  • African Shads, with Emphasis on the West African Shad Ethmalosa Fimbriata
    American Fisheries Society Symposium 35:27-48, 2003 © 2003 by the American Fisheries Society African Shads, with Emphasis on the West African Shad Ethmalosa fimbriata EMMANUEL CHARLES-DOMINIQUE1 AND JEAN-JACQUES ALBARET Institut de Recherche pour le Deoeioppement, 213 rue Lafayette, 75480, Paris Cedex 10, France Abstract.-Four shad species are found in Africa: twaite shad Alosa fallax and allis shad A. alosa (also known as allice shad), whose populations in North Africa can be regarded as relics; West African shad Ethmalosa [imbriata (also known as bonga), an abundant tropical West African species; and kelee shad Hi/sa kelee, a very widely distributed species present from East Africa to the Western Pacific. Ethmalosa fimbriata has been the most studied species in this area. The concentrations of E. fimbriata are found only in estuarine waters of three types: inland, coastal, and lagoon estuaries. The species is rare in other habitats. Distribution thus appears fragmented, with possible exchanges between adjacent areas. In all populations, juveniles, subadults, and mature adults have different habitat preferences. These groups are distinguished by local people and can be considered as ecophases. The older group has a preference for the marine environment, and the intermediate one is more adapted to estuaries, with a large plasticity within its reproductive features. Information regarding population dynamics is poorly documented, but the populations appear generally resilient except when the estuarine environment deteriorates. West African shad has been exploited for many years and carries great cultural value for the coastal people of West Africa. The catches are marketed cured in the coastal zone, sometimes far from the fishing areas.

  • Jubilee Field Draft EIA Chapter 4 6 Aug 09.Pdf
    4 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASELINE 4.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides a description of the current environmental and socio- economic situation against which the potential impacts of the Jubilee Field Phase 1 development can be assessed and future changes monitored. The chapter presents an overview of the aspects of the environment relating to the surrounding area in which the Jubilee Field Phase 1 development will take place and which may be directly or indirectly affected by the proposed project. This includes the Jubilee Unit Area, the Ghana marine environment at a wider scale and the six districts of the Western Region bordering the marine environment. The Jubilee Unit Area and its regional setting are shown in Figure 4.1. The project area is approximately 132 km west-southwest of the city of Takoradi, 60 km from the nearest shoreline of Ghana, and 75 km from the nearest shoreline of Côte d’Ivoire. Figure 4.1 Project Location and Regional Setting ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT TULLOW GHANA LIMITED 4-1 The baseline description draws on a number of primary and secondary data sources. Primary data sources include recent hydrographic studies undertaken as part of the exploration well drilling programme in the Jubilee field area, as well as an Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) which was commissioned by Tullow and undertaken by TDI Brooks (2008). An electronic copy of the EBS is attached to this EIS. It is noted that information on the offshore distribution and ecology of marine mammals, turtles and offshore pelagic fish is more limited due to limited historic research in offshore areas.

  • Migrant Health Care Practices: the Perspectives of Women Head Porters in Kumasi, Ghana

Drawing on the stories of women head porters, via the application of the principles of feminist standpoint theory, I explore women porters’ experiences as deeply embedded in social and power struggles that women did not create, but yet find binding on their lives. Women porters discuss financial struggles, negative encounters with health staff, and the hurdles of dealing with the power that men exert over their decisions and actions as barriers that limit their access and utilization of health services.

  • 2020 Sdgs Budget Report Contents
    Ghana’s 2020 SDGs Budget Report Contents Minister’s Foreword 03 Introduction 04 Methodology 05 Policy Initiatives 16 Goal Funding 17 Conclusion 71 Bibliography 72 73 Endnotes SDGs Budget Report 2020 - 01 SDGs Budget Report 2020 - 01 Minister’s Foreword I am pleased to present the 2020 SDGs Budget Report which provides an overview of the government of Ghana’s resource allocation towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during the 2020 fiscal year and provides the opportunity to review actual expenditures against financial allocations in 2019. The year 2020 was an extraordinary one. With the world beset by the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent socio-economic impact on all nations; the Sustainable Development Goals have suffered significant setbacks over the last seven months. Some of the Global Goals, such as, Poverty Eradication, Zero Hunger and Climate Action have retrogressed or stalled. The government of Ghana has therefore been compelled to review and significantly adjust the 2020 national budget to reflect the remedial measures taken to protect citizens, livelihoods, enterprises and industries as well as facilitate sustainable recovery. These adjustments impacted the government’s initial priority spending for 2020 thereby influencing spending on specific goals. For example, the Ministry of Health’s expenditure increased from GHC6.5 billion to GHc8.1 billion as a result of the emergency measures taken to ensure effective case management of COVID-19 and the continuous provision of safe non-COVID-19 related services to the population. Through the Coronavirus Alleviation Programme and the Ghana CARES Obaatan Pa programme, the Parliament of Ghana has approved the spending of GHC1,203,702,000 and GHC2,028,000,000 respectively to ensure decent work and economic growth, a reduction in inequalities, protection for industries and the facilitation of innovation and infrastructure development among others.

These studies have been carried Good signal reception depends on a reliable communication out mostly in the temperate regions. But the severity of rain link. However, as the signal travels through the effect on the signal, are more pronounce at the tropics and communication medium, several factors affect the quality of equatorial regions where intense rainfall events are common the signal at the receiver. In Ku band digital satellite as compared to the temperate regions. This is reported in the transmission, rain is the major cause of link impairment. work of Ajayi (1996), Moupfouma (1985) and Ojo and Global rain rate and rain attenuation prediction models have Omotosho (2013). been developed to predict rain rate and rain attenuation at Satellite system design requires as input 1-minute rain rate various locations. These models have not been applied and data with various exceedance probabilities. Based on this tested with measured data to determine their prediction many researchers have conducted experiments on their local accuracy in the Ghanaian tropical region.

In regions where there are enough data coverage, Recommendation (ITU-R) rain rate models were applied and prediction models have been proposed.
