The District is located in the southern part of the Lower Volta Basin and shares boundaries with Central and North Tongu Districts to the North; Akatsi South District to the East; Keta Municipal to the South and Ada East District of the Greater Accra region to the West. The District has 2016 projected population of 102,172 which is made up of 50.9 percent females and 49.1 percent males. The population density is about 196 persons per square kilometer. The District is largely rural (87.1%) with only 12.9 percent of the population living in urban localities. One of the core functions of the District Assembly as stipulated in Section 10 (3) of Local Government Act 1993, Act 462 is to formulate and execute development plans, programmes and strategies for the effective mobilization of the resources necessary for the overall development of the District. Government of Ghana has been committing a lot of resources to support a wide range of development interventions that are designed to improve standard of living of the people. In order to properly co-ordinate and track implementation of these development interventions, an Annual Action Plan was prepared out of the District Medium Term Development Plan to guide programmes and projects implementation in the District. In order to ensure that public resources are used prudently, monitoring and evaluation has become relevant in generating reliable and accurate information to help the District Assembly, government and other stakeholders to make sound policies and decisions. This report provides comprehensive information on progress of implementation of programmes and projects of the District Assembly and its departments. 1.1.1 Vision The South Tongu District Assembly aspires to be one of the best managed District Assemblies in Ghana. 4 1.1.2 Mission The South Tongu District Assembly aspires to improve the living conditions of its citizenry through effective and efficient mobilization and utilization of physical, financial and human resources in partnership with the private sector and other stakeholders. 1.2 KEY OBJECTIVES OF THE REPORT The main objectives of the report are to: 1. Assess the performance and progress of implementation of 2016 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and 2014-2017 District Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP). 2. Determine the implementation status of the 2016 AAP by departments of the District Assembly and other agencies in the District. 3. Provide the needed basic and local level information to stakeholders to enable them make informed development decisions. 1.3 METHODOLOGY OF PREPARING THE REPORT Preparation of this report started with a DPCU meeting and consultation with stakeholders to explain the objectives and processes involved in the preparation of the report. Field visits and review of reports and documents was carried out to get the needed data from departments and other agencies on the implementation of programmes and projects in 2016. Also, data was collected on implementation of key social intervention programmes such as school feeding programme, lively empowerment against poverty, free educational materials distribution, capitation grants and many others. 1.4 DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE REPORT Difficulties encountered include delay in accessing reports and documents from some departments and agencies in the District. There is also limited means of transport to facilitate easy movement of staff to departments for data collection. However, through the hard work of the District Planning and Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU) the report was successfully prepared with input from departments. 5 CHAPTER TWO IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES 2.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF 2016 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN As mentioned earlier, the 2016 Annual Action Plan was prepared out of the 2014-2017 District Medium Term Development Plan. The District Assembly focused much on completion of on- going projects mainly in the area of education, health, water and sanitation. However, some new projects under education and health were also tackled by the District Assembly. Revenue mobilization, farmers’ day celebration as well as public health programmes and school supervision were carried out under the seven thematic areas of the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II. The District Assembly undertook and supervised the implementation of about 48 physical projects as summarized in the table below. The Table shows that about 14 projects representing 29.8 percent were completed while the remaining ones are at various stages of completion. Projects being undertaken and funded under GETFund accounted for the larger number of on- going projects in the District which are mainly in the education sector. However, District Development Facility (DDF) and District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) projects received some attention in terms of their completion on time. The District Assembly departments and other agencies in the District

    AKATSI NORTH 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 Akatsi North 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.

Yeboah Augusta Okantey Emmanuel Nii Okang Tawiah Edited by: N.N.N. Nsowah-Nuamah Chief Editor: Nii Bentsi-Enchill 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.

    ENGAGEMENT OF A FIRM FOR DATA COLLECTION IN THE VOLTA REGION OF GHANA FOR THE GHANA NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD REGISTRY (GNHR) P164603 CR No 6337-GH REF No.: GH-MOGCSP-190902-CS-QCBS I. BACKGROUND & CONTEXT The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP) as a responsible institution to coordinate the implementation of the country’s social protection system has proposed the establishment of the Ghana National Household Registry (GNHR), as a tool that serves to assist social protection programs to identify, prioritize, and select households living in vulnerable conditions to ensure that different social programs effectively reach their target populations. The GNHR involves the registry of households and collection of basic information on their social- economic status. The data from the registry can then be shared across programs. In this context, the GNHR will have the following specific objectives: a) Facilitate the categorization of potential beneficiaries for social programs in an objective, homogeneous and equitable manner. b) Support the inter-institutional coordination to improve the impact of social spending and the elimination of duplication c) Allow the design and implementation of accurate socioeconomic diagnoses of poor people, to support development of plans, and the design and development of specific programs targeted to vulnerable and/or low-income groups. d) Contribute to institutional strengthening of the MoGCSP, through the implementation of a reliable and central database of vulnerable groups. For the implementation of the Ghana National Household Registry, the MoGCSP has decided to use a household evaluation mechanism based on a Proxy Means Test (PMT) model, on which welfare is determined using indirect indicators that collectively approximate the socioeconomic status of individuals or households.
