After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Ghana in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Ghana for their close cooperation extended to the teams.

  • Access to Maternal Healthcare Services Under the National Health Insurance Policy in the Upper West Region, Ghana Ibrahim Abu Abdulai and Abdul-Moomin Adams
    Chapter Access to Maternal Healthcare Services under the National Health Insurance Policy in the Upper West Region, Ghana Ibrahim Abu Abdulai and Abdul-Moomin Adams Abstract Health insurance coverage provides the spring board for pregnant women to access and utilise maternal healthcare services. Yet, studies on health insurance coverage, access and utilisation of maternal healthcare are a handful. Consequently, this study examines women’s access and utilisation of maternal healthcare services under the free maternal health policy in two districts in northern Ghana. The study adopted the mixed research approach with the aid of the cross-sectional design involving 212 respondents. An interview schedule was utilised in the collection of data. Percentages, Chi-square test for independence and Mann-Whitney U test as well as thematic analysis were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that 93.9% of the respondents had enrolled unto the national health insurance scheme and 98.6% of them went for antennal care. Majority (66.5%) of them had facility- based delivery. However, 79.7% of them incur cost in seeking delivery care. In brief, health insurance coverage appears to contribute to improved access and utilisation of maternal healthcare services in the two districts. Nonetheless, the government should provide the basic items that are needed for delivery to lessen the cost burden associated with facility-based delivery. Keywords: healthcare, health, insurance, maternal, Ghana 1. Introduction Access to healthcare including maternal healthcare services drives public health policies across the globe [1–3]. According to Ribot [4], access connotes the ability to make use of a resource.

China 3.National Headquarters, Ghana National Ambulance Service, Greater Accra, P. O. Box MB 423, Accra, Ghana 4.WA Municipal Health Administration, Ghana Health Service, Upper West Region, P.O. Box 321, WA, Ghana Abstract Women’s role in community development has become crucial and critical in contemporary times. It is in the light of this that women’s involvement in governance and decision-making is paramount to the realization of this social objective. Despite the benefits that communities stand to gain if women were incorporated into local governance and decision-making, women still face barrage of discrimination at various levels of social and political discourse. Traditional social structures have tendered to place women in the subservient position in relation to men and hence making such societies patriarchal in nature. Even though women generally outnumbered men in Ghana (PHC, 2010), their numerical strength does not transform their power positions as they themselves have come to accept their traditional placements without question. This has led to the deep institutionalization of women’s role at the margin of society.

  • Wa East District Assembly Funsi Annual Progress
    MNISTRY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT WA EAST DISTRICT ASSEMBLY FUNSI ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 2016 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FEBRUARY, 2017 District Location and Size The Wa East district was carved out of the former Wa District and made a district by L.I 1746 in July 2004. The district is located in the south eastern part of the Upper West region. Funsi, the district capital is about 115km away from Wa which is the regional capital. The district shares boundaries with West Mamprusi to the northwest, West Gonja to southeast, Wa Municipality to the Southwest, Nadowli to the North east and the Sissala East districts to the north. The districts’ closeness to West Mamprusi and West Gonja in the Northern region could promote inter regional trade when well linked by road. It has a landmass of about 3,196.4km², which is located between latitudes 9º 55”n and 10º 25”n and longitude 1º 10”w and 2º 5”w. The district occupies 17.3% of the total landmass of the region (18,478.4Km2). The remoteness of the district relative to other districts of the region has deprived it of the needed investment from the private sector which has led to woefully, inadequate basic social and economic infrastructure and services. Topography and Drainage The topography of the district could be described as gently undulating. Generally, the district is located about 180 meters above sea level with a few isolated hills. The relative plain topography is suitable for road construction, distribution of utility lines and general construction works.

  • HAYTAFORD Harnessing Youthful Talents for Rural Development
    HAYTAFORD Harnessing Youthful Talents for Rural Development PROPOSAL IN SUPPORT OF A PROJECT VEHICLE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WORK IN UPPER WEST REGION OF GHANA Introduction This proposal seeks assistance for a project vehicle in order to increase HAYTAFORD’s outreach support to improve the community and education lives of poor people in Wa East district and other inaccessible communities in the Upper West Region of Ghana. Focus of HAYTAFORD HAYTAFORD is a youth led local NGO which has been working closely with local based structures at the community level. HAYTAFORD complements the efforts of government in the provision of quality basic education for all children especially those at the basic level. HAYTAFORD's work is based on the conviction that providing school infrastructure, recruiting teachers and sending children to school alone will not ensure quality basic education for all. There is the need to empower and involve all stakeholders particularly Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs), School Management Committees (SMCs), Chiefs and Assembly persons at the grassroots in school planning, decision making local education policy formulation, implementation and monitoring of the benefits. The intervention of HAYTAFORD as a civil society organization is progressively increasing particularly in the Upper West Region. From a humble beginning of one district (Nadowli) we now reach out to four districts namely Nadowli/Kaleo, Daffiamah /Bussie /Issah, Wa municipal and Wa East). HAYTAFORD has a broad based constituents who are mostly very committed and people interested in their development though they are poor. We represent some of the most vulnerable groups notably over 1,000 Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) in Nadowli District alone, children and poor girls.
