  • Why Training Is High for Women Yet Only Few of Them Are Applying
    WHY TRAINING IS HIGH FOR WOMEN YET ONLY FEW OF THEM ARE APPLYING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES A USAID’s ADVANCE II Project Report: JUNE 2018 USAID’s ADVANCE PROJECT REPORT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. AID-641-A-14- 00001 AOR USAID: CHIEF OF PARTY: DISCLAIMER This report is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the responsibility of ACDI/VOCA and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. ii Executive Summary Introduction Recognizing the critical role of Knowledge Management and Learning (KM&L) in a knowledge-based economy and the importance of technology application and gender mainstreaming in contemporary development discourse, the Agricultural Development and Value Chain Enhancement Project II (ADVANCE II) commissioned this gender-linked KM&L study relating to women’s training and application of farming technologies in the maize, rice and soy value chain. The Project is in line with the Feed the Future (FtF) initiative, which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This study, which was conducted in the Northern Region of Ghana, was necessitated by the outcome of analysis of data from ADVANCE II or ACDI/VOCA office on the issue at stake. The main issue was that, in spite of the fact that both men and women farmers were trained on good agronomic practices with respect to application of farming technologies, the men were found to be adopting the technologies more than the women, which was contrary to the gender mainstreaming agenda of the Project and, therefore, needed to be remedied through evidence-based study results.

    MION DISTRICT i 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 Mion 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.
