Kwahu West Municipal Assembly Medium Term Development Plan i KWAHU WEST MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2014-2017 JUNE 2014 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As a way of fulfilling the constitutional mandate, all Metropolitan, Municipals and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana are required to prepare periodic Medium-Term Development Plans for the development of their areas. Therefore, this Medium Development Plan (MTDP) for the 2014-2017 Plan Period represents the development imperative of the Kwahu West Municipal for the next four years. The MTDP was prepared in accordance with the National Medium Term Development Planning Framework (NMTDPF) provided by the National Development Planning Commission. The MTDP preparation process involved wide consultation with all stakeholders, departments, organisations and institutions. In addition, field surveys were also made targeting at capturing the views, opinions, challenges and aspirations of households, business operators, the vulnerable and the excluded. These efforts were useful in obtaining the real development challenges, needs and aspirations of the people, some that include low productivity in the agricultural sector, high levels of poverty, poor road infrastructure, inadequate supply of potable water, poor access to sanitation, low IGF and so on. As a planning response to the development challenges identified from the field, about 53 programmes are initiated in these MTDP aimed at achieving the Municipal’s development goal of promoting accelerated economic growth and development. The estimated cost of the programmes is about GHȻ6,778,110. About 21 percent of this figure will be financed from Internally Generated Funds and the rest will come from District Assembly Common Fund, Government of Ghana among others. In the wake of government fiscal difficulties, the Assembly is also looking for more innovative ways of funding its development programmes on a sustainable basis. In order to bring all stakeholders on board to buy and own the MTDP, a communication strategy has been developed which will facilitate the participation of all segment of the society in the plan implementation, monitoring and evaluation process. Many a time, development projects aimed at promoting development would rather inadvertently constraint future development or leave some people or communities worse off. To address this anomaly, the plans, programmes and projects have been subjected to strategic environmental assessment to ensure that sustainable development is achieved. It is anticipated, the proposed interventions contribute in solving the socio-economic problems and challenges in the Municipality. i ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ii iii TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENT PAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY............................................................................................................i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT..............................................................................................................ii TABLE OF CONTENTS...............................................................................................................iii LIST OF TABLES ……………………………………………………………………………..viii LIST OF FIGURES ………………………………………………………………...…………..xii LIST OF ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS …………………………………..…..…...xiii CHAPTER ONE: GENERAL INTRODUCTION…………………………………….………...1 1.1 Background…………………………………………………………………………………1 1.2 Objectives of the Assignment………………………………………………………………1 1.3 Methodology………………………………………………………………………………..2 1.3.1 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………….2 1.3.2 Review of Kwahu West Municipal Assembly Medium Term Development Plan (2010-013)…………………………………………………………………………………...2 1.3.3 Reconnaissance Survey………………………………………………………………..2 1.3.4 Preparation of Survey Instruments…………………………………………………….3 1.3.5 Primary Data Collection……………………………………………………………….3 1.3.6 Secondary Data Collection…………………………………………………………….3 1.3.7 Sampling Method……………………………………………………………………...4 1.3.8 Data Analysis………………………………………………………………………….4 1.4 Scope of the Assignment…………………………………………………………………..4 1.5 Organization of the Report………………………………………………………………...5 CHAPTER TWO:PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS………...6 iii iv 2.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………6 2.2.

  • 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.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

Professor Abeeku Essuman-Johnson (Principal Supervisor) ………………………………… Date……………………… Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante (Co-Supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT Railways are significant for the realization of innovation, creativity, and development. Railways contribute to social enthusiasm in addition to market competitiveness by conveying millions of consumers as well as personnel to urban places and villages around the world. All over the world countries are recognizing the important role that railways contribute to their economy. In the 1950s, Ghana’s railway transport was considered to be one of the best on the continent of Africa. The railway was a major transport connecting to the major cities of the country. Railway transport was very efficient, reliable, affordable and safe. The most important aspect of it was how it refurbished the local economy of traders and the conveyance of agricultural products from the production source to the market centers. This scholarly, therefore, examined the politics of railway transportation and development in Ghana.
