DRAFT DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN

(DMTDP) UNDER GSGDA

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF 2010-2013 MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT

PLAN/ ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CURRENT SITUATION

VISION:

A district that will be one of the best in the country where there is development in peace, unity and indeed adequate provision of security for all.

MISSION:

The Kpandai District Assembly exists to improve the livelihood of the people through the provision of socioeconomic infrastructure in an equitable and just manner.

DEVELOPMENT GOAL:

To facilitate the socio-economic development of the Kpandai district through effective resource mobilization for the provision of basic infrastructure and social amenities while ensuring spatial integration and gender equity for sustained growth.

1.2 Performance Review of 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan

The District Development concern for the planned period under the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSDA2010-2013) -the national strategic policy framework which guided and directed the implementation of the Kpandai District’s Medium Term Development Plan for 2010-2013, was

Enhancing production and productivity as well as the economic well being of the people through adequate provision and utilization of social services, ensuring good governance and the rights of the individual in the District

This was pursued through the implementation of comprehensive programmes of action aimed at strengthening the capacities of the human resource base of the district as well as the provision of adequate social services. Others included the activities aimed at boosting and sustaining high productivity of relevant sectors of the district’s economy including agriculture, commerce and industry.

Significant strives were also made towards enhancing the capacity of institutions to deliver improved and efficient services district wide and the pursuance of programmes for the vulnerable and the excluded.

In the midst of significant strides in the achievement of the set objectives during the period, a number of bottlenecks were encountered. Some of the major constraints and or challenges for the progress of planned activities were the lack of adequate funds to finance the projects and programmes that were aimed at meeting planned targets. This led to low development of school, health and transport infrastructure culminating in acute service delivery constraints, and manifested in low primary school enrolment, and poor school performance. In spite of the progress made in most sectors of the district economy to ensure equity, gender disparities can still be observed in all sectors including education, production, health, employment, and access to and control over land.

Also, some measures have been taken aimed at strengthening local government structures and encouraging grass root participation. This notwithstanding, little improvement was achieved in that regard and the sub-district structures which is the focal point of the local governance still remained dormant and ineffective.

In addition to the above generalized view of the Plan and it achievements under the planned period, the assessment of the implementation status of projects and programmes in the District was done with reference to the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA) thematic areas which included Transparent and Accountable Governance; Human Development, Productivity and Employment; Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability; Ensuring Competitiveness In Ghana’s Private Sector; Accelerated Agriculture Modernization And Sustainable Natural Resource Management; Infrastructure, Energy And Human Settlement as well as Oil And Gas Development.

The table below shows the projects status during the planning period.

1.3.0 Other Interventions Including Cross-Cutting Issues

This part of the report covers the issues on the progress made with respect to special programmes being implemented in the District within the last Planning Session. The following are brief statements of progress of such programmes.

1.3.1 The National Youth Employment Programme

The National Youth Employment Programme has engaged youth under various models being implemented in the District. The breakdown is as follows:

No. Model Male Female Total

1 Community Protection System 2 1 3

2 Waste and Sanitation Management 125 150 275

3 Education Teaching Assistants 40 125 165

4 Auxiliary Health Assistants - - -

5 Paid Internship & Industrial Attachment 9 11 20

1.3.2 Outcomes of Vulnerability Programmes as well as Gender Programmes

The district registered 230 People Living with Disability (PWDs) comprising 140 women and 70 men. The total number who benefited from the DACF is 237 made of 135 women and 102 men. The total amount disbursed is Eighty Three Thousand, Two Hundred Fifty Ghana Cedis (GhC 83,250.00). Some of the beneficiaries used the money in farming, animal rearing, paying their children school fees, petty trading among others.

A total of 105 women benefited from training programmes in soap and pomade making as well as batik tie and dye. They were given basic tools to start –up.

Sensitization programmes on child neglect, child betrothal and polygamous marriages were organized in the district. Nine hundred (900) benefited from the sensitization programmes comprising 550 males and 350 females.

For the disaster preparedness in the area of floods, communities along the riverbanks were sensitized. A total of 2,300 (1,320 females and 980 males) community members benefited from the sensitization. Anti-bush fires campaigns were carried out in over 30 communities. Over 1,450 women and 1,800 benefited from the campaigns.

School related gender violence programmes were carried out in some selected schools in the district. The total number of school children who benefited were 970 comprising 634 males and 336 females. Kpandai Senior High and some of Junior High Schools in the district benefited from sensitization on the dangers of pre-marital sex. 450 boys and 356 girls benefited from the sensitization.

Challenges & Prospects:

 Delay in the release of Monthly Allowance  Some of the youth are able to go for further education

1.3.3 Incentives for Business Development in the District

Some of the incentives available for business development in Kpandai District have to do with the following:

 Availability of water resources that could be harnessed for various uses  Abundance of fertile lands for farming purposes  Availability of a large unskilled labour force

1.3.4 Land under Irrigation

The District has constructed two irrigation dams with support from Northern Region Poverty Reduction Strategy Programme (NORPREP) an IFAD funded project. Both dams are completed and farmers are busily undertaken the dry season farming.

1.3.5 The Capitation Grant

The Capitation Grant is currently on-going in the district with all the Government Schools benefiting from the transferred grants. The grant is normally used as a replacement of the school fees for each pupil in the Primary and Junior High Schools. This initiative of Government has tremendously increased enrolment at the Primary and Junior High Schools in the District.

1.3.6 The School Feeding Programme

The Ghana School Feeding is also on going in the district at the 21 primary schools. A total of 10,379 pupils made up 5,320 males and 5,059 females are benefiting from one Nutritious Hot Meal each school day.

 There exist in the district institutional structures for fighting HIV/AIDS. These are the District AIDS Committee and District Response Initiative and Management Team. However, they are not active on the ground due to inadequate funding of their activities. In spite of all these numerous challenges, some education and campaigns are on-going in areas of stigmatization, prevention and control as well as awareness creation among the people in the district.

 The Kpandai District Assembly has also prepared a Gender Strategic Plan covering 2009-2012. It is hoped that the plan will be implemented.

 As part of the efforts of the Kpandai District Assembly to include women in the decision making processes at the local level, four women were appointed as Government Appointees in the General Assembly.

 Also, the Assembly formed a Sub-committee on Women and Children so that the views of the Committee will be mainstreamed into the decisions of the Assembly.

 In the area of environmental governance, the Assembly has constructed 782 household latrines with support from the I-WASH Project. Through the Ghana Environmental Management Project (GEMP) , Assembly has also formed a District Environmental Management Committee as well as seven Community Environmental Management Committees.

1.4 Statement of Income and Expenditure

In terms of internally generated revenue, the Assembly performance in 2010 and 2013 is very bad. For instance in 2012 and 2013, the percentage share of the IGF was 1.28% and 2.52% respectively. This means that the Assembly depended so much on the DACF and the donor funds. For instance, in 2012 and 2013 the DACF amounted to 70.51% and 80.31% respectively. The tables below show the income and expenditure for the two years.

1.5 Key Problems/Issues Encountered During the Implementation 2010-2013 DMTDP

The major challenges that militated against the plan implementation included:  Inadequate funds to execute planned activities, this emanated among other things from the low-income generation of the Assembly; delay in the release of funds by some of the major funding sources of the Assembly such as the DACF;  Ineffective functioning of the grassroots decentralized structures such as the Town/Area Councils and the Unit Committees;  Inadequate personnel in most of the decentralized departments.

1.6 Lessons Learnt which Have Implications for the DMTDP (2014-2017)

The following were lessons learnt which may have implications for 2014-2017 DMTDP;  Tracking/assessing of progress of development interventions depended solely on the availability of data so this calls for proper collection and storage of data

 There should not be overreliance on DACF because of the high percentage deducted at source and unseemliness.

1.7 Profile of the District

1.7.1 Introduction

Legislative Instrument 1885 having the district capital located at Kpandai carved Kpandai District out of the East Gonja District in February 2008. According to the 2010 PHC, the district has a population of 108,816 made of 54,997 Males (50.5%) and 53,819 females (49.5%). The population above 15 years stands at 57,160 with a mean age of 21 and sex ratio of 102. 1.2.3 Geophysical Characteristics.

1.7.2 Location and size

The District can be located at the South-Eastern corner of the Northern Region of Ghana and lies between latitudes 8º N and 9.29º N and longitudes 0.29 º E and 1.26ºW. It is bordered to the North by Nanumba South District, East Gonja to the West, Krachi West District to the South-West, Nkwanta North District to the East. The District has a total land area of 1,132.9Km Square. The District is strategically located – the central point between the Northern part and Southern part of the Eastern corridor of Ghana. The District can therefore take advantage of its strategic location to be a gateway to both the Southern and Northern Ghana.

1.7.3 Relief and Drainage

The lands are gently undulating with few depressions. There are few high hills to the eastern corridor of the district but mountains are completely absent. The soils are generally sandy loamy except in the lowlands and swampy areas where alluvial deposits are found.

The district is endowed with three big rivers- River Oti, River Daka, White Volta and its tributaries that transverse the district at vantage points and floods these areas at the peak of the rainy season. There are also low lying and swampy areas which also become waterlogged during the rainy season. Other water bodies found in the District include numerous intermittent streams located in most parts of the District. These water bodies constitute important resources for the people as most of them depend on them for household use, fishing and transportation.

The topography of the District is not a hindrance for road development and yet most of the communities in the District are accessible only by foot paths .Generally, the area is well drained except that few portions located close to the major rivers and streams become waterlogged and pose problems for human and vehicle movement in the rainy seasons. The water bodies also create large expanse of river banks that offer an advantage for rice cultivation.

1.7.4 Climate

The District lies in the Tropical Continental Climatic Zone with the mid-day sun always overhead. As result, temperatures are fairly high ranging between 29oC and 40oC. Maximum temperature is usually recorded in April, towards the end of the dry season. Minimum temperatures are also recorded around December-January, during the Harmattan period. Just like any part of West Africa, the district comes under the influence of the wet South-West Monsoon and the dry North-East Trades winds which are associated with the rainy season and the dry harmattan conditions respectively. The rainfall pattern in Kpandai District is characterized by irregularity and variability in terms of timing of onset, duration and total amount of rainfall, which has been the key limiting factor affecting crop production in the district. However, the district has one main rainy season which is sufficient to support and sustain plant life. The total annual rainfall ranges between 1150mm to 1500mm. This climatic pattern is good for food crop production and to some extent, forest development. However, the concentration of the rains in three months period affect farming since most parts of the year when rains are off is usually declared as “off farming” and the people spend most of this period idling. Similarly, the pattern affects accessibility to certain communities as most roads become flooded during the peak season rendering them impossible or unmotorable.

1.7.5 Vegetation

The District is located in the transitional zone between the Northern Savannah and the moist semi deciduous forest. The natural vegetation in the district is the Guinea Savannah

Woodland, which has evolved from climatic conditions and modified substantially by human activities. There are few grooves, which have been preserved over the years.

The tree cover consists of semi-deciduous trees such as oil palm trees; raffia palm; acacia; shea-nut trees; dawadawa trees among others. In addition, tall grasses that characterize Guinea Savannah areas are extensively spread throughout the district. A large number of both plant and animal species inhabit the natural environment.

The tree cover is relatively dense, compared to the rest of the districts in Northern Region. However, intensive harvesting of the trees for fuel wood and charcoal production, and bad attitude of the Fulani herdsmen are fast reducing the tree cover.

1.7.6 Soils

The soils in the district are classified into three major groupings. These include alluvial soils classified as Glysols, which is found around the Volta Lake, particularly in the drawn-down zone of the Volta Lake, in the dry season. The soils along the Lake are medium textured and moderately well drained in parts. The soil is potentially fertile for the commercial cultivation of yams and maize. The bulk of the district is covered by ground water laterites, developed mainly from Voltaian Sandstone materials, highly concretionally with frequent exposures of iron pan and boulders. There are, however, deeper and slightly better soils in some locations, which could support shifting cultivation patterns. Any development should include maintenance of vegetation cover to prevent soil erosion.

The other major soil group is the relatively fertile Savannah Ochrosols. This soil group is moderately well drained with good water retention. The soils types found in the District are good for the cultivation of crops such as yam, maize, groundnut, cassava among others. Also the recent discoveries of smooth sand (Sea-Sand) around Blajai may be an important revenue sources to the District if access road is created to the site.

1.7.7 Environmental Situation

The quality of both the built and natural environment is vital for the sustainable growth and development of the district. Developmental initiatives can only be meaningful and sustainable when it is founded on a well managed and healthy built environment. To this end, the protection of natural environment to prevent deforestation, land degradation and loss of ecosystem is paramount. The District Natural and Built Environment are therefore examined in this section.

1.7.8 Natural Environment

The District’s natural environment is characterized by numerous problems emanating from the rainfall pattern, nature of soils, use of energy resources, farming and household activities.

The pattern of rainfall experienced in the district to a large extent contributes to the environmental degradation of the district. From December to March when the rains are off, the area becomes dry and the vegetation is destroyed by bush fires leaving the land bare. This serves as an avenue for extensive soil erosion when the rains set-in around April or May. This phenomenon has led to extensive land degradation in most parts of the district.

A significant portion of the district abound in clay soils and this poses serious problems for human and vehicle movement due to the floods that are normally associated with clay with the onset of the rains.

About 90% of the population depends on wood and charcoal as the main source of energy for both domestic and commercial purposes. The collection of wood and the production of charcoal lead to environmental degradation in all the settlements in the district. The developmental constraints associated with the use of charcoal and wood as the main sources of energy includes.

 Deforestation  Soil erosion  Loss of soil fertility  Ecological imbalance The practice of clearing and burning the vegetation for farming in the district also cause erosion and deforestation in the district. Since about 90% of the population is farmers, these have adverse impact on the food security in the District.

The main problems of the district environment and sanitation are caused by household activities. About 80% of the population in the district disposes off both solid and liquid waste within the vicinity of their houses and these are carried into the various water bodies by run-offs thereby polluting them. The logical consequence of this is the wide spread incidence of sanitation related diseases such as diarrhoea, bilharzias, dysentery and other water borne diseases etc.

1.7.9 Built Environment

The state of the built environment in the District leaves much to be desired. This is traceable to poor spatial planning, poor waste management, lack of District bye- laws, poor building technology etc. With the absence of effective development control machinery in the district, physical development has been haphazard and uncoordinated leading to incompatible land uses especially in the urban and semi urban settlements of Kpandai, Kumdi, Buya and Kitare etc. Worse still the general absence of drains in the district has exposed most communities to severe erosion resulting in reel and gullies and these exposed foundations of buildings. Similarly, large portions of the feeder roads in the District are badly eroded increasing travelling time by more than half the normal travel time.

1.7.10 Demographic Characteristics

Population is a critical issue in every district development. The Population of a District is its greatest resource. It is the instrument and objective of the district’s development, hence the protection and enhancement of its welfare is the District’s first responsibility (adapted from “Ghana Population Policy, 1969”)

1.7.11 Population Size and Distribution

Table 2.1 presents information on the district population by age, sex and type of locality. The district has a total population of 108,816 made of 54,997 (50.54%) male and 53,819 (49.46%) females. Sex ratio refers to the number of males per 100 females in a population. The district has a sex ratio of approximately 102 that is, for every 100 females; there are 102 males in the district. The age bracket of 55-59 has the highest sex ratio of 126.8 and the least being 30-34 with 79.0.

1.7.12 Age and sex structure

The population size decreases considerably as the age groupings increases except between 70-74. The changes in the age structure between 70-74 years also affect changes in the male and female populations. This trend is reflected in both urban and rural populations. The male population is higher than the females between 40 and 69 years but above 84 years the trend distorts. There is a rapid change in the sex structure between 20 and 44 years where the male exceeds the female population. The population in the rural localities is higher than the urban at all age groups.

1.7.13 Population Pyramid Figure 2.1 portrays that the district’s population structure is broad at the base and narrows upwards. The district population is therefore more youthful in nature and has the potential of increasing the productive work force with time. The age group with a larger proportion of the population is 0-4 years followed by 5-9 years in that order up to 50-54 years. Within the female population, the trend continues up to 65-69 and spontaneously increases between ages 70-74. The trend then continues till 94 years and older. In the male population, the decreasing trend is observed up to 50-59 and increases at age 60- 64, and fluctuates after age 64. This trend is an indication that the male population in the district does not obey the natural order of population pyramid. There is a drastic reduction in the population for both sexes in the district between ages 55-59 years. Between 0 to 9 years, the male population in the district exceeds that of the females.

1.7.14 Sex ratio Sex ratio measures the number of males in relation to every 100 females. The district has a sex ratio of 102. Table 2.1 shows that the population below age 15 (0-14), the economically active (15-64) and aged (65+) have the sex ratio of 108, 96 and 99 respectively. This means that there are more males below fifteen years (0-14) than the economically active and the aged populations. The sex ratio assumes an increasing pattern between zero and 19 years but falls between 20 and 34 years. There are fluctuations of sex ratio between 45and 94 years with the highest between 55-59 years. This is an indication that there are many males than females who are aged between 50 and 59 years than any other age group in the district.

1.7.15 Dependency ratio Table 2.1 presents information on the dependency situation in the district. The dependency ratio is expressed as a percentage of the dependent population (persons aged less than 15 years and those above 64 years) relative to the working population (i.e. the population aged 15-64 years).

The age-dependency ratio for males and females in the district is 110 and 99 respectively. This means that there are 110 male in the dependent ages for every 100 persons in the working ages unlike the females which is a burden on the economically active group. The urban localities in the district have age-dependency ratio of approximately 82 and that of the rural being 108. 1.7.16 Fertility, mortality and migration

1.7.16.1 Fertility Fertility refers to the number of live children a woman has ever given birth to in her life time. The current fertility data that is births in the last 12 months to women aged 15-49 years have been used to estimate age specific fertility rate, total fertility rate, general fertility rate and crude birth rates for all the districts in Northern Region as presented in table 2.2. Information on fertility indicators is necessary for planning of social development programmes in the region and the districts.

Kpandai and Savelugu/Nanton districts have the highest total fertility rates of 4.3 in the region. The lowest total fertility rate is recorded in ZabzuguTatali and Karaga with 2.9 and 2.9 respectively. Kpandai district has a general fertility rate of 123.0 which is higher than the regional rates of 101.9. This explains that 123 live births are given by 1,000 women who are between ages 15-49 per year. It therefore implies that family planning services are to be intensified in the district so as to control the population growth. The crude birth rate for the district is 27.2 which is also greater than the regional figure of 24.

1.7.16.2 Mortality

Mortality is about the process of death and changes that occur in the population structure. Data on mortality are used as benchmarks to determine the health status and growth potential of the population. Table 1.8 presents female population 12 years and older by age, children ever born, children surviving and sex of child. Out of the female population of 53,819in the district, 32,714 reported that they have ever given birth. Children ever born to these females are made of 48,620 males and 46,352 females. The children who survived to these females stand at 81,888 made up 41,535 males and 40, 353 females. The lowest reported children ever born are within the age bracket of 12- 14 with 16 children for both sexes and 15-19 with 633 children for both sexes. The highest reported children ever born fall within the ages 30-34 with 14,248 children for both sexes and 60+ with 16,728 children for both sexes.

Table 1.9 highlights on the total population in the northern region and various districts in the region, deaths occurring in the households and crude death rate in the districts and the entire northern region. Crude death rate refers to all total deaths per 1000 population in a given year.

A total of 14,714 deaths occurred in the entire households in the region within a population of 2,479,461. The crude death rate is 5.9, which imply that six persons died out of every 1,000 population in the region. The crude death rate of the district is 5.1 with the highest population is the Tamale metropolis with a population of 371,351 which recorded 1,413 deaths in the households with crude death rate of 5.67. Yendi municipal is the next populous district with a population of 199,592 with 1,293 household deaths and a crude death rate of 6.48.

Kpandai district recorded a crude death rate of 5.09, which is lower than that of the regional rate of 5.93. The district recorded the 6thlowest crude death rate among the 20 districts in northern region. In case of individual deaths occurring in the households in the districts, Saboba recorded the least of 235 followed by Chereponi with 288.

1.7.16.3 Migration Birthplace of migrants by duration of stay at current residence in the district is presented in table 1.10. The district recorded the total of 14,777 migrants which is made of about 50 percent (7,771) born in the region and rest are born in other regions and outside Ghana. Apart from Northern Region, most of the migrants (3,481) are born in Volta Region and 1,079 migrants born outside Ghana. The least region were the migrants of the district are born is Western with only 41 migrants. In terms of the migrants’ duration or stay in the district, 25.6 percent of the migrants stay twenty years and more. Over thirty three percent who were born outside Ghana have lived in the district for twenty or more years. The closeness of the district to Volta Region might have accounted for most of the migrants being born there. The high number of migrants who live in the district and were born outside Ghana is likely to be the Kotokolis and Basaris who come from Togo to settle in the district

1.7.18 Culture and Social Structure The district has diverse cultures. All the ethnic groups in the district have their local chiefs. They are further divided into clans with recognized clan heads. The Nawuris were the first ethnic group to migrate to the area. The clan heads play various roles in mobilizing their people for special functions. Amongst the various clans, there is no established structure or hierarchy. This often leads to chaos as to who amongst the numerous clan heads to pay homage to on a visit to a particular community. Ethnic diversity in the district is a potential source of conflict and efforts should be made to avert those situations. Major celebrations that bring the people from all over the country to their traditional homes include funerals and festivals such as the yam festival. 1.7.19 Settlement Systems

The settlement pattern is generally the dispersed type. Many of the communities are located along major roads in the area, with populations sparsely distributed.

1.7.20 Economic Activity Status The economic activity status is presented on figure 1.2. The economically active male population is 87.1 percent and that of female is 83.5 percent. The economically not active proportion of male is 12.9 percent and that of male is 16.5 percent

Table 1.12 looks at the population 15 years and older by activity status and sex. From table 4.1, 85.3 percent of the population who are 15 years and older are economically active while 14.7 percent are economically not active. Ninety nine percent of the economically active population worked and those who did not work but had job to go back to is 0.9 percent, whereas 0.1 percent did voluntary work without pay. For the economically active population, 87.1 percent are males and 83.5 percent females. Close to 13 percent of the males are economically not active and that of female is 16.5 percent. For the male economically active population, 99.1 percent are employed whereas females also constitute 98.9 percent. Ninety nine percent of the employed males actually worked seven days prior to the census night, 0.9 percent did not work but had jobs to go back to whiles 0.1 percent did voluntary work without pay. Among the females, 98.9 percent actually worked, 1.0 percent did not work but had jobs to go back to and 0.2 percent did voluntary work without pay.

The unemployed in both sexes constitute one percent. About half of the unemployed have worked before, seeking for work and are available for work. In the male and female population respectively 43.6 percent and 54.3 percent have worked before, seeking for work and are available for work. Females (54.3%) who have worked before, seeking for work and are available for work is higher than their male (43.6%) counterparts. On the contrary, males (56.4%) seeking for work for the first time is higher than that of the females (45.7%). The economically not active population constitute 14.7 percent in the district out of which 20.2 percent did (home duties/ household chores), 47.3 percent is into full time education and 21.9 percent are either too old or too young to work. Among the male population 12.9 percent did home duties/home chores which is less than the females proportion of 25.8 percent. This means that females do a lot of household duties than their male counterparts. Sixty one percent of the economically not active population is into full time education. This is higher than that of the female proportion of 36.9 percent. This means that males are into full time education than females within the same age group in the district. Female education should therefore be given greater attention. Finally, almost equal number of males (1.7%) and females (1.6%) did not work for other reasons.

Employed population 15 years and older by sex, age and activity status is presented on table 1.13. From table 1.13, 20.3 percent of the employed population is aged between 15 and 19 years followed by persons between 20 and 24 years with 15.1 percent. This downward trend continues up to 59 years. Interestingly, it rises from 60 to 64 years with 33 percent and continues up to 65 years and older (7.0%). The unemployment status continues to 99 years, which means that persons between 65 and 99 years constitute 7.0 percent. This trend is seen in the employed, unemployed and economically not active population as well as the male and female distribution. Over sixteen percent of the employed population is between 15 and 19 years, followed by those between 20 and 27 years (14.9%). This downward trend continues till the population 65years and above. 57.1 percent employed population between 15 and 34 years. The male population 18.1 percent of the employed is within 15 and 19 years and 14.7 percent in the female population. Males aged between 15 and 34 constitute 55.7 percent as against 60.3 percent females within the same age category. This means that between 15 and 34 years females are employed or likely to be employed in the district than male. Over six percent of males above 65 years are employed which is higher than females (4.2%). After 65 years males in the district are employed more than the females. Population 26.4 percent is unemployed in the district and is between 20 and 24 years with 25.35 percent males and 27.3 percent females. Sixty percent of the unemployed persons are between the ages 15 and 29 years among males whereas females are 60.4 percent. Unemployment is almost the same between both sexes in the district. Unemployment among person 60 years and above is high in females (4.3%) than males (3.1%). Conversely, between 55 and 59 years it is higher in the male (50.3%) population than the female (0.7%). About 43 percent of the economically not active population in the district is between 15 and 19 years. Among the male population it is 52.4 percent whereas in female population it is 36.0 percent. Cumulatively, 70.1 percent of the unemployed are between 15 and 24 years, most of whom may be in full time education and therefore may not be available for work. The variation in males and females in the same group may be due to the fact that most males are more likely to be in full time education than females. Above 60 years females (25.9%) are economically not active than their male (15.3%) counterparts. The difference among the sexes may be due to the fact that, after child bearing most females performs household chores than the males.

It should be noted that some households are involved in more than one farming activity and that is why the total percentages do not add up to exactly 100. The patterns of the distribution of the households engaged in agricultural activities differ in the urban and rural localities. Among the urban, 71.4 percent are involved in agriculture, 93.8 percent in crop farming, 5 households representing 0.4 percent are into tree planting, 45.5 percent involving in livestock rearing and interestingly no household in the urban locality is involved in fishing. The rural localities in the district representing 92.0 percent of the households are engaged in agriculture with crop farming taking 96.3 percent and tree farming constituting 0 3 percent. Livestock rearing in the district is done by 56.3 percent of the households with least being fish farming.

The few households involved are all in the rural localities and so there is an urgent need to revamp fish farming in the district.

Table 1.27 shows the main source of lighting of dwelling unit in the district and their distribution in both urban and rural localities. The main source of lighting for most households in the district is kerosene lamps accounting for 51.6 percent in both urban and rural communities. However, 29.6 percent of the households use electricity from the mains as their main source of lighting with only eight households representing 0.0 percent using candle as the main source of lighting. A proportion of 16.7 percent uses flashlight or touch light as their main source of lighting, whiles 0.9 percent uses electricity from private generators. The distribution pattern changes when it comes to urban and rural settings. Whereas 73.9 percent of the households in urban localities use electricity (main), only 24.0 percent of the dwelling units in rural localities use electricity (main). The main source of lighting for households in the district is kerosene lamps but in urban it is the electricity (main). This is because most of the households in the district are found in the rural than in urban localities. The use of flashlight or touch light is the third widely used source of lighting in both urban and rural households. Solar energy usage is prominent among the urban localities and that of the rural localities is firewood.

Table 1.28 looks at main source of water for drinking and other domestic purposes. Nearly two- fifth of the households in the district (39.5%) uses river or stream as their main source of drinking water. Out of this, only 0.3 percent of the households are urbanized and 54.5 percent are located in rural localities. This is an indication that the rural households lack portable drinking water. Bore –holes/ pumps/tube wells are the next widely used main source of drinking water in the district (24.6%) with 5.5 percent and 27.1 percent of them emanating from urban and rural localities respectively. Public tap and standpipes serve as the main source of drinking water for 16.1 percent of the households in the district. The urban localities in the district have 52.2 percent and 11.5 percent of the rural households relying on public taps and standpipes as the main source of drinking water. Pipe-borne outside the dwelling serves as the main source of drinking water for one-fifth of the entire district households with 23.2 percent and 8.4 percent of urban and rural localities respectively.

Table 1.29 shows the main source of cooking fuel and cooking space used by households as well as their spread among the urban and rural localities. The widely used source of cooking fuel in the district is wood with a proportion of 89.5 percent and the least is animal waste with no household using it in the district. 95.6 percent of the rural households and 41.9 percent of the urban households uses Wood as cooking fuel. Charcoal serves as the main source of cooking fuel for 7.5 percent of the households in the district and 49.4 percent and 2.1 percent in urban and rural communities respectively. However, 253 households representing 1.5 percent do not cook in the district. Greater proportion (3.9%) of these households is in the urban localities and 1.2 percent in rural localities. Interestingly, only four households in the district use saw dust as their main source of cooking fuel. On the availability of cooking space, 38 percent of the households have separate rooms that are exclusively used for cooking. The proportion of households using this facility in urban and rural localities respectively is 23.8 percent and 39.8 percent. Rural households have secured cooking space than their urban counterparts. The use of open space in compound as the main cooking space is prominent in the district with one-third of the households in the district practicing it. The proportion of households in the district using separate room but shares with other household(s) accounts for 11.4 percent out of which 10.0 percent and 11.6 percent are in the urban and rural localities respectively. Structure with roof but without walls serves as cooking space for 10.7 percent of the district households and 5.3 percent and 11.4 percent of the urban and rural households respectively. The least cooking space used by households in the district is the bedroom, hall or living room (0.2%) with 0.1 percent and 0.2 percent emanating from urban and rural households respectively.

1.30. As many as 13,618 households representing 83.1 percent have no toilet facilities in the district. They therefore use the bush, beach or field as their toilet facility. This practice is worse in rural localities since 87.4 percent of the households are involved. In the urban localities 47.1 percent of the households also have no such toilet facilities. Only 10.5 percent of the households in the district use public toilet (WC, KVIP, Pit, Pan etc). The use of WC as the main toilet facility in the district is very low with only 0.3 percent of households patronising. It is better in urban localities (1.5%) than in the rural as 1.5 percent and 0.1 percent respectively use such facility. KVIP is used by 1.5 percent of all households in the district but in the urban and rural localities, the patronage is 3.4 percent and 1.3 percent respectively. Bathing facility widely used by household in the district is the use of own bathroom for exclusive use with a proportion of 49.7 percent. Thirty five percent of the urban household and 51.6 percent of the rural household also have their own bathroom for exclusive use. The use of shared separate bathroom in the same house is patronized by one-fifth of the district households. This proportion is replicated among the rural household but in urban household the proportion increases slightly to 23.4 percent. Shared open cubicle is used by 8.7 percent in all localities out of which 22.8 percent and 6.9 percent respectively come from urban and rural households. Open Space around homes is also prominent among the district households with 9.2 percent and 5.5 percent and 9.7 percent of the urban and rural households respectively. The least used bathing facility in the River/Pond/Lake/Dam with 0.2 percent in all localities, 0.1 percent in urban and 0.3 percent in the rural households.

1.7.35 Method of Waste Disposal

Table 1.31 presents method of solid and liquid waste disposal by type of locality. Table 1.31 shows that 52.7 percent of the households in the district dispose their solid waste at public dump (open space). The proportion of Households in the district who dump their solid waste indiscriminately is 25.7 percent. Only 5.9 percent of households have their solid waste collected with 8.4 percent and 5.4 percent being public dump (container) and buried by household respectively. The rural localities follow the pattern of the district as a proportion of 57.9 percent and 27.4 percent respectively use public dump (open space) and dumping indiscriminately. The least method used in both urban and rural localities is where the household buries their solid waste. However in urban localities the method of disposal changes as 61.5 percent use public dump (container) and 12.6 percent do indiscriminate dumping of solid waste. The second widely used method of waste disposal in the district is by dumping indiscriminately and the least used is buried by household. Close to 45 percent of the households throw their liquid waste to the street/outside their dwelling with 41.0 percent throwing it onto the compound. The disposal of liquid waste in rural localities and that of the district takes the same pattern as 46.6 percent of the liquid waste in rural communities throws the liquid waste onto the street/outside with 41.2 percent throwing onto their compounds. Conversely in the urban localities as most households (39.1%) throw their liquid waste onto the compound, 29.3 percent throw it onto the street/outside the dwelling. Equal proportion of 0.2 percent uses other disposal methods in all localities as well as urban and rural localities. Only 2.7 percent of the district households dispose the liquid waste through the sewerage system with urban and rural having 1.2 percent and 2.9 percent respectively.

Interestingly 2.9 percent of rural households as against only 1.2 percent of the urban households dispose the liquid waste through the sewerage system. The third widely used liquid waste disposal method in both urban and rural localities is through drainage into a pit (soak away).

1.7.40 Disability, Education and Literacy

Appendix table 1 looks at population 3 years and older by sex, disability type and level of education. The district has a total of 1,593 person who are 3 years and older with a form of disability. The male and female population stands at 853 and 740 respectively.

The population 3 years and older with a form of disability have various levels of educational attainment. One thousand and fifty seven of the disables have never attended school, 32 attended nursery, 48 attended kindergarten, 249 attended primary, 135 attended middle /JSS and SHS.

Four persons in the district attained vocational/technical/commercial level, 24 attained post secondary and none attained bachelor degree or post graduate (certificate, diploma, masters or PhD level.

Sight disability is the highest in the district with a population of 557 out of which 399 have never attended school, 67 attended primary and 43 attended middle/JSS/JHS. Three hundred males and 257 females have sight disability out of which 201 and 198 have never attended school in male and female population respectively.

Forty one males and 26 females have sight disability and attained primary level, 29 and 14 persons respectively in male and female population attained middle, JSS or JHS level. Physical disability is the second highest with 178 males and 170 females out of which 106 and 123 in male and female population respectively have never attended school.

Disability in all types aside intellectual is higher in males than females 3 years and older in the district.

1.7.41 District Finance

This section of the plan deals with the analysis of revenue and expenditure of the District from 2008-2009. This is to assess the performance of various revenue and expenditure components since the creation of the District. It is intended to inform the recommendations to be made in order to improve the performance of the District’s finance. It further analyses key areas in both revenue and expenditure that will require prompt attention if substantial financial allocations from the District’s own resources to new development projects are to be made. Figures for the revenue and expenditure for the period under review in this section have not been discounted to reflect real change. Therefore the basic assumption is that changes in most of the rates charged over the years (2) are manifestations of inflationary changes in the country over the period.

An analysis of the District revenue sources indicates that licenses and rates are the major contributors to the Internally Generated Revenue. It contributed about 88.87% of the internal revenue in 2008.

The major source of funds to the District is from external sources. The most important of these to the financing of capital projects in the District is the District Assembly Common Fund, which accounts for about 89.27% and 82.14% for 2012 and 2013 respectively. This implies that the timely and sustainable disbursement of the Common Fund is a key factor in the District development. Other external sources include GSOP, DDF, IBIS, GETFund among others.

1.7.42 Expenditure

The expenditure side of the District’s Budget has been divided into Recurrent and capital expenditure to conform to the conventional budget structure of Local Governance in Ghana. As can be noticed in the table below Travel & Transport was the highest recurrent expenditure item accounting for about 1.72% and 1.24% of the expenditure for 2012 and 2013 respectively. Development projects account for about 95.35% of the total budget for 2012 and 97.47% of the budget for 2013. This means that most of the funds received by the District are spent on development projects.

1.7.43 Traditional System of Governance

This describes the established structures and processes, which promote and guide development in the District. There are two main systems of governance in the District. These are the traditional system with established chiefs and clan heads representing the communities. The District traditional governance is led by the Nawuris and Nchumburus Wuras and they oversee all the communities in the District. They however have appointed representatives in communities all over the District. Directly below the representatives are the elders and family heads as well as settler’s heads. The next in the hierarchy are opinion leaders who mostly represent various interest groups in the communities. These people play various roles in the management of development projects and fostering peaceful co-existence in the various communities.

1.7.44 Institutional Framework for Local Governance

The various legal frameworks which guide local development in Ghana includes: the Civil Service Law, 1993 (PNDC Law, 327), the National Development Planning System Law, 1994, (Act 480) and the Local Government Law, 1993 (Act 462). These enactments place emphasis on District Assembly in order to reinforce the attainment of total decentralization and participatory development

According to the National Development (System) Law, 1994, (Act 480), all District Assemblies are to submit District Development Plans to the Regional Coordinating Councils which will intend harmonize the plans with the national development policies and priorities for consideration and approval by the National Development Planning Commission.

There is therefore a vertical relationship between the National Development Planning Commission at the National level, Regional Planning Coordinating Council at the Regional level and the District Assembly at the District level. The figure below shows the New Local Government Structure.

1.7.45 The District Assembly as Planning Machinery

Kpandai District Assembly is the highest Political and Administrative body in the District. The Assembly is made up of forty one (41 Member General Assembly consisting of twenty seven (27) elected members, fourteen (12) government appointees and the District Chief Executive and one Member of Parliament. The General Assembly has both Deliberative and executive functions presided over by the Presiding Member who is elected by at least Two-thirds of the members of the General Assembly from among themselves. The Assembly works through its Executive Committee and the District Chief Executive as its chairman. The Executive Committee operates through the following sub committees:

1. Development Planning Sub-committee 2. Works Sub-committee 3. Finance and Administration Sub-committee 4. Justice and Security Sub-committee 5. Social Services Sub-committee 6. Agriculture and Environment Sub-committee 7. Women and Children Sub-committee

These sub-committees have the responsibility of deliberating on specific issues related to their area of operation and submitting their recommendations to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee intends presents them to the General Assembly for further deliberations and adoption.

The day to day administration of the District and operationalizing the decisions taken by the General Assembly is undertaken by the Central Administration. These consist of the core staff of the District Assembly and the Decentralized Departments under the leadership of the District Coordinating Director.

With the enactment of the Local Government Act 1993, Act 462, there ought to have been eleven Departments (known as Decentralized Departments) established at the Assembly level but we have only eight. The Departments are:

Central Administration Education Health Finance Works

Agriculture Social Welfare and Community Development NADMO The other Public Institutions not decentralized and operating in the District are:

Ghana Police Service Bureau of National Investigations National Commission for Civic Education Electoral Commission Centre for National Culture Ghana Meteorological Services Department Ghana Postal Services NFED

1.7.46 Sub-District Structures

Town/Area Councils are instrumental in local level development. The District has one Town Council (Kpandai), six Area Councils and 27 Unit Committees. These sub-district structures have temporal staff and are responsible for development activities at the lowest local level.

1.7.47 Problems of District Administration

The main problems of the District Administration machinery include the following:

1. Inadequate staff accommodation 2. Inadequate logistics 3. Lack of incentives for workers 4. Poor revenue generation 5. Inadequate office accommodation 6. Low staff strength (especially Decentralized Departments) 7. Poor level of integration of decentralized departments into the District Assembly System A number of decentralized departments are yet to be established in the District including:

1. Physical Planning Department 2. Industry and trade Department 3. Natural Resource Conservation Department, Forestry, Game and Wild Life Division

1.7.48 Peace, Security and Justice

The District has a Police Station at Kpandai. The police personnel maintain law and order in the various communities. Military detachment at Bimbila supplements the efforts of the District police to maintain peace and order. The District has no court and most cases are sent to Bimbila and Salaga District Courts. The major security problems in the District include the activities of Fulani Herdsmen, leadership problems in terms of the multi ethnic nature of the District’s population which lack clear or established structures or hierarchy

1.7.49 Non Governmental Organizations

The following Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society Organizations and Community Based Organizations are operating in the District:

1.7. 50 Education

The improvement of the Educational sector is paramount to the District development as it is the main determinant of the nature and caliber of its human resource. The table below shows the number of schools in the District.

The District is estimated to have over 250 communities; from the table above it means the District still needs more schools to be established in the communities to make education accessible to every community.

1.7.51 Circuits in the District

From the table below, it could be seen that the distribution of schools is skewed in favour of Kpandai Circuit, which is the District Capital. This implies that more schools are needed to be established in the other circuits especially the Wiae and Lonto Circuits.

1.7.52 Staffing Situation in the Schools

The teacher situation in the District is very bad compare to the Ghana Education Service standards. The table below shows the staffing situation in the schools in the District

Out of 35 teachers at the KG level only 6 of them are trained. It is therefore not acceptable to have very high non-professional teachers at the KG level, if foundation of children’s education is to be very strong. The situation at the primary level is not different, while the total number of teachers is 157; out of this only 54% are trained against 57% untrained. A similar situation prevails at the JHS and SHS levels. It therefore implies that the District should sponsor more teachers into the Teacher Training Colleges to augment the trained teachers situation in the schools.

1.7.53 Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR)

Considering the enrolments at the KG and Primary levels against the total number of teachers, one could see that PTR is at unacceptable levels of 250:1 and 105:1 at KG and Primary respectively. This calls for more teachers in the District. The table below shows the PTR at various educational levels.

1.7.54 Gross Enrolment Rate (GER)

GER measures the total enrolment in a given educational level (irrespective of age) expressed as a percentage of the corresponding official age for that level. Therefore, gross primary school enrolment rate for boys (male) and girls (female) in 2013/2014 academic years are 68.7 and 60.7 respectively. The total district gross primary school enrolment rate is 64.7, implying that more children are still outside the classroom as indicated on the bar graph below. To solve this, the

101

District Education Office needs to embark on the enrolment drive and sanctification in the school communities.

This is the number of pupils who manage to complete JHS 3 in a given year over the number of pupils who enter JHS 1 in that particular year expressed as a percentage. From the graph below, the JHS completion rates for both boys and girls are 80.7 and 60.1 respectively in 2013/2014 academic year. The total JHS completion rate in the district is 70.4 for the same academic year. This implies that the JHS completion rate in the district for JHS is generally high but that of girls is low. There is the need therefore to encourage more girls to be retained in the schools and also encourage more girls to be enrolled.

1.7.55 School Infrastructure

There are a number of on-going and completed school building projects in the district. DDF, GETFund, NORPREP and GSOP fund these projects among others. With the increasing number of school children of school going age, there is the need for more interventions. Supporting facilities like furniture and equipment are still inadequate and in some cases completely lacking. The table below shows schools without standard structures,

1.7.56 School Feeding Programme

Currently there are 20 schools benefitting from the School Feeding Programme in the District. Some of them are:

Kitare Primary Kojobone Primary Kabonwule Almighty International Okyerepe Presby Primary Mbowura D/A Primary Kpandai D/A Primary Katiejeli E/A Primary Wiae Tagbegben Primary Kabeso Presby Primary Kumdi West Bank Primarty

The general challenges of education in the district include: low level of gross enrolment of pupils especially the girl-child, poor and inadequate school infrastructure, inadequate furniture, high percentage of untrained teachers, inadequate teachers accommodation, lack of sanitation facilities at schools, lack of adequate teaching and learning materials, inadequate trained teachers, dormant PTAs and SMCs.

1.7.57 Health Care

The provision of quality health care delivery remains one of the top priorities of the District. However, the existing condition and distribution of Health Facilities is poor leading to poor access to quality health care delivery. 1.7.58 Health Facilities The following are the health facilities available in the District. Kpandai Hospital Kpandai ECG Hospital Oti River Clinic Kitare Clinic Bladjai Clinic Kumdi Clinic Loloto Clinic

Of all the ten health facilities in the District, there is no medical doctor and currently there are only four medical assistants in four of the facilities. The table below shows the health personnel distribution by facility.

1.7.62 Four Top Causes of Maternal Death

In terms of maternal deaths, the following are the four top causes in the District

 Haemorrhage (bleeding)  Eclampsia (pregnancy induced hypertension)  Sepsis (infection after delivery)  Obstructed labour It is worth adding that all the health facilities are concentrated at the urban and semi- urban settlements but 85% of the settlements in the district are rural. In more specific terms about 65% of the populations (consisting of villages that are situated far off the major towns) have limited access to the orthodox system of health delivery. The nature of access roads linking the health facilities to the rural settlements is so poor that it takes the rural dwellers an average of 5 hours travelling time to be able reach the nearest health facility.

106

1.7.63 Challenges of the Health Sector

The health sector is besieged with a number of problems. Among them are:

1. Inadequate health personnel 2. Lack of a district hospital 3. Inadequate residential and office accommodation for health personnel 4. Inadequate logistics 5. Inadequate health facilities 6. Poor road network 7. Lack of ambulance services

1.7.64 Vulnerability Analysis

The analysis of the fundamental issues of vulnerability in relation to it causal factors as well as its relation to some sections of the population such as women and children, persons with disabilities, HIV positive persons, the extreme poor and the destitute will inform policy direction of the District towards designing programmes that will address their concerns.

The district abounds with a number of factors that predispose its population to one risk or the other. Most of these factors are natural while others are manmade. Analysis of the current situation of the District revealed that drought or rain failure is one of the factors that predispose the people to the risk of food insecurity. Crop failure is common during years of drought and the people who are mostly peasant farmers suffer severe forms of hunger. Small scale rearing of cattle, goats, sheep and poultry are kept as alternative social security against periods of drought and lean season. Other phenomenon of significant threat to the people includes floods. Sometimes floods could raze the whole village down. The building pattern and the roofing materials in most of the communities including sections of the District capital predispose the communities to the risk of fire outbreaks and floods.

The combined effects of these factors make the district very vulnerable to acute food shortages, fire disaster, cholera and other diseases including malaria. Women, children, the aged, the physically challenged etc are the worst affected. Women and Children are less resilient to the risk of acquiring sicknesses. Women lack equal access to productive resources such as land as their male counterparts. They are the least educated in the formal sector and the worst placed in terms of opportunities for alternative sources of employment.

A further analysis of the social setups of the indigenous people reveals a sense of declining family ties and this has negative implications on the traditional social security system especially for the aged, the physically challenged, Orphans and persons infected with HIV/AIDS. There is

107

a growing feeling of individualism among the people and this gradually weakening the social security system.

1.7.65 Information Communication Technology

1.7.65.1 Ownership of Mobile Phones

Population 12 years and older by sex, mobile phone ownership and Internet facility usage is presented on table 5.1. The population who are twelve years and older is 65,270 of which 32,556 are males representing 49.9 percent. The females in this age category are 32,714 representing 50.1 percent. The proportion of population who have mobile phones in the district is 13.7 percent. This means that the use of mobile phones in the very low. A total of 8,956 people have mobile phones. Out of this, 6,454 of them are males representing 72.1 percent. The remaining 2,502 are females representing 27.9 percent, which shows that many males have mobile phones than the females in the district. 1.7.65.2 The Use of Internet

Population 12 years and older by sex, mobile phone ownership and Internet facility usage is represented in table 1.44. The proportion of the population using Internet facility in the district is 0.5 percent, which translates to 535 persons. The numbers of males who use Internet facility in the district are 216 representing 61.2 percent. On the other hand, a total of 137 females representing 38.8 percent also use Internet facility in the district. Like ownership of mobile phones, there is male dominance in the use of Internet facility.

Household ownership of fixed telephone by sex of head is presented on table 5.2. The proportion of households who have fixed telephone lines is 0.2 percent. A total of 26 households in the district have fixed telephone lines. Twenty-four of them representing 92.3 percent are male- headed household. Females head the remaining 2 households representing 7.7 percent. Once again, males head many households who have fixed telephone lines in the district.

1.7.65.4 Household Ownership of Desktop or Laptop Computer

1.7.66 HIV & AIDS

There exist in the district institutional structures for fighting HIV/AIDS. These are the District AIDS Committee and District Response Initiative and Management Team.

However, they are not active on ground due to inadequate funding of their activities. In spite of all these numerous challenges, some education and campaigns are on-going on stigmatization, prevention and control as well as awareness creation among the people in the district. Also, know your status campaigns were carried out in the District.

Unlike other districts, the district has recorded few incidences of HIV/AIDS cases this may be due to the fact that people are not willing to go for the test.

The total number of reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the district in 2009 was 15 patients with 6 out of the 15 patients coming from Kitare which by this will constitutes the higher risk area in the District. PmTCT services had started in the antenatal clinics by trained counsellors.

1.7.67 Gender Analysis

One of the key targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by the year 2025. It was adopted by 189 nations-and signed by 147 heads of state and governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000 (UN, 2000). This target would be a mirage particularly when a significant majority of the rural women are the poorest, deprived and not incorporated into development programmes of nations. It has been realized in recent times that poverty and conflicts have become the bane of Africa’s under development. Successive governments over the years have developed and implemented programmes aimed at reducing abject poverty, conflict, illiteracy and disease. However, these have yielded little or no desired results.

The Convention on the Elimination of All forms Of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW): Article 14 (1) calls on states to take account of particular problems faced by women and the significant role that rural women play in the economic survival of families, including work in non- monetized sectors of the economy. Article 14 (2) also calls for measures to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women in rural areas including their rights to enjoy adequate living conditions. Ghana was one of the countries that ratified the CEDAW. Unfortunately not much has been done to improve the general well being of the women in District, especially those living in rural.

110

The Beijing Platform for Action calls on governments to promote knowledge of and sponsor research on the role of women, particularly in rural areas in food gathering and production among others.

The United Nations Convention on Education and Development (UNCED) Agenda 21 calls on governments to consider putting in place strategies to eliminate all constitutional, legal, administrative as well as cultural obstacles hindering women’s participation in sustainable development.

The Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy document, estimated that about 39 percent of Ghanaians are poor and about 27 percent are extremely poor. Poverty among food producing farmers was estimated at about 59 percent, this includes rural women. (NDPC, 2001) The Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS) document was designed as a comprehensive policy measure to reduce poverty and support growth over a three-year period spanning 2002-2004. It was later revised to cover the period 2003-2005. The goal of the GPRS I&II was to ensure sustainable equitable growth, accelerated poverty reduction and the protection of the rights of the vulnerable and excluded within a decentralized democratic environment. The implementation of the GPRS II ended in 2009. However, there are still high levels of poverty especially among the rural women in the Kpandai District.

Again, the Ghana Statistical Survey in its publication ‘Poverty Trends in Ghana in the 1990s’ states that by geographical disparities, 5 out of the 10 regions in Ghana had more than 40 percent of the population living in poverty as at 1999.The worst affected were the three northern savannah regions. A similar situation prevails in Ghana where female-headed households are estimated to be hard hit in terms of extreme poverty (GSS, 2000).

According to the United Nations, women constitute half of the world's population, perform nearly two thirds of the work, receive one tenth of the world's income and own less than one hundredth of the world's property. Gender equity is a benchmark of a healthy society. In developing countries hit hard by structural adjustment policies such as Ghana, 2/3 of the children who do not go to school are girls, and 2/3 of the world's illiterate people are women.

111

The centrality of gender is increasingly recognized and is articulated in many documents and fora which confirm that gender-based inequality limits economic growth in of a country, and that it is essential for Kpandai District to unleash the enormous productive potential of its women. It is also increasingly recognized that poverty in District has strong gender dimensions, which need to be addressed explicitly.

While women retain the responsibility of maintaining the household, more and more women are moving into the paid labor market, often working for lower wages and under worse conditions than men. This results in what is referred to as women's “double burden”. Women are the main source from which community survival strategies and positive social alternatives emanate. Women's active participation in community solutions to the lack of government services, results in a "triple burden" of job, household and community work. This situation analysis does not intend to underestimate the valuable contributions of men. Suffice to say that men and women should be given equal opportunity to contribute to development and have equity in the benefits of development.

It has also been realized that Violence against women has been, and continues to be, a violation of human rights that is perpetuated by gender inequities in social, political and economic systems. Three out of ten women in Ghana have suffered violence in one form or the order including women from Kpandai district. Efforts to eliminate violence and promote peaceful coexistence are therefore expedient.

Governments should adopt and implement appropriate laws that protect women's rights and promote gender equity. The Government of Ghana enactment of the domestic violence Act 732 (2007) and the establishment of the Domestic violence and Victims Support Unit of the police service are in this direction appropriate. Governments should respect and support autonomous women's initiatives and organizations.

All social and economic movements (including solidarity groups) should adopt and implement strategies that promote gender equity within their groups and ensure protection of women's rights in their work.

112

In Kpandai District for instance, farmlands are owned by the traditional authorities/rulers and some lands are family owned and are therefore inherited by family members.

Also, in terms of gender, men who control both the physical and natural resources whilst few women have access to farmlands own majority of the farmlands. Children (both boys and girls) do not own land at all.

1.7.68 Environment, Climate Change and Green Economy

The area experiences one seasonal rainfall. The period is characterised with heavy rainfall thereby perennial floods especially area closer to both river oti and White Volta tributaries. The vegetative cover is very thick which makes the District endowed with fertile soils enhancing its food basket status.

1.7.69 Summary of Key Development Problems, Issues and Gaps Identified from Performance Review Situational Analysis

2.3 District Development Priorities

The following issues were prioritized by consensus at stakeholders’ workshop under the seven thematic areas of the GSGDA 2014-2017. The prioritized issues were arrived at using the following criteria:

Impact of an issue on the larger proportion of the District population The issue’s linkage effect on meeting basic human needs or rights The multiplier effects of an issue on the local economy The district development priorities were therefore linked to the pillars of the GSGDA 2014-2017 as presented below:

 Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability  Enhancing Competitiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector  Accelerated Agriculture Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resource Management  Oil and Gas Development  Infrastructure, Energy and Human Settlements  Human Development, Productivity and Employment  Transparent and Accountable Governance

2.4 Application of Potentials, Opportunities, Constraints and Challenges of District Priority Issues

To enhance the formulation of appropriate strategies so as to achieve more implementation-oriented programmes of action, the district development priorities were subjected to further analysis of potentials, opportunities, constraints and challenges.

CHAPTER THREE

3.1 District Development Goal, Development Projections, Objectives and Strategies

3.2 District Development Goal

Having informed by the district current situation and within the framework of the GSGDA 2014-2017 (National Goal: ‘addressing the economic imbalances, re-stabilizing the economy and placing it on the path of sustained accelerated growth and poverty reduction towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals and middle income status’), the Development Goal for the District that will guide the implementation of the Medium Term Development plan shall be:

3.3 Development Projections for 2014-2017

The Development prospects for the planned period provide the framework for implementation arrangements. It assesses the adequacy of the existing number of facilities/services based on the GSGDA projections and indicators under the seven thematic areas. Projections for the plan period (2014-2017) have been highlighted on the ensuing sections.

3.4 Population Projections

Population is an integral variable in all the planning endeavours. This is because it is both a consequence and determinant of development. Human resources and needs vary according to the size, composition and distribution of the population. It is for these reasons that the population projections for the planned period have been made to facilitate the calculation of services and facilities needed for the period. Using a growth rate of 2.1% (2010 PHC) and the 2010 base year’s population of 108,816 people the arithmetic and geometric models were applied in estimating the populations for the planned period.

The model used was based on the following assumptions:

 Population growth rate will remain constant  Net migration will be zero  Fertility will remain unchanged  The age-sex structure will remain the same over the planned period

140

The outcome of the population projections for the plan period is shown below

3.9 Health projections

3.10 Demand for Doctors

By the planning standards, the doctor/patient ratio should be 1:10,000 for quality health care to be realized. With the non-availability of medical doctor in the district, it therefore means that the doctor-patient ratio for the plan period (2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017) will be

0: 118,792, 0: 121,312, 0: 123,887 and 0: 126,515 respectively. There is therefore the need for concerted efforts to attract and retain more doctors into the District. The table below shows the projected demand for doctors in the planned period.

4.7 Indicative Financial Plan

4.8 Introduction

This section of DMTDP presents the projected resources that will be required to facilitate the execution of the programmes and projects over the plan period and the key strategies for mobilizing such resources. It also outlines the projected expenditures as per sectors of the district development.

4.9 Summary of DMTDP Cost

The realization of the medium term goal and objectives over the planned period (2014-2017) is estimated at Nineteen Million and Sixty Nine Thousand Ghana Cedis (Gh¢19, 69,000.00). This figure represents the quantification in monetary terms of all expected input of the various activities to be pursued by the Plan. This amount is to be mobilized through the combined efforts of the District Assembly and its Development partners including direct transfers from Central Government.

4.10 Strategies for Mobilizing Funds

The strategies for mobilizing the needed funds will include:

 Intensive collection of Internally Generated Funds

 Identification of prospective donors and designing development proposal to meet donor criterion

 Intensify efforts to continue to qualify for DDFs

4.11 Financial Control Mechanisms

The control mechanisms that will be employed by the District shall include limiting expenditure to only items duly planned and budgeted for during the planning period. In addition, financial expenditure shall be subjected to internal and external systems as spelt out in the Financial Administrative Regulation (FAR), Financial Memoranda, and the Public Procurement Act among others. The Assembly expenditure shall also be discussed with the public during the quarterly expenditure accountability fora.

The financial plan has taken due cognizance of addressing the practical needs of men, women and vulnerable social groups identified in the District Situation Analysis. The internal and the external resources are to be channelled in addressing such needs.

CHAPTER FIVE

5.1 District Annual Action Plan

The Departments and Agencies of Kpandai District Assembly, NGOs, Private sector and the beneficiary communities phase out the composite District programme of action into Annual Action Plans that are to be implemented.

In view of resource constraints, the selection of projects for the implementation in the first year of the planning period (2014-2017) is guided by the following considerations.

Continuation of on-going projects Previous years planned projects which were not implemented Projects serving as basis for the improvement of productive activities in the District Projects which will help strengthen the institutional capacities

It is anticipated that implementation of the annual plans would serve as inputs for the successful implementation of the 2014-2017 Medium Term Plan and the consequent realization of the District goal and objectives.

CHAPTER SIX

6.1 Monitoring & Evaluation Arrangements

Monitoring will form an integral part of the plan implementation and will involve both the process and the approach. Monitoring will start from the initial phase through to the final evaluation. Participatory methodology will be the main tool for the monitoring process and will involve all stakeholders at different levels and on regular basis

At the District level, the DPCU is responsible for undertaking monitoring and evaluation activities together with the sector agencies. The DPCU is specifically responsible for the design of monitoring and evaluation procedures as well as monitoring and evaluation plans. Again it is required to provide an oversight overall district level monitoring and evaluation of district development programmes.

Unlike monitoring, evaluation will be conducted in greater detail at the project level. Ex-post facto evaluation will be carried out purposely to assess whether the resources invested have produced or are producing the desired results in terms of impacts, and whether the benefits are reaching the intended target beneficiaries.

The monitoring and evaluation of the plan will use the already existing structures at the District level and will be integrated into the overall monitoring and evaluation plan of the District.

In communicating the results with the partners and other stakeholders, the following outlines of monitoring and evaluation report will be used.
