In contemporary Ghana, adult children are considered responsible for the care of aged parents. Within this idealized framework, two aspects of elder care are overlooked. First, such a narrative obscures the role of non-kin and extended kin in providing elder care in southern Ghana historically and in the present. Secondly, it hides the negotiations over obligations and commitments between those who manage elder care and those who help with an aging person’s daily activities. It is in this latter role in which non-kin and extended kin are significant in elder care, while closer kin maintain their kin roles through the more distant management, financial support, and recruitment of others. This paper examines recruitment to elder care and the role of kin and non-kin in elder care in three historical periods—the 1860s, the 1990s, and the 2000s— centered on Akuapem, in southern Ghana. -

Political Party Organisation and Women's Empowerment
Final report Political party organisation and women’s empowerment A field experiment in Ghana Nahomi Ichino Noah L. Nathan December 2017 When citing this paper, please use the title and the following reference number: S-33403-GHA-1 Political Party Organization and Women's Empowerment: A Field Experiment in Ghana∗ Nahomi Ichinoyand Noah L. Nathanz December 31, 2017 Gender gaps in participation and representation are common in new democracies, both at the elite level and at the grassroots. We investigate efforts to close the grassroots gender gap in rural Ghana, a patronage-based democracy in which a dense network of political party branches provides the main avenue for local participation. We report results from a randomized field experiment to address norms against women's participation and encourage women's participa- tion ahead of Ghana's December 2016 elections. The treatment is a large community meeting presided over by the traditional chief, known locally as a durbar. We find null results. The treat- ment was hampered in part by its incomplete implementation, including by local political party leaders who may have feared an electorally-risky association with a controversial social message. The study emphasizes the importance of social norms in explaining gender gaps in grassroots politics in new democracies and contributes new evidence on the limitations of common civic education interventions used in the developing world. ∗Special tanks to Johnson Opoku, Samuel Asare Akuamoah, and the staff of the National Commission of Civic Education (NCCE) for their partnership, as well as to Santiago S´anchez Guiu, Helen Habib and IPA-Ghana. -
Multiplicity of Voices in Community Development Through Radio in Fanteakwa District, Ghana
Multiplicity of Voices in Community Development through Radio in Fanteakwa District, Ghana Manfred K. Asuman Geopat Consultancy Ghana Africanus L. Diedong (Corresponding Author) Department of African and General Studies, University for Development Studies, Wa Campus, Ghana [email protected] DOI//http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjds.v16i2.9 ABSTRACT The study examines community radio as a channel for development through people’s participation in development activities in the Fanteakwa District of Ghana. The study argues that participation of people is necessary for development. The study employed the concept of participatory development communication and the empowerment theory to help understand the role of community radio in development. Mixed method research design was used for the study. Data was collected through survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling and multi-stage sampling techniques were used to select respondents. It was found that participation is highest amongst people whose preferred channel of contribution to development initiatives is Radio Listenership Clubs. Though community radio station is serving the community, more needs to be done to properly integrate it into the lives of the people. Another finding was that community radio is not necessarily owned by the community, but can be the result of an individual’s entrepreneurial effort.I t is concluded that the integration of participatory approaches in radio programming and ownership is relevant because they are more people-centred and can be sustainable. A legislation on community broadcasting is recommended in order to define the role of individual entrepreneurs andNGO ’s in establishing community radio stations.

The Composite Budget of the Akwapim South District Assembly for the 2016
REPUBLIC OF GHANA THE COMPOSITE BUDGET OF THE AKWAPIM SOUTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY FOR THE 2016 FISCAL YEAR 1 1.0 Background The Akwapim South District was carved out of the then Akwapim South Municipality, now Nsawam Adoagiri Municipality in June, 2012 by a Legislative Instrument 2040. It has Aburi as its administrative District Capital which is the second highest habitable town in Ghana. The District is the first district along the Akuapem Ridge of the Eastern part of Ghana 1.1 Population Size and Distribution The 2010 Population and Housing Census put the total population of the district at 37,501 which accounts for about 1.4 percent of the population in the Eastern region. Out of this figure, 48.5 percent are males with 51.5 percent being females. The district has a population growth rate of 3.8 and death rate of 9.5 per 1000 people per annum According to the 2010 Population and Housing Census, the District has about three-quarters (73.4%) of its population residing at rural areas as against 26.6% in the urban set up. This implies, the district is rural in nature and therefore faces myriad of challenges of inadequate social infrastructure and amenities as any rural area in Ghana. 1.2 District Economy 1.2.1 Agriculture The main economic activity in the District is Agriculture. The Climate conditions favour production of variety of crops such as Maize, Cassava, Yam and Vegetables including Tomato, Pepper, Garden Eggs, Okro and Cabbage. Tree crops such as Cocoa, Citrus and Oil Palm are also grown in the District. -
