Ghana has a major fault line stretching from the McCarthy Hills area in Accra westwards towards Kasoa-Nyanyanu area in the Central Region and eastwards towards the Akwapim Range all the way to the Volta Region. The epicenter of the fault line is thought to be located around Nyanyanu. Since 1939, when Ghana experienced its severest earthquake which caused a lot of damage with a magnitude of over 6.0 on the Richter scale, there have been reported occurrences of earth tremors in recent times. Kasoa and parts of Accra; Weija, Gbawe, McCarthy Hills, Bortianor, Anyaa and their adjoining areas have experienced a series of Briefing before fieldwork earth tremors which have thrown residents into fear and panic.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 136 008 CE 010 033 AUTHOR Boyle, Neil; And others TITLE Peace Corps/Ghana. Country Program Evaluation. ACTION Evaluation. INSTITUTION ACTION, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE Jun 76 NOTE 90p.; Evaluation developed by Office of Policy and Planning of Action EDES PRICE MF-$0.83 HC-$4.67 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Cost Effectiveness; Cross Cultural Training; *Educational Development; Foreign Countries; *International Programs; International Relations; National Programs; *Program Administration; Program Costs; *Program Effectiveness; Program Evaluation; Secondary Education; Trend Analysis; *Voluntary Agencies; Volunteers; Volunteer Training IDENTIFIERS *Ghana; *Peace Corps; United States ABSTRACT Ghana first received Peace Corps assistance in 1961 (the first country in the world to receive volunteers), and since then volunteer strength has fluctuated from between 185 to 415 (presently 179). Secondary education has been the major thrust in programing until recently when Peace Corps/Ghana (PC/G) shifted its emphases to agriculture and rural development. As part of ACTION's annual evaluation process, PC/G program was evaluated during the spring of 1976. A 'combined method of field and onsite visits was the principal approach used in assessing the relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency of the program. A combination of interview, observation, and data analysis techniques were employed. The basic conclusion of the evaluation team is that while PC/G has made a significant contribution to the education sector of the country, it is now going through a period of transition which is influencing tbe effectiveness of the tools it uses to carry out its policies. Positive influences are seen coming from recent additions to the staff.

  • South Dayi District
    SOUTH DAYI 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 South Dayi 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.

    KOMENDA EDINA EGUAFO ABREM (KEEA) MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY CENTRAL REGION ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR 2016 4th JANUARY, 2016 PREPARED BY: MUNICIPAL PLANNING CO-ORDINATING UNIT (MPCU) INTRODUCTION The Komenda- Edina- Eguafo- Abrem Municipality It is made of four Municipal Traditional Areas or States, which have been put together to constitute a political Municipality. Carved out of the Cape Coast Municipal Council, the KEEA Municipality is one of the forty-six (46) new districts created in 1988 as part of the Decentralization Programmes in Ghana. The Municipality has a fantastic assemblage of culture. Elmina, the Municipal capital, prides itself as the first point of call by the Europeans on their exploration tour of Africa. It had the first contact with the Portuguese in 1471. The oldest Castle in Africa, south of the Sahara, the Elmina Castle, (built by the Portuguese in 1482), is located in the Municipality. The mutual trade relations between the Municipality and its people, (particularly the people of Elmina) and the Dutch span over 300 years. The Municipality still has the traces of those relationships in terms of architecture, monuments (Dutch Cemetery in Elmina) and European offspring as well as names. In all, there is one major festival in the municipality which is the Bakatue (Harvest Festival) festival celebrated on the first Tuesday of July by the Elmina Traditional area. This is a brief profile of the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem Municipal Assembly of which Elmina is the Capital. Elmina is one of Ghana’s most famous historic towns and its strategic location and history makes it the beacon for investment and the heart of splendid tourists destination of par excellence not only in the Central Region of Ghana but in the west African sub region.

  • Ghana: Retail Foods Report
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 5/22/2017 GAIN Report Number: Ghana Post: Accra Retail Foods Report Report Categories: Retail Foods Approved By: Ryan Scott Prepared By: Joshua Taylor Report Highlights: Occupying 28th position on the 2016 edition of the Global Retail Development Index by A.T Kearney, Ghana has finally broken into the top 30 countries with massive potential for thriving retail business in the world. Ghana, a model of stability in West Africa, has over the last six years, had its economy grown by an average of six percent each year, hitting a record-breaking 14 percent in 2011. Growth declined in the following years down to GDP value of 3.9 percent in 2015, the slowest growth rate in 20 years. In 2017, economists expect the country to post strong growth of around seven percent. A middle class is fast emerging, with its attendant wealthy consumers who are increasingly embracing western brands, products and lifestyles. Therein lays business opportunities for exporters of retail foods, namely cereals, meat (including poultry) and meat products, soybean meal, prepared food, skim milk powder and other high-value products from the United States. Executive Summary: Ghana’s Economic Outlook: The International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook database of October 2014 pegged Ghana’s annual growth rate in 2011 at 15 percent. Ghana’s outlook is predicted to be fairly stable. It was envisaged that growth would be slow in 2016 but be bolstered by robust private consumption and fixed investment along with a steady spending on High-Value Products (HVP) in 2017.

  • 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.

  • Ghana: Floods 16 July, 2009
    DREF operation n°. MDRGH001 Glide no. FL-2009-000132-GHA Ghana: Floods 16 July, 2009 The International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 101,314 (USD 93,290 or EUR 66,887) has been allocated from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Ghana Red Cross Society in delivering immediate assistance to 1,000 vulnerable targeted households. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Several hours of rain in the night of Friday 19 June, 2009 and subsequent heavy down pours along the coastal and forest belt of Ghana from 6 to 9 July, 2009 caused massive Flooded areas in Ghana/Red Cross of Ghana destruction of private and public properties in most communities in the western parts of Accra, Eastern, Volta, Central, Western and Ashanti Regions. Heavy rains are falling down all over the country. The floods were caused by choked and narrow gutters and the erection of structures and buildings on watercourses. The disaster coordination body in Ghana (NADMO) indicated that 19,755 people are affected. This operation is expected to be implemented over four months, and will therefore be completed by November 2009; a Final Report will be made available three months after the end of the operation (by February, 2010).
