one quarrel like other people.” The other said, “I don‟t know how to start a quarrel. The first said, “I will take this brick and place it here between us. Then I will say, “It is mine.” Then you will say, “It is mine.” This is what leads to a dispute and a quarrel. So they placed the brick between them. And one said, “It is mine.” The other replied to the first, “I do believe that it is mine.” The first one said again, “It is not yours, it is mine.” And the other answered, “Well then, if it is yours, take it.” And …you will receive the that was it they were unable to start the quarrel.
