    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.

    Ghana Journal of Development Studies, Volume 7, Number 2 2010 FISHERIES IN SMALL RESERVOIRS IN NORTHERN GHANA: Incidental Benefit or Important Livelihood Strategy Jennifer Hauck Department for Environmental Politics Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) Leipzig, Germany Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fisheries in small reservoirs in the Upper East Region are perceived to be an incidental benefit and the potential of this livelihood strategy is neglected. However, in some communities fishing in small reservoirs is part of their livelihood strategies. Several participatory appraisal tools provided entry points for investigations, and supported quantitative surveys, which investigated the number of fishermen and fishmongers, prices of fish, demand for fish and the income derived from fishing and selling fish. For most of those involved in fisheries, the income from these activities is not incidental, but among the three most important livelihood strategies and the income from fishing is lifting about 15% of the economically active male population in the study communities out of absolute poverty. The number of fishmongers and their income are much lower, yet many women rank the income from fishmongering high, and their growing number shows the attractiveness of the activity. Based on these findings this paper recommends to expand government as well as donor efforts to train members of those communities which are currently not able to access fisheries resources to support their livelihoods because of the lack of know-how and fishing gear. KEY DESCRIPTORS: Fisheries, Upper East Region, poverty, malnutrition, income INTRODUCTION In the Upper East Region of Ghana hundreds of small multi-purpose reservoirs were built during the past 60 years (Baijot, Moreau & Bouda, 1997; Braimah, 1990).

  • The Role of Micro-Credit in Economic Empowerment of Disabled Persons in the Upper East Region, Ghana
    UNIVERSITY FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES THE ROLE OF MICRO-CREDIT IN ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF DISABLED PERSONS IN THE UPPER EAST REGION, GHANA BY , _ JOHN A WUMBILA (B.A IDS) UDS/MDS/0054/07 THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AFRICAN AND GENERAL STUDIES, FACULTY OF INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT STUDIES, UNIVERSITY FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES, TAMALE, IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE IN DEVELOPMENT STUDIES NOVEMBER, 2011 ~ . ABSTRACT Micro-credit has been acknowledged as a resourceful means of enhancing people economic activities and eliminating poverty among the poor. In Ghana, many organisations including those for disabled persons have adopted micro-credit as a strategy for enhancing empowerment. This study sought to explore, highlight and provide scientific information on the role of micro-credit in the economic empowerment of disabled persons using the Anglican and Community-Based Rehabilitation micro-credit programmes in the Bongo and Builsa Districts. A mixed-method approach was employed examining 140 disabled beneficiaries and 40 disabled non beneficiaries of the CBR micro-credit. The study used the borrowers (disabled micro-credit beneficiaries) recall of the “before-after” situation and also gauged the effects through disabled non-micro-credit beneficiaries’ perception on the effects of micro-credit on beneficiaries. This study found that micro-credit increased 84% of disabled entrepreneurs’ profit margins and income levels by 85% per annum. The study further ascertained that through micro credit 68.4% of disabled persons now have ‘bigger’ say in the use and management of their resources and 21.4% have gained better recognition and change in decision making position.

Box 88, 6700 AB Wageningen P.O. Box UP 1106 The Netherlands IRNR KNUST-KUMASI, Ghana ABSTRACT This study examined the conservation, utilisation and potential for commercialisation of some indigenous leafy vegetables (ILVs) in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The study was implemented through a joint field study programme by the International Centre for development oriented Research in Agriculture (ICRA) in the Netherlands and the Centre for Biodiversity Utilisation and Development (CBUD) in Kumasi, Ghana. The study was carried out in four districts in the Upper East Region namely Bolgatanga, Bongo, Bawku West and Kassena-Nankana. The study employed the ARD approach, which is demand driven and integrates the diverse perspectives of all stakeholders and beneficiaries. Participatory methods were employed to collect relevant qualitative and quantitative information. Indigenous leafy vegetables are cultivated under both rainfed and irrigated conditions in the study area. Bito (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Berese (Hibiscus cannabinus), Bento (Vigna unguiculata), Alefu (Amaranthus cruentus), Okro (Abelmuscus esculentus), Spider plant (Cleome gynandra), Luffa sp., and Sambola are the popular cultivated ILVs.

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).

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.

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 Nabdam 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.
