Upper East Region
REGIONAL ANALYTICAL REPORT UPPER EAST REGION Ghana Statistical Service June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Ghana Statistical Service Prepared by: ZMK Batse Festus Manu John K. Anarfi Edited by: Samuel K. Gaisie 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.

Preventing Illegal Gold Mining by Supporting Self Reliance
Preventing Illegal Gold Mining by Supporting Self Reliance Vocational Training in Upper East Region Talensi and Nabdam Districts, to develop trade skills and reduce illegal mining. TRAX, Ghana www.tfsr.org Preventing Illegal Gold Mining by Supporting Self Reliance Vocational Training in Upper East Region Talensi and Nabdam Districts, to develop trade skills and reduce illegal mining. Delivered by TRAX, Ghana This project aimed to reduce the number of young adults engaging in galamsey (illegal gold mining) by providing reliable and sustainable livelihood opportunities as an alternative way to earn an income. The presence of gold deposits discovered in the targeted communities has attracted a high number of unemployed young people, particularly those with a low level of formal education, into illegal small-scale gold-mining, locally referred to as galamsey. Due to the lack of opportunities, many young people turn to galamsey as a source of income. It is a high risk activity which causes environmental degradation, and social disruption. The project was located During this project, 22 young adults were trained in a trade in Bolgatanga, Ghana skill and equipped and supported to establish a small business and/or enter in to formal, safer employment. Each participant was attached to a master craftsperson and are supported to in turn train an additional two people upon completion of their training course. Project duration December 2017—December 2018 Project evaluation July 2019 Beneficiaries received training in either bicycle repairs, motorbike repairs, shoe repairs, tailoring, masonry or welding and fabrication. Their twelve-month programme also included literacy and numeracy, and an intensive life skills and functional business management programme.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CODEO’S STATEMENT ON THE OFFICIAL RESULTS OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS CONTACT Mr. Albert Arhin CODEO National Coordinator Phone: +233 (0) 24 474 6791 / (0) 20 822 1068 Secretariat: +233 (0) 244 350 266/ 0277 744 777 Email: [email protected] Website: www.codeoghana.org Thursday, December 10, 2020 Accra, Ghana Introduction On Sunday, December 6, 2020, the Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO), in its press statement, communicated to the nation its intention to once again employ the Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT) methodology to observe the 2020 presidential election, just as it did in 2008, 2012 and 2016. The PVT methodology is a reliable tool available to independent and non-partisan citizens’ election observer groups around the world for verifying the accuracy of official presidential elections results. In keeping with our protocols, which is that CODEO releases its PVT findings after the official results have been announced by the Electoral Commission, CODEO is here to release its PVT estimates for the presidential election. CODEO’s PVT estimates for the presidential results form part of its comprehensive election observation activities for the 2020 elections that covered voter registration exercise, pre-election environment observation for three months (September to November), and election day observation. The PVT Methodology The PVT is an advanced and scientific election observation technique that combines well-established statistical principles and Information Communication Technology (ICT) to observe elections. The PVT involves deploying trained accredited Observers to a nationally representative random sample of polling stations. On Election-Day, PVT Observers observe the entire polling process and transmit reports about the conduct of the polls and the official vote count in real-time to a central election observation database, using the Short Message Service (SMS) platform.

Oppong2, Kofi Bobi-Barimah3, George Frempong4 and William Sabi5 Abstract In 2003 the Government of Ghana established a National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), to make health care more affordable for Ghanaians; it is envisaged that the NHIS will eventually replace the existing cash-and-carry system. Sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Global Development Network (GDN), this study evaluates the NHIS to determine whether it is fulfilling the needs for which it was established. We accomplish this task by focusing on the health status of women to see whether the NHIS has yielded any positive health outcomes regarding maternal and child health in Ghana.

From my first day in Kejetia, the miners received me with kindness, opened their homes to me, and shared with me their personal and difficult lives. I am very grateful and humbled by the way women willingly allowed me entry into their private spaces, the ease with which we have developed lasting friendships, and supported me throughout my fieldwork. I am especially thankful to Monica for sharing her one-bedroom space, introducing me to her friends, and explaining my project to those who were amazed that a fellow Ghanaian woman would spend one year in their community to collect data for research. Kejetia, bopowha wo mpohoya. To the staff of the Upper East Minerals Commission and the Talensi District Assembly, I am grateful for welcoming me into your offices and granting me interviews, in spite of your busy schedule.

Design: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2017 Data Source: Meningitis data in the Upper East Region from January 2007, to December 2016. Main outcome measure: We used spatial tools in Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) and Geoda to draw choropleth map of meningitis incidence, case fatality and hotspot for potential meningitis outbreak Results: A total of 2312 meningitis cases (suspected and confirmed) were recorded from 2016-2017 with median incidence of 15.0cases/100,000 population (min 6.3, max 47.8). Median age of cases was 15 years (IQR: 6-31 years). Most (44.2%) of those affected were 10 years and below. Females (51.2%) constituted the highest propor- tion. Median incidence from 2007-2011 was 20cases/100,000 population (Min 11.3, Max 39.9) whilst from 2012- 2016 was 11.1cases/100,000 populations (Min 6.3, Max 47.8).
