The main drive of the policy document was anchored on the continued pursuit of macroeconomic stability and the sustainable exploitation of Ghana’s natural resource endowments in agriculture, minerals and oil and gas, supported by strategic investments in human capital, infrastructure, human settlements, science, technology and innovation to drive industrialization, in particular in manufacturing. Overall, the GSGDA was targeted at accelerating employment creation and income generation for poverty reduction and shared growth. The GSGDA I has seven thematic areas among which include the following: Ensuring and Sustaining Microeconomic Stability Enhancing Competitiveness of Ghana’s Private Sector Accelerated Agricultural Modernisation and Sustainable natural Resource Management Oil and Gas development Infrastructure and Human Settlements Human Development ,Productivity and Employment Transparent and Accountable Governance Programmes and projects under the various thematic areas were achieved through sound management funding resources from the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF), District Development Facility (DDF), Internally Generated Fund (IGF), Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP) and other donor inflows.

    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.

INTRODUCTION The Decentralization process in Ghana makes the Districts the pivot of development activities in the country. With the coming into force of 1992 fourth Republican Constitution of Ghana, the New Local Government System Act 1993, (Act 462), the National Development Planning Commission Act 1994, (Act 479) and the Development Planning Systems Act 1994, (Act 480) District Assemblies in Ghana have been mandated to function as planning authorities with the task to ensuring the overall development of the areas under their jurisdiction through the formulation and execution of development plan and programmes and designing strategies for the mobilization and prudent utilization of revenue. Thus, the district has become the pivot of development activities from the bottom.
