Although relatively small in area and population, Ghana is one of the leading countries in Africa, because of its considerable natural wealth and partly because it was the first African country south of the Sahara to achieve independence from Colonial rule under the leadership of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in 1957. Ghana’s 2020 population is estimated to be 31,072,940 at mid-year according to United Nations data. Its population is equivalent to 0.4% of the total world population and Ghana ranks #47 in the list of countries (and dependencies) by population. According to the 2016 Ghana Poverty and Inequality Report, Ghana has steadily experienced a growth of over 7% per year on average since 2005. Following the attainment of middle-income country status in 2010 and discovery of offshore oil reserves, per capita growth in the country has remained relatively high. Despite the growth recorded, inequality has been increasing in the country and poverty remains prevalent in many areas. The country is divided into 16 Regions, with the Savannah Region seeing the smallest progress in poverty reduction in the past and present years making it a major issue for Ghana as a country. The Savannah Region now makes up the largest number of poor people of any of the current 16 regions (i.e, 1.3 million) with the East Gonja District (the District located within) recording the highest poverty incidence on the District level with (84.2%) per the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS). Based on an Internet search and data provided by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), HBC Promised Ghana, LBG’s leadership embarked on a three-day tour to the Savannah Region in April 2021, precisely Salaga to know more about the community, make a donation and see how to help in one way or the other. Included herein is a report highlighting the history of Salaga, key findings and a donation presentation made by HBC Promised Ghana, LBG (HBCPG) to the 31st December Women’s Movement Kindergarten and Primary School in the community. It also concludes next steps and plans to mobilize funding and donations to support the school and community.

    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.

  • Creating New Regions in Ghana: Populist Or Rational Pathway to Development?
    Creating New Regions in Ghana: Populist or Rational Pathway to Development? Ransford Edward Van Gyampo Department of Political Science, University of Ghana Email:[email protected] DOI//http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjds.v15i2.1 Abstract The proposal for regional re-organisation and the creation of four additional ones seem feasible and has the needed popular support. Using archival sources and data from the IEA-VOTO Survey, the paper undertakes a thorough and detailed analysis of the processes leading to the creation of additional regions, and reveals imponderable challenges likely to be encountered. It argues that popular support for governmental policy proposals is not necessarily coterminous with feasibility, effectiveness and relevance. The paper therefore examines the feasibility and relevance of the proposal for the creation of additional regions in Ghana and proffers policy recommendations to re-focus the attention of policy makers on the critical challenges and barriers to rural development and how they could be effectively tackled. Keywords: New Regions, Ghana; Campaign Promise, Cost, Development Introduction In the lead up to Ghana’s 2016 General Elections, the flag bearer of theN ew Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo made several promises to Ghanaians. Notable among these promises is the creation of additional regions to ensure effective administration and the devolution of power NPP( Manifesto, 2016). Upon the assumption of power as the elected President of Ghana in January 2017, Nana Akufo-Addo gave indications that four (4) new regions would be created beginning from 2018 to bring the total number of regions in Ghana to fourteen. Per the campaign promise, the process towards the creation of a new region out of the current Western Region to be called the Western North Region is to be initiated.

  • Tor for Engagement of Firms for Data Collection in Northern, Savannah
    MINISTRY OF GENDER, CHILDREN AND SOCIAL PROTECTION GHANA PRODUCTIVE SAFETY NET PROJECT TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) ENGAGEMENT OF FIRMS FOR DATA COLLECTION IN NORTHERN, SAVANNAH AND NORTH-EAST REGIONS FOR GHANA NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD REGISTRY (GNHR) I. Background & Context The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP) as a responsible institution to coordinate the implementation of the country’s social protection system has proposed the establishment of the Ghana National Household Registry (GNHR), as a tool that serves to assist social protection programs to identify, prioritize, and select households living in vulnerable conditions to ensure that different social programs effectively reach their target populations. The GNHR involves the registry of households and collection of basic information on their social- economic status. The data from the registry can then be shared across programs. In this context, the GNHR will have the following specific objectives: a) Facilitate the categorization of potential beneficiaries for social programs in an objective, homogeneous and equitable manner. b) Support the inter-institutional coordination to improve the impact of social spending and the elimination of duplication c) Allow the design and implementation of accurate socioeconomic diagnoses of poor people, to support development of plans, and the design and development of specific programs targeted to vulnerable and/or low-income groups. d) Contribute to institutional strengthening of the MoGCSP, through the implementation of a reliable and central database of vulnerable groups. For the implementation of the Ghana National Household Registry, the MoGCSP has decided to use a household evaluation mechanism based on a Proxy Means Test (PMT) model, on which welfare is determined using indirect indicators that collectively approximate the socioeconomic status of individuals or households.
