Since 1983, IRI has worked to develop democratic institutions and ideals, carrying out a variety of international programs to promote freedom, self-government and the rule of law worldwide. IRI provides technical assistance in the areas of political party strengthening, developing civic institutions and open elections, promoting democratic governance and advancing the rule of law. IRI seeks to work with a public opinion firm to conduct quantitative public opinion polling on violent extremism and community resilience to the phenomenon in northern border communities of Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, and Benin and southern border communities of Burkina Faso. Period of Performance Date of signature to February 28, 2022. Statement of Work Subnational surveys in 5 countries in Africa (Littoral States) Objectives of the Research: Public opinion data shall be obtained through a survey of specific areas in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Benin, and Burkina Faso that is designed to obtain the most accurate possible information about: (a) Risk factors in violent extremism, (b) Trends of violent extremism (c) Conflict government performance. Research Tasks: (1) General Responsibilities of Bidder. The bidder shall be responsible for the project design and execution, including the following specific tasks: • translation, formatting, pretesting, adaptation, and printing of questionnaires (unless using CAPI devices); A nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing democracy worldwide • development of a Sampling Plan, to be based a multistage stratified plan; list and explain any geographic or other exclusions; the proposed Sampling Plan will be reviewed by IRI and any further changes agreed upon by IRI and Bidder will be incorporated; • training supervisors and interviewers; • arranging and supervising all aspects of fieldwork, including back-checks; • entering and processing the survey data, including data cleaning and encoding survey responses; • ascertaining the representativeness of the sample and weighting the data, if necessary; • Statistical analysis of findings and writing an 3-5 page analytic report to place the findings within the local political and other context. (2) Questionnaire. IRI will provide a draft questionnaire in English and the bidder will provide input, such as a need for rephrasing certain terms for local context. IRI requests translation into: List of Countries: Country Language(s) Ghana Akan, Dagbani, Kasem Côte d’Ivoire French, Koulango, Senoufo, Lobi, Diola, Malinke Togo French, Ewé, Kabiyé Benin French, Bariba, Hausa Burkina Faso French, Moore, Diola, Gourmantche, Dagbani, Senoufo NOTE: These are the languages that IRI believes are necessary to cover the geographic areas detailed in section (3). If the bidder believes some of these are not required, please list your proposed translation languages in the proposal and explain why you believe not all of IRI’s listed languages are required. Translations will be reviewed and approved by IRI. For PAPI, full versions should be printed and interviewers should be allowed to code the questionnaire in the interview language. If CAPI devices are used, at least the main interview language must be programmed into CAPI—only programming in English (unless English is the main interview language) is not sufficient. The questionnaire may call for showcards, which need to be printed in all translated languages. The estimated average interview duration is 45 minutes. (3) Sample Design. IRI requires a sample of adults n=1,500 per country, age 18 or older. In each country, the sample shall be distributed as follows across specific geographic areas only, as per the following distribution of interviews. Planned exclusions from this sample distribution must be addressed in the proposal.

Sampling points within each Commune to be drawn randomly. The sample scenarios outlined above are based on IRI’s review of census data. If the bidder has any reason to question the validity of using this data for the sample distribution, it must be raised in the proposal. The sample shall be drawn using recognized probability methods, all the way down to the selection of the individual respondent at the household level. In the event that any departure from probability sampling methods is recommended by the bidder for all or any part of the survey, the sampling methodologies to be employed shall be described in detail and a rationale for their use shall be provided. IRI’s general preferred sampling approach is: Stage 1: see above for each country Stage 2: Random selection of Sampling Points (no more than 10 interviews per Sampling Point) within each Stage 1 stratum Stage 3: Random route household selection within each Sampling Point. Starting point within Sampling Point ideally randomly determined by satellite map or GPS coordinates. Stage 4: Random selection of respondent within each selected household by KISH grid or last/next birthday method. A detailed sampling plan (template provided by IRI) shall be submitted to the IRI prior to fieldwork, including a description of the survey coverage, allocation of the sample, description of the sampling frame, description of any stratification criteria to be used, description of the stages of selection and the selections methods to be used at each stage, a definition of the Sampling Points and approximate number of interviews to be conducted within each Sampling Point, the method to be used for selection of the respondent at the household level, an explanation for any divergence from use of the KISH grid for respondent selection, and call-back rules to be employed. It is assumed that the sample will be distributed in proportion to the population of each region or other geographic unit to be surveyed; in the event that the bidder wishes to propose a sample design departing from this principle the proposal should describe the allocation to be used and the reasons for doing so.

    REGIONAL ANALYTICAL REPORT UPPER EAST REGION Ghana Statistical Service June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Ghana Statistical Service Prepared by: ZMK Batse Festus Manu John K. Anarfi Edited by: Samuel K. Gaisie Chief Editor: Tom K.B. Kumekpor 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.

Our aim is to understand the nature of hazards (their Available online xxxx frequency, magnitude and duration) and how they cumulatively affect humans. Primary data were collected using questionnaires, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and personal observations. Secondary data were collected from documents and reports. Calculations of the standard precipitation index (SPI) and crop failure index used rainfall data from 4 weather stations (Manga, Binduri, Vea and Navrongo) and crop yield data of 5 major crops (maize, sorghum, millet, rice and groundnuts) respectively. Temperature and windstorms were analysed from the observed weather data. We found that tempera- tures were consistently high and increasing. From the SPI, drought frequency varied spa- tially from 9 at Binduri to 13 occurrences at Vea; dry spells occurred at least twice every year and floods occurred about 6 times on average, with slight spatial variations, during 1988–2012, a period with consistent data from all stations.

  • Bawku West District
    BAWKU WEST DISTRICT Copyright © 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 Bawku West 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.

Introduction Côte d'Ivoire (CI) and Mali concur with converging strategies as evidenced by the programs for development and facilitation of transport and inter-state road transit initiated under the aegis of WAEMU and ECOWAS. These strategies are aimed, inter alia at: (i) structuring the productive activities to improve competitiveness by reducing input costs, including transports; (ii) harmonizing the legal and regulatory framework for road transport through the adoption of common standards in terms of procedures, monitoring and documents. At the regional level, the community roads Cu21 and Cu6 were identified as major trunk roads of which quality improvement will enable to promote trade and exchanges between Mali and Côte d'Ivoire but also provide direct access to the port of San Pedro to some areas of Côte d'Ivoire with high agricultural potential but difficult to access particularly Boundiali, Kani etc.
