GenCED commissioned local Consultants to conduct a baseline survey to investigate the issues of women inclusiveness in development planning and budgetary process and the logic for gender inclusiveness in local government activities. To all the Interviewees and participants of the validation workshop, we extend our gratitude. GenCED would like to thank the authors Mr. Gilbert Sam & Mr. Richard Adupong for their invaluable technical support for the completion of the study. For all persons and Institutions who contributed in diverse ways in the preparation of this Baseline study document but whose names have not been mentioned, we extend our sincere gratitude. Finally, this document remains the property of GenCED and we are solely responsible for its contents. ………………………………………………… Esther Tawiah EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 Introduction The local Government Act, Act 462 provides opportunities for citizens to be involved in the decision-making process at the local level. Indeed the Act requires inclusiveness in the local governance irrespective of the gender, belief system, social statuses, geographical location, physical disabilities in the development planning and budgeting process at all levels to ensure the attainment of the development goals of the District Assembly. It is in this light that Gender Centre for Empowering Development (GenCED) with support from United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF) commissioned local Consultants to conduct a baseline survey to primarily investigate the level of women inclusiveness in decision making process at the district level as well as establish the logic for gender inclusiveness in the development planning and budgetary processes. Essentially, this baseline study was conducted in response to the need for greater women involvement in development planning in order to sustain gender mainstreaming in the planning and decision making processes at the local level and also establish district specific baseline values for each of the outcome indicators to facilitate an assessment of project achievements upon project completion. 2.0 Objectives The objectives of the baseline study are to: explore and establish the socio- cultural, economic and political context of women inclusiveness in local governance and community development; investigate the level of women inclusiveness in decision making process at the district level; establish the logic for gender inclusiveness in thedevelopment planning and budgetary processes; and Update district specific baseline values for each of the project outcome indicators to facilitate an assessment of project achievements upon project completion. 3.0 Methodology The Consultants carried out field visits between 19thand 21st November 2014 in Juaboso, Bia West Districts and Sefwi Wiawso Municipal to collect information relative to women participation in decision making at the district level. Stakeholders interviewed included: iv women groups, PWDs, local NGOs, community members and district assembly officials in

  • Cocoa and Climate Change: Insights from Smallholder Cocoa Producers in Ghana Regarding Challenges in Implementing Climate Change Mitigation Strategies

It addresses opinions on the inclusion of climate change mitigation strategies (such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation—REDD+) into cocoa production, and potential obstacles and roles of stakeholders in ensuring community acceptance of such strategies in a unique multiple land use area—the Krokosua Hills Forest Reserve. Data from the Ghana Meteorological Agency and through survey of 205 cocoa farmers were assessed with Mann-Kendall, Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Farmers’ perceptions of changes in climate were notably diverse and did not always match historic weather data, but accurately described increases in temperature and drought which are linked to cocoa productivity. Farmers appreciate the importance of tree maintenance for ecosystem services but were skeptical of financially rewarding climate change strategies which favor tree protection.

  • An Evaluation of Challenges Facing Smallholders in Ghana: a Case Study for the Aowin Suaman District
    Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.6, No.3, 2016 An Evaluation of Challenges Facing Smallholders in Ghana: A Case Study for the Aowin Suaman District Emmanuel Asafo-Adjei 1* Emmanuel Buabeng 2 1. Research Department, National Disaster Management Organisation, P.O.BoxCT3994, Accra-Ghana 2. Departments of Economics, College of Arts and Social Sciences, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana Abstract The majority of the Ghanaians populations live in rural areas where their livelihoods depend on smallholding agriculture. Smallholding farmers produce about 28.3% of GDP and 10% of all exports by value. It is estimated that 85% of cereals, 40% of rice and 100% of starch staple food, including significant exports and raw materials for local industries are produced by this type of farming system. Despite these contributions to food security, the sector is plagued with several challenges which militate against their success. Though, many researchers have discussed these challenges but failed to account for the magnitude and severity of these challenges with quantitative evidence as well as the sequential order of the problems. In an attempt to fill this gap, factor analysis methodology is used to evaluate the weight of each challenge confronting farmers in Ghana. With a semi- structured questionnaire, random sampling technique was used to select 381 farmers and interviewed. The findings revealed that five components containing 28 variables determine about 80% percent variations in the production of smallholders. These factors were named as managerial challenges (26.286% of variance), technological challenges (24.045% of variance), marketing challenges (15.685% of variance), extension services challenges (6.933 % of variance) and health related challenges (6.839% of variance).

  • Adapting to Changing Conditions Touton CFI Progress Report
    Photo courtesy ofFarmGrow Adapting to Changing Conditions Touton CFI Progress Report - Ghana April 2020 Foreword Touton was among the 12 first signatories of The Cocoa and Forests Initiative declaration that was prepared jointly by the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) and IDH under the auspices of Prince Charles’ International Sustainable Unit development activities. We were particularly heartened by this development as it is aligned with Touton’s strategy in respect to Landscape Governance. This is an area where we have been active for several years, especially in Ghana. We have been working with Forest and Cocoa authorities as well as with implementing partners to develop a holistic approach which goes beyond the impact of climate change at cocoa-farm level. A year ago, Touton published its initial action plans in line with its Cocoa and Forests Initiative commitments. Since then, both the public and private sector actors in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire have taken important steps towards meeting some of the essential targets outlined in the CFI partnership framework agreement. Contents Going forward, one important element that needs to be addressed to unlock some of Foreword 2 the challenges that we still all face is the strengthening of nation-wide traceability systems. Key figures 3 This proves essential to address deforestation but also other crucial elements of a more virtuous supply-chain, i.e. human-rights related considerations and even food safety What is the Cocoa & Forests Initiative? 4 and health issues. In the light of recent events, the conviction that strong partnerships and collaboration between all parties can effect real change is reinforced.

  • Sefwi Bibiani-Anhwiaso- Bekwai District
    SEFWI BIBIANI-ANHWIASO- BEKWAI DISTRICT Copyright (c) 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 Sefwi Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai 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.
