EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

One major challenge facing the Obuasi Municipal Assembly since its creation in 1988 as part of the then Adansi West District Assembly (AWDA) and in 2005 as the Obuasi Municipal Assembly (OMA) is the inequitable distribution of programmes and projects among the sixty-two (62) communities which constitute the Municipality.

From 1996 there has been the formulation, adoption and implementation of Medium Term Development Plans (MTDP) all aimed at finding solution to the problem of skewed development.

A review of the OMA’s Medium Term Development Plan for 2010 – 2013 by the MPCU revealed that about 80% of the targets set under the seven thematic areas were achieved

Currently, the focus of government as enshrined in the Medium Term Development Policy Framework is to “address the economic imbalances, re-stabilizing the economy placing it on a path of sustained accelerated growth and poverty reduction towards achieving the Millenniums Development Goals and middle income status”.

In line with its introduction and subsequent adoption, MMDA’s are required to draw four (4) year Medium Term Development Plan 2014 – 2017 adopting strategies within the Medium Term Development Policy Framework thematic area that are appropriate and applicable under OMA’s peculiar circumstances in order to ensure effective implementation with emphasis on sustained accelerated growth and poverty reduction. The thematic areas of the MTDPF 2014 – 2017 are:  Ensuring and sustaining macroeconomic stability  Enhancing competitiveness in Ghana’s private sector.  Accelerated Agricultural modernization and sustainable natural resource management.  Oil and Gas Development  Infrastructure and Human Settlements Development  Human Development, Productivity and Employment  Transparent and Accountable Governance

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 3

In fulfilling this mandate, the OMA constituted a Municipal Plan Preparation Task Force made of members of the Municipal Planning and Co-ordinating Unit (MPCU) which was charged to collaborate with decentralized departments, the private sector, NGOs, CSOs, Assembly members and the traditional authorities to oversee the preparation of the OMA’s MTDP for the period 2014 – 2017. The plan preparation Task Force collaborated with key stakeholders in the municipality to collect data, analyzed the data and proposed plans and formulated strategies based on the MTDPF 2014- 2017.

The municipal data for analysis was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data was obtained from key informant interviews with community leaders held in the communities to elicit responses with respect to their development problems and proposals to address them. Secondary data was obtained from the following sources; i. 2010 – 2013 OMA’s MTDP ii. Monthly, quarterly and annual departmental reports iii. Reports from NGOs and Civil Society Organisations

The data was analyzed by the Plan Preparation Task Force to identify problems and constraints that militate against development and opportunities and potentials identified to be exploited to improve socio-economic development thereby poverty and inequalities.

The current situation of the municipality was assessed with the use of the data gathered as well as fora held with community leaders and coming out with problems followed by the identification and assessment of community needs. Below is a summary of key problems and needs identified by the communities:

The analysis of data, community problems and needs led to the Plan Proposal Stage which involved the coming out of the overall development framework, formulation of goals and objectives, programmes and projects proposals for the plan period. The overall goal of the OMA’s MTDP is: to accelerate growth and development in the municipality. These goals would be achieved with the implementation of progammes and projects under the seven (7) thematic areas of the MTDPF. To ensure the realization of the aspiration of the Medium Term Development Plan 2014 – 2017, the OMA has adopted an integrated development approach taking cognizance of achievements chalked with the implementation of the 2010 – 2013 MTDP. The development goals and objectives of the Municipal Assembly have been outlined and these have been linked with the Millennium Development Goals. Furthermore, goal compatibility matrix was conducted and the municipal development prospects for 2014 – 2017 education, health, water, sanitation and agriculture have been catered for.

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 8

A plan of operation has been designed to ensure coherent implementation of programmes and projects. This includes activities to be undertaken, time scheduled for implementation agencies, their partners, their expected roles, cost, funding agencies and institutions responsible for monitoring and evaluation. The Assembly has developed a monitoring and evaluation programme which seeks to ensure a collaborative process involving different stakeholders at different levels working together with the view to measuring progress of activities against set goals, assess programmes and projects to ensure their positive impact on the intended beneficiaries. The Assembly therefore expect collaboration and participation by stakeholders especially AGA and its allied companies, traditional authorities, Assembly members, decentralized and non- decentralized departments, NGOs and CBOs, youth groups and other identifiable bodies in the quest to achieve the goals set in the OMA’s MTDP for 2014 – 2017.

Comparing the pattern of expenditures to revenues, the expenditures under both IGF and the central government grants were dependent upon the quantum of incomes available, leaving a little margin on the average as surplus.

1.7. KEY PROBLEMS/ ISSUES ENCOUNTERED DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION STAGES Delay in the release of funds slowed the pace of work for about 55 percent of projects Poor linkage between planning and budgeting of proposed activities hampered full implementation. This resulted in some programmes under private sector competitiveness and human resource development thematic areas not implemented at all. Some projects were designed without adequate assessment of the implementing departments’ logistics needs and requirements. An example is the lack of mobility for 60 percent of agric extension agents. The commitment to public awareness and youth development programmes were minimal. For instance sanitation and public-private for were partially implemented as a result of inadequate commitment of its intended beneficiaries. Efforts to link small scale businesses to financial institutions were limited due to unfavourable requirements of financial institutions in the municipality Emergency situations resulted in reallocation of funds to other sector projects not budgeted for. Over estimated targets by some sector departments. For instance the target of increasing Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) to 75% was too high a target to be achieved.

1.8. LESSONS LEARNT WHICH HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE MTDP 2014-2017 Efforts should be made to facilitate public-private participation to provide counterpart funding for projects designed in the plan The Assembly should develop the culture of writing proposals to NGOs, CBOs and donor agencies to provide counterpart funding for projects in their plans. Institutional capacity assessment should be carried out to determine logistic needs of implementing institutions Planning should be strictly linked to budgeting to facilitate the implementation of project activities for full project implementation

1.9 MUNICIPAL PROFILE 1.9 MANDATE OF THE MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY

The Obuasi Municipal Assembly is one of the Thirty (30) Administrative Districts in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The Obuasi Municipal Assembly, which used to be part of the former Adansi West District Assembly, came into being by virtue of the Executive Instrument No. (E.I. 15) of 15th December 2003 and Legislative Instrument (L.I. 1795) of 17th March, 2004.

1.9.1 PHYSICAL AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT 1.9.1.1 LOCATION AND SIZE

The Municipality is located between latitudes 5 º35N and 5 º65N, and longitudes 6º35’W and 6º90’W. It covers a total land area of 162.4 square km. It is located in the Southern part of the Ashanti Region of Ghana 64km and about from Kumasi, the regional capital. There are 62 communities in the municipality with 30 Electoral Areas, and five (5) zonal councils.

The Municipality is bounded on the south by Upper Denkyira District of the Central Region, East by Adansi South, West by Amansie Central, and North by Adansi North and has Obuasi as its capital town

Figure 1.1 Obuasi Municipal in National Context

Figure 1.2: Obuasi in the Regional Context

Figure 1.3: Map of Obuasi Municipality showing settlements

1.9.1.2 CLIMATE The Municipality experiences semi-equatorial climatic conditions with a double maximum rainfall regime. Mean annual rainfall ranges between 125 cm and 175 cm. Temperatures are uniformly high all year with the hottest month being March when 30oC is usually recorded. Mean average annual temperature is 25.5oC. Relative humidity is highest (75% - 80%) in the wet season.

1.9.1.3 VEGETATION

The vegetation is predominantly a degraded semi-deciduous forest. The forest consists of limited species of hard wood, which are harvested as timber. The AngloGold Ashanti has maintained large tracts of teak plantation as green belts covering 12.10km2 within its concession. Also 290 hectares of land has been acquired by the Assembly from AGA to plant economic trees.

Figure 1.4: Vegetation Map of Obuasi

1.9.1.4 RELIEF AND DRAINAGE Generally, the Municipality has an undulating terrain with more of the hills rising above 500 meters above sea level. The highest point is located on the Pompo range at 634 metres near Obuasi. Highland ranges include Dampaia (the most extensive) in the east, Kusa in the north east, Pompo and Sanso near Obuasi. No area falls below 100 metres above sea level.

The Municipality is drained by streams and rivers which include; Pompo, Nyame, Akapori, and Kunka. Other perennial streams and rivers are Subin, Menson, Kwabrafo, Hweaseamo, Kyeabo, Ankafo, Gyimi and Nyam all of which depict dendritic pattern of flow. All these rivers are polluted by mining and other human activities. Again the municipality is endowed with springs which can be tapped as potable drinking water.

Figure 1.5: Forest Reserves in Obuasi

1.9.1.5 GEOLOGY AND MINERAL DEPOSITS

Rocks in the Municipality are mostly of Tarkwain (Pre-cambrian) and Upper Birimian formation which are noted for their rich mineral bearing potentials. Areas around the contacts of the Birimian and Tarkwain zones known as reefs are noted for gold deposits. The Obuasi mine (AngloGold Ashanti) which works on steeply dipping quartz veins over a strike length of 8km. has since 1898 produced over 600 tons (18 million ounces) of gold from ore averaging about 0.65 ounces per ton.

Figure 1.6: Geology Map of Obuasi

1.9.1.6 CONDITION OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Natural resources that can be identified in the municipality include rivers, rocks, forest, sand clay and gold. The rocky hills and out crops in the municipality ranging between 250 and 300 metres above sea level have immense potential for stone quarrying in the local economy. Also the water bodies available can be harnessed for irrigation schemes to aid agricultural production.

The natural environment of the municipality is degraded to some extent. This takes the form of air, water pollution and land degradation due to mining activities and deforestation. Efforts have been made on the part of the Mining companies in reclaiming lands where surface mining took place. Such areas have been planted with economic trees which include Teak and Mahogany. So far about 5600 hectares of degraded land has been reclaimed.

1.9.2 CULTURE

The people exhibit a typical Akan culture. They are very hospitable, and non-violent. They have many cultural practices which ensure unity, good health, protection of the environment and good governance. It is therefore not a mystery that the area is fast growing and developing. Though the people are from diverse ethnic groups, they have become so integrated within the Akan tradition to such an extent that one cannot easily tell who is or not an Akan. The people have a rich culture which helps promote the development of the area. The people are proactive. There is no ethnic conflict or any negative cultural practice amongst the people.

II. Traditional Set-up

The area is under the traditional authority of the King of Ashanti. The area has a Paramount Chief who supervises activities of various sub-chiefs of all the communities. The whole system is therefore a local form of decentralization. Such traditional set-up gives rise to popular participation and smooth development. This also explains the strong communal spirit and absence of conflicts amongst the people.

III. Ethnicity

In terms of ethnicity, the Municipality is cosmopolitan. Every known ethnic group in Ghana is represented. This is as a result of the Mining and other related socio-economic activities going on in the area. Despite this the predominant ethnic group is the Akans.

IV. Participation

The level of participation in the development programmes and projects of the municipality is quite encouraging. This is borne out by the fact that they are consulted and their views incorporated in activities within the various sectors in the municipality.

In addition, the communities frequently organise communal activities and raise funds for projects. They also make their concerns known through the Municipal structure and on local FM programmes. Companies, Business concerns and Property owners pay their taxes regularly;

37 however the Assembly uses its mobile van to implore rate defaulters to pay to avoid persecution at the law court. There is also a vibrant Assembly which deliberate on all issues in the Municipality. In fact one can also assess the level of participation of the people during election of public officers i.e. Unit Committee members, Assembly members, Parliamentarians and Presidential.

V. Implication of Culture characteristics for Development

The culture of the people is an added opportunity to be tapped for the development of the Municipality. For example, the friendly nature of the people could attract investors and tourists into the Municipality as the case is currently.

1.9.3. SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS

1.9.3.1 BUILT ENVIRONMENT The Municipality has a nucleated settlement pattern with limited spaces in between houses. This phenomenon is common in the old settlement areas resulting in narrow roads and streets.

In the urban settlements especially Obuasi, most of the long settled areas are well laid-out with defined access roads and other facilities like drains, open spaces and well-designed housing units. However, some parts of these urban settlements are not well planned and have the characteristics of slum development. Such areas include Mensakrom, Akaporiso and Kunka New Town. With large tract of land in the municipality (162.4km²) about 95.1% concessions owned by Anglogold Ashanti (AGA), access to land for long term agricultural projects is difficult. AGA releases land for prospective developers as and when it deems fit thereby affecting spatial development in the municipality.

1.9.3.2. HIERARCHY OF SETTLEMENTS

I. Implications for Future Interventions/Development

In the Municipality, there are 62 communities but not all the communities are represented on the scalogram; some AGA estates have been excluded having unique characteristics as compared to that of the other communities with similar characteristics. The blank cells on the scalogram matrix imply that in the municipal’s future development, more facilities and services should be provided in communities which are least endowed to ensure a more balanced spatial development.

From the scalogram it is realized that only one (1) community which has access to over 50% of the services available with the remaining 56 communities having accessibility to services less than 50%. This calls for more service to be provided for most of the communities.

1.9.4. GOVERNANCE

The administrative and political structure within the municipality is not different from any other political and administrative structure in the country. The Assembly consists of 55 Assembly Members from 62 communities with the Municipal Chief Executive and the Presiding Member as the Heads of the Assembly. The Municipality consists of Two (2) Constituencies with Two (2) Member of Parliament.

There are Eight (8) sub-committees with different roles and responsibilities. These sub-committees include development planning, works, justice and security, finance and administration, social services, environmental, education and Agricultural. At the moment, there are 78 Unit Committees and one zonal council. There are five (5) Zonal Councils in the Municipality. Again, Traditional Authorities and Community Based /Non-Governmental Organizations play vital roles in the development process of the Municipality.

There are Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO’s) and CBO,s currently working in the Municipality in the areas of Health/HIV/AIDS, Child labour, Education, Water and Sanitation etc. Figure 1.5 shows the Organisational structure of the Municipality

1.9.5. SOCIAL SERVICES 1.9.5.1 EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE The intensity of human resource development of any Municipality is largely depended on the quality of education. This manifests in policies that brings quality and adequacy of educational facilities and infrastructure within the Municipality. In Obuasi Municipal, there are numerous efforts to ensure quality and adequacy of educational infrastructure. Currently, The Municipality has a total number of Four Hundred and Thirty Three ( 433) educational facilities for both private and public comprising one hundred and forty (140) Kindergartens, one hundred and sixty four (164) Primary, one hundred and fourteen (114) Junior High Schools, two (2) Technical/ Vocational and Five (5) Senior High Schools. This is woefully inadequate considering the growing population of the Municipality.

III. Number Of Teachers

With regards to the number of teachers who are trained and those who are not trained, majority of the teachers in the public schools at all levels

are trained teachers. The percentage of teachers who are not trained starts to decline at the higher levels of education in both private and public

schools. Below is the table that details out trained and untrained teachers in the Municipality.

Table1.8. below provides number of teachers in the Municipality

1,391 1,226 165 1,269 190 1079 2,660 1447 1,213 TOTAL Source: Muinicipal Education Directorate, 2014

Data gathered on the table above revealed that the Municipal has a total number of 2,660 teachers in both public and private school of which 1,447 are trained representing 54.4% and 1,213 are untrained representing 45.6%. With regards to public schools the Municipal has a total number of 1,391 teachers of which 88.1% are trained and 11.9% are untrained. The private schools have a total number of 1,269 teachers of which 15% are trained and 85% are untrained. This shows that there are adequate teachers in the Municipality and the issue however has to do

With the contextual distribution of trained teachers in both private and public schools since greater percentage of trained teachers are found in public schools. It is also obvious from the analysis that whereas the public institution (school) has 88.1% trained teachers the private sector has only 15% trained teachers. This situation calls for immediate intervention from the government. This could be in the form of intensive training workshop to abreast these untrained teachers with the vital professional and pedagogical skills required to promote quality teaching and effective learning.

IV. TEACHER- PUPIL RATIO The pupil-teacher ratio gives an indication of the number of pupils that are supposed to be handled by one teacher. The pupil-teacher ratio from the survey is represented in the table below Table 1.8: Pupil-Teacher Ratio at the various Educational Levels LEVELS Pupils Teachers Teacher-Pupil ratio Municipality Standard K G 9248 483 1:19 1:50 Primary 30231 1033 1 :29 1:40 JHS 18879 907 1:21 1:40 SHS 6405 235 1:29 1:35 Source: Muinicipal Education Directorate, 2014

The table above indicates that there would be no pressure on teachers since the number of teachers to pupils is below the national standards; this applies to the Primary, Junior High Schools and Senior High. In all there would be no pressure on the teachers since they are adequate, and this may lead to improvement in teaching and learning reflecting on performance. Also there is the need to put in place motivational mechanisms to get best out the teachers.

V. EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The effectiveness of teaching and learning largely depends on the availability of infrastructure. These infrastructures enhance the convenience of teaching and learning. It includes classrooms, desks, portable water supply, sanitation facilities and others. The Municipal in the previous initiatives has contributed in making these infrastructures available to ensure implementation of educational curriculum at all the levels of education. These efforts intensify as the years go by. Below is the table giving the trend of classroom provision from 2011 t0 2013 in the Municipality Table 1.9 Educational infrastructure

With respect to the table above, there have been increments in classroom provision at all levels of educational facilities in the Municipality. The total number of classroom in the Municipal is 1,018 giving an increment rate of 4% from 2012 to 2013. In term of levels, the classroom of Kindergartens increased from 98 to 102 representing the rate 4.1%, primary increased from 483 to 493 representing the rate of 2.1%, JHS increased from 236 to 268 representing the rate 13.6% and SHS increased from 154 to 155 representing the rate 0.6% from 2012 to 2013. It is obvious that there have been an increment in classroom provision but there is the need to pay attention to classroom provision at all level to meet growing school enrolment in the Municipality.

VI. CLASSROOM PUPIL RATIO IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Efforts in provision of classroom for all the educational level over the years has reduce pressure on the classroom demand in the municipality. The classroom to the pupil is below the standard at all levels of education. This implies that, there is convenience in using the classrooms which enhance effective teaching and learning at all levels of education. Below is the table 1.10 showing classroom to pupil ratio in the Municipality LEVELS Classroom -Pupil ratio Pupils Classroom Municipality Standard K G 3956 102 1: 39 1:50 Primary 15594 493 1:32 1:40 JHS 9088 268 1:34 1:40 SHS 4653 155 1:30 1:35 Source: Muinicipal Education Directorate, 2014

1.9.5.2 HEALTH CARE According to WHO (1992), health can be explained as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health care systems refers to a large variety of interrelated elements that contributes to health at home, workplace and leisure places through the health and other related sectors (Green,2007). Within the Obuasi Municipality there are a number of health facilities both private and public that caters for the health of the people.

I. Health Facilities

The healthy living of the people largely depends on the existence of health facility coupled with quality delivery of services. These facilities provide both preventive and curative services. The Municipality can boast of eighteen (18) number of health facilities located across the length and breadth. Out of these, only four (4) of the health facilities belongs to Government and the rest belongs to private entities. It is obvious that at all levels of the health facility can be found in the Municipality ranging from higher order of services to the least order of services but considering the range of accessibility, the problem has got to do with distribution though some of the facilities is established for certain purposes. This has to be resolved through proper mechanisms to enhance and intensify the Public Private Partnership to ensure easy accessibility especially in the rural communities. The table below shows the vaious types and number of health facilities in the Municipality. Table 1.11 showing the types and number of health facilities in the municipality Type/Number of facility

III. Ten Top Opd Diseases In The Municipality (2013)

From 2010-2013, Malaria top the list of Ten (10) disesases despite preventive measures put in place but the number of the reported cases reduced as the years went by. Other top diseases include Hypertension, ARI, URTI and Rheumatism. Much attentioned should be paid to the eradication of malaria since it has been top of the top ten (10) diseases in the Municipality. Table 1.12 below shows the list of the Top Ten (10) diseases in the Municipality.

IV. HIV/AIDS Knowledge of HIV/AIDS is high, except that it has not been translated into positive Behaviourial change. People still engage in high risk sexual behavior. However, the practice of high risk sexual behaviour still remains high with low condom use and multiple sexual partners. Indeed there is a big gap between knowledge on HIV/AIDS and its effects and the people’s readiness to change their negative lifestyles. Behaviourial change takes a long time to effect. It is a difficult and a gradual process achieved through vigorous and a sustained education over a long period of time Obuasi Municipality still have a challenge in terms the spread of the disease considering measures put in place in the previous years to address the situation. This therefore calls for intensified and concerted effort by all stakeholders in the provision of education through regular durbars to demystify the condition. Awareness creation should be carried out amongst herbalists, bone setters and spiritualists on the disease.

1.9.5.3 MARKET AND BANKING SERVICES

The Municipality has one major market located in Obuasi Central and seven (7) satellite markets serving the local people and other districts. Most of these facilities are located around the Eastern part of the Municipality and they are highly accessible to most of the communities except a few which are challenged with transportation due to the bad nature of roads. Some of the communities are Mampamhwe, Mammiriwa No.1and 2, Ayease, Nyanferase and other rural communities.

In addition to market centres available, there exist financial institutions to support economic activities in the municipality. There are seven (7) commercial banks, three (3) rural banks and four (4) micro finance institutions which provide variety of services to all categories of people; but most these institutions are concentrated in around Obuasi Central. Figures 9(a) and 10(b) depicts the location and the accessibility levels of market and banking services.

Figure 9: Map Showing the Location of Markets and Banks

Figure 10: Map Showing Accessibility to Markets and Banks

1.9.5.4 EMPLOYMENT The municipal Assembly through the implementation of projects also offer some form of employment to the local populace. The contractors engaged on the UDG as well as the DDF projects employ artisans both male and female to execute their contracts. In area of skilled labour, the male normally dominates the females whiles in the area of unskilled labour in the construction industry the females dominates the males.

1.9.5.5 YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Policy measures for addressing the concerns of youth development include mainstreaming youth development into the national development policy framework; ensuring the implementation of the recently formulated youth policy; equipping the youth with employable skills; and introducing new initiatives for youth development. In the implementation of the policy, appropriate education and training schemes would be emphasized to enable young people obtain meaningful employment either as technicians, entrepreneurs, professionals and skilled craftsmen,

1.9.6 MUNICIPAL ECONOMY

1.9.6.1 THE STRUCTURE OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY

In the Municipality, the Service and Commerce sector take the lead in terms of employment. This is followed by Mining/Industry and lastly, Agriculture.

The service sector which includes transport, telecommunication, banking, insurance, finance, trading and mining support activities engages about 40% of the working population while Mining/Industry employs about 35% and Agriculture engaging 25%.

1.9.6.2 AGRICULTURE Agriculture and its related activities, ranks third in the order of economic activities in the Obuasi Municipality employing about 25% of the working population. Agriculture is predominantly on small basis in the Municipality. About 90% of farm holdings are less than 2 hectares in size, although there are some large farms and plantations, particularly for citrus, oil palm and cocoa and

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 66 to lesser extent maize, cassava, vegetables and pineapple. Major tree cash crops cultivated are cocoa, citrus, oil palm and teak. Major food crops grown are cassava, maize, yam, rice and cocoyam. Vegetables like pepper, tomatoes, okra, cabbage and legumes like farmers in the municipality cultivate cowpea and groundnuts. Livestock production, especially pig farming, is fast gaining acceptance in the municipality. Other animals reared are sheep, goats and cattle.

I. AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL OF THE MUNICIPALITY

Topography-wise the Municipality can be demarcated into 3 agro-ecological zones for each of which specific agric-programmes could be prescribed.

ZONE ONE

The Hills/ranges that stretch across the North-East and the South of the Municipality are erosion prone terrains could be protected with economic woodlots and put under apiculture (Bee-Keeping). These two ventures wouldn’t require frequent visits to the steep sloped.

ZONE TWO

The well drained upper slopes/peaks of the widely undulating terrain are most suitable for the cultivation of economic tree crops namely cocoa, coffee, oil palm, citrus as well as staple foods such as plantain, banana, cassava, yams, vegetables, pineapple, cocoyam, maize, seed production, crop trials, etc.

ZONE THREE

Flood-prone valley bottom interacting with the undulating terrain of zone two would be most appropriate for the cultivation of rice, taro, sugar cane, development of agriculture (fish ponds) farming.

II. POTENTIALS FOR LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY

Given the relatively high per capita income of the Obuasi populace and the Municipality’s proximity to commercial towns of Kumasi, Dunkwa, Fosu, Cape Coast, vast markets for meat and

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 67 poultry products pertain within the Municipality and its immediate environs that needs to be exploited at all cost.

Any massive investments in the two industries namely meat and poultary within the Municipality would be a step in the right direction.

Major setback in the industry is the scarcity of maize during the lean months (February – July). A possible solution could be the stocking of maize during the peak season in silos.

III. GRASS-CUTTER REARING With the abundance of grasses in vast open spaces by road sides, besides several water bodies in the Municipality, Grass-cutter rearing should be one non-traditional agricultural enterprise that should be accorded the highest priority in the Municipal agric development programme.

IV. SNAIL REARING

The Municipal is on record as having one of the highest rainfall regimes in the entire Ashanti region. This provide an almost all the year humidity level congenial for snail rearing. Various leafy vegetables – kontomire, cassava pawpaw leaves, pawpaw fruits ‘alaifu’ and many staples foods suitable for snail feeding to support intensive snail rearing programmes.

V. FISH PONDS

Aquaculture continues to be gain the interest of most farmers. The industry has increased from 5 fish ponds in 2000 to 45 fish ponds 2009 being managed by 35 fish farmers. This was as a result of the interest shown by the youth under the Community Based Rural Development Project (CBRDP) to go into fish farming. Fifteen (15) unemployed youth were trained and given substantial financial support by CBRDP to establish fish farms.

VI. FOOD SECURITY

Although Obuasi is noted for its mining activities, agricultural production in the rural communities is encouraging and through the effort of MOFA and other stakeholders over the period 2010-2013 Obuasi can boast of sufficiency in food supply especially cassava, plantain, cocoyam, maize and vegetables However a few food stuff such as rice, cowpea, yams are imported to supplement local sources due to their high demand.

Effort in crop production over the years has seen significant improvement in the municipality. The table above depicts the crops production level and their annual increase rate from 2011 to 2013. From the table, there has been an increased in the various crops that are produce in the Municipality with an annual average increase rate of 3.9%. Even though, there is an increment but in other to ensure food security in the municipality there the need to put measure in place to address all challenging issues in the sector

The table above indicates the area under cultivation, taking into consideration the various crops that are produced in the municipality. There has been an increased in the land size for cultivation of all kinds of crops in the Municipality. From the table, the total area under cultivation increased from 3,736 hectres to 3,838 hectres from 2012 to 2013 giving an annual average increase of 3.4%. This to some extent creates an impression that giving the needed support to farmers in the Municipality their commitment toward production of crops through intensive farming activities would be enhanced.

VIII. CASH CROP PRODUCTION

Cash crops like oil palm, citrus, cocoa have seen a growth rate from 6% in 2010 – 10% in 2013.

Table: 1.14 Major Crops and Production levels 2013

It is therefore necessary for government to continuously support the programme to improve cocoa production in the municipality.

IX. EXTENSION SERVICES ACTIVITIES IN THE MUNICIPALITY

Technological transfer were mainly done through home/farm visits, contact farmers, groups, demonstrations, field days and fora prominent among innovations transfer to farmers were weed control, using weedicide, control of black sikatoga on plantain using cultural practices, raw

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 70 planting, use of improved varieties ie obatanpa maize, rapid yam and plantain multiplication fertilizer application and pest and diseases control.

 Inadequate or no access to land  Inadequate funding for agricultural activities  Fluctuation of prices of farm produce  Ineffective Farmers’ Associations  High prices of inputs and labour  Lack of storage facilities  Inadequate or no access to Agricultural extension service

1.9.6.3 MINING AND OTHER INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES Mining and its related activities is the mainstay of the Municipal economy. The municipality is rich in gold and the mining industry is operated by Anglo-Gold Ashanti. The sector used to have a workforce of 22,000 in the early 1990s has now reduced to 4500 due to restructuring and retrenchment exercise currently going on. Some of the other major industrial activities in the municipality are forest/wood based and related industries, blacksmithing and metal based industries, construction and quarrying based industries, mining and allied industries and agro- based industries. Blacksmithing and metal-based industries have sprung up in the municipality. Used metal scraps from the AngloGold Ashanti are salvaged by scrap dealers for the manufacturing of farm implements and equipment.

Agro-based industries notably oil palm and palm kernel extraction and gari processing ventures can also be found in the municipality.

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 71

1.9.6.4 COMMERCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES The sector which falls into the informal sector employs about 40% of the working population in the Municipality. A broad spectrum of economic and financial services exists in the municipality to facilitate business activities. There are seven (7) reputable financial institutions, six (6) insurance companies and three (3) credit institutions operating in the municipality.

1.9.7 VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS Vulnerability defined as the probability of livelihood stress occurring in four main components. These are risk, exposure, response, and outcome. Risk is the probability of an event happening. Exposure includes the value of assets at risk and what will be lost if uncertain event occurs. Response is normally the function of decisions taken by households, institutions and civil society. Outcome is the result of impact of the shock which is usually the result of the interplay of risk, exposure, and response. In Obuasi Municipality, the identified vulnerable groups are children from low income and broken homes, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWA), rural, poor subsistence farmers and their dependents, persons with disabilities (PWD’S), the elderly and children engaged in labour. The Assembly with the help of central government has come up with programmes and projects to address the problem of vulnerability and exclusion. The programme involves the following:

 Leap programme for the elderly, orphans and their caretakers  National health insurance scheme  Support to people living with HIV/AIDS  Child labour project  School feeding programme  Scholarship schemes for brilliant but needy children  Support to physically challenge

1.9.8 GENDER PROFILE

The Gender Profile has been prepared primarily to focus on how the municipal Assembly can optimize benefits from its human resources through the creation of a level playing field for the sexes to contribute to the development of the municipal area. It is also to help the municipal Assembly to achieve a number of purposes including the following;

To formulate policies through evidence based information and to demonstrate how the policies are achieving the gender expected effects, outcomes and are positively transforming the lives of beneficiaries. Provide stakeholders and assembly authorities, development partners and government with systematic means of gender appreciation. Improve service delivery and to influence resource allocation

1.9.8.1 GENDER AND POPULATION

The development focus of the medium term development policy framework (2012-2013) is primarily to reduce poverty enhance human resource development, microeconomic stability and growth. This puts the human and work force development at the centre of assembly’s development agenda. The analysis of the demographic characteristics of Obuasi Municipal Assembly therefore has obvious implications for the formulation of programmes to meet the natural agenda .according to 2010 population and housing census , the total population of the municipality is 168 ,641 with males constituting 48% and females 52%.the largest percentage of the population lies within the age group 15-64 constituting 61percent of the population followed by 0-14 year group within 36.6% and the largest being the 65 and above with 2.6%. The urban share of the Municipality’s population is 85.2 percent while that of the rural is 14.8 percent. The age dependency ratio of the urban population is 61.2 while that of the rural is 81.1. This means that for every 100 working persons in the urban areas there are 61 dependents on them and in the rural areas every 100 working persons there are 81 persons depending on them.

The sex ratio for the entire Municipal is 92.5 which mean for every 100 females there are 93 males. At birth there are more males than female (100.5 males to 100 females).

I. Fertility Women of the reproductive age group (15-49 years) are 48,834 constituting about 29.0 percent of the population. The total fertility rate in the Municipality is 2.7.The general fertility rate is 76.7, and the Crude Birth rate is 22.2.The Municipality also recorded 3,745 live births in the last 12 months before the 2010 census. The female population 12 years and older is 63,504

1.9.9 ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATIC CHANGE AND GREEN ECONOMY The incidence of climate change in the country manifesting in sudden changes in weather pattern, erratic rainfall among others with their adverse effect give cause for concern and measures should be put in place to mitigate the harmful effects. The haphazard construction of houses especially on water ways and wetlands/flood prone areas, deforestation, improper layouts, excessive emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere illegal mining activites that has polluted many rivers like the Pompo and Jimi are among the numerous factors that have worsened the situation Due to all these the Municipal Assembly has outlined the following measures to address the situation;  To consider environmental impact on all human and development activities before embarking on them.  To continually educate the public on climate change and its impact on development

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 75

 To adopt measures to control bushfires  Enforce building control regulations  To encourage irrigation farming  To enforce environmental sanitation standards  Tree planting and land scrapping to be encourage on all our construction sites where appropriate.  To teach climate change as a subject in our schools  To enforce the conservation of our wetlands.  To check deforestation and illegal mining.  To plant trees along river banks

1.9.10 DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

1.9.10.1 POPULATION

Population refers to the number of people living in a geographical area over a period of time. An increase in population is caused by low death rate, high birth rate, and migration. A decrease in the population is also caused by low birth rate, high death rate, and so on. From the 2010 population census, Obuasi’s population stood at 168,641, with an inter-censual growth rate of about 1.9%. The males constitute 48% whilst the females also constitute 52%. The sex ratio for this population is therefore 92.5.

1.9.10.2 POPULATION DENSITY

The population density based on the land surface of 162.4km² was 1038.4 persons per square km in 2010. This really puts a lot of pressure on socio-economic facilities and land for both housing and other economic activities.

Approximately four (4) houses are built on every acre. The implication for physical planning is that the Municipality has already exhausted the required or ideal Housing Density of four (4) per acre.

Invariably, the heart of the Municipality is a built–up area and if further development is not directed at the peripherals it may pose security and environmental threat to a lot of people.

I. Household Sizes and Characteristics

The total number of households in the Municipality is 165,052 with male constituting 47.9 percent and female 52.1 percent. The total household heads are 41,312 constituting 25 percent of the household population in the Municipality. Of this number the male headed households constitute 34 percent and female heads 16.8 percent of the household population. Children constitute the

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 81 largest percentage of the household population forming 44.4 percent. Thus at least 4 in 10 household members are children. The least group is the son/daughter in-laws who constitute 0.3 percent of household members. The nuclear family population which is the highest is 33.6 percent of the household population while single parent nuclear population forms 12.5 percent. Single parent Extended and non relative is the least with 1.2 percent of the household population.

II. Religious Composition

Three main religious groupings can be found in the Municipality, namely Christianity, Islam and Traditional. 81.7% of the people in the Obuasi Municipality professes adherence to the Christian faith. Moslems form only 13.3% of the population and the traditionalist are the least with 0.2 percent. Persons who profess to have no religion are 4.1 percent of the total population. Among the Christians the Pentecostals have the highest following with 33.2 percent, followed by the Protestants who constitute approximately one-fifth (19.7%) of the population and the least is catholic with 14.0 percent. Apart from Islam and Traditional Religion where the males outnumber the females, in Christianity it is the reverse situation.

III. Labour Force/Dependency Ratio

In the Obuasi Municipal Assembly about 63.7% of the population are in the economically active labour force (107,374), whilst 36.3% are classified as inactive. A little over 90% of the economically active population are employed while about 10% are unemployed. The 10% raises concern for the Municipality as it is far greater than the national rate of 5.3%.

This further raises the level of economic dependency (1:6) which has a negative impact on the local economic development. The effect of this is the break of social cohesion and support for the family since the little income earned is not able to support nuclear family let alone the extended family. Within the planned period therefore measures like improving Agriculture and Service Sectors would be taken to address the problem of unemployment and underemployment.

IV. Occupational Distribution

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 82

Among the major occupational groups, the service and sales sector employs nearly one-third, which is the highest, of the employed. This is followed by the plant and machine operators and assemblers with 19.3 percent and the least is other occupations with 0.0 percent. The percentage of females 50.8 percent who are sales and service workers is nearly four times that of the males (12.4%) in the same sector. Approximately 3 in 100 (2.8%) females are managers while 2 in 100 males are managers. This shows females in Obuasi Municipality are competing favourably for managerial status with the men. Their dominance in the informal sector might have accounted for this

V. Implication of Population Characteristics for Development

The Obuasi Municipality population characteristic, to a large extent influences the extent to which social and economic infrastructure in Municipal economy could be provided. The increase in the size of the population creates a social burden to service providers such as the Municipal Assembly, NGOs, CBOs, FBOs to channel their scarce resource to the provision of infrastructure such as schools, expansion of health infrastructure and recreational centres which will support the youth and the children.

Again, the need to adopt policies to create wealth and job opportunities for the unemployed and the underemployed youth must be tackled with all seriousness it deserves. Furthermore as the aged population increases there is the need to come out with policies geared towards the improvement in the lives of the aged. Government policies such as exemption packages for the aged in the premium payment of the health insurance scheme support as care for the aged should be vigorously implemented.

In the case of the women, the maternal delivery exemption package in the health sector would go a long way to improve the maternal health which is one of the Millennium Development Goals which Ghana is investing towards its achievement by 2015.

Furthermore, population density and migration pattern will affect access and provision of housing in the Municipality. There is therefore the need to encourage the use of local materials in the

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 83 housing industry as well as enhance people’s access to facilities such as potable water, electricity, telecommunication facilities in the Municipality.

About 18% of the populace get their source of livelihood from illegal mining activities which basically due to the relatively high youth unemployment (64%).

1.9.11 SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION (STI)

ICT infrastructure is generally located in the urban areas of the Municipality. Obuasi alone has over 30 private internet facility centres. The Municipality also enjoys the services of all the communication service providers in Ghana (MTN, TIGO, VODAFONE, GLO, ESPRESSO and AIRTEL). Incidentally, Obuasi hosts most of the offices of these providers. This implies that access to information communication facilities, particularly in urban areas is high hence the need to extend and improve the ICT situation in the peripheral communities.

1.9.12 SECURITY

There three (3) police stations within the municipality namely; the Central Police Station, Tutuka Police Station and the Railway Police Station. The Ghana Police Service is also supported by the Urban Guards and other private security agencies which operate within some organizations and institutions.

Also, there are two (2) fire stations; one belonging to AGA and the other Ghana Fire Service. However, accessibility to this service is inadequate in that the Ghana National Fire Service has inadequate logistics to operate efficiently.

1.9.13 DISASTER

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 84

The Municipality is a disaster prone area due to the mining activities. This is mainly caused by illegal mining activities. Most casualties are suffered by the illegal miners who are sometimes trapped in holes they have dug during their mining activities. There are limited cases of disaster caused by rain storms and flooding in the Municipality.

I. Impact of Human Activities including Farming and Bush Fires.

The major activity that has impacted negatively mostly on land in the Municipality is mining. This has resulted in the loss of primary forest, creation of manholes and the littering of the environment with scrap metals. Agriculture on the other hand has suffered a down turn due to loss of cultivable land to Mining

1.9.14 WATER SECURITY A cursory look at the map of the municipality reveals that the municipality abounds in water sources with streams, rivers and ponds in most parts of the municipality. However these water sources are heavily polluted by the mining activities of AngloGold Ashanti and illegal miners popularly called galamsey.

This situation is further compounded by human activities like sand winning, indiscriminate defecation into rivers and streams. The non-availability of dumping sites in some communities has resulted in the use of some of these water bodies as dumping sites.

A number of interventions have been implemented in the Municipality and this has improved upon access to potable water supply.

1.9.15 SANITATION I. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

In its efforts to ensure an effective waste management in the Municipality, the OMA adopted Government’s policy of making private sector the engine of growth and in the spirit of public private partnership, the Assembly ceded part of its waste management functions in the Central Business Area to Messrs Zoomlion Ghana Limited.

II. CENTRAL REFUSE COLLECTION There are seven (7) designated central solid waste collection points with twenty-two (22) twelve metre cube (12m3) skips and two (2) skip loaders in use for refuse evacuation to the final disposal site. Zoomlion Company Limited is responsible.

III. LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL

There are seventy (70) public toilet facilities in the Municipality. About forty (40) percent of houses in the Municipality have access to domestic private toilets and sixty (60) percent without especially those communities at the periphery.

People without access to domestic private toilet facilities rely on the public toilets.

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 87

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 88

1.9.16 MIGRATION

Migration is a critical factor of population growth in the Municipality. The urban nature of the Municipality and the vibrant mining activity with its related industries including trading has continued to attract people from all walks of life into the Municipality.

Nearly 99% of the populace are normal residents and 1% are non-residents including expatriates. This means that 1 in 100 persons come in to stay for some time or transact business and leave the Municipality. Such migrants come to the Municipality with the objective of engaging in one or two of the following activities:

Galamsey (illegal mining activities) Learn a trade Trading Establish small scale industries The trend is expected to continue due the intensification of activities of illegal miners who have even extended their activities to the underground mines. The improvement of socio-economic infrastructure and the implementation of skills training programme by the Assembly with support from the central government and donor agencies will attract more youth to the municipality.

1.9.17 COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT

As part of authenticating community needs assessment, participatory approach was adopted to interact with all the communities in the Municipality to identify their developmental issues respectively. Preference ranking method was used to rank the various developmental issues by the communities to identify their most pressing need.

Below is the table 1.21 showing the prioritized needs of the communities in the Municipality

3.4 DEVELOPMENT PROJECTIONS FOR 2014-2017

Giving knowledge in development projection helps in facilitating decision to meet the current and future needs of the people. This informed development intervention required by the Municipality from 2014 to 2017 giving planning standards to improve standard of living. This section of the plan seeks to detail out the population projection and needs assessment throughout the plan period in order to ensure that the needs of the growing population is met in the Municipality.

3.4.1 APPLIED METHODS AND JUSTIFICATION

Considering the data available, the ratio method and the exponential under the mathematical method was employed. The use of ratio method was necessitated by the availability of data on various sub- areas of the population. The use was paramount because it did not require the growth rate of the sectors over the years.

Use was made of the Mathematical (Exponential) Method due to the availability of the growth rate to determine the size of the population. As a result, it is considered as the most appropriate.

rt Pt= Poe where;

Pt is the projected population

Po is the base year population e is a constant error margin of 2.718282 r is the growth rate t is the time period or duration

3.4.2 POPULATION PROJECTIONS The population projection of the Municipality is largely depending on three main demographic variables, namely; fertility rate, mortality rate and migration rate. In order to get accurate population projection, there is the need for good assumption to be crafted taking into consideration the variables provided. The assumption made under demographic projections is that, the intercensal growth rate 2.1% remains constant over the planned period.

3.4.3 AGRICULTURAL PROJECTIONS The projected productions levels of major crops and area under cultivation in the Municipality are given in tables below. In the case of Obuasi Municipality, as part of profiling it was identified that, the annual average increase rate of 3.9% and 3.4% in crop production and area under cultivation respectively. The projections were made taking into account the fact that there will be adequate and efficient extension services to farmers, access to credit facilities and subsidies for farmers, application of proper farming practices, and improvement in the transportation network among other factors over the planned period The assumptions for these projections are outlined as; That considering the trend analysis of crop production from 2011 to 2013 there would be annual average increase 3.9% and would be constant throughout the plan period.

That considering the trend analysis of area under cultivation from 2011 to 2013 there would be annual average increase 3.4% and would be constant throughout the plan period

Based on the above assumptions, some computed values have been arrived at, depicting the crop production and area under cultivation from 2013to 20117, as tabular below.

3.4.4 EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS Employment and unemployment are very important factors to consider in the assessment of the level of development in the Municipality. These to some extent help in identification of indicators use in measuring human development and poverty levels. The employment and unemployment levels give rise to the familiar term; economic dependency ratio, which shows a relative estimation of the economic burden of households, families, government budgets and the economy at large.

The working assumptions for these projections are outlined as;

That the working population age group (15-64) will increase at a constant rate of 0.04

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 138

That without any economic intervention, the unemployment rate remains 0.099

Based on the above assumptions, some computed values have been arrived at, depicting the employed and unemployed population of Obuasi Municipality from 2013 to 2017, as tabular below.

3.4.5 PROJECTIONS ON EDUCATION Education is an integral part of human development. It forms the core force to knowledge and skills acquisition. Education forms the foundation for developing employable skills and the elimination of ignorance and illiteracy. Formal education is known to have a definite structure. It extends from the basic school level to tertiary schools and beyond.

In order to have some authentic basis for the assessment of educational needs, projections have been made on the enrolment levels. Projection of Public School Enrolment Level Pre-school, Primary School, and SHS

Assumption

That the enrolment rate of 2.5 % at the pre-school, primary, JHS and SHS will not have significant changes during the plan period and therefore will be held constant.

3.4.6 NEEDS ASSESSMENT Needs assessment is a tool for program planning. Following the projection made the diversity of needs of the people of Obuasi Municipal calls for appropriate assessment and prevention-oriented programmes in the District. The needs stand for the majority of responses given by the populace since, planning has as its topmost priority to improve the well-being of a people, it is incumbent on the group to do proper needs assessment and hence make proposals to meet their needs.

I. ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS The major environmental need of Obuasi Municipality is embedded in both natural and artificial activities organizations been carried out. In Obuasi Municipality there periodically illegal mining activities that causes soil erosion and other environmental hazards. There is also soil erosion that is caused naturally and this can be seen in several parts of the Municipality, especially along the major roads. Other parts of the built environment has also been eroded causing exposed foundations, stagnant water (serving as the breeding grounds of mosquitoes), among others. To avert the situation and reduce the impact of erosion the following should be considered as needs:

Construction of organized drains along roads.

Filling eroded areas and growing of cover grasses.

Enforcement of by-laws

Avoiding improper discharging of household liquid waste.

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 Page 140

Needs Assessment on Transportation (Road) Transportation network is the backbone of every economy. It provides a strategic support service that should be developed to facilitate improved productivity in agricultural and agro- based industries. Hence, improving the overall road surface condition of Obuasi Municipality and ensuring its maintenance are key in this process of needs assessment. This would also lengthen vehicle life and reduce transportation cost in the Municipality. It also enhances easy accessibility of social services. Therefore, there is the need to improve on the road condition in the Municipality. That within the plan period, there following activities have to implemented

Construction of transportation network Construct of major bridges along the roads in the municipality The condition of feeder roads are improved Construction speed rumps Giving the necessary road markings. II. NEEDS ASSESSMENT ON ENERGY

Energy is the very critical to obtain buoyant economy. It is one sector that command trickle- down effect on all the other sector of the economy. Though Obuasi Municipality is almost covering its scope in terms of energy but there are few communities that have to be connected to the national grid to give life for local industries throughout the plan period. There are also tendencies of growing in the residential coverage in the Municipality which will require extension in the energy.

That within the plan period, there following activities have to implemented

Extension of electricity Connect 3No communities to national grid

Needs Assessment on Teachers in Public Basic Schools Table below gives the analysis of demand for teachers in basic schools in the district over the planned period 2014-2017. Table 3.7: Estimated demand for teachers for public basic schools (2013-2017) Year Pre-School Primary School JHS

This implies that throughout the plan period there is no need for additional teachers to be posted into the Municipality but the emphasis would place on the fact that there is the need to motivate and also construct bungalows for teachers, especially in the rural communities. Demand for Teachers in Public SHS The analysis in table below indicates that there will be one (1) additional demand for teacher in public Senior High Schools within the planned period 2013-2017.

Thus, all other things being equal, there will be no need for additional classroom blocks at the basic schools in the Municipality throughout the plan period 2014-2017 as the analysis indicates surplus in the existing of classroom. The problem however has to do with the quality and geographical distribution. Most of the classrooms, especially at the pre-school level are located in Obuasi. Although there are surplus in the existing classroom but there are communities that require classroom blocks to begin operation of some levels of the education. This means that classroom blocks would be constructed in following communities, Kunka East, Odumasi, Anikorkor, Ahansonyewodea, Jimiso, Diawuo, Ayiase, Baakoyeden, New Dokyiwa, Wawaase, Asonkore, Nhyiaso, Adaase, Binsere, Odumasi and Anyimadukrom.

CHAPTER FOUR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

4.1 Introduction

Implementation is the translation of broad policy goals and objectives into visible results in the form of specific projects or programmes of action. Development planning is a means of directing the process of societal change to yield results that developers envisage. This means that plan preparation is of no importance unless efforts are made to transform the status quo into the future that we envisage. The planned projects and programmes are grouped with respect to their respective thematic areas of the National Development Policy Framework (NDPF) and the Municipal Medium Term Development Plan (MMTDP) 2014-2017.

CHAPTER SIX MONITORING AND EVALUATION ARRANGEMENTS 6.1 Introduction This chapter outlines Monitoring and Evaluation arrangements. This is to ensure a result based check and assessment of activities detailed out in the plan. The M&E plan is therefore to assess the following:  The extent to which development targets are being met.

 Identify achievement, constraints and failures and design measures for better impact.

 Provide information for effective co-ordination at the Municipal as well as the Regional level.

 Provide a platform for all stakeholders to be actively included in the development process.

 Improve service delivery and influence allocation of resource and show results as part of Accountability and Transparency.

CHAPTER SEVEN COMMUNICATION STRATEGY

7.1 Introduction In order to create awareness of the developmental activities in our Medium Term Development Plan, Communication is the key. We have therefore put the following in place to help disseminate and receive feedback on our planned activities.

7.2 Dissemination of Annual Progress Reports on the MTDP The following approach will be adopted to disseminate the information i. To distribute an abridged version of the reports to all Assembly Members, Urban/ Town/Area Councils, unit Committee Members, CBOs and other key stakeholders in the Municipality. ii. Organise Focus Group Discussions of the reports at the Urban/Town/Area Council Areas. iii. Organise Video Shows on development activities in communities iv. Putting our reports on our website

7.3 Creation of Awareness on the Expected Role of Stakeholders The awareness creation will be done through this means: Meeting with our stakeholders (such as Assembly Members , Urban/Town/ Area Councils members, Unit Committees NGOs, CBOs, Traditional Leaders Servers providers, Entrepreneurs etc) to discuss roles and responsibilities of stakeholders.

7.4 Promotion of Dialogue and Generation of Feedback on our performance Dialogue for the generation of feedback on our performance will help strengthen up our activities. To achieve this we will organise frequent interaction between the Assembly and the communities at different locations.

OMA MTDP 2014-2017 277

7.5 Promotion of Access and Management of Expectations of the Public The Municipality will adopt the following measures to promote access and manage the expectations of the public. Client Services / Public Desk will be created in the three Urban/Town/Area Councils (as we have at the Municipal Assembly) for the public to have easy access to information and also submit concerns.

7.6 Conclusion The realisation of the overall goal of the 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan requires concerted efforts by all stakeholders to mobilise explicit support, resources and commitment. This calls for active collaborative efforts of all Traditional Authorities, Opinion leaders, Assembly members, Development Partners and others.

It is also envisaged that full implementation of the GSGDA, (2010-2013) could be guaranteed, as long as, the procedural approaches, projects, monitoring and evaluation framework and communication strategies outlined in the plan are vigorously embarked upon.
