These departments are headed by the Metropolitan Co-ordinating Director. Legally the KMA should have 22 departments, corresponding to the 22 decentralised gaveroment ministries. However, this decentralisation process has nat yet been completed. As a result, the departments are caught with conflicting interests. They owe loyalty to bath the ministries and the KMA (Heijman, Langendijk, 1997, p.8). At present the following 16 departments should be already established: 1. Central Administration Department 2. Finance Department 3. Education, Youth and Sports Department 4. Metropolifan Health Department 5. Waste Management Department 6. Agriculture Department 7. Physical Planning Department 8. Social Welfare and Community Development Department 9. Natoral Resources Conservation Department 10. Works Department 11. Industry and Trade Department 12. Budget and Rating Department 13. Legal Department 14. Transport Department 15. Disaster Prevention Department 16. Urban Roads Department (Heijman, Langendijk, 1997, p.48). The italicized departments are the only ones established as far as I know. The districts are the basic units in the decentralised planning system and District Assemblies (DAs) will ultimately be responsible for all development programmes, other than those that , by their nature, can only be implemented at nationallevel. Every DA should have a District Planning and co­ ordinating unit (DPCU) to support its activities. Apart from the DPCU staff, a DA should also be able to call on the services of sector specialists, belonging to one of the 22 central government departments which have been decentralised. In practice, very few of these have been absorbed into the DA's staff. It must be concluded that at present planning capabilities at all levels, sectoral, regional and district, are inadequate for a smooth implementation of plans (Vision 2020, p.29). Appendix 1.2 Research Topics 1.2 Research Topics In the update of the agreement between the collaborating parties, the collaboration is set to cover the period 1998-1999 with the possibility of further extension. An updated list of research topics is identified, covering the following subjects: a) Economy of the metropolitan area; b) Land use; c) Transportation; d) Urban management; e) Urban public transport (remaining from the previous list); and f) Environmental impact of major industriallocations. Ad c A study of the problems of the emerging traffic conges ti on on the approach roads to the city centre Ad e an investigation into the frictions between supply and demand for urban public transport and the capacities of public and private companies to del i ver public transportation services with special emphasis on the public transportation needs generated by vital urban facilities (hospitals, schools). 2 Appendix 2.2 Literature list 1 KUMASI 1.
