Status of Implementation of Municipal Medium Term Development Plan (MMTDP) The Annual Progress Report gave information on the monitoring and evaluation of programmes and projects implementation outlined in the Municipal Medium Term Development Plan MMTDP (2014- 2017) for the year 2015 in the Akuapem North Municipality. Although the GSGDA had seven (7) thematic areas, the Municipality identified and implemented projects and programmes on six (6) thematic areas that pertain to it. These six were: • Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability; • Enhanced Competitiveness of Ghana’s Private Sector; • Accelerated Agricultural Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resources Management; • Infrastructure and Human Settlement; • Human Development, Productivity and Employment; • Transparent and Accountable Governance. The report showed tables of updates on programmes and projects implementation as well as updates on indicators and targets set for the year 2015. 1.2. Purpose of the M&E for the Year The main purpose for the monitoring and evaluation was to track progress and assess the impact of implemented programmes and projects on the targeted beneficiaries. The monitoring and evaluation also provided information on the extent of progress made towards the implementation of the MMTDP. It also helped to assess whether or not the developmental goal, objectives and targets have been met in the MMTDP, identify achievements, constraints and challenges for better improvement in service delivery and resource allocation, build M&E capacity, and also create database to guide monitoring and evaluation process. 1.3. Processes Involved The preparation of the report was coordinated within the framework of the MPCU. MPCU meetings were held with key stakeholders in the Municipality on the progress of work on their respective sectors. The data used for the annual progress report were the MPCU monitoring reports, reports from decentralized departments and sector departments in the Municipality. Based on the data received, a draft report was first prepared and a meeting was held for key stakeholders to review and to validate. Comments made at that meeting were incorporated into the draft report to produce the final report. 1.4. Difficulties Encountered The difficulties encountered in the year were as followed: • Inadequate and untimely release of funds to undertake MPCU monitoring 1 Annual Progress Report-2015, A.N.M.A • Lack of designated vehicle for the MPCU monitoring and evaluation activities. • Lateness in attending MPCU meetings and work sessions. • Failure on the part of some departmental heads to prepare their quarterly and annual reports • Delay by some departmental heads in submitting their quarterly and annual reports. 2 Annual Progress Report-2015, A.N.M.A 2.0 M&E ACTIVITIES REPORT 2.1.

Downloaded On 2021/09/29 21:13:19 -0400 Negotiating Elder Care in Akuapem, Ghana: Care-Scripts and the Role of Non-Kin Cati Coe1 Abstract. In contemporary Ghana, adult children are considered responsible for the care of aged parents. Within this idealized framework, two aspects of elder care are overlooked. First, such a narrative obscures the role of non-kin and extended kin in providing elder care in southern Ghana historically and in the present. Secondly, it hides the negotiations over obligations and commitments between those who manage elder care and those who help with an aging person’s daily activities. It is in this latter role in which non-kin and extended kin are significant in elder care, while closer kin maintain their kin roles through the more distant management, financial support, and recruitment of others. This paper examines recruitment to elder care and the role of kin and non-kin in elder care in three historical periods—the 1860s, the 1990s, and the 2000s— centered on Akuapem, in southern Ghana.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

Page 1 ANNUAL CRIME STATISTICS 2016 CRIME STATISTICS Comparative analysis of Crime Statistics for the year 2015 and 2016 showed remarkable results: Police received a total of 177,241 complaints throughout the country in the year 2016. This represents a decrease of 9,193 cases, which translated into 4.9% over that of the year 2015 which recorded a figure of 186,434. Out of this total, 166,839 representing 94.1% were registered as true cases; the remaining 10,402 cases representing 5.9% were refused. The cases, which were refused, were regarded as trivial, civil in nature or false and so did not warrant Police action. Out of the true cases, 29,778 cases were sent to court for prosecution. At the court, 8,379 cases representing 28.1% gained conviction whilst 812 representing 2.7% were acquitted. At the close of the year 2016, 20,587 cases representing 69.1% of the total number of cases sent to court for prosecutions were awaiting trial. A total of 36,042 cases were closed as undetected whilst 101,019 cases representing 60.5% of the total number of true cases were under investigation at the close of the year 2016.

  • Falling Into Place
    Policy thatworksforforestsandpeople4No: G Falling into place HANA Ghanaian forestry is in the process of rediscovering its past, consolidating what it does best, and G learning from innovative new forest management initiatives. Falling Into Place charts the evolution of policies that affect forests. It describes how the ‘timber-first’ orientation of forestry is giving way to more collaborative policy and forest management for a greater range of forest values, and how tactical Policy that approaches led by key opinion-formers and policy-makers have been successful at overcoming works for forests resistance to change. There are major challenges ahead: combining the economic potential of forest and people resources with maintaining environmental quality and human well-being; and rooting decision-making in places where people are really motivated to take action. Yet, after years of ‘things falling apart’, it seems that Ghanaian forestry is beginning to fall into place. “Through a careful compilation and analysis of data and case studies, Falling Into Place provides a brilliant examination of forest policy and policy processes in Ghana. Its conclusions and recommendations indicate plausible future directions for improved policy. It will be ex- tremely useful for all those interested in understanding and explaining forest policy in particu- lar, and policy in general”. E.O.Nsenkyire, Chief Conservator of Forests, Forestry Department, Ghana Policy that works for forests and people series Forest issues often concern large amounts of money, long timeframes, huge areas of land, and diverse livelihoods. The issues are complex and vary from place to place. However, a pattern of forest problems is common to many countries: continuing loss of natural forests; over-concentrated control and inequitable access to forests; an ill-informed public; and poorly-resourced, inflexible forestry hana Kotey institutions.

Contrary to many prophecies of doom since independence, chieftaincy is still very popular. One of the reasons for this persistence is the remarkable malleability and fluidity of neotraditional systems. Particularly on the local level, a considerable percentage of the pop- ulation is permanently engaged in negotiations and disputes over neotraditional offices and corresponding claims. This leads to a high degree of political participation, but also to conflicts and to the abuse of chieftaincy as an instrument of elite formation.

    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the study. Art, especially the visual art can be said to be the only way of bringing out the philosophies and concepts of given society into physical form. Usually, it is these philosophies and concepts that become the norms and ethics which keep the society together. It can also help to educate people about the mindset of those who made it and the use it was intended for. Similarly, it can be used to teach others in the society to make art forms not just for its aesthetics but also as a way of preserving the culture of the people. Thus it could be realised that knowing the socio-cultural, educational as well as the philosophical importance of a particular work of art helps to tell others about the work, how it was made and what it is intended for. This helps in preserving the culture of a particular society for subsequent generations. It also helps the individuals in the society to have a common cultural identity. The quest by individual societies for a cultural identity is not just to prove to the world that, they are the most important but rather to have a stage of development that would make them fit into the dynamism of the ever growing world. Perhaps it is in line with the ever popular saying that “one needs to know where he is coming from to enable him know his ultimate destination”. This saying can also be linked to the Igbo proverb that “Onye na eweghi ihe arimama di ka onye nwuru anwu”, literally meaning “a person or people with no identity are as well as dead”.
