    REGIONAL ANALYTICAL REPORT VOLTA REGION Ghana Statistical Service June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Ghana Statistical Service Prepared by: Martin K. Yeboah Augusta Okantey Emmanuel Nii Okang Tawiah Edited by: N.N.N. Nsowah-Nuamah Chief Editor: Nii Bentsi-Enchill ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There cannot be any meaningful developmental activity 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, and socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. The Kilimanjaro Programme of Action on Population adopted by African countries in 1984 stressed the need for population to be considered as a key factor in the formulation of development strategies and plans. A population census is the most important source of data on the population in a country. It provides information on the size, composition, growth and distribution of the 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 resources, government services and the allocation of government funds among various regions and districts for education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users with an analytical report on the 2010 PHC at the regional level to facilitate planning and decision-making. This follows the publication of the National Analytical Report in May, 2013 which contained information on the 2010 PHC at the national level with regional comparisons. Conclusions and recommendations from these reports are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based policy formulation, planning, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programs.

  • GNHR) P164603 CR No 6337-GH REF No.: GH-MOGCSP-190902-CS-QCBS
    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.

According to a scholar Dr. James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey, “if you educate a man you educate an individual but if you educate a woman you educate a nation”. This quote stresses the significance and need to educate woman in the society for sustainable development. Paper identifies the gap between women in the rural and urban areas of Ghana despite demand and declaration for gender equality among men and women by international organizations. The paper tries to bridge gap by taking education and ICT training to the door steps of women. Keywords: Education, Women Empowerment, Development, Gender Equality, Human rights, Sustainable Development RELATED WORK Appiah, Sekidde, Adjuik, Akazili, Almeida, Nyonator, et al., 2014).

  • Price Information, Inter-Village Networks and 'Bargaining Spillovers'
    PRICE INFORMATION, INTER-VILLAGE NETWORKS, AND \BARGAINING SPILLOVERS": EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FROM GHANA∗ Nicole Hildebrandt Yaw Nyarko Giorgia Romagnoli Emilia Soldani September 7, 2015 Abstract We conducted a randomized field experiment to determine the impact of providing rural farmers with commodity price information delivered via text messages on their mobile phones. Using a novel index of inter-village communication networks, we show that the intervention: (1) had a sustained positive impact on the prices received by treatment group farmers, and (2) had substantial indirect benefits on the prices received by certain control group farmers. We discuss a novel mechanism of bargaining spillovers which can explain the rise of such positive external- ities, even in the absence of information sharing between the treatment and the control groups. After accounting for spillovers, we estimate that the price alerts led to a 9% increase in prices for the treatment group and for some control farmers who, we argue, benefited from bargaining spillovers. Accounting for spillovers is crucial because otherwise the longer-run estimates would be biased and one could erroneously conclude that the intervention had no long-run benefit for farmers. The direct return on investment of the service exceeds 200%, a result that underscores the huge potential of ICT interventions in emerging markets. JEL Codes: D82, O13, Q11, Q12, Q13.

  • A Case Study of the Nkwanta North District1 Abraham Kwesi Bisilki
    Bisilki, A. K./ The dilemmas of bilingual education in rural Ghana DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ljh.v29i2.6 The dilemmas of bilingual education in rural Ghana: A case study of the Nkwanta North District1 Abraham Kwesi Bisilki Lecturer Department of Applied Linguistics University of Education, Winneba, Ghana PhD Candidate Department of Linguistics The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Submitted: January 31, 2018 / Accepted: October 20, 2018 / Published: December 3, 2018 Abstract This paper relates to the broader purview of educational language policy in an African setting. It makes a contribution to the policy research and dialogue component of a National Literacy Acceleration Programme (NALAP), which is currently the school language policy strategy in Ghana. Through the use of structured questionnaires and a statistical analysis, the study assesses how the NALAP is being implemented in a scarcely referenced rural Nkwanta North District. A conclusion is reached that the NALAP is reduced to a mere ideological notion rather than an effectively run language policy in the Nkwanta North. The study also contends that any hope of the NALAP succeeding with its educational agenda in the Nkwanta North requires critical reforms in the local implementation framework, with some support from relevant central bodies. Keywords: bilingual education, NALAP, medium of instruction, Twi, Likpakpaln ‘Konkomba’ 1 My sincere appreciation goes to the three anonymous reviewers for their invaluable guidance in bringing this paper to the required standard. May I also acknowledge the assistance of Gideon Bisilki, a student at the Ghana School of Law, and Kwasi Enoch Ulorb in the process of writing this paper.
