EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. GENERAL BACKGROUND TO THE PREPARATION OF THE DISTRICT

MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN (DMTDP)

The National Development Planning Commission mandated all the District Assemblies in the country to

prepare four – year Medium Term Development Plans to cover 2014 – 2017 which will be the basis for

Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA 2010-2013) in the country.

In view of this, the District Planning Co-ordinating Unit was mandated for the preparation of the

document as prescribed under the section (2) 1 and 3 of the National Development Planning Act 1994

(Act 480). The District Planning Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU), served as the secretariat to the task force

with the District Planning Officer as the Secretary under the direction of the District Co-ordinating

Director.

For an excellent document to be produced, series of meetings were held to brainstorm on the guidelines

issued by NDPC under the Medium-Term Development Policy Framework (2014-2017). The main aims

of the meetings were to ensure that members understood the guidelines and know the roles that they

were expected to play.

To ensure holistic approach to planning process, the Plan Preparation Team reviewed the Medium Term

Development Plan for 2010-2013. Highlight issues under the Ghana Shared Growth and Development

Agenda (GSGDA 2014-2017) also taken into account during the plan preparation. The District profile

was also scrutinized through focus group discussions.

To ensure that an all-inclusive plan is produced, the current state of development was critically analysed

so as to know existing District structures. The tools of POCC analysis was also adopted and used. With

the afore-mentioned areas as the background of the plan, the Medium-Term Development Policy

Framework served as the catalyst to serve as many as possible development interventions for co-

ordinated priority programmes.

B. A BRIEF INSIGHT INTO THE SCOPE AND DIRECTION OF

INTERVENTIONS FOR 2014 – 2017.

The plan has a wide scope involving all the seven thematic areas under the Medium-Term National

Development Policy Framework. The thematic areas include the following;

1. ENSURING AND SUSTAINING MACROECONOMIC STABILITY

2. INFRASTRUCTURE AND HUMAN SETTLEMENTS DEVELOPMENT

.


11

3. ACCELERATED AGRICULTURE MODERNIZATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE

MANAGEMENT

4. ENHANCED COMPETITIVENESS OF GHANA’S PRIVATE SECTOR

5. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, EMPLOYMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY

6. TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE

7. OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT

CHAPTER ONE

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND DISTRICT PROFILE

1.1 REVIEW OF DMTDP (2010-2013)

Adansi North District was created and inaugurated on the 19th of August 2004 by the Legislative

Instrument (L.I) 1758, 2004. It was carved out of the former Adansi West and Adansi East now Obuasi

District and the Adansi South District Assemblies with Fomena as the District capital.

The Adansi North district was mandated by the National Development Planning Commission to draw

the Medium Term Development Plan for the Assembly.

The objective of this was to facilitate the harmonization and rationalization of development strategies

initiated from the communities, districts and national levels. The preparation of the Medium Term

Development Plans was based on the (7) Thematic Areas of the GSGDA; this is anchored on the

following themes:

Ensuring and sustaining macroeconomic stability;

Infrastructure, energy and human settlements development

Accelerated agricultural modernisation and natural resource management;

Enhanced competitiveness of Ghana’s private sector;

Human development, employment and productivity; and

Transparent and Accountable Governance.

Oil and gas development;

Besides these Thematic Areas, other interventions were also carried out.

a. ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PREVIOUS PLAN

In January 2014, the Adansi North District Assembly undertook a review of their District Medium-Term

Development Plan for 2009-2013. The purpose of the review was to ascertain if the planned

programmes and projects had met the targeted focus of the district. The review was undertaken by

assessing each project with respect to its goals, objectives, strategies, implementation status, and the

basis for its status.

In order to have a fair assessment of the extent of implementation of the proposed programmes and

projects, in terms of whether they were fully implemented, partially implemented or not implemented,

the District Plan Preparation Team met to review the Development Plan under the three thematic areas.

Based on the review of the DMTDP (2010-2013), 63 projects were planned for 2010-2013. Of those

projects, 10 were fully implemented, 9were partially implemented, 6 were on-going and 38 were not

implemented at all.

b. ACHIEVEMENT OF SET GOAL, OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS:

In terms of performance by percentages, 15.9% of the projects were fully implemented, 14.3% were

partially implemented, 9.5% were on-going and 60.3% were not implemented at all.


13

There were other programmes and projects that were unknown at the time of preparing the previous

Plan but were implemented which have positive impact on the people. Looking at the analysis below

there had been a tremendous positive impact on the lives of the people in the district.

d. REASONS FOR DEVIATION REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF SET GOAL

A lot of factors hindered the District from implementing the projects outlined in the Development Plan.

Some of the reasons are as follows:

1. Lack of Political Will on the part of the leadership to complete of the Office Block Complex for the

District as well as overambitious design which is affecting the pace of work on that project.

2. The late Release of Funds meant for development also affected the implementation of some of the

projects. The District Assemblies Common Fund which is the main source of funds for development in

the district was always released late as well as unknown deductions at source which has serious

implications on programmes and projects outlined in the plan.

3. The establishment of the Adansi North District itself also created problems for the carrying out of some

projects. This is because; the district still has a lot of things to be put in place before the district could

function effectively. For instance, vehicles had to be procured to make the officers of the district mobile

and effective, accommodation for some of the Staff of the Assembly had to be provided. There was also

the need to provide Office accommodation and equipment such as computers, tables, chairs, etc. All

these projects were at the disadvantaged of other programmes and projects in other thematic areas.

4. Poor Performance of the District in the Internally Generated Fund (I.G.F.) was also partly responsible for

the non implementation of some of the projects. The performance of a District in the Internally

Generated Funds is one of the major criteria for the sharing of the District Assemblies Common Fund

and once the district’s performance is poor, its share of the Common Fund is also on a low side. See

(Budget for details).


21

5. Untimely release of DACF and huge mandatory deductions at source by the Administrator of D.A.C.F.

also accounted partly for the deviations. Most of the time, some amount of money is deducted at source

which, as much as possible, affects implementation of programmes and projects. For instance in the

First Quarter of 2009 District Assemblies Common Fund, out of GH¢442,005.42 meant for the district

an amount of GH¢255,543.69 was deducted at source. The deductions were to cater for training,

NALAG Dues, National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP), Fumigation, Waste Management,

Dairies, etc.

7. One of the setbacks of the district is the many chieftaincy disputes which have partly contributed to the

partial implementation of some projects, especially the Donor Funded ones. This is because in some of

the projects, the communities are expected to support with either communal labour or contribute

towards the cost of the projects in the form of counterpart funding. Regrettably, some of the

communities are burdened with numerous chieftaincy disputes and this makes it difficult to raise funds

to support developmental projects. Presently, towns like Fomena, Bodwesango, Akrokerri, Ayaase and

many others which have strong link with the Adansi Traditional Council are without chiefs.

e. LESSONS LEARNT WHICH HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NEW PLAN

1. Chieftaincy as an institution in the modern day Governance is supposed to aid development. However,

Chieftaincy in the Adansi North District is saddled with a lot of problems. It is therefore the wish of the

Authorities of the District that the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Culture should embark on sensitization

outreach so that the chiefs will see themselves as partners of development and therefore should not

allow disputes to deny their subjects of developments.

2. In terms of revenue mobilization, frantic efforts are being made to get Permanent Revenue Collectors

recruited to help increase revenue collection in the district. Presently, the revenue staff is dominated by

Commissioned Collectors who are not motivated enough to demonstrate the level of commitment that

the district expects from them to collect the much needed revenue for the district. This unfortunate

situation has unfavourably affected the revenue mobilization of the district, and it has gone a long way

to negatively affect the share of the District Assemblies Common Fund to the district. The Assembly is

therefore working hard to remedy the situation, therefore workshops and training are being organised

under the District Development Facility (DDF) for the few revenue collectors in order to sharpen their

skills to enable them collect more.

3. Vigorous Educational and Sensitization Campaigns must be embarked upon by the District Assembly

before programmes and projects are outdoor by Donors in the district. This will make the intended

beneficiaries know exactly what is expected of them in terms of the cost sharing element in them.

4. Institutions/Departments such as the District Water and Sanitation Team, the National Commission for

Civic Education, Community Development, Social Welfare, District Water Boards, and Civic Society

Groups must be assisted and supported to re-awaken communal spirit and sense of patriotism by our

community members.

5. Lack of Political Will on the part of the Assembly is now a thing of the past. The Leadership of the

district are committed and are ready to implement programmes and projects as and when they come to

achieve whatever target that will be set in the District Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP).

1.2 REVIEW OF OTHER INTERVENTIONS It must be noted that various interventions such as the Rural Water Supply Project IV (RWSPIV),

Community Based Rural Development Project (CBRDP), Rural Enterprise Project (REP) and the

Business Advisory Centre (BAC) etc., were incorporated into the Medium Term Plan. Hence, in

assessing the projects implemented, they were taken into account.

1.3 PROFILE OF ADANSI NORTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

SITUATION

INTRODUCTION

Adansi North District is one of the 216 districts in Ghana. It is one of the 27 Administrative districts in

Ashanti Region. The District was created by Legislative Instrument (LI 1758) dated 17th February,

2004. The Adansi North District was carved out of two former Districts namely; Adansi East and

Adansi west now Adansi South and Obuasi District Assembly respectively.

1.3 (a) OUR VISION

The vision of the Assembly is to become an excellent governmental Institution that is well resourced

with qualified and highly motivated personnel dedicated management of the scarce resources of the

assembly to improve the living standards of our people as our people as contribution to the growth and

poverty reduction of Ghana.

1.3 (b) OUR MISSION

The mission of the Adansi North District Assembly is to improve the quality of life of the people in

partnership with major stakeholders through the formulation of sound policies and the executing of

projects and programmes in areas of poverty reduction, human resource and infrastructural

development. To achieve this, the Assembly has set-up the following objectives:

To facilitate the effective functioning of local government administration;

To ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the use of resources of the Assembly and decentralized

departments;

To monitor, co-ordinate and harmonize the implementation of development plans and activities;

To facilitate the provision of basic social services and economic infrastructure; and

To facilitate community-based and private sector development of the District.

1.3 (c) OUR OBJECTIVE

Our objective is to work in partnership with all Stakeholders, Traditional Rulers, and Local Government

structures to ensure community based sustainable development.

I. PHYSICAL AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

a. LOCATION AND SIZE

The district is located between Longitude 1.50 W and latitude 6.30 N. The district therefore falls within

a typical Tropical region of Africa, which characteristically experiences high temperatures and high

rainfall throughout the year. This puts the Adansi North District into a Semi-Equatorial climatic region.

The Adansi North District covers an area of approximately 1140 sq km representing about 4.7% of the

total area of Ashanti Region. The district is bounded in the South –West by Obuase District, in the

South by Adansi South District, in South-East by Bosome Freho District, in the North-East by Bekwai

District Assembly and in the West is Amansie Central District.

It has its capital at Fomena located on the Kumasi – Cape Coast main road. The district has 35 electoral

areas and two constituencies (Fomena and Asokwa). The District has seven area councils i.e. Akrokerri,

Anhwiaso, Asokwa, Bodwesango, Dompoase, Fomena and Fumso area Councils. There are 125

communities in the district.


24

b. CLIMATE

The district experiences semi-equatorial climatic conditions. Temperatures are generally high

throughout the year with mean monthly temperatures ranging between 260 C and 300C .February and

March are the hottest periods in the year. The mean annual temperature is

270C.

Double maxima rainfall regime is experienced in the district. The annual total rainfall is between 1,250

mm and 1,750 mm. (50” – 70”). The major rains occur between April and July whilst the minor rains

occur between September and December. Relative humidity is high about 80% in the rainy season and

20% in the dry season. The temperature and rainfall pattern enhance the cultivation of many food and

cash crops such as cocoa, oil palm, citrus, vegetables, yams, cassava, cocoyam, cereals etc.

As a result of the double maxima rainfall pattern, there are two cropping seasons, these are; the major

cropping season and the minor cropping season in one year. The climate also supports forest vegetation

which supports the growth of wood lots like odum, wawa, sapele etc. These are harvested for export to

earn foreign exchange. Some are also used locally to create jobs for the citizens.

c. VEGETATION

Owing to the climatic conditions experienced in the district, the vegetation is naturally a semi-deciduous

forest. This kind of vegetation is characteristically made up of three layers; namely the under growth,

the middle layer and the upper layer.

It supports the growth of big and tall trees of different kinds which are not in pure stands. Some are

hard wood others are soft. Examples are wawa, sapele, odum, mahogany etc

d. CONDITIONS OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

The Natural environment of the district originally was hilly, in terms of relief, and this was accompanied

with rain forest vegetation.

The hills can still be seen throughout the district. In between the hills are valleys most of which contain

streams. Unfortunately, about 80% of the rainforest vegetation in the district has been destroyed due to

improper farming methods like slash and burn, bush fallowing, shifting cultivation, continuous

cropping, plantation agriculture, etc.

The vegetation of the district has changed from its original rain forest vegetation to secondary forest

vegetation.

Again bush fires and illegal chain saw operation have also contributed to the disappearance of the tall

and giant trees which previously were in abundance in the district.

Despite the rapid change of the natural environment virgin forests, still exist in the district in the forest

reserves which are a beautiful site to watch.


25

e. CONDITIONS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Most of the communities in the district face serious problems with erosion due to the hilly nature of the

district.

A community like Fomena the district capital, though an ancient town is not able to expand because, it

is surrounded by hills and valleys. The people are therefore forced to build their houses close to each

other without any regard to the planning scheme. The community just like many others in the district

faces serious erosion. As a result, deep gullies are found in the town and the foundations of most

buildings are exposed. Communities like Fumso, Brofoyedru, Nyankomasu and many others face

similar situation.

F RELIEF AND DRAINAGE

The district has an undulating terrain with more than half the total area rising to an average height of

about 300 meters above sea level. In general the district is located in a hilly area. For this reason

though there is land, most of it is not available for use since they are hilly. Again the hilly nature of the

land makes transportation difficult, since so many culverts have to be constructed on the roads to make

them passable, which unfortunately is very costly, making a lot of the roads lack the facility, hence

rendering them impassable during rainy seasons.

Generally, the district has several streams depicting a typical dendritic pattern. Major streams in the

district are: Bemin, Fum, Gyimi, Kyeabo, Ankafo, Adiembra, Asabri, Subine, Konwia, Kyekye,

Atraime, etc. Most of these rivers are used for domestic and industrial purposes. Most of them are

perennial and the area is well drained. As a result of this, farmers cultivate vegetables during dry

seasons, and this has helped many farmers to be in business throughout the year.

If this is encouraged, and irrigation facilities are provided for these farmers, it will help to improve upon

the income levels of the people to help reduce poverty in the district.

g. SOIL TYPE AND AGRICULTURAL LANDUSE

The major soil types in the district are Forest Ochrosols which develop well under moderate rainfall

between 900 mm and 1650 mm. They develop under forest vegetation. They are rich in humus content.

The soils are well developed with well defined profiles. The soil supports meaningful agricultural

production.

Cash Crops like Cocoa, Oil Palm and Citrus are cultivated by farmers from all parts of the district. In

specific terms, ginger is cultivated in Old Ayaase; Coffee is also grown in areas around Bena.

Vegetables such as pepper, tomatoes, garden eggs, etc are cultivated on a large scale in sandy soils

around Akrokerri and Dadwen.

The agricultural sector employs about 83% of the total labour force in the district. The district is divided

into 37 sub-districts with regard to extension work. There are 17 extension officers in the district. The

extension officer – farmer ratio in the district is more than 3500 farmers to one extension officer.

Some of the crops grown in the district are; Cocoa, Oil Palm, Citrus, Coffee, Maize, Cassava, Plantain,

Cocoyam, Yam, Rice, Vegetables, Pineapple, etc. As is happening in other parts of the country, the

agricultural sector in the district is facing so many problems. Some of these constraints include; Lack of

credit, Poor feeder road network, High cost of farm labour, difficulty in the acquisition of farm land

(land tenure system), unattractive prices of farm produce, high cost of farm inputs, post-harvest loss etc.


26

h. IMPACT OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES INCLUDING FARMING AND BUSH FIRES

In the district, the natural vegetation is steadily degenerating into secondary forest. Relatively little

virgin forest remains outside the main forest reserves and the condition can be attributed to persistent

extraction of timber resources and improper farming practices such as slash and burn, shifting

cultivation methods as well as the incidence of bush fires in the dry season.

Despite these improper environmental practices, with their detrimental effects on the vegetation of the

district, forest reserves still exist. Some of them are; Fum Headwaters at Fumso, Adu Kofi Forest

reserve at Nyankomasu, Dampayaw Forest Reserve at Yaw Dankwakrom and the Kusa ranges.

i. DISASTER

Disaster can be explained as sudden great misfortunes, which happen to people; examples are wind

storms, floods, Domestic/Natural fire outbreaks, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruption, outbreak of

diseases, etc.

Though disasters occur in the district, the rate at which they occur is minimal.

1. RAIN / WIND STORM

This is one of the most frequently occurring disasters in the district. Community projects such as a

market at Nyankomase, a church building at Nyamekrom, and a public toilet at Akwanserem were

destroyed by rain storm. In February, 2010 similar incidence occurred at Nsokote, Fumso, Asokwa,

Anwona, Anomabo, Hweremoase and Old Ayaase the cost of these damages ran into several thousands

of Ghana cedis.

The basic cause of these disasters was attributed to the absence of trees to in the communities to serve as

windbreaks.

2. FLOODS

There has not been any incidence of flooding in its truest sense in the district since the flood plains of

most of the rivers in the district are well drained. However, deep gullies created by erosion are seen in

most of the communities. The hilly nature of the district is responsible for this development. This is

because most of the communities are sited in broad valleys, which separate the hills.

3. DOMESTIC / BUSH FIRES

The incidence of domestic fires in the district is very minimal, although records show that some

households in communities like Anhwiaso, Nyankomasu and New Akrofuom have suffered from

domestic fire outbreaks before. In March, 2010 a house at Akrokerri was gutted with fire which caused

an extensive destruction to life and property.

Bushfire outbreak in the district is also on a low side. This could be attributed to the intensive

educational campaign mounted by the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) and the

personnel of the National Fire Service in the district.

However, each year between January and March bushfires are started around the hills opposite

Nyankomasu which end up destroying farms and other flora and fauna in the area.


27

4. DROUGHT

The district does not usually experience any acute drought, since the atmosphere has very high humidity

and there is a double maxima rainfall regime in the district. Therefore apart from the normal dry

seasons which occur between January and March every year, drought has not been a major problem of

the district. However, indiscriminate logging by chain saw operators in the district has caused a

substantial damage to the vegetation. What is even more worrying is when trees along streams are

felled indiscriminately causing some of the streams to dry up during the dry seasons.

j. AESTHETIC FEATURES AND LAND MANAGEMENT

Aesthetically, the district is a very beautiful area to visit. For instance, the Kusa scarp which is a range

of mountains influences almost all parts of the district and is a very beautiful site to watch. Again, out

of the Kusa scarp, a very beautiful waterfall known as Tewobaabi waterfalls has been developed and is

already attracting tourists from far and near to the site which the Assembly can harness to improve upon

its revenue base.

Most of the arable lands are in the hands of Family heads, who hold them in trust for the various

divisional Stools of the Adansi Kingdom. It is therefore very difficult to acquire a piece of land to

embark on any large scale agriculture if one is not a member of the family. Even family members find

it difficult to acquire enough land for large scale agriculture because, one is entitled to only a small

portion of the family land which belongs to the entire family, since the land has to be shared equally

among the members. The fragmentation inhibits large scale mechanized farming

In the district, if anybody wants to acquire land, the system of Land Tenure is predominantly the

‘Abunu’ and the ‘Abusa’ systems. The ‘Abunu’ is where the farmer shares the produce from the farm

equally with the Land owner. The ‘Abusa’ on the other hand is where the farmer takes two-thirds while

the land owner takes one-third of the produce.

The hilly nature of the district has negatively affected the built areas. This is because most of the

communities experience uncontrollable erosion, which weakens their buildings, and also creates deep

gullies in the towns which hamper movement of people.

Again, the hilly nature of the land makes the construction of roads and houses difficult and expensive,

since most of the communities are located in the broad valleys separating the hills. Communities like

Fomena, the district capital, together with Brofoyedru, Asokwa, Kusa, Agogooso, Tewobaabi, Fumso,

etc. face serious problems with erosion because of the hilly nature of the land.

k. GEOLOGY AND MINERALS

The area consists of Tarkwain (pre Cambrian) and upper Birimian rocks noted for their mineral bearing

potentials. Granitic rock outcrops occur at Akrokerri, Dompoase, Patakro and Kwapia. These rocks are

quarried for constructional works such as building and road construction.


28

Most parts of the district lie within the Gold belt. Areas between Asokwa through Nyankomasu and

Fumso Ketewa have been identified as having gold and diamond deposits. Despite the presence of these

rich resources, meaningful mining or extractional activities are yet to be carried out in the district.

A sand belt stretching from Fomena – Dompoase runs through Old Edubiase, Abadwum to Kwapia and

this is also being exploited for building and constructional works in the district and beyond.

L. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION

Soil erosion in the district is on the increase in the farming areas as well as in the built environment. Due to

the presence of the mining activities in and around Obuasi, there are increasing levels of atmospheric

particles in the district due to its closeness to the mining centers.

m. IMPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT

1. Location and Size: Adansi North is located in a tropical rainforest region where rainfall and

temperatures are uniformly high throughout the year. The location of the district in a forest area

therefore gives it a comparative advantage in the production of crops like oil palm, citrus, cocoa,

plantain, cocoyam, cassava etc.

In terms of size, the district is relatively small; this therefore makes the distribution of resources

relatively easy, and cost effective.

2.Relief: The district is located in a hilly area; this makes road construction very difficult and

expensive, however, the hilly nature promotes greenery environment due to frequent rainfalls and

difficulty in farming on mountain tops.

3. Climate: The district experiences a double maxima type of rainfall. This has made it possible for

farmers to enjoy two cropping seasons, the major and minor cropping seasons in one year. This is good

to keep farmers in business throughout the year.

4. Geology and Minerals: Most parts of the district lie within gold and sand belts. Unfortunately, no

meaningful mining or extraction activities have taken place in the district.

5. Soil type and Agricultural Land use: The major soil type in the district is forest ochrosols which

is rich in humus content. This is a very good ingredient for Agricultural development, considering the

fact that Agriculture employs about 83% of the total work force in the district.

ii. DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

1. POPULATION SIZE AND GROWTH RATE

The district’s projected population stands at about 118,068 based on the last census conducted in 2010

with a growth rate of 2.6% per annum. The population density is about 94 persons per square km. the

male-female ratio is 49.5% to 50.5%.

2. SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION – SETTLEMENT PATTERN


29

There are 125 communities in the district. However, only five (5) of them have urban characteristics

with population of 5000+. The Table below depicts some of these communities and their population as

at the year 2010 when the Population census was conducted.

3. POPULATION DENSITY

The District had a projected population of 120,000 with a land area of 1140 sq km. Thus the population

density of the District stood at 105 persons per square kilometer. This puts pressure on social amenities

in the urban areas while facilities in rural areas are underutilized.

1. HOUSEHOLD SIZES AND CHARACTERISTICS

The average household size in the district is about 5.3 persons. This means the household size in the

district is bigger than the national rural household size of 5.2 persons per household. The implication is

that each household has more people to feed, clothed and shelter. Thus poverty is very endemic in the

district.

5. RELIGIOUS COMPOSITION

Three main religious groupings can be found in the district namely, Christianity, Islam and African

Traditional Religion. Christians form about eighty-five (85%) while those in African Traditional

Religion form about 11% and Islam forms about 3.5% and the rest which is 0.5% goes to the other

forms of religion. The highest percentage of Christians in the district is an advantage to infrastructural

development in areas of health and educational facilities. For example, Benito Menni Health Centre at

Dompoase.

The male – female ratio is 48.6% to 51.4%. About 48% of the population is the active labour force (15

– 60 years). The age dependency ratio is high i.e. 48:52,

7. OCCUPATIONAL DISTRIBUTION

The dominant occupation in the district is farming which constitutes about 77%, followed by commerce

which is basically buying and selling also constitute 10%, services also take about 7% and industry

takes 6%.

8. MIGRATION TRENDS

Migration is a major challenge in the district. This is because the main occupation in the district is

agriculture and therefore those who are not interested in agriculture especially the youth migrate to

nearby Obuasi District where gold is being mined to seek for employment. Others also move to Kumasi

where other business is very lucrative. The implication is that the Youth who are very energetic leave

the district leaving the aged to do the farming activities hence their output is very low.

9. RURAL - URBAN SPLIT

Looking at the district set up, rural dwellers constitute about 82,524 which is 68.8% as against urban

dweller who also constitutes about 37,476 which is 31.2%. Thus, the district is unable to attract high

level investment and infrastructure like banking, second cycle institution, market centres etc. Rural-

urban migration is very high in the district due to its proximity to Obuasi, Bekwai and Kumasi. This

therefore negatively affects agricultural development in the district as the young and energetic people

migrate to the urban centers leaving the weak and the aged back to engage in agriculture in the district

Table 5. Rural-Urban Split

Type of Population Total Figure Percentage %

Rural 82,524 68.8%

Urban 37,476 31.2%

Totals 120,000 100.0

10. DEPENDENCY RATIO

Even though the active population constitutes 48% of the population that is, between 15 – 60 years.

However, majority of the age bracket between 15 – 25 years are either in school or in apprenticeship.

Apart from this, others between 26 – 60 years are also under employment or unemployed. Thus the

actual working force is about 35% who are feeding the remaining 65% leading to high dependency ratio

of 1:2. The district has a high dependency ratio of 1:3. This makes it difficult for the average worker to


33

enjoy any acceptable standard of living, since he/she has too many mouths to feed and is over stretched

with family and societal responsibilities.

iii. THE CULTURE OF ADANSI PEOPLE

1. TRADITIONAL SET-UP

The Adansi traditional set up is made up of seven divisional chiefs. The divisions are Ayaase, Edubiase,

Dompoase and Bodwesango forming the NIFA division and Akrofuom and Akrokerrifie forming the

BENKUM division. Fomena is the seat of the Paramount Chief of the Adansi Traditional area. The

Adansi People have seven stools with Fomena being the seat of the paramount chief. This serves as a

unifying factor to make the people united for development.

2. ETHNIC DIVERSITY

The population is predominantly Akan with Adansis forming the greater majority. However other

ethnic groups are also found; notable among them are the Ewes, the Krobos and Fantes. The minor

ethnic groups are mostly settler farmers. The entire Adansi North is made up of about 80% Akans and

20% made up of varied and numerous tribes in the country, who are scattered throughout the district as

settler farmers. Ethnic conflict is therefore almost non-existent in the district.

3. COMMUNAL SPIRIT

Some communities like Akrokerrifie, Akrofuom, Bodwesango and Old Edubiase have been without

chiefs as a result of chieftaincy disputes. This situation has affected the communal spirit of the people.

The people are therefore irresponsive to communal labour in most towns and villages. It is anticipated

that if the divisional and sub-divisional chiefs are installed the people could be mobilized for effective

development projects. Communal spirit in the district is very low. This is due to the fact that only two

out of the seven divisions of the Adansi stools have chiefs. Majority of the stools are without chiefs, as

a result, the people lack leadership at the grassroots to move them to assist in developmental efforts.

This has affected and continues to affect development negatively in the district.

4. TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES

The people in the district still maintain the traditional taboo days. Tuesdays are observed as taboo days

in most parts of the district. Some rivers and streams also forbid farmers from crossing or working

around them. Other taboo days are Akwasidae and Awukudae which occur every forty days.

Much as these taboo days serve as resting periods; they equally contribute to low agricultural

productivity as everybody is obliged to observe such days. Funerals are not performed in Fomena and

Ayaase on Sundays as the river Ankaful forbids cladding of mourning clothes on Sundays.

Majority of the people are Christians and a sizeable number of the people are Muslims. Others also

practice the African traditional religion. The chiefs and people of the Adansi traditional area celebrate


34

YAM FESTIVAL as the main festival of the area. To climax the festival, two rituals are performed

namely Ntaatoso and Odwira. It is believed that, traditionally BONSAM, a local idol, is supposed to eat

yam before everybody. The Akrokerrihene therefore performs the Ntaatoso ritual on Bonsam. Odwira

is also performed one week after the Ntaatoso by the paramount Chief. All the divisional chiefs and

their subjects celebrate the YAM FESTIVAL. Yam festival is celebrated every year by the chiefs and

the people of Adansi. This attracts so many people of Adansi origin from far and near to Fomena as a

result, projects are initiated and resources mobilized for development.

The significance of the festival is that, it unites the people. During the festival, sons and daughters of

Adansi traditional area use that opportunity to return to their roots to contribute to development projects

initiated by the various communities. The settler ethnic groups co-exist with the Adansis and

chieftaincy disputes in some communities have never resulted into any conflict. The people are

therefore living in harmony.

iv. SPATIAL ANALYSIS

4.1SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS AND LINKAGES

The Adansi North District has 125 settlements. Fomena, the capital has a very low concentration of

commercial and other economic activities. It also has a population of 4,750. The highest populated

settlement in the district is Akrokerrifie (8,865), followed by Dompoase (5,958), Fumso (5,421),

Anhwiaso (3,794), Asokwa (3,667), Bodwesango (3,206), Kwapia (1,894), Kyekyewere (7820) and

Dadwene (6010). The remaining settlements have low population figures below 2,000. Some of the

settlements can at best be described as hamlets as some have merely about one person living in them.

Due to the low population of the capital Fomena, it has few technical and infrastructural services,

leaving the other communities less developed. Most of the communities in the district are not more than

28 kilometers from Fomena the district capital. Due to the low population threshold for communities in

the district, the rate of infrastructural development is very low as the required threshold population to

make them viable are lacking. Fomena, Dompoase, Medoma, Asokwa, Fumso etc. are more accessible,

located along the Kumasi – Cape Coast asphalted road and the rest Akrokerrifie, Kwapia, Dadwen and

Kyekyewere also sited along the Kumasi-Dunkwa first class road. Some of the settlements have

accessibility problems with road network almost impassable during the rainy season. The 2000

Population and Housing census revealed that Akrokerrifie has assumed urban status. Most of the 125

settlements in the District are nucleated, linear or scattered which are accessible. The table below shows

some of the major settlements in the district and their population according to the 2000 Population and

Housing census.

It is unfortunate to note that Kyekyewere and Dadwen had low population figures quoted from the 2010,

Population census. However, the situation could be different now. These two settlements now have

massive developments and indicate a high population. This fact is derived from a survey undertaken by

the Town and Country Planning Department and

Building Inspectorate division of the Assembly.

ANALYSIS OF THE SCALOGRAM

The District plan preparation team selected 15 communities in the district and also selected a basic

facilities and infrastructure to determine the functional hierarchy of settlements in the district. After

critical analysis to determine the availability of these facilities in the selected communities, it was

realized that, the District capital Fomena came first followed by Akrokerri while Dompoase also came

third. One outstanding feature of these 3 communities is that they are all Area Council capitals and

have population threshold of 5000+. Fumso and Bodwesango also came fourth. Coincidentally, they are

also Area Council capitals. This shows that area council capital have more basic infrastructure and

basic facilities than the remote parts of the district. The conclusion is that the efforts of the district

should be geared towards the remote parts for equitable distribution of resources

3.SURFACE ACCESSBILITY TO SERVICES

TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

There is a post office and a petrol filling station located in Dompoase which serve Medoma and other

communities under it and along the Kumasi – Cape Coast asphalted road. There is a post office also in

Akrokerri also accessible through the Kumasi-Dunkwa road, Agogooso, Asokwa and other communities

within the area along the Dompoase-Ahensan road also have access to these facilities. The post office

located in Fomena serves Communities under Fomena and stretches to Ansa where the district shares a

common border with the Adansi South district on the Kumasi-Cape Coast asphalted road. There is the

need to have postal agencies within Fumso and Asokwa to serve Communities from Asokwa and other

communities within the area along the Dompoase-Ahensan road also have access to these facilities. The

post office located in Fomena serves Communities under Fomena and stretches to Ansa where the

district shares a common border with the Adansi South district on the Kumasi-Cape Coast asphalted

road.

There is the need to have postal agencies within Fumso and Asokwa to serve Communities from

Asokwa-Tasiliman road on the Asokwa-Obuasi first class road

With the exception of Fomena and Dompoase, there are no Tele-communication services of Ghana

Telecom within the major settlements. The Ghana Telecom land line existing in Fomena and Dompoase

are insufficient and need to be expanded and extended to the other settlements for their rapid

development. The district can now boast of several telecommunication masts because of the hilly nature

of the topography. Apart from the revenue to be accrued from the mast in the form of permit and

property rate the people now enjoy better telecommunication services namely, VODAFON, MTN,

TIGO,AIRTEL,EXPRESSO, Glo. etc. Electricity and water (Boreholes) can be found in almost all the

major settlements. The provision of more potable water in the smaller communities is ongoing whilst

Fomena, Dompoase and Fumso have mechanized water system under the management of Water Boards

for these facilities.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

There are schools built in all the major settlements. Below is a Table showing schools in the major

settlements.

Fomena, Bodwesango and Anhwiaso are the only settlements that boast of Police Stations. Fomena the

district capital is the seat of the District Police Commander. There is the need to provide Police Posts in

some of the settlements to ensure peace and order. There are markets found in almost all the major

settlements but Fumso has the major market which has acclaimed nationwide popularity and it needs to be

developed further to attract a greater number of traders. The market in Fomena, the district capital, is not

receiving the needed patronage though the infrastructure of the Market is excellent due to poor sitting of

the facility and lack of parking space. There is the need to educate the people to patronize the market.

40

The Table above indicates the hierarchy of major settlements in the district. The district capital

Fomena is placed fourth in ranking due to the following:

1. Unemployment leading to migration of the youth.

2. Lack of credit facility to the people into Agriculture

3. Proximity to the mining Area (Obuasi)

The creation of the district and Fomena as the capital would changed the face of Fomena.

4. COMMODITY FLOWS

The district is mainly an agrarian one with almost all commodities being food stuffs and other agro-

based products like palm oil, palm kernel, gari cassava dough, cocoa beans etc.

These commodities are mainly transported to Fumso in the district, New Edubiase, Obuasi and

Bekwai in the neighboring market centers. Again a lot of the commodities are further transported to

Kumasi, the Regional Capital.

5. MANIFESTATION OF LEVELS AND LOCATIONS OF THE POOR AND FUNCTIONAL

REGIONS

Adansi North District has seven (7) Area Councils. The capitals of each of these seven area councils have

facilities that the people in the capital can take advantage of. For instance Area Council Capitals are

endowed with social infrastructure such as market centres, schools, post offices etc. Thus poverty levels

around these areas are not well manifested as seen in the remote parts of the areas or the hinterland of the

area council. Within the remote parts of the area councils, owing to bad nature of the roads, people find it

difficult to transport their food stuffs to market centres for sale. Thus their income levels are very low.

Besides, family planning methods are not adopted giving way to so many births and their attendant

problems.

6. NATURE OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROBLEMS OF TOWN PLANNING/

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL

Almost all communities in the district are developing and growing without planning schemes.

Fomena, Dompoase, Akrokerri, Asokwa, Fumso and Kwapia however have planning schemes which are

too old and need to be revised. The district is therefore characterized with haphazard development patterns

such as improper sitting of buildings and other facilities. Buildings are sited in most communities without

access roads, and sanitation facilities.

The District faces a lot of problems with the preparation of town planning schemes in the sense that, the

chiefs and elders of the various communities always complain of lack of funds for the preparation of the

schemes. The District Assembly on the other hand sees the preparation of planning schemes for the

various communities as the responsibility of the chiefs since they are the owners of the land and therefore,

they are those who sell land or plots to prospective developers. As a result of this controversy the


41

communities are left without planning schemes which negatively affect the development and growth of the

communities.

7. SPACE ECONOMY

Fomena, Dompoase, Akrokerri and most of the long settled areas have layouts with defined access roads.

The layout of Fomena and Dompoase were prepared as far back as 1975. The towns have grown without

control and therefore the layouts need to be revised.

However, some of the major settlements have no layouts and have the characteristics of slum development.

Such areas include Kyekyewere / Dadwen, Asokwa, Fumso and Nyankomasu (Emphasis on Fumso /

Asokwa). The main settlements in the district which need to be planned can be found underneath.

KEY DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS

As a result of poor spatial development planning in most communities and because planning schemes have

not been prepared to spearhead development planning processes, especially Kyekyewere/Dadwen and other

communities, boundary disputes usually arise and threaten peace in the local economy. To forestall

boundary disputes between communities, there is the need for enforcement of legal framework to ensure

strict adherence to layout preparation by chiefs to avert possible breach of law by recalcitrant developers.

Rampant cases of land disputes and litigation often render many good agricultural lands idle and

unproductive. Under the circumstance, there is the need on the part of the District Assembly to access

potential sources of funding to undertake cadastral survey of land in the district to ensure spatial

development.

There is the need also to strengthen collaborating agencies like the Building Inspectorate, Town and

Counting Planning Department, Development Planning and Environmental Health Unit to effectively

discharge their assigned responsibilities.

To facilitate orderly and planned development in the district it is suggested that with the collaborative

endeavours of the Traditional Councils and the District Assembly, there should be established land banks

to enable prospective developers and investors gain easy access to land.


42

HUMAN SETTLEMENT PATTERNS

DISTRIBUTION OF ROADS

Roads within the district economy are measured to ensure well-functioning and Communication network,

which is important for improving the living conditions of the people. A number of roads traverse the

district, linking up the district capital with all parts and other areas of the country. (Table 7) These include

the 23 km of asphalted portion between Medoma and Ansa and the 5km double surfaced bitumen first

class road between Akrokerri junction and Kyekyewere on the main Kumasi- Dunkwa road.

A number of second class and feeder roads traverse the length and breadth of the district making all areas

accessible. The degree to which transport system exerts spatial influence on the district, particularly to

economic activities and services cannot be over emphasized. This serves as a stimulus to the improvement

and expansion of agricultural production. The Tables below show the major road network and their

classification in the district.

43

Most of the road networks in the district are made up of third class roads which link most of the

settlements. Owing to the fact that the third class roads have no bitumen surface, there is the need for

regular maintenance.

8. LINKAGE WITH OTHER DISTRICTS

Adansi North District shares boundaries with Obuasi District, Adansi South, Bekwai District, Amansie

Central and Bosome Freho. By virtue of the location of the district, it has both positive and negative

linkages with the other districts. On the positive side, the farming communities trade some of their farming

commodities in the nearby market centres such as Obuasi, and Bekwai. Some of the inhabitants also attend

hospital in places like Obuasi and Bekwai because of their proximity. On the other hand, negative impact

has also been felt by the district. For instance owing to the sharing of boundaries, most energetic youth are

attracted to Obuasi to find nonexistent jobs, thus creating low productivity in the district. This is because

only the aged and the minors are left behind to undertake the farming activities in the district.

9. IMPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT

Settlement Systems and Linkages: communities are scattered throughout the district. However since

the district is a relatively small one with only 125 accessible communities which are not too far from

the district capital Fomena, majority of the people have access to basic infrastructure for

development.

Services like post office, bank, police station, electricity, markets etc. are accessible to many of the

communities, and this puts the district on a spring board for accelerated development. Some of the

communities in the district have access to asphalt roads since the Kumasi-Cape Coast road, passes

through some of the communities in the district.

Commodity Flow: The weekly market at Fumso in the district is a major marketing centre where

commodities produced in the district are sent to, for export to other districts and regions. Again,

Fumso market in the district is a centre where commodities produced outside the district are imported

into the district.

The market at Fumso therefore has a huge potential which when harnessed properly can help

immensely in the revenue mobilization effort of the district to create jobs and wealth and to accelerate

the development of the district.

Problems of town planning: None of the communities in the district has any modern and functional

town planning scheme. Fomena, Dompoase, Asokwa, Fumso and few others which have planning

schemes cannot use them since the schemes are too old and are very difficult to enforce their

implementation.

The result is that, there is uncontrolled development in most of the communities, which have resulted

in slum development. Houses are haphazardly built in most communities without permit. The

Assembly therefore loses revenue for development since valuation of the houses is very difficult.


44

v. DISTRICT ECONOMY

1. THE STRUCTURE OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY

a) Primary Production: The District Economy is predominantly an agrarian one with 77%

of the inhabitants being farmers majority of whom engaged in subsistence farming in crop production

and live stock keeping.

b) Services: Services also employ about 15% of the people in the district. Some of the main

component of the services provided include, buying and selling, tourism, banking, communication,

dressmaking, hairdressing, operation of private schools etc.

c) Manufacturing: Manufacturing employs about 8% of the working population in the district. Some

of the manufacturing activities include production of T & G, extraction of palm oil and palm kennel,

processing of cassava into gari, etc. These activities are scattered throughout the district. This also

includes mining and quarrying.

2. HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND EXPENDITURE

On the whole, household incomes in the district are very low. This is reflected in the fact that the output of

the people who are mainly subsistence farmers, small scale manufacturers and limited services providers

are very low and do not bring sufficient incomes to the various households in the district.

As a result of this, low standard of living of the people is reflected in the lives of the people. The evidence

of which is found in the dilapidated buildings that the majority of the people occupy, the inability of

majority of the people to send their children to good schools due to their inability to pay school fees,

leading to high school dropout rate in the district, inability of majority of household to afford balanced

diets, etc.

3. MAJOR ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

A. A G R I C U L T U R E

Agriculture which is the mainstay of the district economy employs about 77 percent of the labour force.

The active male and female population percentage engaged in farming stand at 55 male and 45 female.

There is however, no clear-cut distinction between farmers who produce either cash or food crops and

farmers engaged in the production of food crops and rearing of livestock, poultry and fish farming.

There are seventeen operational areas with regard to Agricultural Extension work, with one extension

officer in each operational area. This gives an extension officer farmer ratio of 1:3575 compared with an

ideal national standard of 1:300.

There are four main ways of land acquisition identified in the district, namely; Individual, family means,

outright purchase and abunu or abusa. The average farm size in the district is estimated at 5.3 acres.

The district does well in food crops like cassava, cocoyam, maize, plantain, yam and vegetables.

Production of cash crops such as cocoa citrus and oil palm is dominant.


45

a. C O C O A

Production of cocoa is dominant in the district. It substantially employs greater number of people in the

district. The cocoa mass spraying and fertilizer Hi-Tech has also increased production tremendously.

Cocoa production in Nsokote cocoa district alone is 119067 bags.

SOURCE: Quality Control - Asokwa.

b. OIL PALM

Oil palm production is also carried out by most farmers and serves as food and cash crops. Currently a lot

of farmers have gone into oil palm production due to the establishment of P.S.I. nursery at Akwansrem.

Processing of the fruit into palm oil and marketing employs a large number of women in the sector.

c. C A S S A V A

It is widely grown, and it has comparative advantage over other food crops. It is sold in its raw form or

processed into gari. The Department of Food and Agriculture has introduced the high yielding varieties

like Afisiafi, Abasafita and Tecbankye through the efforts of the P.S.I on cassava.

d. C I T R U S

Most farmers around Akrokerri, Bobriase, and Kwapia, are well known in citrus production. The name

“Obuasi Ankaa woo”, is associated with oranges from these communities. About 70% of oranges

produced in the district is from the area. Efforts are being made by the District Directorate of Agriculture

to bring the farmers together under one umbrella. The farmers could source for funds to establish an orange

processing plant, to produce fresh juice for sale. It is envisaged that patronage will be very good as the

area is already known for its sweet and good quality oranges. This will also go a long way in creating

employment and reducing poverty.

e. M A I Z E

Production of maize is not being fully exploited. Farmers prefer the cultivation of local varieties to the

improved varieties like obaatampa and mamaba which yield higher and have high protein content than the

local varieties.

f. P L A N T A I N

Production of the crop is on the increase due to high demand and ready market. Apem, Oniaba, Asamienu

and Apantu are the Common varieties produced by farmers.

g. Y A M

Even though the soils are suitable for yam production only few farmers practise it. Yam tubers are always

brought in from Techiman and Kintampo.

h. V E G E T A B L E S

Vegetables are mostly grown during the dry season (Nov – March) Farmers are however, face water

problems since there are no irrigation facilities, even though some rivers in the district are perennial.

i. COCOA NURSERY

The establishment of cocoa nursery by the District Assembly in collaboration with the District Agricultural

Directorate will go a long way to enhance the cocoa sector.

The Fumso cocoa seed station is located in the district. Most farmers who buy these pods for planting do

not have the technical knowledge of raising the seedling nurseries. They plant stagger ally, wasting most

of the seeds.

This method of planting makes weed control very difficult, as most of the germinated seeds are slashed

during weed control. Labour becomes relatively expensive and time wasting on such farmers fields. It will

be more appropriate if seedlings are raised and sold to farmers at reasonable prices. The District Assembly

should support MOFA to raise over 10,000 cocoa seedlings to be sold to cocoa farmers at reasonable

prices.

j. AGRO – CHEMICAL SHOPS (BANNED CHEMICALS)

Currently agro – chemical shops are being opened in communities like Bodwesango, Dompoase, Fumso,

and Asokwa.

This is due to the fact that farmers are catching up with the education on NO-TILLAGE by the District

Directorate of Agriculture. Due to the high cost of farm labour, farmers now use these chemicals


47

(weedicide) as an alternative for weed control. The District Directorate of Agriculture also makes regular

checks, so that all banned chemicals are not sold to farmers.

Some Banned chemicals are;

D.D.T

All types of urden

P.P. Kumakate

Phiostexin for maize storage

B. F O R E S T R Y

The district has four (4) forest reserves namely Fum headwaters, Adu Kofi forest reserve, Dampayaw forest

reserve and Kusa ranges which are rich in timber and other forest resources, especially medicinal plants.

Besides these forest reserves, large portions of the secondary forest in the district are being cultivated into

teak and rubber plantations in areas like Akrokerri and Anhwiaso.

C. L I V E S T O C K

Majority of the total farming population are engaged in crop production to the detriment of livestock

farming which is poorly patronized. It is estimated that about 15 percent of the farming population are in

livestock production. The farm animals are mainly cattle, sheep, goat and grasscutter are produced in small

scale levels.

The average stock of sheep and goats per household is between 10 – 20.

D. P O U L T R Y

Commercial poultry farming is on the increase. The commercial poultry farmers use deep litter system

technology, whilst the local birds and small ruminants are on the free range. Low level in the livestock

production is due to high incidence of diseases and pest associated with the rain forest ecology coupled

with the fact that there is only one Veterinary Technical Officer in the district.

Diseases such as Rabies, worm infestation, PPR and CBPP in cats, dogs, sheep, goats and cattle and

poultry diseases need the attention of qualified veterinary surgeon and laboratory.

E. F I S H I N G

The low supply of fish in the district is due to lack of inland fishing. MOFA is however, making efforts to

encourage farmers to establish fish ponds to boost fish production in the district. Fish is however brought

by Fish-mongers from neighbouring Central Region


48

F. MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES

Industries like Wood Processing into T&G can be found in the district in places like Adiembra, Asokwa

and Tasiliman.

The processing of palm fruits into palm oil and palm kennel as well as gari processing industries are scatted

all over the district especially in places like Dompoase, Ayokoa, Fumso and others.

G. S E R V I C E S

1. T O U R I S M:

Tourism is not fully developed in the district. For this reason, though, today Tourism is the third largest

foreign exchange earner in the country, Adansi North gets virtually nothing in terms of revenue from

Tourism.

Despite the poor performance of the district in Tourism development, the district has some potentials. For

instance, there are about eight (8) Tourists Attraction sites in the district which can be developed to boost

tourism. They are as follows:

(a) The Prempeh II Stone at Brofoyedru;

(b) The Kusa Scarp at Kusa;

(c) The Treaty of Fomena at Fomena

(d) The Bonsam Shrine at Patakro

(e) The Sasabonsam Kye at Bodwesango

(f) The Tewobaabi Waterfalls at Tewobaabi

(g) The Nyankumasu Waterfalls at Nyankumasu

Plans are underway to develop the Tewobaabi Waterfalls into a fully developed tourists attraction site in

the district. In the case of the Treaty of Fomena, the Assembly has plans to put up a structure at the site to

attract people from far and near to Fomena as part of Ghana’s Golden Jubilee celebration in March 2011.

2. B A N K I N G

In recent past, the Banking industry in Ghana has witnessed a lot of transformation which include the

introduction of electronic banking among others into the industry. Despite the fact that running and

maintaining such facilities are very expensive, banks keep investing more resources into this area even in

time of recession.

In the wake of this development, some of the banks are still operating with the manual system; thus making

it difficult to provide better services. The District has a Rural Bank with branches in Fomena, Akrokerri

and a mobilization centre at Asokwa – Adansi. As stated above the bank has not introduced any form of

technology in its operations thereby making their services very unattractive as a result of the following:

i) Human errors in the course of processing customer information is high, making customers

loose interest in transacting business with the bank.

ii) Retrieval of information is cumbersome and time consuming, sometimes resulting into formation of

long queues in the banking hall.


49

iii) There is the problem of accessibility as the bank and its branches are not many making it difficult for

all to access.

iv) The system puts a lot of stress and strain on the employees of the bank and in the end making them

ineffective.

v) Cost involved in terms of labour and paper work is high.

In spite of the above problems associated with their operations, it has economically impacted positively on

the lives of the people in the district, by way of giving loans to women groups and other small scale

business enterprises in the district.

The bank is highly patronized during the Cocoa seasons and at the end of every month by the few salaried

workers in the district.

Non-banking and informal financial institutions such as Susu collectors and money lenders are also

prevalent in the district. These non-banking institutions are well patronized due to their easy access and

personal touch, despite the high interest rates charged by the operators.

Although the bank’s services are highly patronized, they are faced with the problem of office

accommodation, accessibility and retrieval of information because they are not computerized.

THE WAY FORWARD

The bank has already acquired land and also cut sod for the construction of permanent office complex in

Fomena, the district capital. The bank also has plans for computerizing and networking all their branches

as soon as work on the office complex is completed.

a. T E L E C O M M U N I C A T I O N

In terms of communication, the district can be said to have a little below average in the distribution of the

national cake. The following are some of the services provided in the district:

b. POSTAL SERVICES

The post office is inactive as incoming and outgoing letters delay for many days before they leave or come

to the post office. Some of the boxes are not lockable hence leaving letters at the mercy of thieves. Again,

most of the fast and reliable services cannot be accessed due to the inactive nature of the post office.


50

c. LAND OR FIXED LINES

Land lines or fixed lines are fairly operative in the district as it can be accessed in the major towns and

villages. The district has forty-eight (48) fixed lines and other Wills system of communication.

d. MOBILE TELECOMUNICATION

With the introduction of technology into communication in the country, there has been the emergence of

some Telecommunication networks such as MTN, TIGO, VODAFONE, AIRTEL, EXPRESSO and Glo.

However, the district is yet to enjoy all these facilities fully even though, the services of Tigo, MTN,

Vodafone and Airtel are being enjoyed by some of the communities like Fomena Dompoase Medoma and

others.

4 REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE STATUS

Generally, the revenue that comes to the district is very low. Some of the revenue is internally generated

while the rest is obtained from external sources.

The revenue items that are generated from internal sources include the following;

Rates

Lands

Fees and Fines

Investment

Mineral royalties

Miscellaneous receipts

The revenue items that are received from external sources also include the following;

District Assemblies Common Fund

4.3Mobilizing IGF – Problems and Challenges

Challenges that affected Revenue Mobilization within the District included:

Poor road network making movement in the District very difficult. Most of the roads are not motorable

particularly during the rainy season. This hampers the work of the available few revenue collectors.

Unwillingness of the local people to be recruited as commission revenue collectors.

Inability of the Assembly to improve the skills of revenue collectors.

Inadequacy of logistics like motor bikes and bicycles to improve the mobility of collectors.

Low motivation of revenue collectors.

Management inability in addressing the problems of collectors.

Poor and ineffective tax education.


53

Unhelpful attitude of many community leaders towards revenue mobilization.

Inadequate monitoring and supervision of revenue collection activities.

Inability of the Assembly to cede some lucrative revenue items to councils for collection on

commission basis.

4.4 Improving the Collection of IGF

Generating more revenue to meet the recurrent and development demands on the Assembly has been of

major concern to the Assembly over the years. Strategies used to improve revenue collection include the

following:

1) Broaden the revenue base to bring in more revenue items which were not covered.

2) Engaging more commission revenue collectors to work in communities where there are no revenue

collectors.

3) Organization of workshops for revenue collectors to improve their skills.

4) Intensification the supervision of revenue collectors by appointing hard working and committed

revenue officers to supervise the revenue stations.

5) Set up monthly revenue targets for collectors and reward those who meet target.

6) Periodic update of the revenue database of the District, which include the enumeration of the

ratable population and the preparation of valuation list of all properties.

7) Tax education should be an on-going exercise.

8) Motivating hardworking supervisors and collectors.

9) Involving the Area Councils and Unit Committees in revenue collection

10) Formation of Revenue Mobilization Innovation Team/Revenue Task Force.

11) Enforcement of Assembly’s bye-laws on tax defaulters.

12) Cede attractive revenue items to Area Councils for collection on commission basis.


54

4.5 Improving IGF through Participatory Budgeting Process

Participatory Budgeting is the involvement of all citizens in the budgeting process, from the fixing of

rates, fees and fines to the projections of revenue and expenditures through to budget implementation,

monitoring and evaluation. The Assembly, within the plan period 2010-2013 will use this strategy to

improve revenue collection.

4.6 Financial Management Practices

Disbursement of funds, both IGF and External Inflows is done in accordance with laid down financial

regulations and guidelines. The Assembly strictly adheres to current financial regulations namely the

Local Government Act 1993, Act 462, the Public Procurement Act, 2003, Act 663, the Financial

Administration Act, 2003, Act 654 and the Internal Audit Agency Act, 2003, Act 658. These legislations

provide general direction in terms of policy and control mechanism of revenue and expenditure.

4.7 The Assembly’s Procurement Process

Section 17 (1) of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) states that “ Each procurement entity shall

establish a Tender Committee in the manner set out in Schedule 1” The District Assembly as a

procurement entity has established a District Tender Committee and is performing its functions as

preserved in the Act.

Again, Section 20 (1) of Act 663 calls for the establishment at each level of public procurement Tender

Review Committees. The Assembly in complying with the provisions of this Act has established a District

Tender Review Committee and currently performing its functions as enshrined in the Act. The Assembly

also has a Project Monitoring Team which oversees the supervision of programmes and projects so as to

get value for money.

4.8 Matching Revenue with Expenditure

The Assembly administers to match actual revenue collected with approved expenditure by:

Spending within approved budget limits.

Making sure proper authorization and approval of all payments.

Monitoring all payment to ensure that they are being made for budgeted programmes and projects.

Preparation of monthly trial balance and bank reconciliation statements.

Critically analyzing monthly variances of revenue expenditure to find solutions to improve overall

performance in revenue collection and expenditures.

4.9 The District Assemblies’ Common Fund (DACF)

The District Assemblies’ Common Fund (DACF) was created under section 252 of the Fourth Republican

Constitution of 1992 and enacted by Parliament on 6th July, 1993 (Act 455). Under this Act, Parliament is

annually required to allocate not less than five percent (5%) of total revenues of Ghana to the District

Assemblies for development.

4.10 Constraints and Challenges of external sources of funding

Untimely release of the funds from the Central Government;

Shortfall in expected share of the DACF;

Unplanned deductions by the Administrator of the DACF;

Overreliance on external sources of funding; and

5. ECONOMIC RESOURCES, INTRA/INTER TRADE

The district is blessed with a very fertile land which is being used for agricultural activities like the

cultivation of cash crops example oil palm, cocoa, citrus, teak trees etc. The fertile soil again supports the

cultivation of food crops like plantain, cocoyam, cassava, vegetables, etc.

Apart from the fertile soils, there are granitic rocks which outcrop in areas around Dompoase, Akrokerri

and Patakro which has already attracted small scale quarrying in the district. However, there is hope that

large scale quarrying would very soon spring up in the district.

The district can also boast of both virgin and secondary forest, rich in timber resources which are being

extracted for various economic activities. Gold has also been explored in the district, and it is expected

that sooner or later gold could be mined in the district to boost its economy.

Both intra and inter trade feature prominently in the district. On intra trade; there is the existence of a

major market centre in the district at Fumso which is organized weekly on Thursdays. Farmers and small

scale manufacturers in the district take advantage of the market and sell their products in the market.

On inter trade; goods are imported from Kumasi, Obuasi, Bekwai, new Edubiasi, Cape Coast, and other

places to Fumso every Thursday for sale while goods produced in the district are exported every Thursday

to the various major markets outside the district for sale.


56

6. ECONOMICALLY ACTIVE POPULATION

According to the 2010 population census, 48% of the population in the district ie; (15–60 years)

constitutes the economically active population. Out of the 48% some of them are either in school or

learning some kind of trade, while a sizeable number of them are unemployed or under employed, leaving

only a few of them in active employment. The implication is that there is high dependency ratio in the

district leaving very little money in the hands of households for savings and investments.

7. PRUDENT FISCAL MANAGEMENT

For the Assembly to use its resources judiciously, the Assembly is enjoined to follow the laid down rules

and regulations, and some cases laid down financial resolutions and guidelines. Some of the financial

regulations include; Financial Memoranda (FM), The New Procurement Act 2003, Act 663. Some of the

directives also emanate from the office of the District Assemblies’ Common Fund Administrator and the

Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Environment. The Regional Co-ordinating

Councils are also enjoined to ensure that all expenditures in the various districts are in line with laid down

procedures.

8. ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES/FUNDS

The district allocates its resources based on its revenue and expenditure estimates for the year. In doing

this, community needs are collated and their urgency thoroughly assessed. This is done to determine

which community or sector should be considered for a project.

In the process, all the resources at the disposal of the district are put together against which the community

needs are matched. Since the resources are limited, they should be judiciously utilized, and therefore the

most pressing demands which when satisfied would serve the majority of the people are selected for

execution.

vi. G O V E R N A N C E

1. ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURES FOR ADANSI NORTH DISTRICT MANAGEMENT

The administrative set up to facilitate governance in the district is co-terminus with the Local Government

Act 462 of the 1992 Fourth Republic Constitution.

The General Assembly is the highest authority of the District Assembly. It has deliberative, legislative as

well as executive functions among which is development decision-making and planning.

The Presiding Member is the highest authority in the General Assembly which is made up of all Assembly

members, the District Chief Executive and Heads of Department. The District Co-coordinating Director is

the secretary to the General Assembly.


57

a. ADANSI NORTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

The District was created by the Legislative Instrument 1758 and inaugurated on the 17th February, 2004.

Adansi North District is one of the newly created Districts in Ghana. It is one of the 30 administrative

districts in Ashanti Region.

The district was carved out of the defunct Adansi East and Adansi West Districts, now Adansi South and

Obuasi District Assembly respectively. The District has 43 electoral areas according to the 2010 General

Election and seven Area Councils namely; Fomena, Dompoase, Anhwiaso, Akrokerri, Fumso,

Bodwesango and Asokwa.

b. Organizational Structure of the Assembly

The District Assembly is made up of the District Chief Executive who is the political head, and 61

Assembly members of which 43 are elected and 18 appointed by the President in consultation with chiefs

and interest groups in the District. The Members of Parliament for the Adansi Asokwa and Fomena

constituencies are ex-officio members of the Assembly and a sitting Presiding Member elected from

among the Assembly members to chair the Assembly’s proceedings.

The Assembly performs its functions through the Executive Committee and a number of sub-committees.

The Executive Committee exercises executive and co-ordinating functions of the Assembly whilst the

Sub-Committees are called to deliberate on relevant issues in their functional areas. The Executive

committee, which performs the functions of the Assembly is presided over by the District Chief Executive

and consists of not more than 2/3 of the total number of members of the Assembly. Heads of Department

attend meetings of the committee as ex-officio members and advise them on the execution of their

functions. All chairpersons of sub-committees are members of the Executive Committee

The statutory sub-committees include the following;

Development planning sub-committee;

Social services sub-committee;

Works sub-committee;

Finance and Administration sub-committee;

Justice and security sub-committee; and

Public relations and complaints sub-committee.

Sub-committees are important sub-structures of the Assembly as far as planning is concerned. All letters,

proposals, plans and development input from unit committees are channeled through the Area Councils to

the office of the District Chief Executive and referred to the appropriate sub-committees of the Executive

committee. Conventionally, there are supposed to be five sub-committees that deal with various

developmental issues in the Assembly. These are Development Planning Sub-committee, Social Services

Sub-committee, Works Sub-committee, Justice and Security Sub-committee and Finance and

Administration Sub-committee. However, in line with the legal provision that empowers the District to

establish additional sub-committee when the need demands, three more sub-committees have been

established in the District, namely ; Agriculture Development Sub-committee and Education Sub-

committee.

For administrative efficiency and effectiveness, the District Chief Executive is supported by a secretariat

or the Central Administration which is headed by the District Co-ordinating Director who reports to the

District Chief Executive.


58

The District Assembly also has the District Planning Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU) which is to serve as the

technical section of the Assembly by developing a data bank for planning and budgeting purposes. This

unit has not been functioning as expected largely owing to staff inadequacy and logistical constraints.

The Central Administration of the office of the District Assembly is basically made up of the following

two (2) broad departments.

i General Administration and Finance

ii District Planning Co-ordinating Unit

These are supported by the following departments;

Department of Social Welfare and Community Development

Ghana National Fire Service

Ghana Education Service

Ghana Health Service

National Commission for Civic Education

Electoral Commission

Department of Agriculture

Works Department

Department of Co-operatives

National Board for Small Scale Industries

Town and Country Planning Department.

Statistical Service

The following Departments, Agencies and Institutions are not in existence in the district. Their services

are however provided from Obuasi and Bekwai where most of them exist. They are:

Lands Commission

District Labour Office

Land Valuation

Survey Department

Department of Parks and Gardens

Forestry

The absence of these decentralized departments and vital institutions like Land Valuation, Electricity

Company etc. poses serious problems with service delivery in the district.

c. AREA COUNCILS

The Adansi North District has seven Area Councils. They are:


59

S/N AREA COUNCIL CAPITAL

1 Fomena Fomena

2 Bodwesango Bodwesango

3 Asokwa Asokwa

4 Akrokerri Akrokerri

5 Fumso Fumso

6 Dompoase Dompoase

7 Anhwiaso Anhwiaso

Almost all the Area Councils have permanent Area Council buildings except Anwiaso Area Council

building which was awarded on contract but has been abandoned by the contractor. Despite the fact that

the remaining (six) 6 area councils have permanent structure, three of them have problem with office

accommodation. Presently, Fomena Area Council building is being used by Adansi North District

Assembly as temporary office while the new structure for the Assembly has been awarded on contract.

Dompoase Area Council structure is also occupied by the District Education Directorate owing to the fact

that they do not have permanent office at Fomena, the district capital. Also Fumso Area Council building

is now been used as a Health Centre to serve the people of the area.

All the area councils have clerk of councils that are manning them. However, the other staff who are

supposed to support the clerk of councils are not in place. This is because they are paid from revenue

items that have been ceded to them. Thus most of them who are qualified to do the job are not attracted

enough. At best, they are taken on for two to three months and they tender in their resignation for better

job. For personnel to be attracted to the job, the central government should take up their salaries. Besides,

the personnel problem, the councils do not have the necessary logistics to work with. For instance, at this

computer age, with the exception of Fomena and Akrokerri Area Councils, the rest of the area councils are

without computers. None of them has any means of transport and telephone facilities.

d. TRADITIONAL AUTHORITY

The whole district falls in the Adansi Traditional Area with their headquarters as the District capital,

Fomena. Adansihene is the final traditional authority on the land. Under him are the various divisional

chiefs and sub-chiefs. The chiefs adjudicate on family disputes and also mobilize the citizenry for

communal labour.

2. ACCOUNTABILITY

The District Chief Executive is the Administrative and Political head of the Assembly and he is

accountable to the General Assembly, the Regional Minister, the Minister of Local Government, Rural

Development and to the President of the Republic of Ghana.

The D.C.E. is supposed to sign performance agreement periodically with the Regional Minister. He is

also accountable to the General Assembly by the delivery of sessional address. The sessional address is

discussed thoroughly by the General Assembly before consideration and acceptance.

The D.C.E meets the citizenry periodically to defend the policies and initiatives of the Assembly through

questions and answers during the Town Hall meeting.


60

The D.C.E is under the scrutiny of the media daily on his decisions and utterances.

The Internal Auditor of the District Assembly and external Auditors are always scrutinizing the final

performances of the District Assembly and the financial culpability of the D.C.E.

The D.C.E is responsible to the communities by accepting their invitation to ceremonies, durbars and

inaugurations.

The District Coordinating Director on the other hand is the head of the bureaucracy in the district. He is in

charge of the day to day administration of the Assembly and he coordinates all departments and sees to

their effective performance.

He is responsible to the Regional Coordinating Director, the Regional Minister, the Minister of Local

Government, Rural Development and Environment and the Head of Civil Service through the submission

of quarterly reports, situation reports and any other assignment given for response.

Finally, the D.C.E and the D.C.D are under the eagle eye of the Finance and Administration sub-

committee for effective financial and administration performance in the district.

3. PARTICIPATION OF THE CITIZENRY

a. COMMUNITIES

The communities operate around the Unit committees through to the Assembly members, the Area

Councils to the District Assembly.

The chiefs are also a major rallying force within the communities and there is the need for collaboration

between these institutions for effective mobilization of the citizenry for communal work. It is noted that

areas in the District where there is absence of such collaboration between the unit committees and the

chiefs always brings about apathy and total breakdown of communal cooperation.

b. COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS)

Community Based Organizations abound in the district with the majority formed around HIV/AIDS but

they are not well structured and formally organized. The other CBOS are formed around Farmers’

Associations, Hair Dressers’ and Dress Makers’ Associations.

c. PRIVATE SECTOR INSTITUTIONS

Adansi North District is predominantly an agricultural economy. However, private farmland holdings are

relatively small in size and the average farm holding size is below 1 hectare. At best there are only

pockets of farmers who could be described as medium scale farmers. Small-scale commercial farm

owners dominate the private sector.

There exist private purchasing companies whose operations are of immense importance to farmers and the

economy in general. The following private purchasing companies exist in the district. Kuapa, Fedco,

Adwumapa, Produce Buying Company, etc. Other Private sector Institutions are millers (rice, maize,

cassava, palm oil) timber merchants, sawn millers, processors and a medium scale wooden processing

industry at Dompoase. Asokwa, Anwona, Fumso and Tasiliman.


61

The predominance of agriculture in the district and the high output in agricultural raw materials, make the

district a potential force to reckon with in the establishment of processing industries. It is also a potential

for the majority of the youth to be trained in non-traditional agricultural production. The Assembly has

taken the lead and has started gradually in the training of the youth in snail rearing, bee-keeping and

mushroom production.

The District has one rural bank namely; Adansi Rural Bank Ltd which has its branches at Akrokerri and

Asokwa with its headquarters at Fomena, the district capital. Bosome Freho Rural Bank which has its

headquarters at Asiwa, the district capital for Bosome Freho District Assembly an adjoining district. The

bank has an agency at Bodwesango.

Contractors, the garages, welders, plumbers, dressmakers, hair dressers, carpenters and masons are the

main nucleus of substantial employment for our stream of J.S.S. and S.S.S students that come yearly.

d. NON – GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGO’s)

NGOs do not operate extensively in the district.

4. APPLICATION OF COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES/ PUBLIC HEARING DURING:

i) PLANNING PROCESS

There was NDPC training for all DPCU members at Kumasi, which members were trained along the guide

lines of the Development Plan preparation.

Further, members assembled at a serene location at the Assembly’s Guest House for the preparation and

development of the District Plan. Funds were adequately allocated for the plan preparation.

There was open discussion, critical analysis, presentations, dialogue and intermittent search from sources

to get appropriate information. There was also a brief visit by the Regional Planning Officer to the

Planning meeting of DPCU members to guide their work and make some contributions.

ii) DISSEMINATION

Mobile van with loud speakers, Letters, Notice Boards, Local Information Centers,, Community Durbars,

Seminars, Workshops and the meetings with Chiefs and the people of the various communities in each

Electoral Area in the district are some of the ways by which information is disseminated in the district.

5. S E C U R I T Y

The security situation in the District has remained relatively calm. Due to the peculiar situation in the

district, the security situation can be grouped into four areas namely; Community unrest, Chieftaincy

unrest, Activities of Armed robbers and Road Safety.

a. COMMUNITY UNREST

There is no unrest in the various communities in the District as regards creed, sex, tribe, ethnic or political

affiliations. Our communities co-exist in peace with one another.


62

b. CHIEFTAINCY UNREST

Despite various protracted chieftaincy situations in the District, none has resulted into any violent outrage

threatening life and property. Little eruptions eminent at Dompoase and Dasubemadwen in the District

have been nipped in the bud due to the pragmatic and timely measures undertaken by the District Security

Committee (D.S.C).

c. ARMED ROBBERY ACTIVITIES

The district is prone to Armed Robbery activities. There is reliable information that the armed robbers use

the scarp between Fomena and Asokwa as their operational zone as well as the stretch of the bad nature of

the road at Kyeaboso. Unfortunately, Police strength in the district is low and therefore relies on the

adjoining Districtities and districts for reinforcement to be able to combat highway robberies.

d. P O L I C E

The Police personnel strength in the district is woefully inadequate. The district capital cannot even boast

of (15) fifteen Police Officers whilst the major communities in the District namely; Fumso, Akrokerri,

Dompoase, Aboabo, Asokwa, Bodwesango and Anhwiaso have less than five (5) Police personnel or none

at post. Police patrol is also irregular due to lack of patrol vehicles and personnel. With the introduction

of the community policing under the youth and employment programme in the district, there is hope that

the armed robbery situation will be brought under control.

e. F I R E:

1. DOMESTIC FIRE

Cases of domestic fire were received from Anhwiaso and Nyankumasu. Superficially, the number of

cases is very insignificant. In all these cases, indiscriminate handling of naked flames has caused the

hazard.

2. BUSH FIRE

Bush fires caused by individuals have been on the low side. This would be attributed to the intensive

educational campaign mounted by NADMO in conjunction with the National Fire Service and

Agricultural Extension Agents. Communities are always advised to grow green belts to protect their

settlements.

f. DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Management of disasters in the district is very effective. They are managed based on the kind of disaster

that occurs at a particular location. The disasters which normally occur in the district include

domestic/bushfire outbreaks, rainstorms, epidemics and so on.


63

When communities in the district are hit by rainstorms, the District Directorate of NADMO liaises with

the District Assembly, the Regional Directorate of NADMO and the National Headquarters of NADMO

for a befitting relief package to be sent to the affected community

If there is a fire outbreak, both domestic and bushfires alike, the District Directorate of NADMO in

collaboration with the outfit of the District Fire Service and the District Directorate of MOFA to bring all

fire outbreaks under control, after which the necessary relief packages are given to the victims.

If an epidemic breaks out, the District Directorate of NADMO liaises with the District Directorate of

Health Services to bring the situation under control.

vii. SOCIAL SERVICES

In line with one of the thematic areas of the current National Development Framework, the Assembly

hopes to ensure the development of a knowledgeable, well trained, disciplined and healthy human

resource in the District with the capacity to drive and sustain both the Public and Private Sector to grow.

The key areas of focus as major components under this theme are:

i. Education

ii. Health Care

iii. Youth and Sport Development

iv. Manpower Development

v. Population Management

vi. Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation

vii. Decent Housing

viii.The protection of the right of the vulnerable , especially Women and Children

ix. People with disability and the elderly

x. HIV/AIDS

xi. Skills and entrepreneurial development.

EDUCATION

1.0 DISTRIBUTION AND LOCATION OF SCHOOLS

Adansi North District is a rural district with most of the communities situated in the hinterland. The

number of communities along the major road is far less than those in the hinterlands.

Most of the Basic Schools are public whilst few are private. The rest of the institutions including the

Teacher Training College are public.

Most of the pre-schools, primary and J.H.S are located in the rural circuits. Though five of circuit centres

are located along the road. Over 70% of the schools in the circuits are in the hinterland.

Table 1 below gives an account of the number of circuits with their corresponding schools (both public

and private)

TOTAL 103 107 76 4 1

Table 1 above shows that Akrokerri Circuit had the highest number of schools in the District. This has

been attributed to the fact that:

1. The Circuit had the highest school enrolment which called for establishment of mores schools.

2. The circuit was advantaged in terms of infrastructure which is a pulling factor to residents.

3. Most parents in the circuit, especially at the circuit centre are well educated and public workers who

encourage their children to go to school.

The table also shows that Dompoase circuit had the least number of schools. Some of the factors identified

as having accounted for that are;

1. The typical rural nature of the area with farming as the main occupation.

2. The settlements are scattered in nature with less number of children of school going age which makes

the sitting of schools difficult.

3. Attitude of inhabitants towards education and lack of unit communities and other community groups

to help in enrolment drive.

2.0 PHYSICAL FACILITIES

the District has 94 Pre-schools, 99 Primary Schools, 58 Junior High Schools, 4 Senior High Schools and 1

College of Education. Most of the Basic School buildings are in deplorable state with cracked walls, rotten

windows and door frames, rusting and leaking roofs. The situation is more pronounced in the remote

areas, ie Aduposo D/A Primary, Asirifikrom D/A J.H.S etc. are weak and temporary structured. The

situation needs

Immediate intervention if the District is to actualize its human resource potentials. Teachers’ Bungalows,

pupils’ furniture, teachers’ tables and chairs, library and J.H.S workshops are also lacking in most of the

schools in the District.

4.0AVAILABILITY OF PRIMARY AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN THE COMMUNITIES

Though the District is a very large one with small towns and villages scattered all over, this does not in

fact make it possible to site primary schools in all the villages. However, in order to satisfy the educational

needs of every community many of the schools were built at sites carefully selected to ensure that the

schools are accessible to other villages and towns. In all, there are 103 primary schools in the District with

Akrokerri Circuit having 19 primary schools.

Communities such as Akwansrem, Akrokerri, Bodwesango, Bobriase, each have two primary schools, It is

important to note that though the number of primary schools required in the District is enormous; the

school going age size of the population of the school going children in some communities did not permit

the sitting of schools.

Again due to the issue of lack of resources and the required population, the District lacked the required

number of J.H.S. The number of J.H.S in the school is lower than that of the primary. The total number is

56. This explains why the ratio of J.H.S to primary is 1:2. This put pressure on the available J.H.S in the

District to admit more without the corresponding expansion in infrastructure.

5.0 EDUCATIONAL UNITS

The District Director is responsible for the management of education in the District. However, individuals

and groups, especially Religious bodies, have established educational management units to be responsible

for the schools they have established.

Though the faith-based organizations assign their unit heads specific responsibilities which have great

influence on the day-to-day running of their establishment, those schools are still considered to be public.

This is because these schools have been absorbed by the government and thus provides all the necessary

logistics and material resources to the schools.

The government employs and pays labour for the running of these schools. Those faith-based management

schools are called by the names of the faith-based organizations, whilst names of the based ones are called

District Assembly (D/A) schools. The faith-based schools in the District are Christian and Islamic schools.

mono desks has been supplied to schools for pupils use; whilst teachers have been supplied only 90 tables

and chairs when the District was established.

6.0TEACHER PROFILE

Due to the fact that the District is rural and deprived, it has never had the full complement of teaching

personnel since its creation six years ago. Teachers posted to the District for reposting in most cases refuse

to accept posting to the rural schools.

Current teacher populations in the District reveals that one third 1/3 of the teachers in the District are pupil

teachers. There are 340 trained teachers as against 113 untrained teachers.

Out of a total of 453 teachers 317 are male whilst 136 are female. There are 158 teachers in the private

schools but only 8 are trained.

The District Assembly is assisting UTTDBE students to enable them become professional teachers for the

District.

7.0 TEACHER DISTRIBUTION

Obviously, untrained teachers are not ranked according to GES rules due to the fact that they are not

professional. In all, there are 340 trained teachers in basic schools and 140 in the four S.H.S in the

District.

The pupil teacher ratios of pre-school, primary, J.H.S for the District are 54:1, 36:1, 21:1, and 24:1

respectively.

The national pupil teacher ratio for the pre-school, primary, J.H.S and S.H.S are 25:1, 35:1, 25:1, and 25:1

respectively.

Though some schools have very high population most of the remaining schools are sparsely populated.

There are some schools which have three or less teachers such as Asirifikrom and Tawiakrom D/A

Primary schools.

8.0 SCHOOL PERFORMANCE

BECE

Out of a total of 2199 made up of 1189 boys and 1010 girls presented for 2008/2009 BECE Exams 886

boys and 562 girls representing 73.53% and 55.10% had aggregate between 7 – 30.

To address the poor quality of education delivery in the District, the following measures have been put in

place:

District Level Examination has been introduced based on the Ghana Education Service

approved syllabus and the first papers are written at the end of the first term.

The District Assembly has passed Truancy Free bye-law designed to encourage all school-

going children to be in school during school hours.

The Assembly will support about 40 needy students annually from its budget.

9.0 Key Development Problems Relating to Education

Inadequate accommodation for teachers;

Overcrowding of the pupils due to high enrolment rate course by the policy of the capitation grant

and the school feeding programme;

Poor school infrastructure in some schools;

Absenteeism and lateness to schools by teachers especially by those who commute from towns to

the rural areas to teach; and

Poor school results by schools in the District.

2. HEALTH CARE

INCIDENCE OF DISEASES;

HIV/AIDS “know your status”

In 2013, 1460 people were tested and 41 were reactive and 1419 were non reactive and those reactive

cases were referred to ART centre. Laboratory test were also carried out in Akrokerri Health Centre,

Fomena Health Centre and Benito Health Centre and 69 people tested positive.

MALARIA

In the year 2013, 40070 malaria cases were recorded in the district of which 11764 were children below

(5) years representing 29% of the total cases recorded and 26480 were from five years and sbove also

represent 66% while 1826 which forms 4% of the total cases recorded were pregnant women.

ACCES TO HEALTH FACILITIES;

Accessibility of health facilities in the district is evenly distributed. However, few communities have

problems accessing their health needs due to long distance coupled with the fact that some of the road are

motorable, example are the people of Nsokote who find it difficult to access their health facilities at

Aboabo health centre during the raining season. Also communities around Agogooso and Adokwai have

to access their health facilities from Fomena but due to the long distance, they rather access health care at

Amansie East a neibouring district.

INFANT / MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE

Adansi North District being a newly created district, is yet to collect data on infant/maternal mortality rate.

Information gathered from the health directorate indicates that infants and mothers are normally referred

to hospitals outside the district, when their conditions are critical.

NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME

The National Health Insurance has made significant achievement through education and sensitization of

all the stake holders. The scheme which use to be managed be eleven member board is now taken off by

the Care Taker Committee which includes District Coordinating Director, District Finance Officer,

Representative from NHIS- Region and District Scheme Manager.

71

The Assembly has made significant achievements in the implementation of the Health Insurance Scheme.

Some of the activities which have been undertaken in the district include coding of homes, education and

sensitization, registration, training of agents, picture taking etc.

The details are as follows:

Total number of people registered – 25,417

Formal sector registered –1,000

Total Cards issued - 980

Beneficiaries - 383

Photo – taking -12,000

The Assembly has already registered the scheme with the Registrar General’s Department and has

obtained a Certificate of Incorporation. An eleven (11) member interim board of trustee has been

constituted with the scheme manager as the secretary. The board was inaugurated on 23rd June 2006.

In addition, a management team has been appointed following an interim report conducted by the

Assembly in conjunction with the board.

Currently, an office for the health insurance management team has been renovated. The office is located

between Old Ayaase junction and New Ayaase road.

2.1 Key Health Problems

Presence of endemic diseases such as malaria, tuberculoses, bilharzias;

Inadequate health infrastructure;

Inadequate office and financial accommodation for health staff;

Poor sanitation and bad environment practices leading to malaria and cholera;

Inadequate staff (doctors, professional nurses and paramedics); and

Financial inaccessibility of health care delivery due to poverty.

3. WATER & SANITATION

WATER SUPPLY

The Adansi North District has had 57.4% of its perennial water problems solved, however considering the

population of some of the communities like; Fumso, Fomena, Dompoase, Akrokerri, Anhwiaso etc; these

communities need to have Small Town Water Supply Project yet they are being served with boreholes,

which is inadequate.

Fomena has a small Town pumping station which provides potable water to the people. But this facility is

old and often breaks down thereby denying the people of potable water. Besides, the running cost of the

facility makes it uneconomical to manage.

KFW (RWSP IV)

Under the Rural Water Supply Project IV the district benefited from the construction of 91 number

boreholes in 42 selected communities. The project had improved water supply situation in the district

tremendously.


72

RWSPIV EXTENSION

Under this project the district is benefitting from 25 number additional boreholes to be distributed in 17

selected communities. Sitting had been completed and drilling would soon commence. After completion,

the total number of boreholes under RWSP1V to 116 boreholes in 59 communities.

SMALL TOWN WATER SUPPLY PROJECT

Major settlements in the district like to Fumso, Fomena and Dompoase now have access to potable water

under the Small Town Water Supply Project (STWSP). Akrokerri, Bodwesango and Anhwiaso are being

considered for similar intervention.

Below are the statistics of the stand pipes in the beneficiary communities:

Dompoase 13

Fumso 8

Fomena, Kusa and New Ayaase had 14

3.1 Key Development Problems

Difficulty in accessing the facility due to distance

Poor maintenance culture of water facilities

Inability of the community to pay the matching fund

Ineffective WATSANS and Water Boards

4. SANITATION SITUATION (WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)

LIQUID AND SOLID WASTE

i) LIQUID WASTE

There are about 35 public latrines serving the population of 120,000 in the district. This is woefully

inadequate; there is therefore the need to construct about 101 new public latrines in the district in order to

improve the sanitation situation in the district.

Fortunately, the district will soon be provided with 200 House – Hold latrine facilities by KFW in the

RWSP IV. When this is done, the sanitation situation in the district would improve significantly.

ii) SOLID WASTE

This area was also a big challenge to the district in terms of its management. There were piles of refuse

throughout the district especially in the bigger communities like. Dompoase, Akrokerri, Fomena,

Asokwa, Fumso etc.

Presumably, the volume of refuse estimated was about15 tonnes. Interestingly, the district was able to

carry out with refuse evacuation exercise in December, 2013 in 10 communities and about 8 tonnes of

refuse were evacuated on 15 heaped refuse dumps and this has reduced the volume to 7 tonnes.


73

A land was acquired through the assistance of the FOMENA TRADITIONAL COUNCIL to serve

as a final disposal site for only dry waste.

Key Development Problems

Inadequate toilet facilities and sanitary facilities

Indiscriminate defecation and throwing of refuse

Non-acceptance of communities on modern toilet faculties.

DRAINAGE SYSTEM

The District can only boast of very limited drainage system, located in some few communities like:

Akrokerri, Bobriase, Dompoase, Brofoyedru and Fomena. With the absence of these systems, erosions

are formed and finally created gulleys in-between houses. The poor drainage system at Akrokerri for

example has created an unpleasant environmental situation to the detriment of the health of the people.

Poor drainage system can cause the following:

Disease(s) out break

Flooding

Damage to property (eg. Premises)

It is therefore the responsibility of the District Assembly to construct more drains in order to alleviate

some of these disasters.

viii. VULNERABILITY

Majority of the people practice subsistence farming. They hardly get credit facilities to expand their

farms. This situation predisposes them to poverty. As a result they find it difficult to meet their social

obligations like payment of taxes and school fees. Poverty is therefore wide spread in the district.

In view of the high illiteracy rate among farmers, agricultural research findings cannot be utilized to their

advantage. The ratio of farmers to extension officers is high, therefore rendering farmers inaccessible to

extension services.

The district faces a threat of HIV/AIDS infection because of its proximity to Obuasi, an area known to

have high prevalence rate of 4.0% as against national prevalence rate of 3.1%. The hilly nature of the

areas around Kusa, force drivers to pass the nights at Fomena and Kusa; such drivers can also spread the

disease. An association of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAS) known as PRECIOUS LIFE has

been formed at Asokwa. It is therefore a manifestation that, some communities like Asokwa, Fumso and

Akrokerri are threatened with the pandemic. The district could therefore be at risk. The District

Assembly would conduct a baseline survey on HIV/AIDS and step up a Behavioural Change

Communication (BCC) as a strategy to control the spread of the disease.

Physical developments in the district did not make room for disability issues. Artificial barriers have

inadvertently been created in the communities which impede movement of persons with disabilities

(PWDS). PWDS are technically prevented from using public facilities like toilets and school buildings.

The district will ensure that such artificial barriers are removed to allow easy movement. In line with the


74

Disability Law, the new District Assembly block has the necessary provisions that would facilitate easy

movement by PWDS.

Indiscriminate felling of trees for lumber also poses a serious threat to the environment. The District

Assembly would form a task force to clamp down chain saw operators in order to prevent further

degradation of the environment.

The markets at Fumso, Bodwesango and Pipiiso are normally patronized by school children as porters.

This truant behaviour affect teaching and learning in the schools. If this behaviour is not checked, the

dropout rate will increase and eventually human resource development will adversely be affected. The

district will have to enact bye-laws to control school children and oblige parents to be responsible to their

wards

5. Gender Issues

Hindrance to progress in the fight against gender discrimination include, lack of reliable data

disaggregated by sex, the scarcity of financial and technical resources for women’s programmes and lack

of representation in the political arena. Gender discrimination in the District will be addressed as stated in

the Millennium Development Goals of promoting gender equality and empower women within the plan

period. The District seeks to reduce by 15% disparity in primary and secondary schooling for the girl

child.

Programmes such as economic empowerment in agriculture sector through credit facilities for women

farmers, sensitization of women on domestic violence bills, disability bills and encouraging the women to

accept public office in our local government structures would be pursued. More girl-child enrolment in

second cycle and possibly third cycle schools/colleges would be pursued for them to serve as role models.

6. Information, Communication and Technology (ICT)

Adansi North District Assembly is making progress in the Development of Information, Communication

and Technology (ICT) and is ensuring that information technology gets to all facets of the District

development especially in education and health.

In the light of the above, adequate infrastructure will be provided to both basic and the second-cycle

schools within the District. The provision of Community Information Centre (CIC) at Dompoase which

has 24 hour internet service for both institutions and the general public is a case in point.

ICT has the capacity to inform majority of the rural populace who are farmers on improved agricultural

technology, health, gender, education and security issues.

The current trend of the concentration of ICT centers in the urban centres will be improved with the

establishment of information centres in the rural areas to disseminate information on government

programmes and governance issues.

7. Development Indicators of the District

In measuring the progress of development in the District, certain benchmarks must be observed. Positive

changes in these indicators over a time period after the execution of development interventions will mean

that the Assembly is making progress towards improving the lives of the people.

On the other hand, a negative decline of these indicators will also be a call for caution and a challenge for

much more interventions to be put in place. The development indicators compiled for the District are

cross-cutting, from demographic to social and economic issues.

Eliciting Community Perspective on Development Issues and Aspirations

In order to arrive at a comprehensive and all encompassing development issues and aspirations for the

District, three areas have been thoroughly considered:

Development issues arising from the Performance Review of the MTDP (2010-2013);

Development Issues identified and compiled for the Profile/Current Situation analysis of the

District; and

Development issues gather from the community through the plans of the Area Councils – the

current aspirations and wishes of the people.

These three areas have been synchronized to arrive as the Eliciting Community Development Issues and

Aspirations. These issues have been grouped under the thematic areas of the current Development

Framework (GSGDA, 2014-2017) as tabulated below:

CHAPTER TWO

DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES

2.1 Introduction

From the Performance Review and the Development Profile/current situation of the Adansi North District as

presented in chapter one, it is very apparent that a lot needs to be done to match up the development status of

the District with the desired situation as set in the GSGDA (2014-2017). This chapter therefore presents the

development priorities – the needs and aspirations of the District, based on the current thematic areas of the

GSGDA II.

2.2 Categorizing Development Issues under GSGDA 1 and GSGDA 11

For a more diagnostic observation, the District Development Issues as highlighted at the later part of chapter

one can be classified under the thematic areas of both the GSGDA I (2010-2013) and the GSGDA II (2014-

2017). This picture presents a stage of comparison of the problems and assess whether some consistency have

been maintained with regards to plans preparation and implementation in the District and the nation at large.

The table below presents the comparison:

2.3 Linking Harmonised Development Issues with the GSGDA II

After harmonising community needs and aspirations with the key development gaps/issues of GSGDA I, there

is the need to again relate the harmonised identified development issues to the themes of GSGDA II (2014 -

2017) to ascertain the extent to which the identified issues are related to the thematic areas of the 2014 -2017

National Development Framework. Details of the analysis are shown in the table below:

KEY FOR SCORING

Strong Linkage - 3

Moderate Linkage - 2

Weak Linkage - 1

No linkage - 0

From the table above, the total scores for the seven thematic areas is 272; divided by the number of harmonised

identified development issues (22) gives an average score of 12.4

This is a clear indication that the harmonized identified development issues are in line/consonance with the

GSGDA (2014-2017).

2.4 Prioritization of Harmonized District Development Issues

After identifying the major issues, the next stage is the setting up of priorities for the interventions considered

for implementation. The Table below depicts how the identified issues were prioritized under the thematic areas

88

of the 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Frame Work, using the multiplier, widespread, and linkage

effects. Below is the key for the prioritization and table 2.3 shows the prioritized development issues.

From the above tables, the development issues were prioritized based on the scoring as follows:

1. Transparent and Accountable Governance

2. Human Development, Employment and Productivity

3. Infrastructure and Human Settlements Development

4. Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability

5. Accelerated Agricultural Modernization and Natural Resource Management

6. Enhanced competitiveness of Ghana’s Private Sector

7. Oil and Gas

The policy implications of the above assessment indicate that the focus of the District Development Agenda

would be geared towards the improvement of transparent and accountable governance, and developing the

human resources for national development followed by others in the order presented above. This does not mean

that other areas would be less attended to but would serve as the basis in pursuing them. A lot more resources

need to be channeled into the provision of educational, health, water and sanitation infrastructure. Other very

essential areas of attention are HIV/AIDS, gender equality, environmental concerns and population

management issues. The development agenda if pursued under transparent and accountable governance will

enhance the achievement of other said objectives under other thematic areas.

90

2.5 Prioritization of Spatial Location

Community needs and aspirations of the Seven (7) Area Councils were harmonized to constitute the

needs/aspirations of the development needs of the people.

The idea for harmonizing the programmes and projects was to group programmes and projects that are similar

and further prioritize those programmes and projects based on the following criteria:

i Responsiveness

ii Eligibility

iii Cost

iv Grouping

v Synergy

In view of the financial resource constraints, programmes and projects were scaled down on the number of

similar project that could be undertaken within the plan period (2014-2017).

Sub-structural needs based on the 7 Area Councils were harmonized based on the programmes and projects

submitted through participation of the Sub-structures.

Below are the needs and aspirations of the Sub-structures and their ranking based on the priorities of the Area

Councils.

From the harmonisation of the Priorities of the Area Councils, the result indicated that school infrastructure,

potable water and sanitary facilities, provision of electricity, rehabilitation of roads, extension of school feeding

programme to deprived schools, as well as construction of market centres are the prioritised needs and

aspiration in that order.

From the educational aspect, it is a clear demonstration of increase in enrolment at both basic and second cycle

schools as a result of government policy of capitation grant, school feeding programme, free school uniforms

and free exercise books which call for the increase and enhancement of school infrastructure to accommodate

the increase in enrolment.

Equitable access to water and sanitation facilities continues to be a challenge in the District.

This is partly due to population growth and it requires the need to embark on expansion of the existing facilities

so as to reach the newly developed areas and some out joining communities.

To solve the problem of sanitation and improve the sanitation the Assembly will have to seek support from

(CWSA) and other development partners for water and sanitation interventions.

94

The issue of access to electricity and its expansion throughout the District is of great importance in that it is

useful in promoting small scale businesses and agro-processing and safe environment. The newly developed

area of the towns and urban centres within the District together with some other agro-processing centres needs

electricity extended to them.

Improving the road surfacing and network conditions is also an area in which the Area councils expressed their

felt needs since the poor and deplorable road network in some communities affect their accessibility to some

social infrastructure like Hospital and market for their agricultural products.

Provision of health care and health education is another important need of the people. This is also a key area

that the Assembly in promoting human resource development. Considering the priority needs, cost and

responsiveness as factors of the project implementation of the District they were ranked in that order to be in

line with the District goal and objectives.

2.6 List of Prioritized Development Issues

From the above prioritisation analysis, the harmonized development aspirations of the people of the District can

be listed according to the order of necessity as follows:

1. Construction /rehabilitation of educational Infrastructure.

2. Provision of Health facilities and Health talks

3. Construction of Market centres

4. Provision of Sanitary facilities and Portable Water.

5. Construction/rehabilitation of roads

6. Extension/provision of Electricity

The development priorities cut across all the seven (7) Area Councils and therefore are presented as the

common concerns of the people in the District.

2.7 Application of Potential, Opportunities, Constraints and Challenges (POCC)

This section covers the potentials and opportunities that are available to the District Assembly which could be

exploited or taken advantage of in addressing the development needs. It also outlines some constraints and

challenges that must be limited so as to prevent them from impeding the development efforts. The POCC

Analysis is based on the development issues of the District.

CHAPTER THREE

DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

3.1 Introduction

A goal is an anticipated desired state which reflects a general improvement of the conditions of an individual

organisation from a weak or poor state to a better one in the medium to long term, thus the expectation in the

long term.

The District Goal should be peculiar to the district but must be compatible with the National Goal to avoid

conflict and enhance monitoring and evaluation and also to ensure harmonisation.

In pursuing the “Better Ghana Agenda”, the Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF) aimed at creating

wealth, improve incomes and reducing poverty by sustaining economic growth and minimizing social and

economic deprivation towards achieving MDGs and the middle income status

3.2 DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT FOCUS

Ghana as a nation is resolute to accelerate the growth of the economy so as to improve the well-being of her

citizens by the year 2017. This depends to a large extent, on the pragmatic measures put in place under the

Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (GSGDA II 2014-2017) especially, stabilising the macro

economy in addition to supporting environment for transforming the nature of the economy. The Ghana Shared

Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA 2014-2017) emphasises on; Accelerated Agriculture

Modernization and Agro-based Industrial Development, Developing Human Resources for National

Development, Transparent and Accountable Governance, Improvement and sustenance of macroeconomic

stability, Expanded development of production Infrastructure, Sustainable partnerships between Government

and the Private Sector, Reducing Poverty and Income Inequalities and Oil and Gas Development.

The Medium Term Development Plan (2014 – 2017) which has been infused with Strategic Environment

Assessment (SEA) recommendations, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Gender Issues focuses on

policies, strategies and programmes relating to continue macroeconomic stability, accelerated Agriculture

Modernization and Agro-based Industrial Development and other interventions that are necessary to propel the

economy into higher growth path and accelerated poverty reduction.

103

Adansi North is therefore focused on a holistic and sustainable development, where, the empowerment of the

vulnerable groups take a centre stage in an environment where the sub-structures of the Assembly are

strengthened and made functional to ensure a bottom-up approach to development.

The broad strategic direction for Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (GSGDA II 2014-2017)

focuses on;

1. ENSURING AND SUSTAINING MACROECONOMIC STABILITY

2. INFRASTRUCTURE AND HUMAN SETTLEMENTS DEVELOPMENT

.

3. ACCELERATED AGRICULTURE MODERNIZATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE

MANAGEMENT

4. ENHANCED COMPETITIVENESS OF GHANA’S PRIVATE SECTOR

5. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, EMPLOYMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY

6. TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE

7. OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT

3.2 DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT GOAL

The Adansi North District wishes to achieve an accelerated development, where poverty will be reduced

drastically among the people through the creation of jobs especially by making the Agricultural sector very

attractive to the youth, ensuring that agro-based and other small scale industries grow, provision of accessible

and affordable education, provision of quality health care, supply of potable water, strengthening of the district

administrative and substructures and ensuring that there is good security in the district within the planned

period.

3.3 DEVELOPMENT PROJECTIONS FOR 2014 – 2017 BASED ON THE GHANA SHARED

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA (GSGDA II 2014-2017)

Knowledge about the current and future needs of the district is very vital in development planning. It is with

this information base, that decisions on issues can be made regarding the kind of interventions with respect to

104

the district goal to set. The prioritized issues should be used as the basis for development projections for the

district for 2014 – 2017 planning period. The projections for 2014 – 2017 in terms of education e.g: projected

enrolment, demand for teachers, on health demand for Doctors, water and sanitation etc.

From Table (a) the demand for professional teachers in Pre-schools in the district is more acute than that of

Primary schools for the year 2014, as many as 306 trained teachers were required to handle the7655 children in

the 74 Pre-schools, only 42 trained teachers are tasked and 513 trained teachers were required to handle the17,

943 pupils in the 81 primary schools, 329 trained teachers are engaged.

This is based on the national norm for application of Educational resources which is 25 children to a teacher in

Pre-school and 35 pupils to one teacher in primary school.

Out of the above mentioned figures of 306 and 513 trained teachers required in Pre-schools and primary

schools, 42 and 329 are in the district with a shortage of 264 and 184 respectively. Though there are 371

untrained teachers filling some of the gaps, there is the urgent need to replace them with more qualified ones

since it is the desire of the district to have quality education for the children.

At the J.S.S. level, the situation is encouraging since the number of teachers handling the J.S.S. level is almost

equal to the national quota. The problem we have is the unwillingness of the teachers to accept postings to the

rural areas. This has resulted in many of the teachers commuting to school from nearby towns daily.

From Table (d) there are 220 schools (Pre-schools, Primary and J.S.S) in the district. Out of this 116 of them

have permanent buildings and another 712 of them attend classes in temporary structures. In 2009 when

schools are expected to increase by fifteen percent, 86 schools or more will have no permanent structures if

measures are not taken to address the anomaly.

Of much concern is the furniture situation in the schools. From Table (e) only 7,325 pupils in Pre-school,

primary and J.S.S. have access to chairs with tables. The implication is that as many as 24,440 pupils learn

without chairs and tables.

CHAPTER FOUR

FORMULATION OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

4.1 Introduction

The transformation that leads to growth can actually meet the needs and aspirations of the people if projects are

well-programmed. The formulation of development programme is based on a sound and realistic logical

framework. Logical Framework (Log frame) is a vital project planning device that can be used to serve as a

guide in directing the activities of development programmes or projects for an expected result. The Logical

framework indicates the diverse components of the development programmes and projects. It shows the overall

development goal, programme purpose or objectives, the output/result and activities. It shows the Objectively

Verifiable Indicators (OVIs), which serve as the indicator for measuring the level of targets, the Means of

Verification (MoV) of the projects and programmes and the important assumptions or environmental check are

all spelt out in the logical framework.

The tables shows the logical framework in line with the Medium -Term Policy Framework, Ghana Shared

Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA, 2014-2017)

CHAPTER FIVE

IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS AND ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

5.1 Introduction

This chapter is the annual break down of the various programmes and projects yearly under each theme to form a composite from chapter four. The

broad programmes and projects here have been sub-divided annually for smooth execution.

5.2 Implementation Arrangement

The effective implementation of this Medium-Term Plan will entail the active involvement of the following:

The Municipal Assembly: The Municipal Assembly is the custodian and manager of the plan, and therefore would desire to see that the plan is

implemented. To ensure this, the Municipal Assembly will have to undertake the following tasks;

i) effectively mobilise funds for the implementation of the projects.

ii) co-ordinate and monitor the implementation of all the projects outlined in this plan and also put in place measures for evaluating the plan.

iii) provide competent technical and administrative staff and logistics to facilitate the execution of all projects.

iv) identify and promptly respond to all implementation bottlenecks.

v) identify, contact and attract potential private investors into the district.

vi) carry out periodic review of the plan implementation so that corrective measures are taken in response to changing circumstances.

vii) maintain an effective and efficient information flow system so that all parties involved in the implementation of the plan know what is

happening where and when.

Departments: These are both direct implementers and facilitators. They are mainly to offer technical advice to the execution of projects.

Non-Governmental Organizations: They are to offer financial support and technical advice. They also will have to invest directly towards the

implementation of the plan.

The Private Sector: The private sector is expected to play an important role in investing directly in especially industry, tourism and agriculture.

145

Communities: The community will have to make land and labour available for the implementation of some of the projects in the plan and must

participate fully.

Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements

6.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Plan

All planning efforts should be result-oriented and must be aimed at improving the well being of the population.

Monitoring and Evaluation is a means through which the success of a plan is ensured and measured. The

District Assembly would prepare a Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) Plan to provide an effective and

efficient system for tracking the progress of projects and programmes in the Medium-Term Development Plan.

The (M & E) Plan would provide a framework for management to obtain relevant information that can be used

to assess progress of implementation of projects and to take timely decisions to ensure that progress is

maintained according to schedule. It would also enable management to determine whether or not projects are

yielding intended results, most especially, whether the expected impacts of implemented programmes and

projects are being achieved.

The overall responsibility of monitoring and evaluation of programmes and projects in the 4-Year Medium

Term Development Plan lies with the District Planning and Co-ordination Unit (DPCU). Various units and

departments have been assigned specific monitoring and evaluation responsibilities; the DPCU would

consequently coordinate all these activities. Quarterly and Annual Progress Reports would be prepared and

disseminated to stakeholders. Copies of the reports would be submitted to the National Development Planning

Commission (NDPC) and the Regional Planning and Co-ordinating Unit (RPCU). It is expected that NDPC and

RPCU would carry out general overview of all monitoring and evaluation activities in the District.

ADANSI NORTH DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2014-2017)

296

Chapter 7

Communication Strategy

The District Assembly would have in place a Communication Strategy as part of the M & E Plan. The strategy

would ensure that the MTDP, and Quarterly and Annual Progress Reports generated from monitoring activities

are disseminated to Community members, Assembly Members, Town/Area Council Members, Decentralised

Departments and other District level stakeholders. Copies of same reports would also be submitted to RPCU,

NDPC, MDAs and Development Partners.

The dissemination techniques to be used would include stakeholder’s workshop, discussion and broadcast on

local radio stations and community meetings. These would promote information Sharing and improve

accountability and transparency of the Assembly. They would also show the Assembly’s commitment to

development and poverty reduction and further increase stakeholders’ commitment to support development

interventions that will emanate from M & E activities.

Stakeholders would be informed of the roles expected of them in the implementation of programmes, projects

and activities in the plan. Mechanisms for promoting dialogue and providing feedback would form part of the

strategy to ensure that lessons learnt are applied to planning and decision making by the District Assembly.

Issues relating to improved access to services of the Assembly and management of expectations of the public

would also be dealt with.
