Ningo-Prampram Municipality
NINGO-PRAMPRAM MUNICIPALITY 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 Ningo-Prampram Municipality 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. -

Dissertation Advisor: Robert H. Bates Author: Noah Louis Nathan Electoral Politics amid Africa’s Urban Transition: A Study of Urban Ghana Abstract Africa is rapidly urbanizing. With so many African voters now living in cities, understanding African electoral politics now requires understanding the politics of urban areas. How does urbanization affect the accountability relationships between voters and politicians? Answering this question means answering a series of more specific empirical questions: what do urban voters want from the government? Which types of urban voters participate in politics and which do not? How do urban voters choose which candidates to support? How do politicians campaign in cities? Which types of urban voters do politicians seek to favor with state resources? Electoral politics in African cities received significant attention in the independence era, but little polit- ical science research has examined these cities in the contemporary democratic period. -

Of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE (LGS)
Draft 2019 Annual Progress Report of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE (LGS) FOREWARD This report presents the achievements of the Local Govdernment Service (LGS) which comprises of the Office of the Head of the Local Government Service (OHLGS), the sixteen Regional Co- ordinating Councils (RCCs) and the two hundred and sixty Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). The feats reported herein were in line with the Government of Ghana’s National Decentralization Policy Framework and implementation of other government flagship programmes in line with national reporting requirements. Paramount among the OHLGS achievements were the various tailor-made trainings and capacity development programmes undertaken for a total of one thousand and sixty (1,060) staff and this undercores the commitment and investment made by government to develop human capacity in support of local governance and administration for improved service delivery. The successes and levels of implementation of government programmes and projects including the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), Infrastructure for Porverty Eradication Project (IPEP) and many others as reported by the RCCs and on behalf of Assemblies within their repective jurisdictions provides an insight on achievements over the planned period. The contributions of our many development partners and stakeholdrs made it possible to achieve these feats and the Local Government Service is appreciative of this support. It is the expectation that with continued support, the Service will continue to enhance delivery of its mandate of ensuring the effective administration and management of the decentralized sector of the country in line with the national decentralization programme.
