Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Public Disclosure Authorized Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Component 1 : Enabling environment 9.37 Comnponent 2 : Support to ITES and ICT SMEs 17.60 Component 3 : E-Government 31.00 Component 4: GIFMIS 28.44 Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Public Disclosure Authorized Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Low Low Implementation Status Overview This ISR reflects the discussions of parallel missions of both the eGhana core Project and GIFMIS (Ghana Integrated Financial Management Information System) component carried Public Disclosure Copy out between October 28 and November 8, 2013. The GIFMIS component was conducted together with DiFD and the Delegation of the European Union. The task teams reviewed implementation progress to date against targets under the Project Appraisal Document and Additional Financing Project Paper; assessed project management, institutional, fiduciary and Monitoring and Evaluation arrangements; and discussed innovative ways to begin communicating project results. Page 1 of 12 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR13279 Implementation progress and the likelihood of achieving the developmental objectives of the eGhana Project are very Satisfactory. Disbursement rate continues to improve and stands at approximately 90% for the core eGhana project and 75% for the additional financing component. Almost all the key performance indicators under the core eGhana project (jobs created in the ITES sector, revenues as % of GDP, number of PPPs etc) have been met. The automation of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Registrar's General's Department (RGD) has been accepted by Government and related disbursement under the project has been made. Key activities which have been completed as part of the GRA automation include the following: 10 GRA pilot sites have been prepared, and equipped with high-speed connectivity and computing equipment. The system will eventually be deployed at 67 branch offices of GRA, including at GRA Head Quarters, Legon, Agbogbloshie, Achimota, Adabraka, Spintex, Kaneshie, Makola, GRA Tema, GRA DTRD, and Vat House; training has been provided to staff on usage and literacy of information technology; TRIPS tax administration software, involving 12 modules, has been deployed at two data centers; tax payer registration module has been deployed and is in use in 10 GRA sites; core tax modules have been piloted at the large tax payer office; and GRA portal has been deployed and is being tested by GRA and the system auditor. Since December 2011, 200,000 or more taxpayers have registered on the TRIPs system. About 50 filing transactions have been successfully completed. Operational Acceptance (OA) has been agreed between the public and private partners and was finalized in December 2013 following independent and government’s own audit. The Ghana electronic registration for the Registrar General’s Department (GeReg application) is operational at the RGD head office and preparations are underway to roll-out the application at the three regional sites for RGD. The GeReg provides for the electronic registration of businesses, civil marriages, and Public Disclosure Copy properties and estates in Ghana. There has also been significant progress in the support to the IT and IT Enabled services industry, with the completion of training for the first batch of master trainers and agents for the ITES (37 out of 50 master trainers; and 532 out of 2000 agents), the launch of the University connectivity program, the signing of the Business incubation contract and the completion of several investment promotion activities which has increased the visibility of Ghana as destination for IT and IT enabled services business. The recent approval by the Rockefeller Foundation of a grant in the amount of US$3.8 million to complement the World Bank funding for the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) center is a significant achievement for the project and will contribute significantly to addressing the shortage of Grade A facilities for BPO activities in Ghana. Implementation progress and the likelihood of achieving the developmental objectives of the GIFMIS component is also rated Satisfactory. GIFMIS is now in place so that it can realistically be expected to make progress towards its objectives. Key progress includes: roll-out of Procure to Pay (P2P) for the Consolidated Fund (Treasury Accounts) across all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MMDAs), with on-site processing across 25 additional spending units; implementation of payroll upgrade and integration progressing according to schedule; achieved readiness for implementation of phase 1 of HRMIS within schedule; achieved readiness to begin implementation of a new budget module ‘Hyperion’ that will be used for budget preparation during 2014 for the 2015 budget and beyond; and operationalization of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) system (with SWIFT) in 16 largest MDAs constitituting over 80% of consolidated fund (Treasury) expenditures. In this regard, the interface with Bank of Ghana (BoG) through EFT is considered a significant milestone towards ensuring strengthened controls. In addition, GIFMIS has been rolled-out at 7 MMDAs for transacting GoG funds. The recent signing of a Loan and Fiscal Agency Agreement (LFAA) between the BoG and MoF marks a critical turning point in establishing the foundation of a Treasury Single Account (TSA) and an effective cash management system based on this and other elements of GIFMIS. Progress also continues in establishing clear plans for implementing Program-Based Budgeting (PBB) and a common platform for budget preparation and execution, though these outcomes will be fully achieved only over the longer run.

    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.

    Spatial Mapping of Solar Potential of Ghana Using Geographic Information Systems

    Spatial Mapping of Solar Potential of Ghana Using Geographic Information Systems Sebastian BOTSYO and John AYER, Ghana Key words: Land Surface Temperature, Google Earth Engine, Global Horizontal Irradiance, Surface Albedo, solar potential, Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS. SUMMARY Ghana is endowed with significant amounts of renewable energy resources, that when fully exploited, can contribute to mitigating the power crisis facing the country as well as reducing the rates of forest depletion and CO2 emissions. Even though solar energy potential in Ghana is estimated at 35 EJ, its exploitation is low. (Mensah et al., 2017) For the utilization of a solar energy potential and system, knowledge about the solar irradiation potential in every location is required. In addition, a solar energy map is practicable for further evaluation of the renewable energy option and strategic planning, such as for site location (Joshi, 2013). This research therefore, aimed at developing solar energy potential map for the exploitation of solar energy to support other power sources to meet the growing demand of electricity in Ghana. The solar potential map was developed using Google Earth Engine (GEE). The Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS satellite data was used to generate the Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) over the various regions. The Dark Object Subtraction method was used in computing the solar radiation from Landsat 8 and had a minimum and maximum of about 1.5 kWh/m2 and 7 kWh/m2 respectively from 2014 to 2018. A Time series analysis was performed on the solar radiation monthly data for each year from 2014 to 2018. This was to find out the trend of increase and decrease in solar radiation over the months in the various years.

    Assessing Donkey Production and Management in Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District in the Northern Region of Ghana

    Journal of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science Volume 3, Issue 2, 2019, PP 1-5 ISSN 2637-5354 Assessing Donkey Production and Management in Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District in the Northern Region of Ghana *Tuaruka, L. and Agbolosu, A. A. Department of Animal Science, University for Development Studies, Ghana *Corresponding Author: Tuaruka, L. Department of Animal Science, University for Development Studies, Ghana ABSTRACT A study was carried out to ascertain the production and management of donkeys in some communities in the Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo district. Ten communities were purposively sampled and the donkey owners were sampled using snowball sampling. A total of 100 donkey owners were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires on biographical information of farmers, flock structure and management systems, feeding and watering, reproduction and breeding and diseases, mortality and management. Linear body measurements such as Heart girth circumference (HG), Height at withers (HW), Body length (BL), Neck length (NL) and Head length (HL) were taken on 144 donkeys. Donkey keeping is an important activity to farmers in the district. They provide cheap means of transport to farmers who cannot afford mechanical power. Their use for supplying water to household was ranked (1.31) as the most important role whereas carting of goods to market and farm implements to and from farms was the second most important role. The least role was for income generation. Donkeys roam and graze freely during the dry season but are tethered during the rainy season to graze. The animals mate randomly at pastures. Sores on the skin, worm infestation and foot diseases were some of the diseases conditions identified.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in 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.
