EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Among the functions and responsibilities of District Assemblies since the enactment of the Local Government Act 1993, Act 462 is the preparation of Medium Term Development Plan to guide the development of the District which will be used as a basis for the subsequent preparation of the Regional and National Plans. The preparation of this Medium Term Development Plan is a fulfilment of requirement under Ghana’s decentralization program which empower District Assemblies as planning authorities. The district is therefore supposed to among other things, formulate and implement plans, programs and strategies for effective mobilization of material and human resources for local development. The DA’s are required to prepare development plans in relation to guidelines provided by the NDPC, and this is to facilitate the translation of the Medium Term Development Policy Framework into programs, projects and activities to be implemented for the benefit of the people. The Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy II shows and represent comprehensive policies to support growth and poverty reduction in the country. Since the level of poverty defers from district to district, there was the need for each district to prepare its own program that suites and responds to the needs of the people and the framework/targets set in the GPRS II. The National Development Planning Commission in collaboration with the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) organized series of workshops for key staffs of the District Assemblies to build their capacities to enable them prepare their Development Plans that will respond to the needs of the poor and vulnerable. Adequate forum was also created for sensitization to involve the people and solicit for their input into the MTDP preparation. The result of these interactions in this document is to guide the development of the District. The process of DMTDP preparation is driven by public participation and public hearing in line with section 3, sub section 1,2 and 3 of the National Development Planning (system) Act, 1994 Act 480. The key staff that attended the workshop formed a taskforce that facilitated the preparation of the document. The preparation of the document has been participatory. The formulation of the document is based on consultation with a broad segment of society including Community Based Organizations, Non-governmental Organization, Unit Committees, Civil Society, Decentralized Departments (DD) and Area /Town Council. Chapter Four (4) proceeds with the broad development programs for the planned period, which includes the Program of Action (PoA), as well as the Action Plan. The fifth chapter discuses implementation arrangement for the broad Composite Plan and Annual Action Plan. Finally, in chapter six, monitoring and evaluation arrangement are put in place to ensure that the Plan remains on course over the planned period. This involves development of monitoring indicators and targets for each thematic objective area. This chapter, again include the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of some of the physical projects to be undertaken. The various processes that were undertaken so that the plan can be accepted by the stakeholders were the involvement of the people through the participatory approach. This is to ensure the: Involvement of the people in decision or matters that affect them directly Encourage healthy democratic practices Help in winning the commitment of the project or project beneficiaries Enhance the sustainability of the project Promote equitable distribution of development intervention Promote the spread of knowledge and skills through the involvement of people in the development process The ultimate development focus of the Medium Term Plan, which has been set within the National Medium Term Development Policy Framework, is to: “Achieve accelerated and sustainable economic growth, improvement of social infrastructure, poverty reduction and promotion of gender equity, protection and empowerment of the vulnerable and excluded within a decentralized democratic environment.
CHAPTER ONE CURRENT SITUATION/DISTRICT PROFILE/BASELINE
1.1 INTRODUCTION A systematic review of achievements and challenges of the past Medium Term Development Plan (MTDP 20010-2013) is of great importance for a realistic assessment of the current situation of development in the district. This review of the past performance will put the District on the right footing so as to improve on our development priority objectives and strategies to achieve future targets. This chapter therefore provides a detailed outline of the District Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP) on the performance review of the previous Development Plan including the profile of the District as well as socio-economic characteristics (physical, demographic, environmental, economic, social services and spatial characteristics).
1.2 MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Central Tongu District is to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants through effective participation of communities in the mobilization of the needed resources, provision of social services and the creation of an enabling environment for private sector development
1.3 VISION STATEMENT The vision of the Central Tongu District Assembly is to relentlessly improve our output and our business efficiency in order to create better life for the many people in the District.
1.4 PERFORMANCE REVIEW UNDER GHANA SHARED GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA (GSGDA 1) In preparation of performance review of the Medium Term Development Plan for the period (2010-2013), a participatory approach was undertaken by engaging selected relevant stakeholders including sub-structures as Zonal Councils, unit committee members, traditional authorities, Head of decentralized and non-decentralized Departments. Policies, programmes, projects and activities in the various thematic areas and focus areas have been thoroughly discussed and challenges in implementation in the planned duration have been highlighted as summarized below:
1.4.1 ENSURING AND SUSTAINING MACRO ECONOMIC STABILITY This thematic area of Medium Term Development Plan (MTDP, 2010-2013) of the Assembly focused at increasing its locally generated fund as content in its programmes and projects. However, the implementation of the MTDP was largely affected by the enormous deductions at source made from the District Assemblies’ Common Fund by the Administrator of the Fund and cuts in financial support to the other key departments over the period. Local revenue mobilisation did not see any significant improvement to support the implementation of the Plan. Revenues generated locally were basically used for administrative purposes.

1.4.2 ENHANCING COMPETITIVENESS IN GHANA’S PRIVATE SECTOR The District Assembly in its 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan formulated various programmes and projects which aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of the Ghana’s Private Sector. However, very little progress was made in private sector growth and development. It thus appears that the requisite enabling environment for the private sector led growth in economic development has still not reached a significant level to make the necessary impact. Recent times, several investors and business establishments have made an influx of a lot of resources into the local economy especially in the agricultural, retail and tourism sector and it is hoped that these would make significant in private sector growth and development.

1.4.3 ACCELERATED AGRICULTURE MODERNISATION AND SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Contained in this thematic area of the 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan, various programmes and projects were formulated in consultation of relevant stakeholders which aimed at accelerating agriculture modernization and sustainable natural resource development. Central Tongu District is predominantly an agrarian economy. Crop Production in the district involved the use of simple labour intensive production techniques, heavy dependence on rainfall, which is scanty and erratic, and absence of irrigation facilities, high level of post-harvest losses, particularly in vegetable production. As a result of these characteristics, productivity and output are low.
Mechanizing agriculture is a prerequisite for a sustainable development in the district. The assembly had procured tractors to enhance block farming activities in the district. The Rural Technology Facility (RTF) designed various appropriates modern equipment to promote agro processing in the district.

1.4.5 INFRASTRUCTURE, ENERGY AND HUMAN SETTLEMENT The District Assembly in its 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan formulated various projects and programmes aimed to improve upon road and water transportation, to increase access to electrical power, to prepare land use plans and layouts for selected communities.

1.4.6 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTIVITY AND EMPLOYMENT Given that the greatest asset and driving force of the District’s development efforts is its human resource, a lot of effort was made during the period under review to ensure that citizens of the District were well catered for and their basic need especially in the areas of education, health care, water and sanitation supplied. Performance under this thematic area seems to be the main area of success in implementation. Education, health infrastructure projects and other related programmes including capacity building, institutional strengthening also featured very prominently within the planned period. Improvement in educational sector has seen a significant increase due to donor support from agencies European Union (EU), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the Highly Indebted
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 22
Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative, Community Base and Rural Development Project (CBRDP) and Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND).
The District Assembly also identified women in the area as more vulnerable especially the unemployed. To reduce their levels of vulnerability, the Assembly via its Cooperative Officer and BAC of Rural Enterprise Project worked to register women in the District to join micro credit schemes. Though most of the funds were channelled through Financial Non-governmental Organizations (FNGOs) and Banks, the Assembly helped to monitor the performance of the schemes during the period under review.

1.4.7 TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE This thematic area outlined issues about good governance and institutional framework in the District in ensuring proper decentralisation in the district. The aim of this programme is to build a strong institutional capacity, which will create an environment conducive for all sections of the society. The District Assembly operated through its eight (8) Area Councils in disseminating information to the people. Content of such messages included revenue generation and disbursement. The Assembly also attended public gathering as well as ‘Peoples Assembly’ were organised to inform the people about development projects being undertaken in the Area and the source of funding for them thereby deepening the decentralization process. In this direction, discussions centre on decentralization and its effects on administration in the District, relationships between traditional authorities, and the District Assembly, Judiciary, law enforcement and personal safety, the role of the Central Government and implementation of projects. To state succinctly, decentralisation in the district has seen a significant improvement and working to the satisfaction of all citizens in the District.

1.5.0 SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE A critical look at the review of the previous plan indicates that implementation of planned activities was low. The main reason for this performance was inadequate funding which was also caused by dwindling donor support to the district and deductions at source made from the District Assemblies’ Common Fund. Conscious efforts should be made in the next plan to strengthen the district’s revenue mobilisation drive to improve internally generated revenue which will be more reliable. Strategies should also be put in place to market the plan so as to attract more donors to sponsor projects in the plan.
1.5.1 Projects And Programme Implemented Outside the 2010-2013 MTDP Analysis of programmes and projects which could be mainstreams in any of the thematic Areas have the following comments on implementation status: Other programmes such as Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP), Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) and National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) were pivotal in alleviating poverty and social protection despite some challenges.
1.5.2 Revenue and Expenditure This section deals with the analysis of the revenue and expenditure pattern of the District Assembly from 2011 to 2013 with the aim of identifying areas that need intervention for the overall development of the District.

1.5.3.1 Revenue Sources An analysis of the pattern of revenue inflows into the District Assembly is through two main sources and these are internally generated revenue (internal) and external sources. Internal and external generated revenue sources within the District raises six (6) main sources. These are MP’s Common Fund, DACF, PWD, GSFP, IGF and DDF. The table above shows the major internal revenue sources in absolute figures from 2010 to 2013.
1.5.3.2 Development Implications The highest proportion of the District’s revenue is from external sources. The unreliability of this source negatively affects the implementation of projects and programmes in the District. The District Assembly should therefore increase its effort on internal revenue generation.

1.5.3.3 Structure and Level of Expenditure The District expenditure has been divided into recurrent and capital expenditure. Pesonnel emoluments, general administrative expenditure comprising mainly travelling and transport as well as maintenance of office equipment and miscellaneous expenditure consume almost all the internal revenue generated leaving totally nothing for development. The table above shows the sources of funds used in financing the District’s expenditure.
1.5.3.4 Key Problems Encountered During the Implementation Stage The analysis of the performance of the District for the period of 2010 and 2013 under review has been satisfactory. Amidst lots of challenges and constraints, there were a lot of appreciable achievements. Some of the challenges encountered and lessons learnt are listed as follows; Late release of funds to accelerate project implementation especially the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF). Low Level of Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to under-take projects.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 37
Political interference which resulted in the implementation of some activities outside the 2010-2013 MTDP Inadequate logistics and personnel to embark on routine supervision and Monitoring and Evaluation exercises Too many interference from central government especially in the source deductions of the DACF Over-loaded and over-ambitious projects which obstructed effective implementation and timely completion.
1.5.3.5 Lessons Learnt With Implications for the (2014-2017) MTDP There should be timely release of funds for the preparation of the next MTDP. There should be adequate documentation of district’s documents to facilitate preparation of next MTDP There should be adequate participation and involvement of all stakeholders in both the preparation and implementation of the plan The Assembly should collaborate with other decentralized departments in the implementation of cross-cutting issues in the plan and other programmes relating to their sectors

1.6.0 DISTRICT PROFILE 1.6.1 History The Central Tongu District was established by Legislative Instrument (LI. 2077) in February, 2012 and the District lies within latitudes 5047’N to 60N and longitude 0025’ E to 0045’E. The district was part of the southern Volta districts that were first colonized by the Danes and later on transferred to the British, was administered as part of the Gold Coast, now Ghana. Central Tongu District (formerly North Tongu District) was, at the time of its establishment in 1989, known as Adidome District. The North Tongu district was again divided into the current Central Tongu and the new North Tongu Districts.
1.6.2 Geographical Location The capital of the Central Tongu is Adidome and the District lies within latitudes 5047’N to 60N and longitude 0025’ E to 0045’E.
Figure 1: A map showing geographical location of Central Tongu District

CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 39
BOUNDARY DISTRICTS The Central Tongu shares boundaries with North Tongu at West, South Tongu at South, Akatsi at East and Adaklu Districts at North, all in the Volta Region. It also shares boundary at the Western and Eastern side with Ada-West and East Districts of the Greater Accra Region respectively. The strategic location and its nearness to the Volta Regional capital Ho and the National Capital Accra enhance marketing of Agricultural produce and other economic product produced from the District.
1.6.3 THE SIZE OF THE DISTRICT The District’s total land area is about 682.22 Km2 which is about 3.1% of the total land area of the Volta Region. The District is mainly accessible by road and by river (using boat and launch) on the River Volta. The two means of accessibility makes room for smooth transport of goods and people to and from the District. Part of the District is divided into two unequal halves by the Volta River, stretching from the Titikope in the North to Awadiwoekome Island, located south of the Lower Volta Bridge at Sogakope. There are three kinds of hard to reach areas in the district namely: Island communities’ these are Mafi-Dugame, Mafi-Kebenu and Awadiowoekome. Inland hard to reach area is Kpogadzi and those areas which are seasonally hard to reach especially in the raining seasons e.g. Avedo (Wudukpo, Amukpo, Kwaotsekope) and Kpoviadzi (Kpowu- afiadenyigba. Gafatsikope, Atiglinyikope) etc. because of poor road network.
1.6.4 POLITICAL /ADMINISTRATION STRUCTURE The General Assembly of the Central Tongu District Assembly is made up of Thirty nine (39) members. This figure comprises Twenty Seven (27) elected (11) members, twelve (12) government Appointees', one (1) District Chief Executive (DCE) and one (1) Member of Parliament of the Central Tongu Constituency. There are four (4) Sub-structures which are all of Area Councils status. These are: Adidome area council, Mafi –Kumase area council, Kpedzeglo area council and Bakpa area council.
1.6.5 POPULATION SIZE Taking cognizance of the population figure and the growth rate, the District population as at 2010 Population and Housing Census is 59,411 with a growth rate of 3.5% .The growth rate is higher than both the Regional and National growth rates of 2.5% and 2.5% respectively. This indicates that there will be a rapid increase in the pressure exerted on the existing services and resources in the District if care is not taken. The sex composition of the district is 27,790 representing 46.8 percent males while females constitute 53.2.percent with an absolute value of 31,621. This is consistent with both the regional (Males, 48.1%, Females, 51.9%) and the national (Males, 48.8%, Females, 51.9%) percentages
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 40
The land surface area of 682.22 square kilometers and a population size of 59,411 put the population density of the District at 87.08 persons per square kilometer
1.6.5.1 Age-Sex Structure A population pyramid is a graphical representation of the age-sex composition of a population and its broad based can be ascribe to the level of fertility; further the shape is influenced by the levels mortality, migration. The broadness of the base is determined by the level of fertility, while the shrinking upper part of the pyramid is determined by mortality and to some extent migration. A pyramid representing the structure of the total population by sex of the Central Tongu District in 2010 is shown by figure 1.1. The population under age 15 constitutes 38.7 percent of the total population. Whiles the older age groups (75+) are very small (3.6 percent) in comparison.
Below shows the Age and Sex structure of the District. Figure 2: A pictorial display of Population Pyramid

1.6.5.2 Dependency Ratio The age-dependency ratio is the ratio of people in the “dependent” ages (those aged 14 and below and those aged 65and older) to those in the “economically productive” ages (15 to 64 years) in a population.
The age-dependency ratio is often used as an indicator of the burden borne by the population within the productive ages. The dependency ratio for the Central Tongu District is 85. This means that there are 85 dependents for every 100 population in the productive age group in the District.
The table below shows, that there are approximately 88 males in the dependent age groups for every 100 males in working age group and 83 females in the dependent age group for every 100 females in the working ages. The dependency ratio in terms of rural and urban population is 87 and 72 people respectively to a 100 people in the working ages.
This compares the number of people who are working and gaining income in an economy with those who are not working (mostly because of their age) in a situation where those who are not working because of their age (too old or too young) are more than those who are active and working, then we experience a high dependency ratio. In the case of the Central Tongu District, the people within Pre-School and Primary School ages of 0-14 years represent 44.3 per cent of the total population, while those at the retiring age of 60 and above form 7.9 percent giving the total percentage of the dependent population to be forming a dependent population of 52.2 percent. Considering the fact that some of those in the age group of 15 – 19 are still students in SSS, the dependent population actually will be 61.7 percent of the total population. Figure 3: Population Distribution of the Central Tongu District Population Distribution
9% 0-14 8% 44% 15-19 28% 20-24 45-59 60+ 11%
Following from above, it is very clear that only 40 per cent of the population is in the active labour force group, making the dependency ratio around 1: 3 which can be simply interpreted
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 42 that one active worker is expected to work hard enough to cater for his/her own needs as well as for three people who will depend on him/her for their survival. Such a situation impacts greatly on development because it makes it very difficult for the active population to save for onward investment in other development projects
1.6.5.3 Sex Ratio
The total number of females (31,621) in the district is higher than that of males (27,790). In terms of proportions it means there are 87.9 males to every 100 females. Almost all the 5year age groupings exhibit this trend of females out numbering the males; however there are some few age that do not conform to the norm. Age groupings of 0-4 (101.3:100), 5-9 (102.2:100) and 15- 19 (108.2:100) respectively

1.6.5.5 Literacy Rate in the District
The figure below shows the percentage of literates and illiterates within the Central Tongu District. The proportion of literates (72%) is far higher than that of illiterate (28.0%). Similar picture is depicted by the male and female bars; however the proportion of female illiterates is higher that than of the male illiterates. This is represented in the below:

1.7.0 DOMINANT ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES/AGRICULTURE 1.7.1 Industries & Commerce Women are engaged in pottery and earthenware dishes production at New Bakpa and Kpoviadzi for the local and external markets. These are done on part-time and full – time basis. Output is low while the markets are limited. It could be organized into viable women’s groups and supported with credit to make them viable. There are similar projects at Vume in the South Tongu District, which has developed into an export market. There are also small –scale weavers at Mafi Akyemfo. The agriculture, forestry and fishing industry is the largest industrial sector, which employed 68.1 percent of the economically active population 15 years and older. The other two major industries are manufacturing (10.6%), and wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles (7.2%) with their respective employment.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 48
1.8.0 Agriculture 1.8.1 Farming Agriculture is the leading sector in the District’s economy. The sector is dominated by small scale unorganized farmers who depend mainly on natural rainfall and simple labour intensive production techniques. Though the Agricultural sector is the leading economic sector, it is characterized by low productivity resulting from the continuous usage of indigenous farm implements, adoption of indigenous farming practices and uneven distribution of rainfall. Another feature is the high level of post harvest losses particularly in maize and vegetable production. However, there are some commercial farms in the District and they are; Pierre Volta Rice Farm which is situated in between the Central and the North Districts and serves as employment opportunities for the unemployed youth in the district.
1.8.2 Fishing River fishing mostly in the Volta River has declined considerably due to the formation of the Volta Lake. The principal traditional fishing communities (Bakpa, Mafi Adidome), which are close to the Volta, have had their economic base eroded. Many of the economically active population have been lost to areas along the Volta Lake in the Kete-Krachi, Nkwanta, Kpando, Atebubu, Gonja – East, Afram Plains and other districts.
1.8.3 Livestock According to the Ghana’s Population and Housing Census report of 2010, a total of 106,319 livestock of different species are reared in the district as indicated in table below. The table presents the distribution of livestock and the livestock keepers. The proportion of chicken represents the highest (48.4 %) of various types of livestock followed by cattle (20.0%), goat (11.3%), sheep (6.8%), guinea fowl (4.3%), inland fishing (0.054 %). Marine fishing recorded the least percentage of 0.05, possibly due the district’s distance from the coast.

The livestock sector forms an integral part of the farming system. More than 30% of the farming families in the District keep some ruminants. The Central Tongu District is one of the largest cattle producing areas in the country. Apart from the two major cattle ranches at Amelorkope and Adidokpavu, individual farmers keep Kraals all over the District.

1.9.0 TOURISM SITES
1.9.1 The Districts Center for National Culture The District Center for National Culture is responsible for liaising and monitoring cultural activities in the District that fall under the Central Government. Due to lack of staff and other logistics the center has not been effective.
1.10.0 RECREATION / ENTERTAINMENT The main recreational and entertainment activities in the District are: Traditional drumming (Agbadza, Atsiagbekor, Kenka, Borborbor etc.), Swimming in rivers and streams, Boat racing mainly at Mepe and Bakpa, Fishing; Indoor games; and Life performances by concert and dance bands. The recreational and entertainment activities are organized mainly by private entrepreneurs for the public and individuals for themselves.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 52
1.11.0 PHYSICAL FEATURES 1.11.1 Vegetation The District lies within the Tropical Savannah Grassland zone. The Volta River runs through the district with many communities totted along the banks of the River. This makes the district a suitable place for large scale farming. The vegetation is dense along the Volta River and also along the other River basins. This is basically due to the presence of more fertile and better subsoil moisture. This vegetation consists of baobab, mangoes, oil palm, silk cotton, acacia etc. The vegetation is sparse beyond the Volta basin, and is predominantly grassland, interspersed, with nim trees and guinea grass and fan palms.

1.11.2 Climate The climate of the district is Tropical, greatly influenced by the South-West Monsoons from the south Atlantic and the dry Harmattan winds from the Sahara. There are two rainy seasons, the major one from mid-April to early July and the minor from September to November. The average annual rainfall varies from 900mm to 1100mm with more than 50 per cent of it occurring in the major season. Rainfall generally is inadequate even during the major season, which adversely affects both crop and cattle production in the District. Temperature and relative humidity vary little throughout the year. The mean temperature is 27º C and the minimum and maximum vary from 22º C to March is the hottest month while July and August are the coolest months. Average relative humidity is about 80 percent, making the weather quite conducive for farming activities and recreational purposes.

1.11.3 Geology and Mineral Composition
The district is predominantly covered with medium to moderately coarse alluvial soils particularly in areas adjoining the Volta River. Below these categories of soils are the heavier clayey soils which are very common in most parts of the District. This soil type is very suitable for rice production. Areas between Adidome, Anfoe, Kpedzeglo, Mafi-Kumase, Sasekpe and Bakpa-Avedo consist of moderately coarse or sandy loams which drain easily and are suitable for agricultural purposes. The main mineral deposits in the district are: - Clay, Oyster Shells, Nepheline, Gneiss, Sand and Granite. Many of these have not been exploited economically.

1.12.0 CULTURAL AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE 1.12.1 Chieftaincy, Religious Beliefs and Ethnic Groups The district is made up of three traditional areas and they are the Mafi's, Bakpa's and the Vume's people. All these traditional groupings have their unique chieftaincy institutions. The main religious groupings that exit in the district are the Christians, Moslems and Traditional believers. More than three-quarters of the population belong to one of the various Christian religious bodies while the other religious groupings in the district have a population less than a quarter of the total population. All the ethnic groups within the District speak the Tongu ascent of the Ewe language, however there are few non-ewes and mainly speak the Hausa language. One major traditional festival in the district is the Mafi Hogbetsotso which is celebrated annually by the Mafi Traditional council.
1.13.0 HEALTH CARE The district has one hospital located in Adidome.and other health facilities such as Mafi Kumase Health Post, Mafi Sasekpe Health Centre, Kpoviadzi Health Centre Avedo CHPS Zone, Gidikpoe CHPS Zone, Agoe CHPS Zone, and Tove CHPS Zone. There is a private clinic at Adidome by name Biodum Maternity which supplements health services at the District capital.
1.14.0 TRANSPORTATION The road network in the district is fast improving. First and second class roads link major communities within the district and also to the industrial centre of Accra and Tema. The bitumen surface roads in the District are the Adidome town road and Sogakope to Adidome road. The Sogakope –Adidome–Ho road which is currently under construction, on completion will enhance accessibility within the District and also to other Districts and the Regional capital. The Adidome – Volo – Juapong feeder road is another major outlet for the District. In addition to these are a number of feeder roads that link major farming areas to market centres. These feeder roads need to be maintained regularly. The District can also be access via the Volta River; and this is mainly through the use of small boats and the launch. This makes room for smooth transport of goods and people to and from the district to nearby districts.
1.14.1 TELECOMMUNICATION All the mobile telecommunication networks can be accessed in the Central Tongu District (e.g. MTN, Tigo and Vodafone) as this promotes easy communication with the outside world. The existence of a community radio (Dela FM) at Adidome also serves as an avenue for advertisement and marketing of business establishments.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 56
1.15.0 DISTRICT ECONOMY 1.15.1 Industries and Commerce Women are engaged in pottery and earthenware dishes production on part-time and full – time basis at New Bakpa and Kpoviadzi for the local and external markets. There are also small – scale weavers at Mafi Akyemfo as well as a brick and tile factory at Kpogede near Adidome. Stone quarrying activities are also predominant in the district with a major quarry site being developed at Tsawla near Adidome.
1.16.0 MINERAL DEPOSITS The main mineral deposits in the District are: clay, oyster shells, feldspar, nepheline gneiss, sand and granite.
1.16.1 Clay The soils around Kpoviadzi, Adidome, and New Bakpa are rich in clay deposits. These are suitable for the manufacture of bricks and tiles, ceramic products and local pottery products. The Adidome Brick and Tile factory has started exploiting the clay resources around Adidome estimated at about 19 million metric tons and covering an area of 6 million m².
1.16.2 Oyster Shells Deposits of Oyster shells used for paint, animal feed among others are found in several areas of the District, notably at Adidome, Bakpa ,Tsetsekpo ,kpogede and Awadiwoekome with Known deposits total about 250 thousand metric tons.
1.16.3 Granite Fine unexploited aggregates occur in heaps of hills near New Bakpa. These can support the construction industry. People have started small scale quarrying in the vicinity of Avakpedome, Mafi Kumase and Kpedzeglo.

CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 58
1.17.0 SURFACE ACCESSIBILITY The District has very few motorable roads. The only tarred roads in the District are the, Adidome Township road, Sogakope – Adidome section of the Sogakope –Adidome – Ho road is tarred whilst work is on-going on the Adidome – Ho portions of the roads. This road links the district to other districts and also the Regional capital. Though not fully tarred and in extremely bad conditions, these roads are all year round motorable roads in the District. All other areas are accessible by tracks and earth roads only in the dry season.
The Adidome – Volo – Juapong(North Tongu) feeder road, which has been constructed, has form a major outlet for the District and is expected to greatly improve surface accessibility in the District but the unfortunate situation is that the road has gone bad again due to the heavy trucks plying the road due to the nature of Adomi Bridge.
1.18.0 CONDITIONS OF NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT A myriad of factors both natural and man-made have influenced the current environment of the District. Human activities have taken a great toll on the natural environment, which used to be balanced and with a great dose of esthetically attractive environment. Human activities such as destruction of forest through cutting of trees for fuel wood, bush fires and charcoal and massive construction activities have affected the ecological balance of the District very much. The District’s micro-climate has been affected greatly resulting in the reduction of rainfall figures and extension of the dry season.
The lack of comprehensive Physical Development Plan for most of the towns of the District has promoted the sporadic development of buildings without considering the environment and some natural signs like water ways and flood prone areas. This has been the major cause of flooding that is normally experienced in some parts of the District.
Apart from the major towns in the district, which can boast of complex buildings, most of the towns have simple buildings, chamber and hall and single rooms. There are some compound houses as well, which normally house a large number of households. Large families mostly own such houses.
1.19.0 WASTE DISPOSAL AND MANAGEMENT Due to the unplanned nature of most of the communities in the District, there are no laid down waste collection and disposal process. Also because of the scarcity of industries, most wastes in the District are generated from domestic sources and are very difficult to collect since most of the people tend to dispose off such waste anywhere and anyhow they find suitable for them.However, the coming in of Zoomlion Waste Management team has change the situation.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 59
The problem of weed control is also of great concern. Most of the communities are almost always overgrown with weeds and nobody seems to care, people wait on the Assembly to clear their backyards for them. This issue has resulted because of the inadequate sanitary inspectors in most of these communities and lack of bye-laws that will promote sanitation in these communities.
1.20.0 PEOPLE AND CULTURE The people of the Central Tongu District are mainly Ewe speaking people organized under traditional authorities. The main source of inheritance in the area is partrilineal. The District is organized into three (3) traditional areas and the traditional authorities play a major role in fostering the development of the area by supporting the District Assembly in the areas of revenue mobilization and the mobilization of human resources during communal labour. Among the festivals celebrated in the area is the, Hogbetsotso which serves as a unifying instrument to mobilize resources for development. In the area of religion, the people of the District are mostly Christians (70%), practitioners of African Traditional religion (25%) and some Muslims (5%).
1.21.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SITUATION The quality of the environment of the District is generally and comparatively fair. Due to the rural nature of the District, it has less pollution from industrial and vehicular waste and other pollutants like large volumes of domestic waste, which is mostly associated with large population centers. Those notwithstanding, human activities in the District have adversely affected the Districts environment significantly.
1.21.1 Natural Environment Human activities in the district over the years have adversely affected the natural environment in the District in many ways. Being a dominant occupation in the District, cattle rearing has brought about massive over-grazing resulting in soil erosion and degradation. The situation is also worsened by poor farming practices adopted by the people, which include over-cultivation and bush burning.
The escalating spate of deforestation in the area is also due to charcoal burning, fuel wood collection, bushfires, farming and small scale mining of oyster shells at Adidome, sand and gravel at Dekpoe, Avakpedome, and Asiekpe, and many other communities. It also noteworthy that the creation of the Akosombo and Kpong dams has adversely affected the ecology of the district in several ways, which include; No deposition of silt on the flood plains to improve soil fertility due to the cessation of the annual flooding of the Volta.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 60
The situation created by the dam at the lower Volta and the presence of riverweeds has caused extinction of oyster and destruction of the fishing industry.

CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 61
1.21.2 Built Environment The major problem of the built environment is the unplanned nature of the settlements and the poor physical condition of majority of the structures resulting in poor aesthetic quality.
Lack or non-enforcement of building regulations in most communities of the District has also resulted in the construction of a myriad of buildings, which lack basic amenities like toilets, proper bathrooms and provision for the disposal of both solid and liquid waste. The result is open defecation and unorganized refuse disposal in the District.
The unplanned nature of most of the communities in the District has also resulted in the absence of drainage within the settlements thereby enhancing stagnation of liquid waste for breeding of mosquitoes, pests and bacteria. The situation is also worsened by ignorance of people about the need to improve the quality of the environment and absence of qualified personnel, appropriate technology and resources to improve the environment. The environmental deterioration in the District is also partly due to the failure of Volta River Authority (VRA) to manage the aftermath effects of the two dams constructed at Akosombo and Kpong.

1.22.0 RURAL /URBAN SPLIT The urban status of a community as per the 2010 population and housing census is based on the size of the population. Localities with population 5,000 or more are classified as urban. On the basis of this definition it can be deduced that the population of the Central Tongu District is predominantly rural as 51,824 (87.2%) are in the rural areas whiles 7,587(12.8%) are in the urban areas.
1.23.0 MAIN TOWNS AND VILLAGES The 2000 Population and Housing Census listed the first 20 largest settlements in the District, with Adidome being the largest with a population of 6,347 people. The first 20 largest settlements are listed on table 1 according to the Area Council in which they fall.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 63
Other large settlements in the District outside the first 20 brackets are Old and New Bakpa in the Bakpa Area Council and Kpedzeglo, which is the seat of its Local Council Area. A concentration of relatively large settlements is also found in the Dusor Area Council whilst vast areas of the District have very few settlements, mostly cattle rearing and farm hamlets far apart and are accessible by tracks, some only in the dry season.

1.23.0 ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE 1.23.1 Markets The major markets in the District are the Adidome and the Mafi Kumase markets. The Adidome market has bi-weekly market days (Tuesdays and Fridays) while Mafi Kumase market has only Mondays as market days. Both markets enjoy wide patronage with traders coming from as far as Accra, Koforidua, Aflao and other places beyond the Region. Both markets are being reconstructed with proper structures and facilities under a Government / World Bank (CBRDP) sponsorship. Other smaller markets are found at Adidome, Mafi Avedo, Battor and Mafi Agorve but they lack proper structures and need to be improved upon.
1.23.2 Shops A large number of shops are situated at major towns in the District. Located mainly around markets and irregularly along the main roads of towns, these shops trade in various goods ranging from household items to chemicals. The District also has large number chemical shops, which supply the populace with first aid drugs.
1.23.3 Hotels and Restaurants Few hotels and restaurants are found in the District – Esenam Hotel, Ronna Guest House and Salem Hotel (Adidome),
There are other guesthouses in the major towns, as well as restaurants, drinking bars and chop bars within the markets and along the main roads throughout the District.
1.23.4 Banking and Insurance There are two Rural Banks which have its headquarters’ within the Central Tongu district. These are the Amuga Rural Bank at Adidome with branches at Mafi-Kumase. The Amuga Rural Bank has four Agencies such are situated at Battor, Juapong, Mafi Kumase as well as Ho. The number of banks in the District is few and this can be attributed mainly to the low level of economic activities. There is no insurance company in the District. The people therefore depend on other districts for such services.
1.23.5 Tourism The accessibility to Mafi-Awakpedome ancestral caves has now been improved and the local and international tourists visit the place without any difficulties.
1.24.0 Social Infrastructure The areas considered under this section are health, education, social welfare, security, Recreation and entertainment.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 65
1.24.1 Health Health Service delivery in Ghana is organized on hierarchical basis of hospitals, health centers/posts and clinics. For efficient operation of these centers, there is the need for other support services like Doctors, nurses and other paramedics. The District can boost of one hospital at Adidome and health centers situated at Mafi Kumase, Mafi Sasekpe, and other towns as shown on the table following. The table also shows the staffing positions of the various hospitals and health centres in the District. However, there is one private maternity home at Adidome with one Nurse. The district is divided into five (5) sub-districts for health delivery. These are Adidome, Kpoviadzi-Avedo, Mafi-Kumase, Mafi-Sasekpe and Kpogadzi. There is one District Hospital thus the Adidome Hospital, three (3) Health Centres namely, Mafi- Kumase H/C, Sasekpe H/C and Kpoviadzi H/C, two (2) private clinics, Biodun Maternity and Seva Clinic and seven (7) CHPS zones namely. Agoe CHPS, Gidikpoe CHPS, Adalekpoe CHPS, New Bakpa CHPS, Avedo CHPS, Tove CHPS and Kpogadzi CHPS.

1.25.0 EDUCATION The basic educational facilities in the District are Pre-School; Kindergarten Schools, Primary Schools, Junior Secondary schools and Senior Secondary Schools with greater number of educational infrastructure provided by the public sector. There are a few educational facilities provided by the private sector, especially at the pre-school, primary and Junior Secondary levels.
1.25.1 Educational Infrastructure The standard of education is greatly influenced by a great number of factors apart from the infrastructure. The quality of teachers in terms of their educational attainment greatly affects the type of teaching they deliver. The population of the students in a class also affects the teaching and learning activities. Where the teacher-student ratio is high output in terms of quality
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 71 education reduces markedly whilst where the ratio is low, students get the needed attention from their teachers thereby producing better results.
There are sixty Eight (68) public and sixteen (16) private primary schools which are spread in the 8 educational circuit areas of the District. The average teacher / pupil ratio in the public schools is 1:45, which is an average figure; however the problem is about how to attract qualified teachers to communities as many parts of the district are remote. Junior High Schools in the district numbered 47 public and five (5) private across the district. The teacher/pupil ratio at this level is not different from the picture painted at the primary level that is 1:43. In these entire ratios the advantage is skewed towards school in urban and peri-urban communities.
There are two (3) Senior high Schools in the district that serve the interest of the many qualified applicants from the Junior High Schools.

1.25.2 Primary Schools There are 84 public primary schools which are spread in the 8 educational circuit areas of the district, with a total population of 10,324. The average teacher / pupil ratio is 1:33, which is an average figure, however the problem is about how to attract qualified teachers to communities as many parts of the district are remote.
1.25.3 Junior Secondary Schools There are 52 Junior Secondary Schools in the public sector with a total enrolment of 3,532 taught by 208 teachers, giving an average teacher / student’s ratio of 1: 16 Table 23: Distribution of Junior Secondary Schools by circuit, student and quality of staff (2014/2015) CIRCUIT NO.

1.25.4 Participation Rate By School Type By Sex As shown on table 5, participation rate for both sexes in the pre-school age group of 3-5 years is rather low, as most rural settlements lack the facilities to cater for the children. The rate is however, encouraging for both sexes in the primary school, but it drops when the children enter the JSS, with more girls dropping out. The participatory rate in the Senior Secondary School for girls dropped drastically and also for the age group of 15 – 17 as many as 85% of the JSS students do not continue into Senior Secondary School, basically as consequence of poor examination results. There is therefore the need to intensify the promotion of girl – child education in the District, and also make realistic and result oriented polices to arrest general falling standard of education in the district.

Grouping the students who passed by aggregates categorization, it is quite clear that a large number of the students have aggregates between 25-30 which is not good and demands that a special attention be given to Junior Secondary School education in the District to help reverse the trend of poor performance in examinations.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 79
The formal educational sectors in the District face a number of challenges. Notable among them are:
Poor classroom and furniture condition in the schools; Inadequate textbooks, reading and teaching / learning materials, education and sports equipment; Inadequate qualified circuit supervisors and support staff in the schools; Inaccessible owing to lack of roads in many parts of the District. Lack of accommodation for staff especially in the remote areas. Poor community participation in infrastructure development and management of schools; High rate of female dropout after primary level.
1.25.5 Library Facilities There is no public library at the district capital Adidome; however the Member of Parliament there is a Central Library for all schools in the Mepe Township.
1.26.0 SOCIAL WELFARE AND SECURITY Current national social welfare policy aims at promoting conditions, which will safeguard and maximize the desirable consequences of development. The District as the administrative head plays a facilitating role in ensuring the successes of the activities of the departments responsible for the promotion of desirable conditions in the District are; Ghana Police Ghana National Fire Service Department of Social Welfare National Disaster Management organization – NADMO Information Service Department. Department of Community Development. NCCE Births and Deaths Registry. The functions and desired of existing staffing of departments which provide social welfare and security services in the District are summarized in Table below.

1.26.1 Police Station: Though there are two police stations in the District, located at Adidome, and Mafi Kumase, they are inadequate given the size of the area, population and spread of settlements. The District also lacks a permanent District Police Headquarters, which will co-ordinate the overall security in the District. All the Police stations in the District operate under Adidome Police Headquarters.
1.26.2 Fire Service: There are Ghana National Fire Service Stations at Adidome which are housed in rented premises. With the presence of fire tenders at the station, there is much improvement in output as compare to the previous years.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 81
1.27.0 ENERGY 1.27.1 Electricity The following communities: Adidome, Akyemfo, Mafi Kumase Asiekpe and are currently connected to the national grid. Extension of electric power to towns / villages outside the District Capital is currently under way by the Central Government through rural electrification programme the lines are being extended and very soon most of the major settlements will have electricity.
1.27.2 Other Energy Sources The other sources of energy in the District are petroleum for vehicles, kerosene for lighting, wood fuel / charcoal for cooking and the sun for drying. There are at present five main fuel retail stations at Adidome, Mafi Kumase and Asiekpe. These stations also serve as the sources of kerosene for the entire District. Wood fuel and charcoal now liquefied petroleum gas are the main sources of energy for cooking. Charcoal burning is carried out widely in the District around Kpedzeglo, Mafi Kumase,
1.28.0 WATER SUPPLY Apart from Mafi Kumase and their immediate surroundings, which have pipe borne water, the main sources of water supply in the District are rivers, wells, dams and rainwater. The Volta River, which runs through the southern portion of the District, provides an important source of water supply to the towns and villages, which are located along it. Those settlements which are located away from the river depend on wells, dams and streams. These are however not reliable sources of water supply because rainfall is low in the District and hence the small streams and wells become dry especially during the long dry season. DANIDA water project provides pipe- borne water to Tedeafenui, and other communities in the Adidome area. Currently under a partnership programme between GTZ and the District Assembly the Adidome Township and its environs are benefiting from piped water systems. Also, under a partnership programme between AMURT and the Assembly, the Zongo Township and its environs are benefiting from piped water systems.
Again under VIP, a World Bank sponsored project, the Akplordodi Water Scheme is almost completed and will serve about eleven communities in the New Bakpa area with pipe – borne water. The River Volta passes through the District and other streams that serves as drinking water to the people who didn’t have pipe borne water in their various communities. The increase in sand winning activities in the District has resulted in pollution of this water bodies hence has numerous health hazards on people. This is one area that the District would concentrate within 2014-2016 to check the activities of sand winners in the District.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 82
1.29.0 POSTS AND TELECOMMUNICATION 1.29.1 Postal Services Postal Services in the District are not up to standard due to the poor nature of roads and low volume of mails from the existing Post Offices and Postal Agencies. The only existing Post Offices is at Adidome and one agent at Mafi-Kumase.
1.29.2 Telecommunications All major mobile telephony service providers have their network at various locations in the district. This has facilitated communication in the district; however there are no fix lines which tend to hamper the delivery of official information to offices.
1.30.0 INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION Industries are not widespread in the District however; there are few notable industries as follows:
1.30.1 Agro Processing Gari processing is done by women using various traditional methods at Mafi Kumase, Anfoe, Mawoekpor, Kpedzeglo, and Bakpa–Avedo areas. The technology and equipment used are indigenous. The main weakness of the traditional processing however is the low labour productivity, product quality and lack of already market for the product.
1.30.2 Adidome Brick and Tile Factory This was established to exploit the fine clay deposits around Adidome to produce bricks for the housing sector. It employs a labour force of about 40. There is a high demand for the burnt bricks from the factory, but production is inadequate. The factory which is owned by a private entrepreneur who also own warehouse at Accra for the marketing of their products.
1.30.3 River Sand Winning There are river sand winners sprouting up on the river bank at Adidome and the surrounding villages because of the sand deposit in the Volta river in commercial quantity. Though this create job opportunity for the youths in the area their activities needs to be check to prevent pollution of the water and destruction of aquatic life.
1.30.4 Pottery production Women are engaged in pottery and earthenware dishes production at New Bakpa and Kpoviadzi for the local and external markets. These are done on part-time and full–time basis. Output is low while the markets are limited. It could be organized into viable women’s groups and supported with credit to make them viable. There are similar projects at Vume in the South Tongu District, which has developed into an export market. There are also small –scale weavers at Mafi Akyemfo.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 83
1.30.5 INFORMAL SECTOR Apart from the above industries, there are various informal sector activities. They are characterized by low investment, run on family basis, poorly equipped, limited access to institutional credit and extension advice.
1.31.0 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the Assembly is very low. This is because only a few revenue sources are exploited although there are several revenue sources. Revenue collection is concentrated mainly on the Adidome, Avedo and Mafi Kumase markets. No revenue is collected, for instance, as property rate from Sun City Hotel and other hotels in Adidome, Adidome Ceramics and others. It is estimated that about 10 percent of the country’s Cattle production is found in the district yet no rates are collected from cattle farmers. The problem is mainly the absence of any effective revenue collection machinery in the District, coupled with low tax education of the citizens and lack of data. As a result, the Assembly over depends on the DACF for all development projects. The release is however erratic, thus having destabilizing effect on the Assembly’s Financial Management.
1.32.0 STOCK OF DISTRICT ASSEMBLY From 2001 projects which were not up to 70 percent completion were stopped, so that the Assembly could re-organize the funding for the completion of the projects. As of now, the District awards of projects is normal as compare to previous years but because of financial constraints payment of contractors are delay.
1.33.0 FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS The Amuga Rural Bank together with its agencies in the District has not made any significant impact in financing of rural small – scale industry and commerce.
1.34.0 POPULATION MANAGEMENT With the district’s annual population growth rate of 3 percent, it is a major concern to population policy advocates and therefore the need to intensify the campaign for fertility and birth control. Majority of the people are not being reached with birth control and reproductive health services to enable them make informed choices.
Except for patients who attend the hospitals at Adidome and hear about family planning and fertility control choices there have not been any regular and deliberate programmes which target people in the reproductive age group, especially those in the hinterland, due to the very bad conditions of roads. As a result, teenage pregnancy is rampant, with its accompanying high school dropout rates and high dependency ratio.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 84
Services provided by the PPAG in the district benefit only people in the Adidomeb area, thus conservative attitudes of people towards contraceptive choices to control fertility and birth are a hindrance to efforts at conscious population management.
1.35.0 WATER SUPPLY An important indicator of good health is the presence of safe, good and potable water for the majority of the people. Only a few communities in the district have access to potable water. Adidome is served from the Community‘s own water scheme. The Catholic Mission however provides untreated water through standpipes along the main road in Adidome. There also exist the Six District Water Project which provides water for some communities in the Central Tongu, North Tongu, Ada East and West Districts and now serving Ningo Prapram. Currently, there is a Five District Water Projects sponsored by the Austrians Government which is still ongoing and if completed will provide safe pipe borne water to about 60%-70% of the communities in the Central Tongu District. All the other towns and villages depend on dams and wells, and those along the Volta and other rivers depend on rivers for their water supply.
1.36.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT Another indicator of good health is the adequacy and efficiency in waste collection and disposal. Many settlements lack toilets and refuse dumps thus encouraging open defecation and unorganized refuse disposal. The absence of drainage within the settlements enhances stagnation of liquid waste to breed mosquitoes and bacteria. There are very few Environmental Health Officers in the district, one each at Mafi Kumase, Avedo and Five in Adidome. This creates laxity in the enforcement of environmental health regulations in the district. There is the need for a programme to enhance the capacity of Environmental Health Officers in the district in order to improve upon environmental quality of the built up areas of the district.
1.37.0 MISSION INTERNATIONAL This is a school not in the normal system but an institution where “liberated” Trokosi Slaves are given basic life skills in dress-making, baking, batik/tie and dye making and other vocations. They are thus prepared to integrate into normal society life and being economically empowered to fend for themselves. The school, situated at Adidome is run by an NGO and accepts students of different ages from other shrines located inside and outside the district.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 85
1.38.0 CHILD LABOUR. Three (3) Areas of Focus are: 1. Institutional Capacity building (strengthening the technical capacity of relevant district agencies ) 2. Social mobilization ( Awareness raising on the effects of child labour and available alternatives, community participation and networking ) 3. Law enforcement (publication of existing laws, community involvement in law enforcement, strategic prosecutions).
1.39.0 INTERNATIONAL NEEDS This NGO run an institution located at Adidome, which gives vocational training and skills to girls as a means of empowering the girl – child, especially school dropouts to fends for themselves.
1.40.0 THE AWAKPEDOME SPECIAL SCHOOL Located at Awakpedome, this School caters for the physically and mentally challenged children.
1.41.0 GOOD GOVERNANCE The institutional framework for local governance in the district is the District Assembly and its sub-structures. The Central Tongu District Assembly is composed of: 42 elected representatives from the electoral areas. One Member of Parliament from each of the two constituencies The District Chief Executive 19 other members are appointed by the President in consultation with traditional authorities and other interest groups in the district. By various pieces of legislation, particularly the Local Government Act (Act 462) 1993, the Assembly is the highest political, administrative, rating and planning authority in the district with deliberative, legislative and executive powers. The Assembly is charged by law with the responsibility of the overall development of the district.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 86
The Executive Committee of the Assembly discusses and adopts projects and programmes emanating from its sub-committees for the approval and ratification of the General Assembly for execution. The existing sub-committees of the Executive Committee are: Development Planning Social Services Works Finance and Administration Justice and Security The Executive Committee, working through its sub-committees, provides a point of convergence, co-ordination and harmonization of programmes, for execution.
1.41.1 Sub-District Structures To make for the involvement of all in the development process and the art of governance in the district, the sub-district structures were created. These are Town / Area Councils immediately below the Assembly, and unit committees, which are village/community level organizations. At present there are four area councils namely Bakpa, Adidome, Mafi Kumase and Kpedzeglo.
1.41.2 Office of District Assembly This office functions as the Secretariat of the Assembly, and is headed by the District Co- ordinating Director, who together with the Heads of Department provide technical support and advice to the Assembly.
The Office of District Assembly as an instrument of good governance is hampered in the performance of its duties by inadequate number of staff, the absence of a number of key departments, ill-equipped office machinery, inadequate office and residential accommodation, furniture, equipment and vehicles. The New Assembly Hall complex completed and now being used by the Assembly has cater for the office space of the Assembly but needs to be stock by furniture and related office equipments to improve efficiency at the work place.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 87
1.41.3 Town/Area Councils and Unit Committee The effective and efficient functioning of these sub-district structures in very paramount and an indication of the dynamism of local government.
However, due to inadequate staffing, inadequate logistics, which are all cash flow problems, has resulted in many of these sub-district structures not functioning properly or are not firmly on the ground.
1.41.4 Social Groups Besides the above institutional and administrative structures for governance in the district, there are social groups along Traditional Unit lines like: Mafi Development Association Bakpa Youth and development Association
In addition to organizing development in their respective traditional areas, these social groups also serve as conduits through which public opinion is transmitted to the Assembly.
1.41.5 Traditional Authorities There are four traditional areas in the district, namely Mafi, Bakpa and Vume. Being the custodians of the land and play the constitutional role in the process of nominating the District Chief Executive and the Members of Parliament of the Constituencies, the traditional authorities have a great influence in the governance of the district.
1.41.6 Non-Government Organisation A few NGOs operate in the district playing important roles especially in the provision of social services and infrastructure to the rural communities. They include DANIDA – Community Water and Sanitation Project assisting rural communities and institutions to improve their water supply and sanitation situation.
Another is the Congregation of the Servant of Charity which assists the physically c
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 88
Another NGO named Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT) located at Mafi-Dekpoe whose programme includes provision of water, tree planting and fish farming to help rural communities improve upon their economic well-being.
Major religious organizations like the Catholic Church and the E. P. Church have made great impact in the district as partners in development in areas of education, health service and water supply delivery. However, the CBOs and NGOs have had no or very little influence or impact on governance in the district. The development of Districts is vital to the success of Ghana’s total development process because the Districts form the base for the total national structure. To ensure rapid development, in a systematic and well-coordinated manner, most districts took it upon themselves to plan their development processes. The Central Tongu District is one of such Districts, which has made a lot of efforts in the area of District Development Planning. The 2014-2017, The Medium Term Development Plan for the District was prepared. The Plan was prepared taking cognizance of the Ghana Shared Growth Development Agenda, Volume I (GSGDA II) document, which was to help the country attain a middle-income status.
The greater part of the projects listed in the MTDP, 2010-2013 were implemented and some are yet to be complete and the rest were not implemented because of financial difficulties. Further the failure can also be attributed to the fact that the planning processes were not people- centered. People’s participation was very poor and this resulted in lack of ownership and support by the people.
To address the tremendous implementation failure that was associated with the previous Medium Term Development Plan, more refined and people centered medium term development plan is to replace the previous one. The Plan, which is to cover the periods 2013-20117, is to cater for most of the projects under the previous Plan, which could not be implemented. It was also to help formulate a well-structured document based on selected thematic areas. The plan therefore will cover the following areas of the District development process: Ensuring and sustenance of macroeconomic stability

CHAPTER TWO (2) DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES 2.0 Introduction This chapter outlines prioritization of development issues in the District. The community needs were collated during consultative meetings with all the Zonal Councils. These community’s needs and aspirations were harmonized against the key gaps/problems or development issues identified under 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan performance review.
2.0.1Key Development Problems/Issues linked to the 2014-2017 GSGDA Key development issues emerging from performance review and situational analysis of the District were linked and harmonized with the adopted and relevant national development issues. This is to ensure that there is compatibility between district and national development issues. Table 26: Development Problems/Issues linked to the 2014-2017 GSGDA

2.0.2 POCC Analysis With Key Development Problems The POCC analysis is a tool used to streamline development issues and interventions before they are programmed for implementation. This analysis is important in helping to fine-tune development goals, objectives, policies and strategies. About fourteen development issues of the District have been subjected to this analysis, as indicated in the table below: In this report, Potential, Opportunities, Constraints and Challenges have been defined as follows: Potentials: Potentials are latent strengths or untapped resources in the district, which are capable of being tapped for the district’s development. Example. Availability of bye laws on internal revenue generation. Opportunities: They are positive and development enhancing factors that are external to the district, and on which the district does not have direct control. For example, availability of the DACF and HIPC Funds. Constraints: Constraints are internal factors (within the district) that inhibit or restrict the district’s efforts to unearth and fully utilize its potentials. Example, bad terrain, low communal spirit etc. Challenges: They are negative external factors that inhibit the pursuit of development interventions in the district.

3.2.0 DEVELOPMENT PROJECTION Development projection is an essential tool adopted to forecast the district future needs in terms of population, infrastructure and other basic necessities of life because estimation of future population trends is of immense importance in planning.. An increase in population implies increase in demand for social services, facilities, food security and many others. Projection was therefore made for these social services and infrastructure alongside the population to know the threshold population for the facilities especially in the area of health and education

3.2.1.0 Population projection
Population projection is very cardinal to all planning processes. This is due to the fact that it is both a consequence and determinant of development. It is therefore the catalyst and essence of development. Human resources and needs vary according to the size, composition and distribution of the population. It is for this reason that the population projections for the plan period have been made to facilitate the calculation of services and facilities needed for the plan period.

Taking cognizance of the population figure and the growth rate, the District population as at 2010 Population and Housing Census is 59,411 with a growth rate of 2.5% .The growth rate is the same as both the Regional and National growth rates of 2.5% and 2.5% respectively. This indicates that there will be a rapid increase in the pressure exerted on the existing services and resources in the District if care is not taken. Judging from the table above, the population increase marginally to 60,897 in 2014, 62,419 in 2015, and 63,980 in 2016 and in 2017, it is also projected to be 65,579.
3.2.1.2 Health Projections Health Service delivery in Ghana is organized on hierarchical basis of hospitals, health centers/posts and clinics. For efficient operation of these centers, there is the need for other support services like Doctors, nurses and other paramedics. Health is a very important variable in the development equation. It is therefore essential to project for the health needs of the District in order to identify the current health needs.
32.1.3 Projection for Health Facility In projecting for health facility, the under-listed criteria was used in the classification
Hospital 30,000 people and below Health Centre 10,000 people and below Health Post/Clinic/CHPS 5000 people and below
Based on the above assumptions, the projections for health facilities was made as follows.

From the above table, the District currently lacking one (1) hospital, 2 Health centers and 6 Health Post/Clinic/CHPS by the end of the 2017 plan period to ensure and enhance effective health service delivery to people in the District.
3.3.0 ProjectionsEducation Under education, projection was made for number of teachers that will be required and also classrooms and desks to be provided to enhance quality teaching and learning in Basic Schools in the District. The following standards were taken into consideration during the projection. Under education, projection was made for Teachers to know the demand of these facilities during the plan period. Pupil-Teacher ratio of 33:1 was used to project for the teachers needed.

CHAPTER SIX MONITORING AND EVALUATION
6.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION ARRANGEMENTS
6.1 INTRODUCTION: Monitoring is an instrument that continuously delivers structured information concerning the actual status of the project to all persons involved in the implementation process, including the target group .It is also the strategic action’s implementation helps to ensure that the mitigation measures are carried out, and that no unforeseen impact occur. It is an on-going activity, to provide a continuous oversight on whether a programme is proceeding according to plan. Monitoring is always an internal project activity. On the other hand, evaluation means the analysis of observations made in the course of monitoring the impact and performance of the project, and drawing conclusions with respect to the fulfillment of project objectives. The community itself must do their best to identify these problems and try to help solve them. This is because the outcome of the situation will finally affect the very people within that particular environment.
Achievement of the desired benefits from the District Four-Year Development Plan will depend on how successfully it is co-ordinated and implemented to achieve set objectives.
6.2 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS Various institutional arrangements as given below have to be put in place to promote effective implementation and management of the Plan.
6.3 DISTRICT ASSEMBLY: With the inauguration of the District Assembly, supported by the 1992 constitution and various legislations; the Assembly has the ultimate authority to seek for the necessary approvals and implement the District Development Plan.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 255
6.3.1 Executive Committee The Executive committee should play a leading role to inform Assemblymen about details of the Plan for them to be able to explain it in their electoral areas.
Sub-committees:
It is recommended that the various Sub-Committees are put in place and strengthened especially the following:
i. Development Planning Sub-Committee ii. Social Services Sub-Committee iii. Works Sub-Committee. iv. Justice and Security Sub-Committee v. Finance and Administration Sub-Committee
The Development Planning Sub-Committee in particular should have the right personnel with the knowledge, experience and skills in various aspects of development. This Committee should meet on regular basis to review the development process at each stage. Other Sub-Committee should also be established along such lines.
6.3.2 Departments of the District Assembly It is recommended that the existing decentralized departments are regrouped as soon as possible according to the new set up under the Local Governments Act as described in Chapter 3. They are to be strengthened especially the Central Administration Department. Efforts should be made to attract qualified staff. Other departments which are not present in the District should be established as soon as possible. It is further recommended that heads of department should meet regularly to discuss and co-ordinate their implementation strategies.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 256
6.3.3 Chiefs and Traditional Authorities The Assembly should inform chiefs and traditional authorities including landowners about their roles in implementing the Plan for example in organizing durbars, educating their subjects, releasing lands, soliciting for assistance at various levels etc.
6.3.4 Associations, NGOs and the Private Sector The Executive Committee should co-ordinate the participation of development associations, pressure groups, NGOs and the private sector in implementing the Plan. This is to ensure maximum utilization of their human, financial and material resources.
6.4 APPROVAL OF THE PLAN As required by the Local Government Act 462, 1993; the General Assembly of the Central Tongu District Assembly approved the Plan and should submit through the Regional Co- ordinating Council to the National Development Planning Commission for approval and adoption into the National Development Plan. This will facilitate allocation and release of funds. It will also establish confidence in the Plan by NGOs, international agencies, Ministries, Departments, the private sector etc.
6.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The main strategy for implementing the Plan is to rely on a co-ordinated approach with individuals playing their roles up to expectation. The Executive Committee should always take the initiative and be a step ahead of everybody else on what is to be done. Prioritizations of the proposals, specific implementing agencies and monitoring responsibilities have been shown in the Work Programme.
National and Regional Implementing Agencies Implementing agencies at the National and regional levels should be informed regularly about their commitment to the District. Regular reports on their projects should be sent to them.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 257
6.5.2 District Implementing Agencies The Departments of the District Assembly and various implementing agencies within the District including Town/Area Councils and Unit Development Committees should co-ordinate their strategies and implementation processes on monthly basis under the auspices of the Development Planning Sub-Committee. This Committee should analyze and Co-ordinate all reports to the executive committee who should in turn report to the District Assembly every quarter of the year.
6.6.0 MONITORING AND REVIEW
6.6.1 Monitoring The Executive Committee assisted by the Development Planning Sub-Committee should be the central co-ordinating unit for the monitoring of the Plan. Every aspect of monitoring the Plan should be identified with a sub-committee. The sub- committees should also have organizations or individuals that should be responsible for monitoring implementation as indicated in the Work Programme. Town and Area Councils, development associations, chiefs etc. should take part in monitoring implementation. However directives should always come from the Executive Committee. This means all other monitoring bodies should submit their reports to the Executive Committee for the appropriate action to be taken.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 258
CHAPTER SEVEN COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES
7.1 Introduction The chapter outlines in details the strategy for dissemination of the DMTDP (2014-2017) to all key stakeholders. The communication strategy of the plan is intended to create awareness. It is also to inform all stakeholders about the programmes, sub-programmes and activities that the District intends to implement during the planned period.
Information dissemination is a vital tool for updating or informing stakeholders and the general public on intended, on-going and implemented projects. Thus, communication is very important in the preparation as well as the implementation of the District Medium Term Development Plan 2014-2017. This enables us to interact effectively with every stakeholder in the plan preparation. It also helps stakeholders and beneficiaries to give their inputs in the plan.
7.2.0 Marketing the Plan In order to win support for the Plan, it has to be marketed at various levels for people to know what to expect from the Plan and what is expect from the Plan and what is expected of them towards to implementation.
Various institutions as given below have different expectations from the implementation of the Plan and will require diverse information to meet such expectations.
7.2.1 District Level The objectives, strategies and proposals within the plan should be made known to Assemblymen and officers of various departments. They should in turn educate the public. The next step is the Town and Village Committees who should carry the message further to their people. These could be done through durbars, seminars, non-formal education etc.
Pressure groups in the District such as Chiefs, Youth Associations, market women, NGOs, GPRTU etc should be well informed about their roles and the benefits to the society in general and to them in particular. Aspects of the Plan should be mounted at strategic places for people to comment.
7.2.2 Regional and National Levels It is necessary to market the District Development Plan beyond its borders to serve as means of informing public officials and as means of soliciting for material and financial support. At the Regional and National Levels; Ministers, Heads of Department, Corporations, companies etc whose support are needed have to be well informed about their roles and contributions through special submissions.
CENTRAL TONGU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (MTDP 2014-2017) Page 259
7.2.3 International Level Presentations should be made to international agencies and financiers for their support. The association between the District and Denmark should be strengthened and extended to other countries. Other vital means of relaying/disseminating the 2014-2017 DMTDP as well as the Annual and Quarterly Progress Reports of its implementation would include the following. 1. District Assembly – Community Interfaces 2. Public Hearings 3. Use of Assembly Members 4. Photo Exhibition
7.3.0 ARRANGEMENTS FOR FUNDING
7.3.1 Central Government Sources Funds from the Central Government would be the major source of financing the plan. It is therefore necessary to satisfy conditions necessary for release of funds especially those of the District Assembly Common Fund. Follow-ups should be made to Ministries, Departments Corporations etc. It is expected that an average of about ¢300m would come from various Government sources annually to support the Plan.
7. 3.2 District Sources The District’s revenue base is not healthy to support developments as may be required. However it is believed the potentials are there to improve it. It is necessary for the proposals to be implemented to increase the revenue as anticipated over the Plan period.
It is also recommended that expenditures are reviewed in order to analyses weaknesses in them. This should enable the Assembly to reduce its expenditures.
7.3.3 Other Sources outside the District. As mentioned earlier, the Executive Committee should co-ordinate all irregular funds from various sources outside the District. It is recommended that various organizations such as NGOs, embassies, companies, individuals etc are approached to donate towards development in the District. Specific projects should be prepared and submitted to such bodies for support. These should be well co-ordinated to achieve the desired results.
