    REGIONAL ANALYTICAL REPORT BRONG AHAFO REGION Ghana Statistical Service June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Ghana Statistical Service Prepared by: Martin Kwasi Poku Omar Seidu Clara Korkor Fayorsey Edited by: Kwabena Anaman Chief Editor: Tom K.B. Kumekpor ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There cannot be any meaningful developmental activity 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, and socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. The Kilimanjaro Programme of Action on Population adopted by African countries in 1984 stressed the need for population to be considered as a key factor in the formulation of development strategies and plans. A population census is the most important source of data on the population in a country. It provides information on the size, composition, growth and distribution of the 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 resources, government services and the allocation of government funds among various regions and districts for education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users with an analytical report on the 2010 PHC at the regional level to facilitate planning and decision-making. This follows the publication of the National Analytical Report in May, 2013 which contained information on the 2010 PHC at the national level with regional comparisons. Conclusions and recommendations from these reports are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based policy formulation, planning, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programs.

Recently cassava root rot disease caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae was widespread in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana. Seventy cassava farmers were randomly selected from each of the following Districts of the Brong-Ahafo Region: Dormaa East and Sunyani West Districts and the Nkoranza South Municipal. The farmers were interviewed face to face using a structured questionnaire to obtain information on their knowledge and perception on the cassava root rot disease. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. All the respondents (100%) identified the dark brown fragmented storage root tissue symptom as the final stage of the disease but only 17.1% identified all the symptoms of the disease. Most of the respondents (74.3%) emphasized that cassava root rot disease occur throughout the year but incidence was higher in the rainy season. Only 36.7% indicated that the disease spreads through the soil. Majority (91.4%) reported high rainfall and high temperatures as the cause of the disease; 40% indicated cultivation of susceptible cassava varieties; 60% mentioned delayed harvesting; 41.1% indicated cultivating in waterlogged soils; 6% attributed the disease to glyphosate application; 5.2% indicated high weed density, but none mentioned continuous cropping of cassava as the cause of cassava root rot.
