EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION The Ellembelle District Assembly (EDA) was created in December 2007 by L.I. 1918 and
inaugurated in February 2008. It was carved out of the then Nzema East District, now Nzema
East Municipal. The District has undergone the implementation of two (2) Medium Term
Development Plan namely GPRS II (2006 – 2009) and GSGDA I (2014-2017), of which the former
was an adopted plan from the erstwhile Nzema East District Assembly now a Municipality.
During the previous planning regime, the EDA strategized to leverage the implementation of
the GSGDA I within the context of the strategies, objectives, as well as overarching goal of the
Government’s Comprehensive National Medium Term Development Policy Framework (2010 –
2013), referred to as, the Ghana and Shared Growth Development Agenda (GSGDA 1).
Despite its few years in existence, the District managed and complemented the national efforts
of achieving a middle income status with interventions geared towards job creation and
increased household incomes as well as general living condition of the people. The priority
areas were improved road network, improved sanitation conditions, improved access to safe
water, enhanced social services especially health and education, improved financial support,
farm inputs for both crop farming and fishing, and Employment creation, sub-structure
development, improved literacy level, gender equality and HIV prevention as spelt out under
the seven thematic areas of Priority namely Ensuring and Sustaining macroeconomic stability,
Enhancing Competiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector, Accelerated agriculture modernization and
Sustainable Natural Resource Management, Oil and Gas Development, Infrastructure, Energy
and Human Settlement, Transparent and accountable governance and Human Development,
Productivity, productivity and Employment
9
On the backdrop that the District was implementing its first MTDP, much as it tried to
improve the lives of the people through the implementation of the programmes and
projects in 2010-2013 DMTD Plans, it was confronted with a countless number of challenges
and constraints. Significant among these are inadequate and untimely release of
Government and Donor funds, limited Human Resources, low sub structures participation,
inadequate data for planning purposes, high cost of goods and services, inadequate internal
revenue among others.
Against this background, the District Assembly in consultation with its stakeholders has re-
aligned the strategies within the context of the Ghana Shared Growth and Development
Agenda (GSGDA 1) 2010-2013 to harness all facets of resources both internal and external
to implement programmes and projects with the view of complementing government’s
growth inducing policies and programmes under the following priorities and thematic areas:
1. Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability;
2. Enhancing Competitiveness of Ghana’s Private Sector;
3. Accelerated Agriculture Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resource Management;
4. Oil and Gas Development;
5. Infrastructure and Human Settlements;
6. Human Development, Productivity and Employment;
7. Transparent and Accountable Governance
In preparing this Medium Term Development Plan, the Ellembelle District in strict
adherence to the guidelines from the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC),
employed a series of planning workshops, meetings and community interface involving all
key stakeholders viz. community members, opinion leaders, Assembly members, NGOs,
DPCU members, political parties and the private sector. The draft plan was presented to the
General Assembly for popular debate and adoption in compliance with the NDPC guidelines.
METHODOLOGY A participatory process was used in preparing this plan. The processes were based on the
guidelines provided by the National Development Planning Commission in the preparation
of the 2014 – 2017 MTDPs. In the plan preparation process, the DPCU adopted a multi –
stage method used in plan preparation. These steps included:
10
1. DPCU meetings to discuss the objectives of the plan and to inform members of their
respective roles in the preparation and compilation of the plan.
2. Collection of data on existing situation, problems and plans of the decentralized and
centralized departments in the district.
3. Collation of Departmental information on the performance for the 2010 – 2013 DMTDP
based on the GSGDA 1.
4. Collecting community perspectives on current needs, levels of household income and
expenditure and aspiration of the sub- districts through participatory process.
5. Data collation using secondary sources of Data in addition to Institutional Surveys and
Interviews with target populations, validation and analysis, which involved holding two
workshops at Nkroful, the District Capital
6. Preparation of the draft DMTDP (2014 – 20117) document for public hearing
7. Public hearing on both draft plan and development options (spatial plans) conducted at
Nkroful with key stakeholders like DPCU, Spatial Planning Committee (SPC) and other
key departmental heads.
8. Presentation of first Draft to the general Assembly.
9. Submission of Draft Plan to NDPC for comments and corrections
10. Finalization of the plan document after the public hearing and Public hearing for the
adoption of the Draft Plan
This plan document consists of seven (7) Chapters as contained in the NDPC guidelines and
proceeded by the executive summary. These include:
Chapter 1: Performance Review /Profile/Current Situation/Baseline
Chapter 2: Development Priorities
Chapter 3: Development Goals, Objectives and Strategies
Chapter4: Development Priorities
Chapter 5: District Annual Action Plans
Chapter6: Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements
Chapter 7: Communication Strategies

MISSION
The Ellembelle District Assembly exists to ensure the total development of the District
through effective management of resources in collaboration with Ministries, Department,
Agencies and Non-Governmental Organizations in order to improve the quality of life of the
people in the District.
VISON
The vision of Ellembelle District is to improve livelihood through Equitable Growth and
Sustainable development.
SUMMARY OF KEY OBJECTIVES - To improve access to quality social services in the District
- To harness environmental sustainability in development issues.
- To increase production and productivity in all sectors of the Local Economy
- To improve private sector participation in development.
- To enhance Institutional arrangement for sectoral collaboration on poverty
reduction.
- To encourage indigenous potential resource mobilization towards Local
Economic Development.
- To ensure local Content and local participation across the oil and gas value
chain.
Against the background of the overriding goal and the key objectives, the District
Medium Term Development Plan (2014 – 2017) took cognizance of not only the
deprived nature of the District especially the northern part but also the administrative
and personnel needs confronting the administration of the District. Following the
consultation and town hall meetings held at the community and the departmental
levels, the district was able to fashion out the developmental needs of the people in the
district based on major sectors of the District’s economy. This informs the District of the
scope and directions of the projects and programmes that fed into the 2014 – 2017
DMTDP. Therefore, the scope and direction of the projects and programmes as
identified by the Ellembelle District Assembly covers health, education, water and
12
sanitation, Agriculture, roads, revenue mobilization and expenditure controls, gender
equality, ICT and HIV&AIDS prevention as well as programmes that will empower the
vulnerable and the disadvantaged in the District. Also, issues of climate change,
population, housing, electricity, telecommunication, tourism development and
establishment and strengthening the capacity of various departments and their staffs in
the district are well captured and planned for. These projects and programmes are
captured in the broad Composite of Programme of Action (page 146-180) which covers
the 4 – year planning period and stated under the thematic areas of the Medium Term
Development Policy Framework MTDPF 2014 – 2017). It is based on the prioritized set of
activities of the district and their respective cost. Annual Action plans are also provided
in details (page 181-252) and relate to the various activities, timeframe, output
indicators, annual budgets and implementation agencies.
IIId. SUMMARY OF DISTRICT STRATEGIES
To ensure the realization of the overall goal and objective, the District strategy shall
focus on the underlisted Areas:
- Facilitating support for equitable Human Resourced Development
- Increasing production and promoting sustainable livelihood
- Ensuring good governance
- Encouraging the active involvement of the Private Sector as a key-partner in the
development of the District.
- Ensuring gender equity
- Providing special programmes for the vulnerable and excluded
- Facilitating the provision of Basic Services and infrastructural development.
Also a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan has been developed to ensure
the effective and smooth implementation of the MTDP (2014 – 2014). By the
Monitoring and Evaluation Plan, the responsible actors are to track and assess the
action plan, the respective activities, the time frame, the personnel and materials
required and supplied and the financial flow and cost involved as well as the progress of
work and the technical details of the projects and programmes formulated in this plan.
13
INDICATIVE BUDGET The total budget for the planned activities is estimated at GH₵56,679,754.00 for the 4 –
year period of the plan. The distribution is captured in the Composite Programme of
Action of the MTDP (2014 – 2017). The implementation of the plan is expected to be
funded predominantly through Governmental sources like the DACF, (including the
District Assembly) and Non- Governmental Organizations and Agencies within and
outside the district. Specific sources of funds for the implementation of the plan will
include Internal Generated Funds (IGF), District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) and
grants from Government of Ghana, NGOs, and other Development Partners (DPs) in
and outside the District.
EXPECTED OUTCOME OF THE 2014 – 2017 DMTDP All the projects and programmes of the MTDP (2014 – 2017) are planned and
formulated based on the overarching objective of the Ellembelle District Assembly.
Therefore the expected outcome of this plan will indicate:
Improved agricultural performance
Improved road conditions
Improved telecommunication facilities
Adequate employment opportunities for local people
Improved health delivery system
Improved educational performance
Increased and improved potable water supply
Reduced spread of HIV &AIDS
Enhanced and sustainable women participation in decision making at all levels
Improved environmental and sanitary conditions
Improved electricity coverage
Improved conditions of the vulnerable and the disadvantaged in the district
Effective population management
Increased internally generated revenue (IGR)
Ensured sound financial management
Strengthened institutional collaboration between the central administration
and the Decentralized departments of the District
14

In summary, it is expected that, the effective implementation and management of this
plan will result in poverty reduction, thereby leading to an increase in real income per
capita, greater awareness of gender equality, HIV&AIDS prevention, food security and
sustainable development as well as active community participation in the socio –
economic development of the district.

1.2 ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE REVIEW The Ellembelle District witnessed its first Medium Term Development Plan under the Ghana
Shared Growth Development Agenda after it was separated from the erstwhile Nzema East
District Assembly in 2008. Considerable number of programmes and projects were captured
with its corresponding activities with the aim to fast-track development in the entire
District.
There was a review exercise half way through the planned period and also for the annual
action plan phased out in the Plan. However this saw only a few changes in the entire plan.
New interventions came on board after the plan has been prepared which contributed
immensely towards development. All ongoing projects from previous plan were analyzed
and captured under the new development agenda to ensure harmonized development.
In order to make informed judgment about the performance of the District viz – a – viz the
state of development in the implementation of the projects and programmes set to
enhance the quality of life of the people in relation to the goal and objectives of the Ghana
Shared Growth Development Agenda (GSGDA 1), the Assembly through its District Planning
and Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU) reviewed the programmes and projects annually through the
use of the Annual Progress Reporting format in the Monitoring and Evaluation Guidelines.
However the human resource challenges faced during the planned period cannot grossed
over. Most of the department of the Assembly had not the full complement of staff
especially during the initial implementation stage.
The review revealed that, out of the eighty-nine (97) planned activities in the District
Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP – 2010-2013), 35 were fully implemented, 26
partially implemented and the rest of 28 projects are still on- going at various levels of
completion. The delay was basically due to inadequate funds and other logistics.
The performance of the District under the GSGDA 1 thematic areas are analyzed below as
follows;
38
1.2.1 Accelerated Agricultural Modernization and Sustainable Natural
Resource Management Under the Agricultural Sector there was increase in the yield of some staple crops, namely
Plantain, Maize, Rice, and Cocoyam, yam at a percentage of 10.0mt, 1.20, 1.5, 4.0, and 3.40
respectively for 2011. It also shut up in 2012 with 10.2mt, 1.25, 1.9, 4.2 3.40, 10, 5, 12, 2.5,
2, 0.10mt
Though there was increase it was not significant. This performance was mainly due to
irregular rainy pattern, global economic recession and low coverage of extension services.
Also must of the roads linking the forest zone to the other part of the District has poor
accessibility resulting extension services.
In the area livestock production namely Sheep, Goat, Pig, Poultry, Cattle the records stood
at, 8, 5, 8, 10, 2 for 2011. However all these products increased in 2012 without poultry, and
this was attributed to inadequate inputs supply (vaccines) to farmers.
The 2013 Annual Performance Report revealed that vegetable cultivation in the district was
generally low thus resources should be channeled into the sector for enhancement.
Also, the Fishing Industry which is among the main stays of the coastal communities saw a
drastic decline in stock from 0.14mt to 0.10mt in 2010 and 2011 respectively. This was
mainly attributed to Oil and Gas activities and bad fishing practices like light fishing.
On Sustainable Natural Resources Management, the District made some stride through the
support of development partners. The Amanzule Wetlands Conservation Area Project, Hen
Mpoanu and the CREMA project were project that contributed to sustaining the natural
resources in the District. The Hen Mpoanu Project contributed to the formation of
‘CEMACs’, committees form in coastal communities to protect biodiversity, the physical
environment and the Coast. Also the CREMAs were set up for the protection of nature
reserves in especially the forest zones. However not much has been done towards
evaluations of their operation so as to ascertain their effectiveness or otherwise.
It is however required that financial resource is pushed in the growth of Agric sector in the
area supply of farm inputs and capacity building. Also projects geared towards
environmental and resources sustainability should be regularly monitored and evaluated to
ensure value for money.
39
1.2.2 Oil and Gas Development The discoveries of oil and gas in Ghana open up a collection of opportunities to stimulate
the pace of national development. Nonetheless, the potential for oil and gas to drive the
economy positively will only be realized if this emerging industry is fully integrated into the
local economy with all associated problems tackled.
The District plays a pivotal role in the emerging oil and gas industry, with the presence
Ghana Gas Company Ltd been at the pinnacle of several other facilities currently ongoing in
the District. The Atuabo Gas Project is at its conclusion stage. Other oil and gas companies
currently on board are Lornrho Ghana, Quantum Gas, ENI Foundation and others. Majority
of these companies are close to its completion stage. Economic activities have been on the
increase within the coastal communities. Accommodation rent has shot up due to the
increased population demand.
Though the industry has boosted economic activities in the District to some extent, the
corresponding problem cannot be overemphasized. The misery behind the cause of algae
bloom in the sea at some time in the year is yet to be uncovered; however local fisherfolks
attribute it to Offshore Oil & Gas production.
1.2.3 Enhancing Competitiveness of Ghana’s Private Sector Though Government continued to implement reforms aimed at improving the
Competitiveness of Ghana’s private sector, progress remains slow. It is considered as the
engine of growth for country’s development hence the government promoting Public
Private Partnership.
The Ellembelle District within the last three years has seen a major growth in this sector
notably is the service and industrial sector, with a percentage increase to 35% and 55%
respectively for 2012. The creation of the District after 2008 brought in its wake people
developed interest at the formal sector.
Also the industrial sector rose drastically due to the Oil and Gas find, and the existence
mining companies in the District. Considerable number of people especially the youth
moved to work in the companies during the constructional stage.
40
The number of people into ‘galamsey mining’ increased in 2012, with majority of them
based in Nkroful and Teleku Bokazo. However the presence of these activities boosted
commercial activities in the Communities.
Hotel business has been on the ascendency since 2011, with majority of them been in
Nkroful and Esiama. About six (6) major were built during the plan (2010-2013). However
the general tourism industry still lacks the needed impetus to become a key revenue source
for the District, and there is the need to consider the untapped potential tourism source.
In the area of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME), the Business Advisory Centre
under the Rural Enterprise Project (REP) undertook training in soap making in Kumgbunli (27
females), Community training in bakery and confectionary in Aiyinasi (25 females), cassava
processing (1 male & 18 females), training in batik , tie & dye at Nkroful (29 females)
(2013 District BAC Report)
1.2.4 Infrastructure and Human Settlements Infrastructure provision has become very key in the economic growth and sustainable
poverty reduction in Ghana as it’s seeks to become a middle-income country.
Consequently, the Ellembelle District during the implementation of the GSGDA 1 had
priority attention towards expansion of existing social and economic production
infrastructure to ensure that services provided are reliable, affordable and efficient. The key
areas of policy focus for the medium-term are: transport infrastructure; energy and energy
supply to support industries and households; science, technology and innovation;
information and communication technology development; human settlements
development; water, environmental sanitation and hygiene.
On road infrastructure, with 87km target the district was able to achieve 34 km in 2013.
Road rehabilitation took place in communities like Akropong, Mantukwa, First-Gate and
Aiyinasi Nyamebekyere.
The Rural Electrification Project is currently ongoing with majority of its going into the
Northern part of the District though most of the communities are yet to be covered. In total
about 70% of the entire district is covered.
41
Out of the 19 activities under environmental sanitation and water, 8 were completed, 7
were ongoing and 4 not implemented. Most of the toilet facilities were concentrated in the
coastal zone as a strategy to reduce indiscriminate defecation.
On Education, 12 projects were completed with the additional 5 ongoing (GETfund projects).
Resources are needed to complete all outstanding projects.
1.2.5 Human Development, Productivity and Employment Human Resource Development is a critical aspect of national development which aim at
growth and social equity
Human development indicators in areas such as education and skills acquisition, health,
employment, productivity, social protection, poverty reduction are indicative of major
socio-economic challenges to most developing countries.
To address spatial imbalances, the Ellembelle District has created an access road (partially)
linking the south with the Northern part of the district. However there is the need to
properly construct the road since it will easily link the cocoa producing communities to the
market centres.
On health Sector, out of the 16 activities, 7 were completed and 9 were ongoing. Among the
standout projects undertaking by the District during the plan period was the provision of a
mobile clinic and also the provision of CHPS Compounds in selected communities like
Asanta, Kwesikrom and Nyamebekyere (Aiyinasi)
In the area of social protection, the District benefited from the Bamboo Biomass Project in
Tandan and the Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP) which serves as a source of
income for rural folks especially during farming off seasons.
1.2.6 Transparent and Accountable Governance The main goal of transparent and accountable governance is to strengthen government and
non-governmental bodies to participate in the national development process and
collaborate effectively to achieve national development goals and objectives. The
collaborative process is to ensure that public resources are managed efficiently towards
development.
42
The Ellembelle District during the implementation of the GSGDA I put measures in place to
improve revenue generation. A revenue generation and management action plan was
developed to guide, however the sector saw a fluctuating growth during the period. This
was due to unrealized revenue target.
Series of social accountability fora were conducted during the planned period. Budget was
also set aside for self-help through which cement and roof sheets were supplied to
communities.
The Assembly didn’t do much in the area of sub-structure development. Currently most of
the Unit Committees and Area Councils are not functional, and it is largely due to resource
constraints.
1.3 OTHER INTERVENTIONS
1.3.1 Tandan Bamboo Biomass Project International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (IMBAR)is implementing a project ‘’Bamboo
as Sustainable Biomass Energy: Alternative for firewood and Charcoal Production in
Africa, a pro poor initiative which seeks to utilize the enormous bamboo endowment in the
community to produce charcoal and briquette as means of increasing the use of bamboo as
a source of energy for the poor in Ghana thereby providing a more sustainable,
environmentally friendly and economical option for firewood and wood charcoal.
Currently the project has been completed and handed over to the beneficiary community
but yet to be commissioned. The District Assembly is helping the community to develop a
sustainability plan. Other communities have liaised with IMBAR to ascertain the possibility
of extending the project to their catchment areas.
1.3.2 Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP) Ghana Social Opportunities Project (GSOP) has the overall goal to support Ghana’s Social
Protection Strategy through:
43
Developing a labor intensive public works program as a rural safety net instrument in
target districts across the country to increase cash income for the rural poor during
Agricultural off-season and
Supporting the Government’s Livelihood Empowerment against Poverty (LEAP)
program.
The Project has five components namely: 1) Rationalization of National Social Protection
Strategy
2) Labor Intensive Public Works (LIPW) 3) Support to the Livelihood Empowerment against
Poverty (LEAP) 4) Capacity Building: and Project Management & Coordination.
There are forty (40) districts plus one (1) MMDA benefiting from this intervention, which has
Five (5) years life span, and project cost of US$89.1million.
The Total allocation for the completion of the sub-project within the five years plan period
(October 2011- December 2015) is GHc517, 426.84 for Ellembelle District.
1.3.3 Social Protection & Vulnerability Aspect of GSOP The Government of Ghana has put in place a comprehensive National Social Protection
Strategy which recognizes that affects people in different ways. The NSPS represents the
government’s vision of creating an all-inclusive and Socially-empowered society through the
provision of sustainable mechanisms for the protection of persons living in situations of
extreme poverty and related vulnerability and exclusion. The objective of the Project is to
provide targeted rural poor households with access to employment and income earning
opportunities, in particular during seasonal labour demand shortfall through rehabilitation
and maintenance of public or community infrastructure.
The Ellembelle District been a beneficiary of the project drew a comprehensive program of
Action for the implementation of the project.

1.4 Gaps / Challenges Identified in the Implementation of the
DMTDP 2010-2013 The implementation of the DMTDP 2010 – 2013 was confronted with several challenges.
The major ones included
Inadequate resources particularly funds – local and external resources
affected the implementation of key projects.
Delays in release of funds affected projects completion periods.
Lack of residential accommodation for the core staff including heads of
departments,
Non –availability of some key departments, public sector organizations and
service providers in the district.
High illiteracy rate among the people of the district which affected
dissemination of information, adoption of modern technology, particularly
farmers, etc.
Inadequate capacity of the staff to effectively implement the programmes of
the Assembly and the entire District.
Inadequate logistics and equipment for the staff to support the
implementation of the programmes.
High cost of M&E exercises due to undue delays in project completion
periods.
Inadequate credit facilities for local entrepreneurs.
Poor accessibility to project sites due to bad nature of roads in the district
affected proper M&E exercise.
Low income among the people and the people poor attitude towards
payment of taxes affected revenue generation in the district.
Low participation of sub-structure.
lack of adequate office space for the Central Administration and the
Decentralized Departments,
Implementation of projects outside the Plan
Absence reliable and accurate data
Poor development of Tourism sector
46
Inadequate Knowledge on Oil & Gas Sector
Lessons learnt during implementation of 2010 – 2013 DMTDP Some key lessons/ experiences were learnt during the implementation of the 2010 –
2013 DMTDP. Notably among them include the following:
Internally Generated Revenue is very critical to the over operation of the
District Assembly
Poor / inadequate basic infrastructure facilities e.g. roads, accommodation
telephone, etc badly affected the smooth implementation of the plan.
Involvement or participation of communities, Private Sector, NGOs, Donors,
Decentralized Departments and other stakeholders will enhance the
implementation process
Effective collaboration/ partnership between DA and agencies, Donors,
NGOs, CBOs, and other stakeholders in services provision contributed to
development
Low commitment/apathy among community stakeholders negatively
affected project implementation.
Targets set for certain projects were too high and unattainable during the
plan period.
The multiplier effects of some projects during the plan period were not great.
Regular M&E of projects was crucial in the successful implementation of the
plan.
Execution of project outside the Plan affected the Budget negatively.

1.5 DISTRICT PROFILE /CURRENT SITUATION OF THE DISTRICT
1.5.1 Physical and Natural Environment The physical and natural environments are essential elements of the factors for determining
socio – economic development of the district. This stems from the fact that, apart from
being potential resources, they also serve as ingredients within which all development
activities take place. The factors that need critical analysis and their implication for
development in the district under physical and natural environment include location and
size, climate, vegetation, relief and drainage, soil and geology and minerals.
1.5.2 Location and Size The Ellembelle District being one of the Twenty two (22) Districts in the Western Region of
Ghana is located on the southern part of the region between longitudes 2º05’ W and 2º35’
W and latitude 4º40N and 5º20N.
The District shares boundaries with the Jomoro District to the West, Wassa Amenfi West
District to the North, Nzema East Municipal to the South – East, Tarkwa – Nsuaem Municipal
to the East and a 70 km stretch of sandy beaches to the south. It covers a total area of
about 1,468 Square kilometers, which constitutes about 9.8% Percent of the total land mass
of the Western Region.
The District has one constituency, the Ellembelle Constituency with a total of Seven (7) Area
Councils and 31 Electoral Areas.
1.5.3 Climate The District lies within the wet semi-equatorial climatic zone of the West African Sub-
region. The area experiences an all – year round rainfall with the highest or maximum
monthly mean of rainfall occurring around May and June.
Mean Annual rainfall figures ranges from 26.8mm to 42.6mm. The average temperature
in the District is about 29.40C with variation in mean monthly ranging between 40C to
50C throughout the year as shown in the table for 2008 and 2008 below:
51
The high rainfall pattern and the long periods of the rainfall has resulted in the presence
of many rivers like Ankobra and Mufre in the District which can, using the right
technology, easily be harnessed to provide potable water and water transport the
communities.
They can also be a good source of Inland fishing as well as for irrigation farming in order
to provide employment and improve the nutritional status of the people.
The District records high relative humidity figures ranging from 27.6% to 26.6% between
May and June and 27.3% to 27.9 during the rest of the year.
The climate of the District is suitable for the cultivation of various crops both food and
cash. However the influence of the short dry spell (harmattan) has damaging effects on
the environment and farm outputs. The heavy and prolonged rains associated with this
type of climate adversely affect cocoa harvest especially drying of the beans and
aggravate the black pod diseases that attack cocoa. In addition, all the un-tarred roads
become almost immotorable during the rainy season. The effects of this on the economy
of the district are obvious.
1.5.4 Relief and Drainage The District is endowed with a number of rivers and streams, the most important of
which is the Ankobra River with its major tributaries like the Ahama and Nwini rivers.
Others like the Ankansa and Draw River and its Tributaries drain the Northern side and
act as a boundary between the District and Wassa Amenfi, Amanzule River in the south –
western area, and some numerous minor rivers and streams which do not exceed 150m
above sea level flow throughout the year. The streams and rivers exhibit a dendritic
pattern, which forms the Ankobra basin. The relief and drainage system favour the
development of fish farming and cultivation of valley bottom rice, sugarcane and dry
season vegetables. The presence of larger Rivers like the Ankobra has induced
commercial fish farming in communities along the Ankobra basin. Due to the relatively
low level of drainage in the district, construction such as road is relatively less expensive
and easier.
52
1.5.5 Vegetation The vegetation of the District is made up of the moist semi-deciduous rain forest in the
northern part of the District, but turns into secondary forest as one move southwards
mainly due to human activities like tree felling and farming. There is about 70km
coastline which is mainly of savanna vegetation. The District has several timber species
and other non-timber forest products like rattan, bamboo, among others. It also
abounds in game and wildlife all of which offer opportunities for resources extraction
and entrepreneurial development.
There are also three forest reserves in the District. These are Shelter Forest Reserve,
Draw River Forest Reserve (the largest and located at the Northern half of the District)
and the Ndumfri Forest Reserve located in the North Eastern end of the District.
However the existence of some nature conservation areas and biodiversity restricted
areas like the Ankasa Conservation Area and the Draw River at the Northern part of the
District. The Community Resource Management Area (CREMA) concept, by Wild Life
Division of the Forestry Commission is an initiative which will help curtail the
unsustainable usage of natural resources
The district has a rich diversity of fauna and flora, which has the potential of turning the
district into a major tourist destination in the country in particular and the globe in
general, if the needed tourist infrastructure such as good roads, hotels, restaurants and
communication facilities are made available. There is therefore a great potential to
generate huge revenue from tourism in the district using the forest resources and for
this reason; the District Assembly should be supported and encouraged to develop the
tourism industry into an investment attraction as an appropriate alternative revenue
earner.
1.5.6 Soil Type The soil in the District is mainly of the ferric acrisols and dysric fluvisols type. The
ferric acrisols type of soil constitute about 98% of the entire land of the district, as
such supports the cultivation of a wide range or variety of crops including cocoa,
coffee, coconuts, oil palm, plantain and cassava. Due to this characteristic, the
53
district has a comparative advantage in agriculture especially in the area of agro –
processing and plantations.
1.5.7 Tourism The District is endowed with a huge potential for Tourism development. There are
numerous tourist attractions that, if properly developed and packaged, could attract
a lot of tourists to the District. These include Historical sites like, the first President’s
(Dr. Kwame Nkrumah) birth place and original burial tomb at Nkroful, 70kms of
sandy Beaches that boarder the south of the District, the navigable Ankobra River
that links the northern and southern parts of the District through river transport, the
Wetlands and the famous Kundum Festival celebrated by all the Chiefs and people of
the District. The presence of developed beaches like Ankobra Beach Resort serves as
tourist destination which helps boost economic activities.
The Assembly must be supported to identify and facilitate the development of these
potentials through Public Private Partnerships (PPP). This would create employment
and enhance revenue generation in the District. It will also open up the district to
investment in the hospitality industry leading to the creation of various employment
opportunities. The recent emergence of the Oil and Gas in the Western coast of
Ghana and the Operation of mining companies such as the Adamus Resource Limited
has great potentials for the development of hospitality facilities (hotels) and beach
resorts in the coastal belt communities especially in Esiama, Asanda and Bobrama.
This will greatly give a boost to economic activities. The strengthening of security is
also fundamental since the development of the hospitality industry will come with its
ramifications such as crimes in the form of theft and arm robbery.
1.5.6 Condition of the Natural Environment The natural environment in the district is confronted with various challenges some of
which are very devastating as their impact on the natural environment also causes
food insecurity and exacerbating poverty in the district. The major factors that
54
negatively impact on the natural environmental condition include Deforestation,
Mining and Quarrying, Bushfires, Soil Erosion and Natural Disasters.
1.5.7 Deforestation The Ellembelle District is endowed with large tracts of forest and economic trees.
However, the District is suffering from high incidence of deforestation due to the
high exploitation of the timber for logs and lumber by registered companies and
illegal chainsaw operators. Their activities contribute significantly to the extent of
deforestation in the district. Unchecked farming practices including cocoa farming
slash and burns among others have also compounded the situation through
encroachment on the virgin forest and forest reserves.
1.5.8 Mining and Quarrying Due to the high mineral deposit in the district, a lot of mining companies are coming
into the district to mine. Galamsey activities are also dominant in the District which
is conducted in a haphazard or uncoordinated manner. The activities of these mining
companies and the galamsey operators are causing serious destruction to the
environment and the vegetative cover. This therefore poses threat to animal, plant
and human life in the District. With the help of the central government the galamsey
menace has been put under control. So far with the collaboration and assistance of
the district assembly, a small scale mining company has been licensed to operate
within the district. This development will create employment for the youth hence
reducing unemployment in the district whiles increasing the revenue of the district.
1.5.9 Bushfires and Soil Erosion The traditional method of farming, which involves the slash and burn, coupled with
indiscriminate burning of bush by unscrupulous people during the short dry season
(harmattan) exist in the district. The resultant effects of these activities are depletion
of soil nutrients and low agricultural production among farmers in the district.
55
1.5.10 CULTURE
1.5.10.1 Religion and Ethnicity In terms of Religion, Christians constitute about 79 % of the population with Moslems
having 8%, Traditionalists3.0 % and others 10%. The predominant Ethnic grouping is Akan
89%, Ga Adangbe 3%, Ewe 4% and Mole-Dagbani 4%. The District is dominated by two main
local groups within the following corresponding dominant Areas.
Table 4
1.1 Traditional Set-up
ETHNIC GROUP DOMINANT AREA

Nzema Atuabo
The District has one Paramountcy, The Eastern Nzema Traditional Council, situated at
Atuabo
All the Traditional Councils, in the three (3) Districts of Nzema East, Ellembelle, Jomoro,
constitute the Nzema Manle Council (District House of Chiefs).
1.5.11 Culture and Festivals One significant feature in the District is the traditional festival of Kundum which is
celebrated in all the communities of the District between August and October each year. It
is important to note that during the celebration of the festival, a large number of people
from far and near troop into town. During the season, general economic activities
(especially buying and selling) are boosted. However, the economic boom comes with its
own social and environmental impacts on the district.
The major language spoken all over the District is Nzema with other dialects like Evalue and
Gwira, Fanti and Twi also widely spoke
56
1.5.12 SPATIAL ANALYSIS / SETTLEMENT.
Various settlements have spread through the entire district. Larger portion of the
population is concentrated in the forest zone of the District. Considerable part of the District
which is mostly occupied by cocoa farmers (Northern Aiyinasi) is not accessible. These
developments normally compel farmers to sell their produce to other neighboring districts
to the detriment of the District’s Internally Generated Fund (IGF). The District is sparsely
populated. However, the population is not evenly distributed; only a few settlements such
as Aiyinasi, Esiama, Asasetre, Asanta etc. have the bulk of the population. Teleku-Bokazo
and Nkroful are gradually becoming overpopulated due to the emergence of mining
activities. This is as a result of concentration of certain amenities like electricity
In Ellembelle District, there are specific settlements of which are classified as Urban namely
Aiyinasi, Asasetre and Esiama. This is based on settlement with the population of 5,000
people as minimum. Esiama and Aiyinasi especially have the potential to grow into bigger
towns due the emergence of new economic and commercial activities. The location of these
communities along the Takoradi-Cote D’Ivoire makes them good prospects for increased
economic activities.

1.5.13 Agriculture It is estimated that over 65% of the economically active population are engaged in
agriculture (including fishing) and agro-processing.
1.5.13.1 Land Most parts of the land in the district are undulating, therefore very unsuitable for
mechanized farming (use of tractors for land preparation). Share – cropping (Abusa) is the
common land tenure system.
1.5.13.2 Soils These are acidic and low in nutrient due to high leaching. Leaching is the result of the high
rainfall in the District. This makes it very difficult to cultivate some staple crops and
vegetables.
1.5.13.3 Cropping The average farm size is estimated at 4 hectares. Slash and burn is the common practice of
land preparation in the district. The major tree crops grown are coconut oil palm, rubber
and cocoa with cassava and plantain being the major food crops. Vegetables such as garden
eggs, pepper and tomatoes are also cultivated among other crops. Rice cultivation is
currently very low and is grown in some low-lying areas like Asanta, Kikam, and Kamgbunli.
Food crops such as cassava, maize, rice, cocoyam and plantain are grown extensively both
for subsistence and for cash. However, due to the absence of any efficient processing and
storage facilities, post-harvest losses are high and farmers income very low.
1.5.13.4 Coconut Sector Coconut is grown extensively in the district especially in the southern part. It is processed
into coconut oil and exported mainly to Accra, Kumasi, Tarkwa and Obuasi, and also farmers
export some of the produce called ‘Copra’ to nearby countries like Nigeria. In recent years,
the lethal yellowing disease of coconut locally called Cape St. Paul’s Wilt Disease (CSPWD)
has devastated about half of the coconut plantations along the southeastern coast of the
district. This has seriously affected the economic livelihood of the people in these areas,
59
leading to low incomes and increased unemployment. The dwindling production base of
the local coconut industry has also adversely affected the internal revenue base of the
Assembly.
Replanting of hybrid coconut seedlings for farmers in the district started in the year 2000.
So far estimated acres of farms have been replanted. However the report from farmers
suggest that its resistance it not strong to withstand the spread of the disease.
1.5.13.5 Rubber Rubber plantation is the new farming sector which is most people is resulting into. Due to
the presence of Ghana Rubber Estate Limited most farmers are able to learn technologies
which improve their outputs through the Out-grower Project. This development has given
some hope to farmers whose coconuts have been perished by the dreaded Cape & Paul
Disease.
1.5.13.6 Cocoa Cocoa is grown mostly in the northern part of the district, which is a forest area. This has
over the past years attracted in influx of cocoa farmers into these parts of the district. Crop
yield per acre for cocoa in these areas are comparatively lower. It is estimated that there
are over 70,000 acres of land under cocoa plantation in the district.
Capside infestation and the Black Pod disease are major problems of this crop. Productivity
has also been affected by lack of information on soil suitability. Efforts and new measures
have been put in place, especially the spraying of the farms, help improve the yield and
price of cocoa.
1.5.13.7 Poultry and Livestock Production Local poultry, especially chicken is reared throughout the district in almost every home.
However the local chicken population remains low because of annual outbreaks of
Newcastle Disease that results in high mortality among these birds. Commercial poultry
keeping is only undertaken by a handful of entrepreneurs whose major problem is marking
of their produce.
60
Pig production is the most popular livestock activity in the district, apart from sheep and
goat, especially among the youth and women. The availability of by-product from coconut
oil processing as a major cheap source of feed for pigs is the reason for their high population
in the district. In spite of the immense potential on piggery, farmers still use traditional
methods of husbandry and therefore cannot improve production to earn more income.
Intermittently the deadly swine-flu disease hit considerable number of flock and causes a
great loss to farmers. Pig production would be vigorously promoted to create alternative
employment opportunities through introduction of improved husbandry, processing and
marketing to improve farmers’ earnings.
1.5.13.8 Fishing and Fish Farming The District ranks among the major contributors in the area of marine fishing in the country.
Fishermen are located in communities like Ankobra, Asanta, Esiama and the whole of the
Atuabo Area Council. Though this venture is major source of income in the district, it is still
bedeviled by crude and outmoded method of operations like ‘Light fishing’ and the use of
harmful chemical have hindered the growth of the industry. In recent times the fishermen
has complained about dwindling level of fish-catch and attributed to Oil and Gas activities.
There is the need for revive this industry strongly through laid down measure to which will
ensure sustainable marine fishing, and also fisherfolks should embark on aqua-culture to
supplement the marine stock hence improve their income.
1.5.13.8 Manufacturing Industry The District though has experience some upward change in the area of industrialization,
same cannot be said in the aspect of manufacturing. The few manufacturing is still executed
through crude method and on a very small scale. Coconut Oil and Cassava dough
productions exist in communities like Asasetre, Tandan and Adubrim which helps to boost
the revenue generation base of these communities. However the industry is challenged
both logistically and financially and there is the urgent need of injecting the requisite
support into the industry to enhance local economic growth.
1.5.13.8 Energy The main sources of energy for domestic, commercial and industrial needs are electricity,
fuel-wood, charcoal (including bamboo, kerosene, and LPG). About 70% of the entire district
61
is connected to the national grid, with Majority of the Communities in the Northern part of
the district are yet to be connected. This situation has affected operation of basic services
like health care with facilities resulting to solar panels as an alternative.
1.5.13.9 Tourism Like most of the Coastal District in the western Region, tourism is a key source of revenue
generation. The Kundum festival is celebrated among all the Nzema’s to remember their
heritage. Traditional dance and other activities are performed during the celebration.
62
Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum represents the original birth place and other historical
monuments of the First President of Ghana. Also the Bakanta Estuary has a nice scenery
which is been developed boat riding navigation. It forms part of the Greater Amanzure of
which series biodiversity studies has been conducted. Apart from fishing transportation the
Ankobra River has not been fully tapped.
Also the Gas Processing Plant at Atuabo is the first of its kind in the Country hence could be
a destination for educational tours and excursion.
63
1.5.14 Transport Infrastructure Majority of the road network that links the subdistricts to the District capital are tarred.
While the road network in the northern part of the district, that is, the New Aiyinase
Subdistrict is bad and unmotorable throughout the year and becoming more deplorable
especially during the rainy season. The roads that link the communities to the subdistricts
are also mostly untarred with some of them being bad and hard to reach hence creating
transportation problems for farmers.
The main means of transportation is by road and few communities along the Ankobra River
are accessed by boat. In total, the District has 233km of trunk road of which 66.1km are
tarred representing 28%, whilst 167.6 km is graveled or feeder road representing 72%. This
is hugely inadequate and affects development negatively.
The Assembly however has created an access road to link the North and Southern part of
the district but require the Feeder Roads Department to complete it. The absence of bridges
and culverts along some feeder roads also render some of the major food producing areas
inaccessible. There is therefore the urgent need to link up these areas to the marketing
centres through the provision of bridges and culverts.

1.5.15 Major Town and Facilities/Activities The District comprise of eighty- seven (85) communities. Few of these communities has
majority of the population and key infrastructural facilities.
Table 5: Major town and Facilities
Major Towns Main Facilities/Activities
Aiyinasi Market, Banks, Sachet water producers, Marine Police,
Esiama Banks, Market, Gas Transmission Terminal, Schools, Fishing, Hotels
Nkroful District Capital, Mining, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s birth place,
Kikam Fishing, Trading, Recreational centres
Atuabo Fishing, Gas Processing Plant
Teleku-Bokazo Mining, Trading, Market
65
The existence of these facilities enhances the general growth and development of the entire
district.
1.6 Food Security About 65% of the populations in the District are farmers (fish and crop farmers). In previous
years prices for food staff and other commodities were cheaper as compared to many
towns and cities. In recent times the mining activities and the oil and gas explorations have
changed situations over the past years. The above activities have affected farm lands
coupled with high influx of immigrants into the district; demand tends to outweigh supply
hence price hike in food especially fish and general consumables. Crop farming is done
throughout the year in places like Adubrim, Asomase and Akropong. The Assembly generate
considerable amount of revenue from market tolls from places like Aiyinasi and Asasetre.
1.7 Governance Administrative and Institutional Arrangements for Local Governance and
Management of Resources
The Structure of the District Assembly
The various legal frameworks for Local development in Ghana include, the Civil Service Law,
1993 (PNDC Law 327), the National Development Planning (System) Law, 1994 (Acts 480),
the Local Government Law, 1993 (Act 462) and the Local Government Service Act 656. All of
these legal enactments place the District Assembly in the center to reinforce the
government’s decentralization process and participatory development.
Thus the Assembly, by law is the highest administrative and political body in the District. It
is composed of 45 members of which two-thirds are elected while the remaining is
appointed. The one Member of Parliament is ex-officio member.
The Ellembelle District has an executive committee made up of chairmen and secretaries of
all sub committees and key heads of departments. They formulate and execute policies of
the Assembly. The District Chief Executive represents the Central Government and chairs
the committee. It operates through the following sub-committees of the Assembly
1) Finance and Administration Sub-Committee
2) Social Service Sub-Committee
66
3) Development Planning Sub-Committee
4) Works Sub-Committee
5) Justice and Security Sub-Committee
6) Health and Sanitation Sub-Committee
The sub-committees principally deliberate on specific issues and make commendations to
the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee in turn presents them to the Assembly
for ratification and adoption.
The Executive Committee co-ordinate plans and programmes of sub-committees and
oversees the smooth operation of the administration. It also has the power to recommend
the appointment or replacement of officials in the District. The District Assembly as
authority is responsible for the overall development of the District. There is a District
Planning Coordinating Unit, which provides Advisory services to the Executive Committee in
its planning functions.
Area Councils and Unit Committees are pivotal in local level development as they ferry the
Assembly and local community and act as the supreme points of development at the local
levels. There are seven (7) area councilsl.
The District Chief Executive heads the office of the District Assembly. There are 11
Decentralized Departments under the Office of the Assembly. The activities of these
Departments are coordinated by the District Co-ordinating Director.

1.9 Composition of the District Assembly The Ellembelle District Assembly in consonance with the Local Government Act 1993 (Act
462) is composed of the District Chief Executive who is appointed by Government and
approved by 2/3 majority of the members of the Assembly, the one member of Parliament
from the one constituency of the District Assembly members. 54 Members both elected
and appointees form the General Assembly, of which 12 are appointed by government in
consultation with the Traditional Authority and other interest groups. The Presiding
Member is elected by 2/3 majority of all the members of the Assembly. There are 7 Area
Councils in all.
The adequacy of skilled Personnel and Logistics for the Decentralized Departments will have
serious repercussion on the Assembly’s capacity to implement, monitor and evaluate the
MTDP and undertake further participatory development planning. With the recent
increased in personnel for the DPCU, its work has seen some effectiveness, however,
logistics and resources must be provided for efficient operation.
1.11 District Sub – Structure There are seven (7) Area Councils under the Assembly, which are functioning effectively.
Out of all the Unit committees, less than a quarter are operational. Although, the Assembly
recruited and staffed all the Area Councils, its inability to pay their remuneration had
resulted in vacation of post and low morale among staff of the Area Councils. The lack of
Logistics and suitable offices has also resulted in low performance of the councils. Lack of
motivation on the part of Unit Committee members had led to loss of interest in the work of
the committees. Both Assembly members and the sub-structures play very crucial roles at
all levels of legislation and planning. As prescribed under Act 462 and L.I. 1589, the
functions of the Assembly through the Area Councils and Unit Committees make these sub-
structures pivotal links between the Assembly and the grassroots. However, the seeming
apathy at the sub-structure level has broken the chain of plan implementation making it
difficult to mobilize local persons for development. Capacity of the substructure is also not
up to task.
69
The Assembly should build their capacities to enable them collect and collate the views and
aspirations of the people they represent from interventions. This would ensure community
participation as an integral part of the planning process.
1.12 Traditional Authority The Ellembelle District has one paramountcy under the Nzema Manle Traditional Council
with its headquarters at Esiama. Under this paramountcy are Divisional Chiefs and below
them are Odikros. These Traditional Authorities command the respect of large numbers of
their people and communities particularly in the rural areas. They are dedicated to the
development of their traditional areas and the education and enlightenment of their
people. They have a part to play in facilitating government policies and mobilizing their
70
people for development, of particular importance is the role of the traditional authorities in
support of the vulnerable and excluded. This offers positive contribution to economic and
social transformation.
Traditional Authority can therefore be regarded as part of the decentralization process. The
District Assembly would therefore strengthen its partnership with Traditional Authority to
provide a mechanism for consultation and co-operation.
Although Traditional Authority plays a very important role in the development of the
District, the existence of one paramountcy within the Ellembelle District alone poses a big
challenge for consensus building. The presence of numerous chieftaincy disputes and land
litigations have adversely affected the pace of the District’s development. Efforts would be
made to minimize these disputes and promote consensus building.
1.13 Administration of Justice The District has a magistrate court with a magistrate in attendance. There are three (3)
Police Stations with the headquarters at Esiama. The Commission for Human Rights and
Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) adjudicates on human rights infringements whereas the
Public Relations and Complaints Units under the Chairmanship of the Presiding Member of
the District Assembly hears complaints against Assembly members and Public Officers in the
performance of their duties. The magistrate court currently has no permanent
accommodation which affects it duties. The assembly has initiated the process to construct
a court complex to foster administration of justice.
The institutions especially CHRAJ need to be strengthened and resourced to protect the
rights of the people and ensure justice and accountability. The District needs a permanent
structure well-resourced to accommodate the magistrate court. This will go a long way to
facilitate justice.
1.14 NGO/Civil Society Civil Society plays a very important role in the development of Ellembelle District.
Participation by other stakeholders is manifested at the levels of information sharing,
consultation, collaboration and empowerment. To ensure public ownership of the
Assembly’s development agenda, it is necessary that avenues be created for stakeholders
71
and other parties with contributions to get involved in the whole process. This is the
effective way to generate true sustainability and public support for the development
process.
The District Assembly has instituted channels for consultations with stakeholders at the
District, Area Council and Community levels. These include Public fora and information
dissemination and Public education by I.S.D and NCCE. A number of initiatives have been
undertaken to promote participation of other stakeholders especially NGO’s, CBO’s, and the
Private Sector in the development process of the district.
1.15 7PRIVATE SECTOR The Private Sector is not well developed in the district. It is predominantly micro and small-
scale Processors, Artisans and Service Providers. Although the District has enormous
potential for tourism and agro-industry, the lack of Infrastructure and basic utilities
increases cost of doing business. There is no platform for public-private interface
Public-Private Partnership needs to be promoted. The Assembly would create the necessary
enabling environment for the growth of the private sector. Inadequate logistics and poor
accessibility have cut off a significant number of people in the district from active
participation in governance and access to information.
There is therefore an urgent need for a mass communication network e.g. F.M. with wide
coverage to facilitate information dissemination and public education in the district in order
to reach a wider section of the people especially the unreached deprived communities. The
Assembly’s has made useful strides to make the planning process participatory to promote
transparency in the Assembly decisions and ensure accountability from both public and
private sectors. More collaboration, consultation and information sharing would be
promoted with Traditional Authority, Civil Society of Ellembelle District as well as the
Western Regional Network of NGO’s (WERENGO) and other relevant private sector
organizations

Internal revenues are those collected by the Assembly using its own Revenue Collectors and
existing collection machinery. External sources on the other hand are mostly grants from
Central Governments, Royalties, and other External Agencies like NGO’s and Donor Agencies
like the World Bank, IDA, JICA, EU, DFID etc. The trend, typical of most Assemblies in the
country, depicts the over reliance of the Ellembelle District on the DACF as the main source
of revenue and funding of development projects and other programmes.
Problems of Revenue Collection The major problems confronting revenue collections in the district include:
Inadequate skilled personnel
Lack of logistics especially transportation to revenue collection centers
Poor supervision and monitoring of revenue collectors
Inefficient revenue collection systems
Inadequate motivation for revenue staff.
Expenditure Pattern The Expenditure of the district budget has been divided into recurrent and capital
Expenditure to conform to the conventional budget structure of the local government of
Ghana. The recurrent expenditure consists of personal emoluments, Travel and Transport
Expenditures, General expenditure, maintenance, repairs and renewals as well as
73
miscellaneous. The capital expenditure consists of all expenditures made on Development
Projects and Programmes.
Challenges
A whole lot of deductions are made of funds sent thus making disbursement very
difficult as funds become inadequate to disburse according to the prepared.
Lack of flexibility in the usage of DACF affects disbursement
NOTE: A table depicting a summary of expenditure within the plan period has been
captured at performance review stage.
1.16 Local Economic Development The District in terms of Local Economic Development performed fairly during the
implementation of the GSGDA I. The Assembly in its efforts of encourage local initiative
through the transfer of skills has trained some community members in Kumgbunli, Eikwe
and Nkroful in batik making, beads making and soap making.
Also IMBAR has undertaken a bamboo development project ‘Bamboo as biomass for
charcoal production, for Tandan Community. This initiative in the long would improve the
living standard of the beneficiary community and its adjourning communities.
However, some development potentials likes presence of Wetland, Forest Reserves, Rivers,
vast bamboo resource and cultural practices like Kundum festival can be developed as
tourist destination which would generate income for the local economy.
Also coconut producers should be trained on the various uses of Coconut husk, doormat,
interior designs etc. through the Business Advisory Center (BAC). These initiatives would
help generate employment.

situation has contributed to the low human resource base of the District, therefore the need
for conscious effort to increase facilities at the higher levels especially at SHS.

It is worthy of note that majority of Teachers in the District are untrained. Of the total
number of 1402 teachers teaching at all levels in the District, only 44.44% (623) are trained.
56.56% (779) are untrained. Those trained and untrained for primary are 349 and 405.
Junior High School, 225 and 177 for trained and untrained respectively.
This situation does not auger well for the development of education in the District and
conscious efforts must be made to address underlying cause of the problem in order to
attract qualified teachers to the district.
76
1.17 Youth and Sports With a dynamic youthful population of about 62%, there is the urgent need for the District
to create a conducive and enabling environment for the youth to channel their energies and
not dissipate it in wasteful ventures.
Sports development has been identified as a major tool for recreation and well-being as well
as economic development. The District has a number of Football and Volley ball teams but
woefully lacks basic sports infrastructure. There is virtually no standard football field as well
as facilities for other sports like basketball, volley ball, badminton, table tennis among
others. These need to be addressed in collaboration with the private sector to promote
sports. The District Assembly would have to facilitate development of sports to promote
employment and tourism and enhance health and also as a tool for and JSS in particular
might portray the picture that teachers are underutilized in the District. It again goes to
buttress the earlier fact that school participation rate is low in the District,

1.18.2 MAIN PROBLEMS OF THE HEALTH SECTOR IN THE
DISTRICT
The key problems of the health sector in the district include the following
1. Poor access to communities in the northern part of the district as a result of
inaccessible road network making some communities hard to reach.
2. Aged vehicle which needs major repairs.
3. Inadequate residential accommodation for DHA staff.
4. No permanent administrative block for the directorate.
5. Inadequacy of basic equipment in some facilities.
1.18.3 KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
The activities undertaken contributed significantly in achieving the following:
• The district managed to train 10 Maternal Health Volunteers in Esiama Sub district
and they are providing FP services in Cycle beads.
• The district also recorded a Significant increase in ANC 4th visits and average visit in
the year as against that of the previous years
• Implementation of IRS for malaria control with the support of AGA mal in progress
• There has also been relative improvement in NHIS coverage among patients in the
district during the period.
• Opening of three new CHPS compound during the period.
• A strong collaboration with the District Assembly resulted in a new DHMT block
provided by the Assembly, though very congested with associate problem of flooding
during heavy rains.
• Two motorbikes have been procured for New Aiyinase sub district.
• The frequently broken down refrigerator at Esiama have also been repaired during
the year.
• Construction of OPD block at Nkroful Health Centre by the Chief and the people of
Nkroful.
81
1.18.4 OPD CASES.
Malaria continues to remain the number one cause of outpatient morbidity. It accounted
for 37% out of the total new cases 360721 recorded by all the facilities in the district in the
year 2013.
It is always the number one cause of OPD attendance in all the health facilities and among
all age groups due to poor sanitation and frequent rainfall. It also accounts for most of the
admissions and deaths especially among children at the only hospital in the district, St
Martin de Pores at Eikwe.

1.18.5 Health Financing With the introduction of the Mutual Health Insurance Scheme in all Districts throughout the
Country, Medical Services are affordable to the majority of the people in the District. This is
reflected in the attendance rate at most Medical Facilities in the District which has improved
tremendously. For example Eikwe Hospital recorded Average daily OPD Attendance 320
patients in 2013 which shows an improvement over the 2012 figure of 258. Still a greater
number of people, especially those in the Rural Areas, continue to rely on alternative Health
Care Systems or delayed till the situation gets complicated. This is evidenced by the trend
of Malaria, a preventable and curable disease always topping not only the cause of
morbidity and admissions but also deaths.
Graph depicting NHIS coverage among OPD attendance (2011-2013
The poor drainage coupled with excessive rainfall and other human practices have resulted
in extensive erosion and flooding within the built environment. Communities would be
encouraged to undertake erosion prevention activities like tree planting, landscaping and
the de-silting of drains. The Assembly would also explore innovative low cost appropriate
technologies for housing delivery and pilot these through a Rural Housing Scheme.

1.19.1 Water Facilities The water situation in the District has seen some improvement over the years with an
increase in the number of facilities and coverage.
At the end of the plan period the District aim at providing Small Town Water systems for
communities like Asanda and Ankobra and borehole facilities for all communities at the
Aiyinasi North (2014 - 2017).The current water overage is……. With these facilities made up
of 22 pipe systems, 134 boreholes, and 8 hand-dug wells, and 79 kvip, 1,040 vips and 369
84
WCs. The details of these facilities are depicted in the matrix in the tables below. This gives

1.20 VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS Vulnerability Analysis is the process of assessing the ability of an individual or group to
withstand shocks or manage risks, the probability of becoming poor or poorer. This could
come as a result of the following factors- political, social, environment, economic, or
physical.
The continuous migration of the economic class to Takoradi, Tarkwa and Cote D’voire is a
trend which should be curtailed. Also due to the seasonal nature of fishing activities at the
coast compel people to travel to cocoa producing area to engage in economic activities.
The fast growing of the social class system also contribute to the fast migration trend in the
District. Social problems such as child labour, child trafficking, Streetism and disability occur
86
as a result of the abuse. Child poverty is also rife in the district. Child neglect due to single
parenting, divorce or both is also common. Most often than not resulting in social vices
such as theft, drug abuses, teenage pregnancy among several others are on the rise. This
has serious implications for the district development, since its future productive capacity is
at risk. The district will forge cutting edge social interventions to address the menace. In
recent times the economy of the district is threaten by increased cost of living due to influx
of foreigners and national alike in to the district resulting from the gold mining as well as the
oil and gas exploration.
1.21 HIV/AIDS The table below illustrates the current trend of HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed at the St Martin
de Porres Hospital at Eikwe 2012 to 2013 and confirmed at the Regional Public Health
Reference Laboratory. H
HIV/AIDS CASES recorded at Jan-Dec. 2013
Category No. Tested No. Positive Percentage Positive
PATIENTS 1965 472 24
Blood Donors 2043 123 6
VCT 12 0 0
PMTCT 2071 63 3
Total 6091 658 10.8
The HIV/AIDS Prevalence rate of 10.8% among hospital attendants and 0.76% for the entire
district shows an improvement over the previous years. It is however worth noting that
these are only the reported cases at the Hospitals. With the limited access to medical
facilities coupled with the high illiteracy rate and the fear of stigmatization, the real
magnitude of the problem may be under estimated.
87
The plight of the District is worsened by its close proximity to La Cote D’ Ivoire, a high
prevalence area, and the regular interactions between their peoples. The seasonal influx of
migrant fishermen and farm Labourers into the District further compounds issues.
Efforts at addressing the problem have so far been limited to publicity campaigns, fora,
seminars to sensitize various target groups on responsible behavior and safe sex. The
District has a District Population Advocacy Team which undertakes advocacy on Population
and Development issues including HIV/AIDS. There is also a District Aids Committee under
the District Response Initiative which co-ordinates HIV/AIDS Programmes and activities in
the District. The activities of NGOs like Ransom Foundation and End-Time Restoration
Ministry, Life Relief Foundation have improved HIV/AIDS awareness through Voluntary and
Counseling Test. (VCT)
Lack of funding for HIV/AIDS Programmes in the District has constrained efforts at
addressing the challenge. Nonetheless, as the problem has now assumed the dimension of
a development issue, the District would solicit for assistance from its Development Partners
and other Agencies in confronting the issue. Advantage would also be taken of the
establishment of the GARFUND to provide additional funding to combat the HIV/AIDS
menace in the District.
1.22 GENDER The District has its most economically active population been the youth, both male and
female who are not discriminated upon in terms of various roles and responsibilities.
Both women and men have equal opportunities in relation to working at within the formal
sector. However people acquire employment opportunities based on their expertise.
Holistic approaches of community participation (old, young, male & female) are deployed as
part of development processes.
Few numbers of women (both old and young) earn their living through petty trader at
‘galamsey sites’. Traditionally women plays significant role in governance system with some
communities having Queen mothers as part of their governance system. It is also important
to acknowledge the fact that there no enough women representation in the General
Assembly of the district assembly.
88
1.23 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) ICT until recent times were is in a very poor state. The recent inclusion of ICT in schools that
is Junior High School and Senior High School has improved. The sprung up of internet cafes
and computer schools has boosted peoples interest in information technology.
Esiama and Aiyinasi are two larger communities who are benefiting from government
commercial ICT Centre. The Aiyinasi Community Information Centre (CIC) is a UNDP Funded
facility which students in the District benefits from. Nkroful has also benefited from an ICT
project. Eikwe and Ngalekyi have not also be left out.
With the emergence ‘white-color’ jobs like mining and recently Oil companies’ activities is,
most people are ready to upgrade their knowledge in Information Technology.
However about 70% of the total population does not have access to Computer, with
majority of these people living in the forest areas.
The extension of electricity to the most of communities would propel people to invest in
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) thus improving IT knowledge in the long-
run
1.24 SECURITY Until 2014, the Ellembelle district was under Nzema East district when it comes to security
(Police). It is obvious that with the emergence of oil and gas activities and gold mining in the
district, the tendency for increased criminal activities cannot be overemphasized. Social
vices such as theft, teenage pregnancy, drug trade among several others are on the rise. It
is against this backdrop that the district fought for its own police command. The District
currently has a police command, headquartered at Esiama. This development has helped
curtail or reduced crime and criminal activities which hither to was on the ascendency.
Conducive environment has been created for investment as well as protection of lives and
property. The assembly is has also initiated a move to get a fire station, immigration and
other security agencies into the district.
1.25 DISASTER The assembly is located in a forest area hence it records almost all year round rainfall. This
situation causes occasional flooding especially at the peak of the raining season between

April and July. During this season there are economic downturns since farmers especially are
unable to access their farms and fishing activities also slow down. It is important to mention
that the district has NADMO officials who are the point of call in disaster situations.
1.26 WATER SECURITY Access to potable water has improved drastically over the years. Most people in the
southern part of the district have unfettered access to water. There are a lot of small town
water systems in the district as well as boreholes. With the exception of the Nkroful water
which is of poor quality due to high iron content, almost all other water sources are
acceptable and of high quality. Notwithstanding this, the northern part of the district faces
serious challenges when it comes to potable due to inaccessible roads, which hinder drilling
vehicles to reach that part of the district. This development affects the health of the
residents of the northern part of the district with occasional OPD cases of water borne
disease. Generally speaking the district is about 90% covered in terms of potable water
access. This situation has help eradicate all curtail water borne disease in the district and
has improved the economic and social lives of the people.
1.27 MIGRATION (IMMIGRATION & EMIGRATION) The district in recent times has seen an increase in population due to influx of large number
of people. The strategic location of the district coupled with its richness in mineral deposits
has seen large number of foreigners and nationals move in to settle. At the peak of this
population increase was the era of the ‘Galamsey’ (illegal mining) activities which also saw
the population of the district doubled. There are also large portions of the people who are
settled in the neighboring Cote D’Ivoire who come home occasionally, especially during
festive occasions.

2.2 POCC ANALYSIS
2.2.1 ENHANCING COMPETIVENESS IN GHANA’s PRIVATE SECTOR
PIRORITIZED
DEVELOPMENT
ISSUE
POTENTIALS OPPORTUNITIES CONSTRAINTS CHALLENGES
Underdeveloped
tourism
potentials
Presence of
hotels and
resorts in the
District Eg. Kikam
Beach Beach
Resort.
Influx of private
developers into the
District.
Support from
Ghana Tourist
Board.
Hotels in
neighboring
Districts
Existence of a
tourism
development
Inadequate funds
and logistics (DA)
Inadequate
infrastructure. Eg
Roads, electricity.
Un updated tourism
development plan.
Tourism potentials
Low private
sector interest to
invest.
Inadequate funds
from central
government to
support tourism
development.
105
plan eg. SNV. not well marketed.
Conclusion: Underdeveloped tourism potentials can be solved. Existing tourism development plan should be updated and marketed well
and, presence of hotels would help improve the situation, while low private sector interest to invest in tourism and inadequate
infrastructure could be tackled through support of Ghana Tourism Board and private developers respectively.
Low Production
Level
Presence of
increasing
economic
activities in the
communities e.g.
Esiama and
Aiyinasi due to
Mining activities
Increasing
number of
interventions
due Oil and Gas
eg.ICFG &
Amanzule
Project will help
boost fishing
Absence of
Comprehensive
Local Economic (LED)
Development Plan.
Inadequate
commitment
from central
government
toward LED.
106
stock
Conclusion: Low Production Level can be solved. Inadequate commitment from central government towards LED would be tackled by
interventions due to Oil and Gas, while absence LED Development Plan can be solved by increasing economic activities in communities.
Poor Internal Revenue
Generation
Increasing
number of
economic
activities in
larger
communities
Availability of
ratable
properties and
services
Existence of
Intervention to
improve revenue
generation e.g.
LOGODEP
Existence of DDF
as a source of
supplementary
Fund.
Inadequate number and
Capacity of Revenue
Collectors
Apathy and unwillingness of
communities members to
pay rates
Declining coconut industry
High
unemployment
rate
107
Conclusion: Poor Internal Revenue Generation can be solved. High unemployment rate would be curtailed by increasing economic
activities in larger communities, and inadequate number and capacity of revenue collectors would be solved by the existence of
intervention to improve revenue generation.

The objective of the Project is to provide targeted rural poor households with access to employment
and income earning opportunities, in particular during seasonal labour demand shortfall through
rehabilitation and maintenance of public or community infrastructure.
The Ellembelle District has executed the Construction of 3-Unit Teachers at Akropong and
Rehabilitated 5.8 km road from First Gate Junct. – First Gate, whilst the Establishment of 30 hectares
rubber plantation (Climate Change) is ongoing.
Currently the District has selected two (2) sub projects that are ‘Rehabilitation of degraded land and
Rehabilitation of 3.4 km road’.
3.11 ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE
3.11.1 Ghana Wildlife Society
Environment and biodiversity issues are increasingly becoming key as far as Climate Change is concern.
The impact of climate change affects ecosystems in a variety of ways. It does not only affects
ecosystems and species directly; it also interacts with other human stressors such as development and
industrial footprints. At the global level, human activities have caused and will continue to cause loss
of biodiversity through land-use and land-cover change; soil, air and water pollution and forest
degradation.
The Ellembelle District is endowed with significant and unique environmental features which include
high forests such as Shelter forest reserve, Draw River Forest Reserve, Ndumfri forest reserve; coastal
wetlands such as Amanzule wetlands which is an Important Birds and Biodiversity Area based on
Birdlife International’s criteria; and sandy beaches and marine biodiversity.
143
Despite the benefits obtained from these unique ecosystems, population growth and associated
uncoordinated developments as well as threats of the environmental footprints of mining, the
emerging Oil and Gas industry and climate change may comprise the sustainability of these resources.
Considering the critical nature of the above assertion, the Wildlife Society of Ghana is implementing a
project in Ellembelle District dubbed “Enhance the knowledge and awareness of the ecological
importance of the Amanzule wetland catchment area, and the associated livelihoods” under the ‘STAR
Ghana’ pooled fund initiative. The project seeks to strengthen environmental awareness amongst
local stakeholders and equip them with skills to monitor and detect changes in ecologically sensitive
areas, increase knowledge on how to engage environmental compliance enforcement agencies and
development proponents during Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process as well as strengthen
available structures for effective communication and feedback.
The project has mapped ecologically sensitive sites in the Amanzule area and it is using a community
based ecological monitoring approach to implement a simple but robust biodiversity monitoring
protocol that has been developed using the Important Birds and Biodiversity Areas global monitoring
framework to enhance local level environmental monitoring in the district.
3.11.2
Coastal Sustainable Landscapes Projects (CSLP) The above project is USAID sponsored is focused on climate change mitigation and adaption. The
objective is to strengthen capacity for low emission development through improved coastal forest
landscape management.
The projects have several interventions which among others are; the implementation of agroforestry
and forestry practices, Short and medium term livelihood improvement activities like
Bee-keeping expansion
Increased Vegetable Production
Woodlots for Charcoal Production
Also assistance with management of greening areas as designated in spatial plans by Town and
Country Planning Units. Establishment of trees in open areas and schools to promote urban greeneries.
144
Other intervention are Community Management of coastal zone and wetlands area (restore/replant
degraded mangroves sites, working with community based natural resource management groups eg.
CREMAs) and facilitation of the establishment of Village Savings and Loans Association VSLA (to help
promote local livelihood activities)

MONITORING AND EVALUATION
6.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements The monitoring and Evaluation will be done by the District Assembly through the District Planning and
Coordinating Unit – DPCU and Sectoral Departments as indicated in the Annual Action Plan.
Unforeseen changes in the Socio-Economic and Government Policies will affect the Plan. As a result
there is the need for continuous monitoring and evaluation to enable the necessary adjustment and
revision to be done.
6.1.2 Monitoring Report Monitoring starts with the implementation of the projects. It is aimed at making sure that the Project
progresses according to laid down procedures, Bill of Quantities, and scheduled as well as maintaining
high quality standards. The District Monitoring Team will be responsible for the overall supervision of
the Programmes and Projects in the Annual Plan.
A monitoring record will be kept during the implementation, which will form the basis of writing
monthly monitoring report to the District Chief Executive and also to correct mistakes.
6.1.3 Monitoring Framework The Monitoring Framework outlines the mechanisms and indicators for the monitoring of the
development programmes and projects and this is shown in the table below:

CHAPTER 7
COMMUNICATION STRATEGY
7.1 Introduction This chapter deals with how to disseminate the content of the Ellembelle District Medium
Term Development Plans (DMTDP). It also discusses the expected responsibilities of
stakeholders and other principal action agents as well as all the collaborating agencies in the
implementation of the District plans. Strategies for promoting dialogue to generate feedback
from the public regarding the provision of socio-economic infrastructure and related services
are also discussed.
Dissemination of DMTDP and Annual Progress Report of Implementation
To solicit for support for funding, logistic, and human resources for effective implementation
of the DMTDP, the Assembly will disseminate the plans to all stakeholders at the following
levels:
District Assembly Level
The development goal, objectives, and strategies stated in the medium term development
plans would be known to all Assembly Members, decentralised departments and agencies as
well as the staff of the Assembly for implementation.
Town/ Area Council/ Unit Committee Level
All stakeholders at the Area Council and Unit Committee levels, specifically the leaders need
to be enlightened on the content of the 2014-2017 medium term development plans to
enable them carry the message to their people. This will be done through the following:
1. The chiefs, community based/youth associations, market-women, non-
governmental organizations, the GPRTU, and other members of the private
274
sector about their roles/responsibilities and benefits to themselves and the
entire society at large.
2. Durbars, seminars, community workshops etc. would be organized on the plans
to sensitized all stakeholders
3. Investment opportunities in the district would be promoted to enable the
private sector and development partners to be attracted to the plan
Regional and National Organizations/Institutions
It is important to disseminate the plans beyond the borders of the district so as to serve as a
means of informing the public/private institutions, and the general public on the potentials
that exist in the district. This approach will also serve as a means of soliciting for financial and
material supports for the plan implementation. This will also involve the members of
parliament in the district.
International Organizations
The District Assembly would also promote the plans through workshops and seminars to
attract financial agencies in addressing people’s need. The plans would be summarized into
brochures and leaflets whilst a Website is also created for the wider international community.
7.2 Expected Roles/Responsibilities of stakeholders in the plan
implementation The role of all key stakeholders in the implementation on the plans is very important. Hence,
the anticipated role that each stakeholder will play is highlighted as follows:
275
7.2.1 Ellembelle District Assembly The decentralization policy coupled with the Local Government Act 462 designates District
Assemblies as planning Authorities and not responsible for the preparation/ formulation of
plans but also their implementation, monitoring and evaluation. This implies that the
Ellembelle District Assembly in collaboration with departments and agencies as well as other
non-governmental organizations are responsible for the day to day running of the district and
the assessment of projects after implementation. To, implement these projects/programmes;
it is necessary that the district assembly mobilizes funds both from within and outside the
district. The Local revenue base needs to be fully assessed and restructured to give the
assembly a sound financial footing for projects implementation.
The District Assembly is charged with the overall responsibility for the process of
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the development projects/programmes. This
role can best be performed by tapping the available human and technical resources of the
Expanded District Planning Co-ordinating Unit, Departments and Agencies, Sub-Committees,
Executive Committee, NGOs and development partners
The technical skills of the assembly/departments/agencies need to be tapped for the
performance of the following functions:
Generation and provision of funds for implementation of programmes/projects
Setting up of terms of reference and framework for co-ordination and collaboration
among institutions involved in the implementation of the development plans
Identification and due response to implementation issues such as legal, administrative
and traditional bottlenecks
Identification and invitation/attraction of potentials investors in the district
Periodic revision of plan implementation, procedure and effective adjustments in the
response to the changing circumstances
276
7.2.2 Executive Committee The Executives Committee would have to play the leading role of informing the Assembly
members about the content of the plans, status of projects implementation and problems
being encountered during the implementation to enable the electorates understand issues
7.2.3 Sub-Committee The various sub-committees need to be strengthened with the requisite personnel; skills
knowledge and experience to enable the members participate actively in the implementation
of the development plans.
7.2.4 Decentralized Departments/Agencies There are major actors in the process of implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The
departments/agencies will provide technical guidance and facilitate the implementation of
desirable projects/programmes.
7.2.5 Chiefs, Opinion Leaders and Traditional Authorities The chiefs, Opinion Leaders and Traditional Authorities and owners need to be part of the
process of the plan implementation to enable them have informed decisions on their
responsibilities in implementing the programmes/projects designed in the plan
7.2.6 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)/ Development Partners The District is mindful of the crucial roles played by Non-Governmental Organizations in
support of various projects/programmes in the district. The role of NGOs and other
development partners has been very crucial for the successful implementation of planned
programmes/projects. It is hoped that the development partners will bite into the plan to
enhance the overall development of the district.
277
7.2.7 Communities Communities offer a lot of support starting from project identification, design and
implementation, monitoring and evaluation. They also play important roles by providing
counterpart funds towards projects implementation. This is to enhance the principle of
community ownership and management for sustainability. In this direction, communities
provide labour, land, local expertise, counterpart funds, etc for projects implementation.
It is hoped that communities would continue to offer their best through project identification,
implementation, and evaluation for sustainability.
7.3 Strategies for promoting dialogue/management of public
expectations concerning services The District Assembly has adopted several strategies for promoting dialogue and eliciting
information from the public regarding the implementation of planned programmes and
projects in the plan. Stakeholders meetings would be held periodically at the Town/Area
Council level to update the people on progress of work.
Also, the Assembly would hold meeting with identified civil society organisation, Artisans,
Religious Groups, etc to discuss the implementation of the plan and receive feedback.
The District Assembly would to a large extent involve the people in the monitoring and
evaluation of programmes and projects to quickly respond to the concern and expectation of
the people during the implementation of the plan. Progress reports on plan implementation
would be discussed at sub-committee meetings and quarterly review meetings would also be
held to address people’s concern in the process of implementation. Furthermore, the Public
Relations and Complaint Committee of the Assembly would provide a platform for the hearing
of issues regarding the implementation of the programmes/projects in the District.
278
7.4 Conclusion The consultative participatory nature of the plan preparation process will mean that all
relevant stakeholders and development partners will be very keen and show commitment in
the implementation of the plan. The document should be seen as the Manifesto, all
stakeholders should ensure that all planned strategies or interventions are strictly
implemented. This will help improve the quality of lives of the people by ensuring wealth
creation and improving the living standards of the people in the District.
To achieve the set objectives of the MTDP of Ellembelle District, adequate resources must be
mobilized both internally and externally to fund the planned activities between 2014 – 2017.
The SEA tools reveal the importance of mainstreaming environmental issues in the DMDTP.
This will afford the District to achieve sustainable development.
Lastly, it is expected that funds would be released on timely bases to support planned
activities in order to achieve the objectives set in the DMTDP, 2014 – 2017 for Ellembelle
District Assembly.
