    NOVEMBER, 2016 Avenue D, Hse. No. 119 D, North Legon P. O. Box CT2121 Cantonment, A POLICY BRIEF ON Accra-Ghana Tel: 030-290 0730 THE POTENTIAL FISCAL CONTRIBUTION facebook: Africa Centre for Energy Policy SPONSORED BY: OF THE SHEINI IRON ORE DEPOSITS IN twitter@AcepPower www.acepghana.com NORTHERN GHANA Executive Summary In the wake of increasing global economic challenges amidst unprecedented political events that may have significant impact on the world economies, Ghana is again blessed with an iron ore mine which is yet to be developed. The mine has the potential to expand the country’s economic progress and have trickling down effects of social progress and sustainable development for its peoples. It therefore becomes imperative to understand the extent of fiscal impacts that Ghana’s Sheini iron ore project is likely to bring. It is against this backdrop that the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP), through its partnership with WACAM under the auspices of OSIWA, undertook this fiscal benchmarking study. The approach to the study was quantitative. Using an excel fiscal model, the Sheini iron ore project was situated within the geological and project context of Guinea’s Simandou iron ore project to compare Ghana’s mining fiscal policy against the fiscal provisions of the contract between the Government of Guinea and Simfer S.A. The purpose was to determine the level of fiscal convergence between the two projects and use findings as an important guide for improving on the fiscal take from Ghana’s Sheini iron ore project. The following were the key findings about the competitiveness of Ghana’s mining fiscal terms and how equitable they are in ensuring that the government and its people benefit from the mining sector: From Government Perspective 1.

  • Tatale Sanguli District
    TATALE SANGULI DISTRICT Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service i PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Tatale Sanguli District is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.
