It was carved out of the former Adaklu-Anyigbe District now Agotime-Ziope District with Legislative Instrument (LI 2085) of 2012. 1.2 Population Adaklu District according to the 2010 Polulation and Housing Census (PHC 2010) has a population of about 36,391 people with females constituting about 51.0 percent whiles the males constitute 49.0 percent. The most densely populated areas are Adaklu-Waya, Adaklu-Ahunda, Helekpe, Abuadi, Adaklu-Anfoe, Torda etc. People within the ages of 15 and 64 make up the labour force of every community. 1.3 DISTRICT ECONOMY: 1.3.1 Agriculture The most dominant economic activity in the District is agriculture which employs about 78 percent of the labour force. The District is well known in the region for the production of cereals and legumes such as maize, cowpea, groundnut and Rice and tubers including cassava, sweet potatoes, and vegetables (i.e. tomatoes, garden eggs, pepper, okro, etc). The district is also endowed with large livestock populations of cattle, sheep, goats, poultry and others. There exist abundant land for large scale crop and livestock rearing. 1.3.2 Roads Although the communities within the District are well linked and connected with feeder roads most of these roads are unengineered. The total road network in the District is about 123.1km. This is categorized into Highways, consisting of the Ho-Adidome Highway, and Feeder Roads including engineered, partially engineered and unengineered roads. The situation makes travelling in the District very difficult. The common means of transport for human traffic is Motor Cycle Services. However Communities along the Ho-Adidome Highway do receive the services of commercial vehicles that ply the road on their way to major towns along the highway. 1.3.3 Education Education is one of the most important sectors of the District. The Sector is divided into five circuits namely: the Ablonu, Abuadi, Ahunda, Kalakpa and Waya circuits with a total enrolment of 4,841 Pupils at the Basic School level (District Education Directorate) 333 teachers of which 186 are trained. The District has both public and private educational institutions. Educational Institutions range from Kindergarten to Senior Secondary School with no tertiary institution. 5 1.3.4 Health The District lacks a Hospital and as such health services are delivered at facilities located at Adaklu Helekpe H/C, Adaklu Waya H/C, Sofa Clinic (CHAG), Ahunda H/C, Torda CHPS zone, Ahunda CHPS zone and Kordiabe CHPS zone.

The general drainage system of the district is dominated by Rivers dominant among them is the River Tordze (red Volta). Adaklu District is underlain with two major geological formations namely the forest soil (Forest ochrosols, lethosols and intergrades found in the Adaklu Mountains area), Savannah soil (Heavy clay soil). 1.4 Key Issues The major development challenges of the District are: PRIVATE SECTOR 1.

    ENGAGEMENT OF A FIRM FOR DATA COLLECTION IN THE VOLTA REGION OF GHANA FOR THE GHANA NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD REGISTRY (GNHR) P164603 CR No 6337-GH REF No.: GH-MOGCSP-190902-CS-QCBS I. BACKGROUND & CONTEXT The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP) as a responsible institution to coordinate the implementation of the country’s social protection system has proposed the establishment of the Ghana National Household Registry (GNHR), as a tool that serves to assist social protection programs to identify, prioritize, and select households living in vulnerable conditions to ensure that different social programs effectively reach their target populations. The GNHR involves the registry of households and collection of basic information on their social- economic status. The data from the registry can then be shared across programs. In this context, the GNHR will have the following specific objectives: a) Facilitate the categorization of potential beneficiaries for social programs in an objective, homogeneous and equitable manner. b) Support the inter-institutional coordination to improve the impact of social spending and the elimination of duplication c) Allow the design and implementation of accurate socioeconomic diagnoses of poor people, to support development of plans, and the design and development of specific programs targeted to vulnerable and/or low-income groups. d) Contribute to institutional strengthening of the MoGCSP, through the implementation of a reliable and central database of vulnerable groups. For the implementation of the Ghana National Household Registry, the MoGCSP has decided to use a household evaluation mechanism based on a Proxy Means Test (PMT) model, on which welfare is determined using indirect indicators that collectively approximate the socioeconomic status of individuals or households.

  • National Communications Authority List Of
    NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY LIST OF AUTHORISED VHF-FM RADIO STATIONS IN GHANA AS AT THIRD QUARTER, 2019 Page 1 of 74 OVERVIEW OF FM RADIO BROADCASTING STATIONS IN GHANA Section 2 of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008, Act 775 mandates that the National Communications Authority “shall regulate the radio spectrum designated or allocated for use by broadcasting organisations and providers of broadcasting services”; “… determine technical and other standards and issue guidelines for the operation of broadcasting organisations …” “… may adopt policies to cater for rural communities and for this purpose may waive fees wholly or in part for the grant of a frequency authorisation”. The Broadcasting service is a communication service in which the transmissions are intended for direct reception by the general public. The sound broadcasting service involves the broadcasting of sound which may be accompanied by associated text/data. Sound broadcasting is currently deployed in Ghana using analogue transmission techniques: Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). Over the last two decades, AM sound broadcasting has faded, leaving FM radio as the only form of sound broadcasting in Ghana. FM radio broadcasting stations are classified for the purpose of regulatory administration of the service towards the attainment of efficient use of frequency. The following is the classification of FM radio broadcasting stations in Ghana. (1) Classification by Purpose: a) Public – all stations owned and operated by the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) and/or any other station established by the Government of Ghana by a statutory enactment. b) Public Foreign – stations established by Foreign Governments through diplomatic arrangements to rebroadcast/relay content from foreign countries e.g.

Polyparasitic infection is a possibility in areas where parasites are endemic, especially among children. This study looked at the prevalence of polyparasitic infections among children in the Volta Region of Ghana. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study, among 550 primary school children (aged 6–14 years) in 3 districts in the Volta Region. Questionnaires were administered, and blood, stool, and urine samples were collected. Blood samples were screened for Plasmodium falciparum with rapid diagnostic test and microscopy, together with hemoglobin estimation. Stool and urine samples were microscopically examined using wet mount and sedimentation methods to detect intestinal parasites and Schistosoma haematobium, respectively. Pearson χ2 test was used to evaluate the association between parasitic infections and socioeconomic variables, and multivariate logistic regression to evaluate paired associations among parasites. Results. The most prominent infection among the children was P. falciparum (present in 383 children [69.6%]), followed by S. haematobium (57 [10.36%]).

  • Agotime Ziope District
    AGOTIME ZIOPE DISTRICT Copyright (c) 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii 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 2010 Population 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 Agotime Ziope 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.
