Agriculture Agriculture is the major occupational activity in the district. Some of the agricultural activities undertaken include crop farming, livestock rearing and tree crop growing. The district can also boast of its contribution in the cocoa industry. The district is noted for its dominance in the cultivation of oil palm. There is a local palm oil production company known as Twifo Oil Palm Plantation (TOPP) which is a major supplier of local palm oil to major companies in Ghana like Nestle Ghana limited and others who uses their final product in their manufacturing. These Agricultural products are marketed mainly at a big market located at Twifo Praso, the district capital. The market attracts people from neighbouring towns and villages in Twifo Praso on Tuesdays and Fridays which are the markets days to purchase these agricultural products. The Assembly in 2014 relocated the market to a more spacious location with modern facilities to make trading and life easier for traders and patronage. b. Roads The road network in the district is not the best. Most of the roads in the District are feeder roads linking other sister Districts. Apart from the main road that leads the district to the regional capital (Cape coast-Praso), only three (3) kilometres (Praso- Bimpongya) road is tarred in addition to the town roads. There is however a sign of good hope as there is now a contractor on the Praso to Assin Fosu road to construct a ten (10) kilometre stretch of the road to Nuamakrom. The feeder roads continue to enjoy reshaping when they become un-motor able. TWIFO /ATTI-MORKWA DISTRICT ASSEMBLY’S COMPOSITE BUDGET FOR 2016- 2018 Page 7 b. Ed ucat ion Twifo/Atti-Morkwa District has a total of 320 schools, out of which 233 are public basic schools, 86 private basic schools and one (1) Senior high school (SHS).For effective and efficient school management, the education sector is divided into ten (10) circuits. The teacher to pupil ratio varies at the various levels. The ratios are; KG 1:42, Primary 1:29, JHS 1:15 and SHS 1:24 d. Health The District Health has fourteen (14) Health facilities. Three (3) are privately owned health facilities. The public health facilities include one (1) Government Hospital, one (1) Health Centre, one (1) Clinic, ten (10) CHPS Compounds, and one (1) Maternity Home. The Nurse to patient ratio is 1: 579 and Doctor to patient ratio is 1:18813. The District also has One Hundred (100) Traditional Birth Attendance (TBAs). e. Environment The District is located in a densely forested area. The extensive forest has given rise to a large-scale timber extraction and illegal chainsaw operations in district. Apart from lumbering, the other major economic activities that have effect on the environment include crop/livestock farming and small-scale mining. The extraction of timber has immensely depleted some economic trees, deteriorated some roads and caused some sort of destruction to cash and food crops. Small-scale mining activities have equally caused extensive destruction to the vegetation and degraded large tracts of land. f. Tourism There are few tourist sites located in the District. The potential tourist sites are: Site Location The site of Otumfuo Osei Tutu’s Waterloo Important historic site for both the Ashanti’s and Twifo. Otumfuo Osei Tutu I was killed here when crossing the river. The site is a natural bridge Twifo Toffoe across River Pra which is used during the dry season. It is also an attractive site for visitors and tourists. Bonsaben Forest Reserve Scientific natural beauty of an evergreen forest with some particularly tall trees. Great biodiversity of both plants & animals. This is also the Twifo Ayaase Watershed of some rivers. Snake-Like Oil Palm Tree Snake-like oil palm tree located between Bimpong Forest reserves and a large cocoa farm. The coiled and meandering shape of the oil palm tree Canaan affords visitors the opportunity to know the extent to which nature can deviate.

  • The Coastal Environment of Elmina in Ghana - Appraising the Causes and Effects of Coastal Pollution
    Annals of Geographical Studies Volume 1, Issue 1, 2018, PP 100-110 The Coastal Environment of Elmina in Ghana - Appraising the Causes and Effects of Coastal Pollution James Lawer Dika, John Manyimadin Kusimi and Kwabena Awere Gyekye Dept. of Geography & Resource Development, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra – Ghana. *Corresponding Author: John Manyimadin Kusimi, Dept. of Geography & Resource Development,University of Ghana, Legon, Accra – Ghana. Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT Coastal pollution is a serious threat to coastal ecosystem and dwellers whose livelihoods depend on coastal resources. Elmina is one of the major tourist destinations of Ghana owing to its attractive sandy beaches and many historical monuments. However, the coastal zone has been engulfed by marine debris, polluting the coastal environment thus decreasing its aesthetic attractiveness for tourism. The research investigated the causes, environmental and socio-economic impacts of the coastal pollution on the life of the people of Elmina and ecosystem. Social survey methods involving questionnaire administration, in-depth-interviews and focus group discussions were employed to collect field data. Systematic sampling process was used to select households for the questionnaire survey. Improper waste disposal, inadequate sanitary facilities coupled with weak enforcement of sanitation bye-laws among others accounted for the pollution and the unsanitary condition of beaches and consequently the spreading of diseases like diarrhea and typhoid. Revenue from beach tourism and income of fisher folks were also negatively affected by the polluted marine environment. The provision of adequate sanitary facilities, organization of regular clean-up exercises, education on sanitation and vigorous enforcement of coastal bye-laws are some of the proposed measures in curbing this menace within this tourist enclave of Ghana.
