1.2 Performance Review of 2010-2013 Medium Term Development Plan

The District Development concern for the planned period under the Ghana Shared Growth

and Development Agenda (GSDA2010-2013) -the national strategic policy framework which

guided and directed the implementation of the Kpandai District’s Medium Term

Development Plan for 2010-2013, was

Enhancing production and productivity as well as the economic well being of the people

through adequate provision and utilization of social services, ensuring good governance and

the rights of the individual in the District

This was pursued through the implementation of comprehensive programmes of action aimed

at strengthening the capacities of the human resource base of the district as well as the

provision of adequate social services. Others included the activities aimed at boosting and

sustaining high productivity of relevant sectors of the district’s economy including

agriculture, commerce and industry.

Significant strives were also made towards enhancing the capacity of institutions to deliver

improved and efficient services district wide and the pursuance of programmes for the

vulnerable and the excluded.

In the midst of significant strides in the achievement of the set objectives during the period, a

number of bottlenecks were encountered. Some of the major constraints and or challenges for

the progress of planned activities were the lack of adequate funds to finance the projects and

programmes that were aimed at meeting planned targets. This led to low development of

school, health and transport infrastructure culminating in acute service delivery constraints,

and manifested in low primary school enrolment, and poor school performance. In spite of

the progress made in most sectors of the district economy to ensure equity, gender disparities

can still be observed in all sectors including education, production, health, employment, and

access to and control over land.

Also, some measures have been taken aimed at strengthening local government structures and

encouraging grass root participation. This notwithstanding, little improvement was achieved

in that regard and the sub-district structures which is the focal point of the local governance

still remained dormant and ineffective.

In addition to the above generalized view of the Plan and it achievements under the planned

period, the assessment of the implementation status of projects and programmes in the

District was done with reference to the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda

(GSGDA) thematic areas which included Transparent and Accountable Governance; Human

Development, Productivity and Employment; Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic

Stability; Ensuring Competitiveness In Ghana’s Private Sector; Accelerated Agriculture

Modernization And Sustainable Natural Resource Management; Infrastructure, Energy And

Human Settlement as well as Oil And Gas Development.

The table below shows the projects status during the planning period.

1.3.0 Other Interventions Including Cross-Cutting Issues

This part of the report covers the issues on the progress made with respect to special programmes

being implemented in the District within the last Planning Session. The following are brief

statements of progress of such programmes.

1.3.1 The National Youth Employment Programme

The National Youth Employment Programme has engaged youth under various models being

implemented in the District. The breakdown is as follows:

1.3.2 Outcomes of Vulnerability Programmes as well as Gender Programmes

The district registered 230 People Living with Disability (PWDs) comprising 140 women and 70 men.

The total number who benefited from the DACF is 237 made of 135 women and 102 men. The total

amount disbursed is Eighty Three Thousand, Two Hundred Fifty Ghana Cedis (GhC 83,250.00). Some

of the beneficiaries used the money in farming, animal rearing, paying their children school fees,

petty trading among others.

39

A total of 105 women benefited from training programmes in soap and pomade making as well as

batik tie and dye. They were given basic tools to start –up.

Sensitization programmes on child neglect, child betrothal and polygamous marriages were

organized in the district. Nine hundred (900) benefited from the sensitization programmes

comprising 550 males and 350 females.

For the disaster preparedness in the area of floods, communities along the riverbanks were

sensitized. A total of 2,300 (1,320 females and 980 males) community members benefited from the

sensitization. Anti-bush fires campaigns were carried out in over 30 communities. Over 1,450

women and 1,800 benefited from the campaigns.

School related gender violence programmes were carried out in some selected schools in the

district. The total number of school children who benefited were 970 comprising 634 males and 336

females. Kpandai Senior High and some of Junior High Schools in the district benefited from

sensitization on the dangers of pre-marital sex. 450 boys and 356 girls benefited from the

sensitization.

Challenges & Prospects:

Delay in the release of Monthly Allowance

Some of the youth are able to go for further education

1.3.3 Incentives for Business Development in the District

Some of the incentives available for business development in Kpandai District have to do with the

following:

Availability of water resources that could be harnessed for various uses

Abundance of fertile lands for farming purposes

Availability of a large unskilled labour force

1.3.4 Land under Irrigation

The District has constructed two irrigation dams with support from Northern Region Poverty

Reduction Strategy Programme (NORPREP) an IFAD funded project. Both dams are completed and

farmers are busily undertaken the dry season farming.

40

1.3.5 The Capitation Grant

The Capitation Grant is currently on-going in the district with all the Government Schools benefiting

from the transferred grants. The grant is normally used as a replacement of the school fees for each

pupil in the Primary and Junior High Schools. This initiative of Government has tremendously

increased enrolment at the Primary and Junior High Schools in the District.

1.3.6 The School Feeding Programme

The Ghana School Feeding is also on going in the district at the 21 primary schools. A total of 10,379

pupils made up 5,320 males and 5,059 females are benefiting from one Nutritious Hot Meal each

school day.

There exist in the district institutional structures for fighting HIV/AIDS. These are the

District AIDS Committee and District Response Initiative and Management Team.

However, they are not active on the ground due to inadequate funding of their

activities. In spite of all these numerous challenges, some education and campaigns

are on-going in areas of stigmatization, prevention and control as well as awareness

creation among the people in the district.

The Kpandai District Assembly has also prepared a Gender Strategic Plan covering

2009-2012. It is hoped that the plan will be implemented.

As part of the efforts of the Kpandai District Assembly to include women in the

decision making processes at the local level, four women were appointed as

Government Appointees in the General Assembly.

Also, the Assembly formed a Sub-committee on Women and Children so that the

views of the Committee will be mainstreamed into the decisions of the Assembly.

In the area of environmental governance, the Assembly has constructed 782

household latrines with support from the I-WASH Project. Through the Ghana

Environmental Management Project (GEMP) , Assembly has also formed a District

Environmental Management Committee as well as seven Community Environmental

Management Committees.

1.4 Statement of Income and Expenditure

In terms of internally generated revenue, the Assembly performance in 2010 and 2013 is very

bad. For instance in 2012 and 2013, the percentage share of the IGF was 1.28% and 2.52%

respectively. This means that the Assembly depended so much on the DACF and the donor

funds. For instance, in 2012 and 2013 the DACF amounted to 70.51% and 80.31%

respectively. The tables below show the income and expenditure for the two years.

1.5 Key Problems/Issues Encountered During the Implementation 2010-2013 DMTDP

The major challenges that militated against the plan implementation included:

Inadequate funds to execute planned activities, this emanated among other things

from the low-income generation of the Assembly; delay in the release of funds by

some of the major funding sources of the Assembly such as the DACF;

Ineffective functioning of the grassroots decentralized structures such as the

Town/Area Councils and the Unit Committees;

Inadequate personnel in most of the decentralized departments.

42

1.6 Lessons Learnt which Have Implications for the DMTDP (2014-2017)

The following were lessons learnt which may have implications for 2014-2017 DMTDP;

Tracking/assessing of progress of development interventions depended solely on the

availability of data so this calls for proper collection and storage of data

There should not be overreliance on DACF because of the high percentage deducted

at source and unseemliness.

43

1.7 Profile of the District

1.7.1 Introduction

Legislative Instrument 1885 having the district capital located at Kpandai carved Kpandai

District out of the East Gonja District in February 2008. According to the 2010 PHC, the

district has a population of 108,816 made of 54,997 Males (50.5%) and 53,819 females

(49.5%). The population above 15 years stands at 57,160 with a mean age of 21 and sex ratio

of 102. 1.2.3 Geophysical Characteristics.

1.7.2 Location and size

The District can be located at the South-Eastern corner of the Northern Region of Ghana and

lies between latitudes 8º N and 9.29º N and longitudes 0.29 º E and 1.26ºW. It is bordered to

the North by Nanumba South District, East Gonja to the West, Krachi West District to the

South-West, Nkwanta North District to the East.

The District has a total land area of 1,132.9Km Square. The District is strategically located –

the central point between the Northern part and Southern part of the Eastern corridor of

Ghana. The District can therefore take advantage of its strategic location to be a gateway to

both the Southern and Northern Ghana.

44

45

46

1.7.3 Relief and Drainage

The lands are gently undulating with few depressions. There are few high hills to the eastern

corridor of the district but mountains are completely absent. The soils are generally sandy

loamy except in the lowlands and swampy areas where alluvial deposits are found.

The district is endowed with three big rivers- River Oti, River Daka, White Volta and its

tributaries that transverse the district at vantage points and floods these areas at the peak of

the rainy season. There are also low lying and swampy areas which also become waterlogged

during the rainy season. Other water bodies found in the District include numerous

intermittent streams located in most parts of the District. These water bodies constitute

important resources for the people as most of them depend on them for household use, fishing

and transportation.

The topography of the District is not a hindrance for road development and yet most of the

communities in the District are accessible only by foot paths .Generally, the area is well

drained except that few portions located close to the major rivers and streams become

waterlogged and pose problems for human and vehicle movement in the rainy seasons. The

water bodies also create large expanse of river banks that offer an advantage for rice

cultivation.

1.7.4 Climate

The District lies in the Tropical Continental Climatic Zone with the mid-day sun always

overhead. As result, temperatures are fairly high ranging between 29oC and 40oC. Maximum

temperature is usually recorded in April, towards the end of the dry season. Minimum

temperatures are also recorded around December-January, during the Harmattan period. Just

like any part of West Africa, the district comes under the influence of the wet South-West

Monsoon and the dry North-East Trades winds which are associated with the rainy season

and the dry harmattan conditions respectively.

The rainfall pattern in Kpandai District is characterized by irregularity and variability in

terms of timing of onset, duration and total amount of rainfall, which has been the key

limiting factor affecting crop production in the district. However, the district has one main

rainy season which is sufficient to support and sustain plant life. The total annual rainfall

ranges between 1150mm to 1500mm.

This climatic pattern is good for food crop production and to some extent, forest

development. However, the concentration of the rains in three months period affect farming

since most parts of the year when rains are off is usually declared as “off farming” and the

people spend most of this period idling. Similarly, the pattern affects accessibility to certain

communities as most roads become flooded during the peak season rendering them

impossible or unmotorable.

1.7.5 Vegetation

The District is located in the transitional zone between the Northern Savannah and the moist

semi deciduous forest. The natural vegetation in the district is the Guinea Savannah

47

Woodland, which has evolved from climatic conditions and modified substantially by human

activities. There are few grooves, which have been preserved over the years.

The tree cover consists of semi-deciduous trees such as oil palm trees; raffia palm; acacia;

shea-nut trees; dawadawa trees among others. In addition, tall grasses that characterize

Guinea Savannah areas are extensively spread throughout the district. A large number of both

plant and animal species inhabit the natural environment.

The tree cover is relatively dense, compared to the rest of the districts in Northern Region.

However, intensive harvesting of the trees for fuel wood and charcoal production, and bad

attitude of the Fulani herdsmen are fast reducing the tree cover.

1.7.6 Soils

The soils in the district are classified into three major groupings. These include alluvial soils

classified as Glysols, which is found around the Volta Lake, particularly in the drawn-down

zone of the Volta Lake, in the dry season. The soils along the Lake are medium textured and

moderately well drained in parts. The soil is potentially fertile for the commercial cultivation

of yams and maize.

The bulk of the district is covered by ground water laterites, developed mainly from Voltaian

Sandstone materials, highly concretionally with frequent exposures of iron pan and boulders.

There are, however, deeper and slightly better soils in some locations, which could support

shifting cultivation patterns. Any development should include maintenance of vegetation

cover to prevent soil erosion.

The other major soil group is the relatively fertile Savannah Ochrosols. This soil group is

moderately well drained with good water retention. The soils types found in the District are

good for the cultivation of crops such as yam, maize, groundnut, cassava among others. Also

the recent discoveries of smooth sand (Sea-Sand) around Blajai may be an important revenue

sources to the District if access road is created to the site.

1.7.7 Environmental Situation

The quality of both the built and natural environment is vital for the sustainable growth and

development of the district. Developmental initiatives can only be meaningful and

sustainable when it is founded on a well managed and healthy built environment. To this

end, the protection of natural environment to prevent deforestation, land degradation and loss

of ecosystem is paramount. The District Natural and Built Environment are therefore

examined in this section.

1.7.8 Natural Environment

The District’s natural environment is characterized by numerous problems emanating from

the rainfall pattern, nature of soils, use of energy resources, farming and household activities.

48

The pattern of rainfall experienced in the district to a large extent contributes to the

environmental degradation of the district. From December to March when the rains are off,

the area becomes dry and the vegetation is destroyed by bush fires leaving the land bare.

This serves as an avenue for extensive soil erosion when the rains set-in around April or May.

This phenomenon has led to extensive land degradation in most parts of the district.

A significant portion of the district abound in clay soils and this poses serious problems for

human and vehicle movement due to the floods that are normally associated with clay with

the onset of the rains.

About 90% of the population depends on wood and charcoal as the main source of energy for

both domestic and commercial purposes. The collection of wood and the production of

charcoal lead to environmental degradation in all the settlements in the district. The

developmental constraints associated with the use of charcoal and wood as the main sources

of energy includes.

Deforestation

Soil erosion

Loss of soil fertility

Ecological imbalance

The practice of clearing and burning the vegetation for farming in the district also cause

erosion and deforestation in the district. Since about 90% of the population is farmers, these

have adverse impact on the food security in the District.

The main problems of the district environment and sanitation are caused by household

activities. About 80% of the population in the district disposes off both solid and liquid

waste within the vicinity of their houses and these are carried into the various water bodies by

run-offs thereby polluting them. The logical consequence of this is the wide spread incidence

of sanitation related diseases such as diarrhoea, bilharzias, dysentery and other water borne

diseases etc.

1.7.9 Built Environment

The state of the built environment in the District leaves much to be desired. This is traceable

to poor spatial planning, poor waste management, lack of District bye- laws, poor building

technology etc. With the absence of effective development control machinery in the district,

physical development has been haphazard and uncoordinated leading to incompatible land

uses especially in the urban and semi urban settlements of Kpandai, Kumdi, Buya and Kitare

etc. Worse still the general absence of drains in the district has exposed most communities to

severe erosion resulting in reel and gullies and these exposed foundations of buildings.

Similarly, large portions of the feeder roads in the District are badly eroded increasing

travelling time by more than half the normal travel time.

49

1.7.10 Demographic Characteristics

Population is a critical issue in every district development. The Population of a District is its

greatest resource. It is the instrument and objective of the district’s development, hence the

protection and enhancement of its welfare is the District’s first responsibility (adapted from

“Ghana Population Policy, 1969”)

1.7.11 Population Size and Distribution

Table 2.1 presents information on the district population by age, sex and type of locality. The

district has a total population of 108,816 made of 54,997 (50.54%) male and 53,819 (49.46%)

females. Sex ratio refers to the number of males per 100 females in a population. The district

has a sex ratio of approximately 102 that is, for every 100 females; there are 102 males in the

district. The age bracket of 55-59 has the highest sex ratio of 126.8 and the least being 30-34

with 79.0.

1.7.12 Age and sex structure

The population size decreases considerably as the age groupings increases except between

70-74. The changes in the age structure between 70-74 years also affect changes in the male

and female populations. This trend is reflected in both urban and rural populations. The male

population is higher than the females between 40 and 69 years but above 84 years the trend

distorts. There is a rapid change in the sex structure between 20 and 44 years where the male

exceeds the female population. The population in the rural localities is higher than the urban

at all age groups.

1.7.13 Population Pyramid

Figure 2.1 portrays that the district’s population structure is broad at the base and narrows

upwards. The district population is therefore more youthful in nature and has the potential of

increasing the productive work force with time.

The age group with a larger proportion of the population is 0-4 years followed by 5-9 years in

that order up to 50-54 years. Within the female population, the trend continues up to 65-69

and spontaneously increases between ages 70-74. The trend then continues till 94 years and

older.

In the male population, the decreasing trend is observed up to 50-59 and increases at age 60-

64, and fluctuates after age 64. This trend is an indication that the male population in the

district does not obey the natural order of population pyramid. There is a drastic reduction in

the population for both sexes in the district between ages 55-59 years. Between 0 to 9 years,

the male population in the district exceeds that of the females.

51

Figure 1.1: Population pyramid by age and sex

Population


1.7.14 Sex ratio

Sex ratio measures the number of males in relation to every 100 females. The district has a

sex ratio of 102. Table 2.1 shows that the population below age 15 (0-14), the economically

active (15-64) and aged (65+) have the sex ratio of 108, 96 and 99 respectively. This means

that there are more males below fifteen years (0-14) than the economically active and the

aged populations. The sex ratio assumes an increasing pattern between zero and 19 years but

falls between 20 and 34 years. There are fluctuations of sex ratio between 45and 94 years

with the highest between 55-59 years. This is an indication that there are many males than

females who are aged between 50 and 59 years than any other age group in the district.

1.7.15 Dependency ratio

Table 2.1 presents information on the dependency situation in the district. The dependency

ratio is expressed as a percentage of the dependent population (persons aged less than 15

years and those above 64 years) relative to the working population (i.e. the population aged

15-64 years).

The age-dependency ratio for males and females in the district is 110 and 99 respectively.

This means that there are 110 male in the dependent ages for every 100 persons in the

working ages unlike the females which is a burden on the economically active group. The

urban localities in the district have age-dependency ratio of approximately 82 and that of the

rural being 108.

1.7.16 Fertility, mortality and migration

1.7.16.1 Fertility

Fertility refers to the number of live children a woman has ever given birth to in her life time.

The current fertility data that is births in the last 12 months to women aged 15-49 years have

been used to estimate age specific fertility rate, total fertility rate, general fertility rate and

crude birth rates for all the districts in Northern Region as presented in table 2.2. Information

on fertility indicators is necessary for planning of social development programmes in the

region and the districts.

Kpandai and Savelugu/Nanton districts have the highest total fertility rates of 4.3 in the

region. The lowest total fertility rate is recorded in ZabzuguTatali and Karaga with 2.9 and

2.9 respectively. Kpandai district has a general fertility rate of 123.0 which is higher than the

regional rates of 101.9. This explains that 123 live births are given by 1,000 women who are

between ages 15-49 per year. It therefore implies that family planning services are to be

intensified in the district so as to control the population growth. The crude birth rate for the

district is 27.2 which is also greater than the regional figure of 24.

1.7.16.2 Mortality

Mortality is about the process of death and changes that occur in the population structure.

Data on mortality are used as benchmarks to determine the health status and growth

potential of the population. Table 1.8 presents female population 12 years and older by age,

children ever born, children surviving and sex of child.

Out of the female population of 53,819in the district, 32,714 reported that they have ever

given birth. Children ever born to these females are made of 48,620 males and 46,352

females. The children who survived to these females stand at 81,888 made up 41,535 males

and 40, 353 females. The lowest reported children ever born are within the age bracket of 12-

14 with 16 children for both sexes and 15-19 with 633 children for both sexes. The highest

reported children ever born fall within the ages 30-34 with 14,248 children for both sexes and

60+ with 16,728 children for both sexes.

Table 1.9 highlights on the total population in the northern region and various districts in the

region, deaths occurring in the households and crude death rate in the districts and the entire

northern region. Crude death rate refers to all total deaths per 1000 population in a given

year.

A total of 14,714 deaths occurred in the entire households in the region within a population of

2,479,461. The crude death rate is 5.9, which imply that six persons died out of every 1,000

population in the region. The crude death rate of the district is 5.1 with the highest population

is the Tamale metropolis with a population of 371,351 which recorded 1,413 deaths in the

households with crude death rate of 5.67. Yendi municipal is the next populous district with a

population of 199,592 with 1,293 household deaths and a crude death rate of 6.48.

Kpandai district recorded a crude death rate of 5.09, which is lower than that of the regional

rate of 5.93. The district recorded the 6thlowest crude death rate among the 20 districts in

northern region. In case of individual deaths occurring in the households in the districts,

Saboba recorded the least of 235 followed by Chereponi with 288.

1.7.16.3 Migration

Birthplace of migrants by duration of stay at current residence in the district is presented in

table 1.10. The district recorded the total of 14,777 migrants which is made of about 50

percent (7,771) born in the region and rest are born in other regions and outside Ghana. Apart

from Northern Region, most of the migrants (3,481) are born in Volta Region and 1,079

migrants born outside Ghana. The least region were the migrants of the district are born is

Western with only 41 migrants. In terms of the migrants’ duration or stay in the district, 25.6

percent of the migrants stay twenty years and more. Over thirty three percent who were born

outside Ghana have lived in the district for twenty or more years.

The closeness of the district to Volta Region might have accounted for most of the migrants

being born there. The high number of migrants who live in the district and were born outside

Ghana is likely to be the Kotokolis and Basaris who come from Togo to settle in the district

1.7.17 Religious Affiliation

Table 1.11 illustrates the population by religion and sex. Traditionalist recorded the highest

proportion of28.3 percent while other Christians recorded the least with 5.5 percent. Islam

recorded a proportion of 7.9 percent with those and no religion recording a significant

proportion of 11.2 percent.

The percentage of male with no religion (12%) is greater than female with no religion

(10.5%).It means that females are highly religious compared to males.

The proportion of males in Islam (8.1%) and tradition (28.8%) as against their female

counterparts is 7.6 percent and 27.9 percent.

However, females dominate Catholic, Protestants, Pentecost and other Christians while in

Islam it is the male who dominates.

Finally, there is dominance of Pentecostal\charismatic religion (22.6%) among the Christian

group.

1.7.18 Culture and Social Structure

The district has diverse cultures. All the ethnic groups in the district have their local chiefs. They

are further divided into clans with recognized clan heads. The Nawuris were the first ethnic

group to migrate to the area.

The clan heads play various roles in mobilizing their people for special functions. Amongst the

various clans, there is no established structure or hierarchy. This often leads to chaos as to who

amongst the numerous clan heads to pay homage to on a visit to a particular community. Ethnic

diversity in the district is a potential source of conflict and efforts should be made to avert those

situations.

Major celebrations that bring the people from all over the country to their traditional homes

include funerals and festivals such as the yam festival.

1.7.19 Settlement Systems

The settlement pattern is generally the dispersed type. Many of the communities are located

along major roads in the area, with populations sparsely distributed.

58

1.7.20 Economic Activity Status

The economic activity status is presented on figure 1.2. The economically active male population

is 87.1 percent and that of female is 83.5 percent. The economically not active proportion of

male is 12.9 percent and that of male is 16.5 percent

Figure 1.2: Bar chart showing economic activity status


Table 1.12 looks at the population 15 years and older by activity status and sex. From table 4.1,

85.3 percent of the population who are 15 years and older are economically active while 14.7

percent are economically not active. Ninety nine percent of the economically active population

worked and those who did not work but had job to go back to is 0.9 percent, whereas 0.1 percent

did voluntary work without pay.

For the economically active population, 87.1 percent are males and 83.5 percent females. Close

to 13 percent of the males are economically not active and that of female is 16.5 percent. For the

male economically active population, 99.1 percent are employed whereas females also constitute

98.9 percent.

Ninety nine percent of the employed males actually worked seven days prior to the census night,

0.9 percent did not work but had jobs to go back to whiles 0.1 percent did voluntary work

without pay. Among the females, 98.9 percent actually worked, 1.0 percent did not work but had

jobs to go back to and 0.2 percent did voluntary work without pay.

The unemployed in both sexes constitute one percent. About half of the unemployed have

worked before, seeking for work and are available for work. In the male and female population

respectively 43.6 percent and 54.3 percent have worked before, seeking for work and are

available for work. Females (54.3%) who have worked before, seeking for work and are

available for work is higher than their male (43.6%) counterparts. On the contrary, males

(56.4%) seeking for work for the first time is higher than that of the females (45.7%).

The economically not active population constitute 14.7 percent in the district out of which 20.2

percent did (home duties/ household chores), 47.3 percent is into full time education and 21.9

percent are either too old or too young to work.

Among the male population 12.9 percent did home duties/home chores which is less than the

females proportion of 25.8 percent. This means that females do a lot of household duties than

their male counterparts.

Sixty one percent of the economically not active population is into full time education. This is

higher than that of the female proportion of 36.9 percent. This means that males are into full time

education than females within the same age group in the district. Female education should

therefore be given greater attention.

Finally, almost equal number of males (1.7%) and females (1.6%) did not work for other

reasons.

Employed population 15 years and older by sex, age and activity status is presented on table

1.13. From table 1.13, 20.3 percent of the employed population is aged between 15 and 19 years

followed by persons between 20 and 24 years with 15.1 percent. This downward trend continues

up to 59 years. Interestingly, it rises from 60 to 64 years with 33 percent and continues up to 65

years and older (7.0%). The unemployment status continues to 99 years, which means that

persons between 65 and 99 years constitute 7.0 percent. This trend is seen in the employed,

unemployed and economically not active population as well as the male and female distribution.

Over sixteen percent of the employed population is between 15 and 19 years, followed by those

between 20 and 27 years (14.9%). This downward trend continues till the population 65years and

above. 57.1 percent employed population between 15 and 34 years.

The male population 18.1 percent of the employed is within 15 and 19 years and 14.7 percent in

the female population. Males aged between 15 and 34 constitute 55.7 percent as against 60.3

percent females within the same age category. This means that between 15 and 34 years females

are employed or likely to be employed in the district than male.

Over six percent of males above 65 years are employed which is higher than females (4.2%).

After 65 years males in the district are employed more than the females.

Population 26.4 percent is unemployed in the district and is between 20 and 24 years with 25.35

percent males and 27.3 percent females. Sixty percent of the unemployed persons are between

the ages 15 and 29 years among males whereas females are 60.4 percent. Unemployment is

almost the same between both sexes in the district. Unemployment among person 60 years and

above is high in females (4.3%) than males (3.1%). Conversely, between 55 and 59 years it is

higher in the male (50.3%) population than the female (0.7%).

About 43 percent of the economically not active population in the district is between 15 and 19

years. Among the male population it is 52.4 percent whereas in female population it is 36.0

percent. Cumulatively, 70.1 percent of the unemployed are between 15 and 24 years, most of

whom may be in full time education and therefore may not be available for work. The variation

in males and females in the same group may be due to the fact that most males are more likely to

be in full time education than females.

Above 60 years females (25.9%) are economically not active than their male (15.3%)

counterparts. The difference among the sexes may be due to the fact that, after child bearing

most females performs household chores than the males.

Agriculture is an important economic activity in Ghana, employing majority of the economically

active population. This chapter discusses households that are engaged in various agriculture

activities, such as; crops cultivation and trees grown, type of cropping, type of livestock reared

and fish farming.

The objectives of this chapter are three-fold: to analyze socio-demographic characteristics of

agricultural households, to analyze the types of farming activities, types of cropping, crops and

trees grown, livestock reared, and fish farming.

1.7. 25 Households in Agriculture

Figure 1.4 presents information on the type of farming activity by locality. Crop farming and

livestock rearing are main farming activities in the district. Over 90 percent of both urban and

rural localities are into crop farming and that for livestock rearing is 45.5 percent and 56.3

percent for urban and the rural localities respectively.

Table 1.24 looks at the main construction material used for the floor of dwellings in the country,

the region and the district. It indicates the distribution of these dwellings in the urban and rural

localities well.

The most predominant material used for the floor of dwelling unit in both the region and the

district is cement or concrete. Out of 214,535 dwellings in the region having cement or concrete

as the main construction materials for the floor of dwelling units, 10,397 of them are found in the

district representing 63.4 percent of all the dwellings in the district.

It is interesting to know that 82.5 percent and 61.0 percent of the dwellings in the urban and rural

localities in the district respectively have their floor constructed with cement or concrete.

The proportion of dwellings with earth or mud as the main constructional materials for the floor

of dwellings in the district is 35.8 percent. Among the urban localities 16.3 percent of the

dwellings have their floor constructed with earth or mud, which is lower than those in the rural

localities (38.3%).

Vinyl tiles have been used as the main construction material for 510 dwellings in the region with

only one located in the district. None of the dwellings in the district out of the regional figure of

365 have their floor constructed with terrazzo or terrazzo tiles.

Table 1.25 describes the main construction materials for roofing of dwelling units in the country,

region and the district and also their distribution in both urban and rural localities. The district

has a total of 17,967 dwellings that are made up of different materials for roofing.

A total of 12,307 dwellings in the district representing 68.5 percent are roofed with metal sheet,

which is higher than that of the entire regional proportion of 56.6 percent. A greater proportion

(98.5%) of these dwelling that are roofed with metal sheet is found in the urban localities which

is higher than those in the rural localities (65.2%)

Like in the urban localities, this proportion is higher than the regional proportion of 43.5 percent.

The second widely used material for roofing of most of the dwellings in the district is the thatch,

palm leaf or raffia with a proportion of 27.2 percent which is lower than that of the entire

region’s proportion of 34.9 percent.

A greater proportion of dwellings in the rural localities (30.3%) have their roofs made of thatch,

palm leaf or raffia with the urban dwellings constituting only 3.6 percent. This pattern follows

that of the region with 46.7 percent and 11.12 percent respectively for rural and urban dwellings.

1.7.31 Room Occupancy

Table 1.26 shows the size of households and the number of sleeping rooms that they occupy in a

particular dwelling unit. A total of16, 394 households are there in the district ranging from one-

member household to ten or more-member household.

Among all the 817 single member households, 80.4 percent of them occupy single rooms, 14.1

percent occupy two rooms, 3.3 percent occupy three rooms and only 0.4 percent occupies six

rooms. The proportion of rooms occupied by single member household decreases as the number

of sleeping rooms increases. The maximum number of sleeping rooms that a single member

household occupies in the district is six. Like in single-member households, 47.8 percent of the

two-member households in the district occupy a single sleeping room with36.5 percent and 7.3

percent occupying two and three sleeping rooms respectively. A total of only 1.8 percent

occupies seven (7) sleeping rooms or more.

For household size of three, 38.2 percent occupies two (2) sleeping rooms, 36.2 percent occupies

single rooms, 11.9 percent occupies three (3) sleeping rooms and 6.7 percent occupies four (4)

sleeping rooms. Three member households who occupy five (5) sleeping rooms or more are only

7.0 percent.

77

The number of sleeping rooms occupied by four (4) member households follows the same trend

as the three (3) with majority of them (40.9%) occupying two (2) sleeping rooms, 26.2 percent

occupying one (1) sleeping room, 17.4 percent occupying three (3) sleeping rooms, 7.2 percent

occupying four (4) sleeping rooms and as low as 8.4 percent occupy five or more (5+) sleeping

rooms. Over 44 percent of the five (5) member-households occupy only two (2) sleeping rooms

and 18.4 percent and 16.6 percent occupies 3 and 1 room respectively.

39.5 percent and 32.5 percent of six (6) and seven (7) member households occupies two sleeping

rooms respectively, 29.3 percent of the eight (8) -member households occupies three (3) sleeping

rooms with 25.6 percent occupying two (2) sleeping rooms.

Furthermore, as 27.0 percent of the 9-member household occupies three (3) sleeping rooms, 22.8

percent of the household size of ten or more occupies four sleeping rooms.

Generally however, the number of rooms occupied by household irrespective of the size mostly

ranges from one to five in the district.

1.7.32 Access to Utilities and Household Facilities

Figure 1.5 shows the main source of power or energy. The use of kerosene lamp as a source

power or energy is the highest in the district with a proportion of 51.6 percent. Electricity

(mains) is the second highest with a proportion of 29.6 percent

78

Figure 1.5: Pie chart showing main source of power or energy


Table 1.27 shows the main source of lighting of dwelling unit in the district and their distribution

in both urban and rural localities.

The main source of lighting for most households in the district is kerosene lamps accounting for

51.6 percent in both urban and rural communities. However, 29.6 percent of the households use

electricity from the mains as their main source of lighting with only eight households

representing 0.0 percent using candle as the main source of lighting. A proportion of 16.7 percent

uses flashlight or touch light as their main source of lighting, whiles 0.9 percent uses electricity

from private generators.

The distribution pattern changes when it comes to urban and rural settings. Whereas 73.9 percent

of the households in urban localities use electricity (main), only 24.0 percent of the dwelling

units in rural localities use electricity (main). The main source of lighting for households in the

district is kerosene lamps but in urban it is the electricity (main). This is because most of the

households in the district are found in the rural than in urban localities.

The use of flashlight or touch light is the third widely used source of lighting in both urban and

rural households. Solar energy usage is prominent among the urban localities and that of the rural

localities is firewood.

Source of Water Drinking

80

Table 1.28 looks at main source of water for drinking and other domestic purposes. Nearly two-

fifth of the households in the district (39.5%) uses river or stream as their main source of

drinking water. Out of this, only 0.3 percent of the households are urbanized and 54.5 percent are

located in rural localities. This is an indication that the rural households lack portable drinking

water.

Bore –holes/ pumps/tube wells are the next widely used main source of drinking water in the

district (24.6%) with 5.5 percent and 27.1 percent of them emanating from urban and rural

localities respectively.

Public tap and standpipes serve as the main source of drinking water for 16.1 percent of the

households in the district. The urban localities in the district have 52.2 percent and 11.5 percent

of the rural households relying on public taps and standpipes as the main source of drinking

water. Pipe-borne outside the dwelling serves as the main source of drinking water for one-fifth

of the entire district households with 23.2 percent and 8.4 percent of urban and rural localities

respectively.

Table 1.29 shows the main source of cooking fuel and cooking space used by households as well

as their spread among the urban and rural localities. The widely used source of cooking fuel in

the district is wood with a proportion of 89.5 percent and the least is animal waste with no

household using it in the district. 95.6 percent of the rural households and 41.9 percent of the

urban households uses Wood as cooking fuel.

Charcoal serves as the main source of cooking fuel for 7.5 percent of the households in the

district and 49.4 percent and 2.1 percent in urban and rural communities respectively. However,

253 households representing 1.5 percent do not cook in the district. Greater proportion (3.9%) of

these households is in the urban localities and 1.2 percent in rural localities. Interestingly, only

four households in the district use saw dust as their main source of cooking fuel.

On the availability of cooking space, 38 percent of the households have separate rooms that are

exclusively used for cooking. The proportion of households using this facility in urban and rural

localities respectively is 23.8 percent and 39.8 percent. Rural households have secured cooking

space than their urban counterparts.

The use of open space in compound as the main cooking space is prominent in the district with

one-third of the households in the district practicing it.

The proportion of households in the district using separate room but shares with other

household(s) accounts for 11.4 percent out of which 10.0 percent and 11.6 percent are in the

urban and rural localities respectively.

Structure with roof but without walls serves as cooking space for 10.7 percent of the district

households and 5.3 percent and 11.4 percent of the urban and rural households respectively. The

least cooking space used by households in the district is the bedroom, hall or living room (0.2%)

with 0.1 percent and 0.2 percent emanating from urban and rural households respectively.

1.30. As many as 13,618 households representing 83.1 percent have no toilet facilities in the

district. They therefore use the bush, beach or field as their toilet facility. This practice is

worse in rural localities since 87.4 percent of the households are involved. In the urban

localities 47.1 percent of the households also have no such toilet facilities.

Only 10.5 percent of the households in the district use public toilet (WC, KVIP, Pit, Pan etc).

The use of WC as the main toilet facility in the district is very low with only 0.3 percent of

households patronising. It is better in urban localities (1.5%) than in the rural as 1.5 percent

and 0.1 percent respectively use such facility.

KVIP is used by 1.5 percent of all households in the district but in the urban and rural

localities, the patronage is 3.4 percent and 1.3 percent respectively.

Bathing facility widely used by household in the district is the use of own bathroom for

exclusive use with a proportion of 49.7 percent. Thirty five percent of the urban household

and 51.6 percent of the rural household also have their own bathroom for exclusive use.

The use of shared separate bathroom in the same house is patronized by one-fifth of the

district households. This proportion is replicated among the rural household but in urban

household the proportion increases slightly to 23.4 percent.

Shared open cubicle is used by 8.7 percent in all localities out of which 22.8 percent and 6.9

percent respectively come from urban and rural households.

Open Space around homes is also prominent among the district households with 9.2 percent

and 5.5 percent and 9.7 percent of the urban and rural households respectively.

The least used bathing facility in the River/Pond/Lake/Dam with 0.2 percent in all localities,

1.7.35 Method of Waste Disposal

Table 1.31 presents method of solid and liquid waste disposal by type of locality. Table 1.31

shows that 52.7 percent of the households in the district dispose their solid waste at public dump

(open space). The proportion of Households in the district who dump their solid waste

indiscriminately is 25.7 percent. Only 5.9 percent of households have their solid waste collected

with 8.4 percent and 5.4 percent being public dump (container) and buried by household

respectively.

The rural localities follow the pattern of the district as a proportion of 57.9 percent and 27.4

percent respectively use public dump (open space) and dumping indiscriminately. The least

method used in both urban and rural localities is where the household buries their solid waste.

However in urban localities the method of disposal changes as 61.5 percent use public dump

(container) and 12.6 percent do indiscriminate dumping of solid waste. The second widely used

method of waste disposal in the district is by dumping indiscriminately and the least used is

buried by household.

Close to 45 percent of the households throw their liquid waste to the street/outside their dwelling

with 41.0 percent throwing it onto the compound.

The disposal of liquid waste in rural localities and that of the district takes the same pattern as

46.6 percent of the liquid waste in rural communities throws the liquid waste onto the

street/outside with 41.2 percent throwing onto their compounds.

Conversely in the urban localities as most households (39.1%) throw their liquid waste onto the

compound, 29.3 percent throw it onto the street/outside the dwelling.

Equal proportion of 0.2 percent uses other disposal methods in all localities as well as urban and

rural localities.

Only 2.7 percent of the district households dispose the liquid waste through the sewerage system

with urban and rural having 1.2 percent and 2.9 percent respectively.

86

Interestingly 2.9 percent of rural households as against only 1.2 percent of the urban households

dispose the liquid waste through the sewerage system. The third widely used liquid waste

disposal method in both urban and rural localities is through drainage into a pit (soak away).

and female. Physical disability is higher among females (23.3%) than in males (20.1%). Close to

18 percent of the males have hearing disability as against their female with18.3 percent. Some

people have more than one form of disability and because of that the total percentage is always

greater than 100 percent due to the possibility of multiple forms of disabilities.

1.7.38 Distribution by Type of Locality

The number of people with disability in rural areas is 1,492 and 171 in urban areas. Sight

disability is the leading type of disability in both urban and rural localities with 39.8 percent and

35.3 percent respectively. Physical disability is the next highest with 28.1 percent in urban and

20.3 percent in rural.

A total of 22 persons representing 12.9 percent have intellect disability in urban locality and 12.3

percent and 13.3 percent in male and female population respectively. In rural localities, 7.2

percent have intellect disability of which 6.1 percent is male and 8.4 percent females.

In urban localities, 16.4 percent have emotional disability whereas 11.9 percent in the rural

localities. Among the urban males, emotional disability accounts for 11.1 percent as against 13.1

percent in the rural males.

However, 21.1percent of the urban females have emotional disability, which is far higher than

their counterpart in the rural (10.3%) locality. It is interesting to know that emotional disability

among urban males (11.1%) is lower than that of rural (13.1%). Conversely, it is higher among

urban females (21.1%) then rural female (10.3%).

1.7.40 Disability, Education and Literacy

Appendix table 1 looks at population 3 years and older by sex, disability type and level of

education. The district has a total of 1,593 person who are 3 years and older with a form of

disability. The male and female population stands at 853 and 740 respectively.

The population 3 years and older with a form of disability have various levels of educational

attainment. One thousand and fifty seven of the disables have never attended school, 32 attended

nursery, 48 attended kindergarten, 249 attended primary, 135 attended middle /JSS and SHS.

Four persons in the district attained vocational/technical/commercial level, 24 attained post

secondary and none attained bachelor degree or post graduate (certificate, diploma, masters or

PhD level.

Sight disability is the highest in the district with a population of 557 out of which 399 have never

attended school, 67 attended primary and 43 attended middle/JSS/JHS. Three hundred males and

257 females have sight disability out of which 201 and 198 have never attended school in male

and female population respectively.

Forty one males and 26 females have sight disability and attained primary level, 29 and 14

persons respectively in male and female population attained middle, JSS or JHS level. Physical

disability is the second highest with 178 males and 170 females out of which 106 and 123 in

male and female population respectively have never attended school.

Disability in all types aside intellectual is higher in males than females 3 years and older in the

district.

1.7.41 District Finance

This section of the plan deals with the analysis of revenue and expenditure of the District from

2008-2009. This is to assess the performance of various revenue and expenditure components

since the creation of the District. It is intended to inform the recommendations to be made in

order to improve the performance of the District’s finance. It further analyses key areas in both

revenue and expenditure that will require prompt attention if substantial financial allocations

from the District’s own resources to new development projects are to be made. Figures for the

revenue and expenditure for the period under review in this section have not been discounted to

reflect real change. Therefore the basic assumption is that changes in most of the rates charged

over the years (2) are manifestations of inflationary changes in the country over the period.

An analysis of the District revenue sources indicates that licenses and rates are the major

contributors to the Internally Generated Revenue. It contributed about 88.87% of the internal

revenue in 2008.

93

The major source of funds to the District is from external sources. The most important of these

to the financing of capital projects in the District is the District Assembly Common Fund, which

accounts for about 89.27% and 82.14% for 2012 and 2013 respectively. This implies that the

timely and sustainable disbursement of the Common Fund is a key factor in the District

development. Other external sources include GSOP, DDF, IBIS, GETFund among others.

1.7.42 Expenditure

The expenditure side of the District’s Budget has been divided into Recurrent and capital

expenditure to conform to the conventional budget structure of Local Governance in Ghana. As

can be noticed in the table below Travel & Transport was the highest recurrent expenditure item

accounting for about 1.72% and 1.24% of the expenditure for 2012 and 2013 respectively.

Development projects account for about 95.35% of the total budget for 2012 and 97.47% of the

budget for 2013. This means that most of the funds received by the District are spent on

development projects.

1.7.43 Traditional System of Governance

This describes the established structures and processes, which promote and guide development in

the District. There are two main systems of governance in the District. These are the traditional

system with established chiefs and clan heads representing the communities. The District

traditional governance is led by the Nawuris and Nchumburus Wuras and they oversee all the

communities in the District. They however have appointed representatives in communities all

over the District. Directly below the representatives are the elders and family heads as well as

settler’s heads. The next in the hierarchy are opinion leaders who mostly represent various

interest groups in the communities. These people play various roles in the management of

development projects and fostering peaceful co-existence in the various communities.

1.7.44 Institutional Framework for Local Governance

The various legal frameworks which guide local development in Ghana includes: the Civil

Service Law, 1993 (PNDC Law, 327), the National Development Planning System Law, 1994,

(Act 480) and the Local Government Law, 1993 (Act 462). These enactments place emphasis on

District Assembly in order to reinforce the attainment of total decentralization and participatory

development

According to the National Development (System) Law, 1994, (Act 480), all District Assemblies

are to submit District Development Plans to the Regional Coordinating Councils which will

intend harmonize the plans with the national development policies and priorities for

consideration and approval by the National Development Planning Commission.

There is therefore a vertical relationship between the National Development Planning

Commission at the National level, Regional Planning Coordinating Council at the Regional level

and the District Assembly at the District level. The figure below shows the New Local

Government Structure.

The day to day administration of the District and operationalizing the decisions taken by the

General Assembly is undertaken by the Central Administration. These consist of the core staff

of the District Assembly and the Decentralized Departments under the leadership of the District

Coordinating Director.

With the enactment of the Local Government Act 1993, Act 462, there ought to have been eleven

Departments (known as Decentralized Departments) established at the Assembly level but we

have only eight. The Departments are:

Central Administration

Education

Health

Finance

Works

97

District Assembly

Executive Committee The DA Administration and Technical

Staff (DPCU)

Agriculture

Social Welfare and Community Development

NADMO

The other Public Institutions not decentralized and operating in the District are:

Ghana Police Service

Bureau of National Investigations

National Commission for Civic Education

Electoral Commission

Centre for National Culture

Ghana Meteorological Services Department

Ghana Postal Services

1.7.46 Sub-District Structures

Town/Area Councils are instrumental in local level development. The District has one Town

Council (Kpandai), six Area Councils and 27 Unit Committees. These sub-district structures

have temporal staff and are responsible for development activities at the lowest local level.

1.7.47 Problems of District Administration

The main problems of the District Administration machinery include the following:

1. Inadequate staff accommodation

2. Inadequate logistics

3. Lack of incentives for workers

4. Poor revenue generation

5. Inadequate office accommodation

6. Low staff strength (especially Decentralized Departments)

7. Poor level of integration of decentralized departments into the District Assembly System

A number of decentralized departments are yet to be established in the District including:

1. Physical Planning Department

2. Industry and trade Department

3. Natural Resource Conservation Department, Forestry, Game and Wild Life Division

1.7.48 Peace, Security and Justice

The District has a Police Station at Kpandai. The police personnel maintain law and order in the

various communities. Military detachment at Bimbila supplements the efforts of the District

police to maintain peace and order. The District has no court and most cases are sent to Bimbila

and Salaga District Courts. The major security problems in the District include the activities of

Fulani Herdsmen, leadership problems in terms of the multi ethnic nature of the District’s

population which lack clear or established structures or hierarchy

1.7.49 Non Governmental Organizations

The following Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society Organizations and Community

Based Organizations are operating in the District:

1.7. 50 Education

The improvement of the Educational sector is paramount to the District development as it is the

main determinant of the nature and caliber of its human resource. The table below shows the

number of schools in the District.

The District is estimated to have over 250 communities; from the table above it means the

District still needs more schools to be established in the communities to make education

accessible to every community.

1.7.51 Circuits in the District

From the table below, it could be seen that the distribution of schools is skewed in favour of

Kpandai Circuit, which is the District Capital. This implies that more schools are needed to be

established in the other circuits especially the Wiae and Lonto Circuits.

1.7.52 Staffing Situation in the Schools

The teacher situation in the District is very bad compare to the Ghana Education Service

standards. The table below shows the staffing situation in the schools in the District

Table 1.39. Staffing in Schools

Male Female Total

KG 0 35 35

Primary 146 11 157

101

JHS 69 6 75

SHS 30 0 30


Out of 35 teachers at the KG level only 6 of them are trained. It is therefore not acceptable to

have very high non-professional teachers at the KG level, if foundation of children’s education is

to be very strong. The situation at the primary level is not different, while the total number of

teachers is 157; out of this only 54% are trained against 57% untrained. A similar situation

prevails at the JHS and SHS levels. It therefore implies that the District should sponsor more

teachers into the Teacher Training Colleges to augment the trained teachers situation in the

schools.

1.7.53 Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR)

Considering the enrolments at the KG and Primary levels against the total number of teachers,

one could see that PTR is at unacceptable levels of 250:1 and 105:1 at KG and Primary

respectively. This calls for more teachers in the District. The table below shows the PTR at

various educational levels.

1.7.54 Gross Enrolment Rate (GER)

GER measures the total enrolment in a given educational level (irrespective of age) expressed as

a percentage of the corresponding official age for that level. Therefore, gross primary school

enrolment rate for boys (male) and girls (female) in 2013/2014 academic years are 68.7 and 60.7

respectively. The total district gross primary school enrolment rate is 64.7, implying that more

children are still outside the classroom as indicated on the bar graph below. To solve this, the

102

District Education Office needs to embark on the enrolment drive and sanctification in the school

communities.

Figure 1.12: Gross Primary School Enrolment Rate

This is the number of pupils who manage to complete JHS 3 in a given year over the number of

pupils who enter JHS 1 in that particular year expressed as a percentage. From the graph below,

the JHS completion rates for both boys and girls are 80.7 and 60.1 respectively in 2013/2014

academic year. The total JHS completion rate in the district is 70.4 for the same academic year.

This implies that the JHS completion rate in the district for JHS is generally high but that of girls

is low. There is the need therefore to encourage more girls to be retained in the schools and also

encourage more girls to be enrolled.

There are a number of on-going and completed school building projects in the district. DDF,

GETFund, NORPREP and GSOP fund these projects among others. With the increasing number

of school children of school going age, there is the need for more interventions. Supporting

facilities like furniture and equipment are still inadequate and in some cases completely lacking.

1.7.56 School Feeding Programme

Currently there are 20 schools benefitting from the School Feeding Programme in the District.

Some of them are:

Okyerepe Presby Primary

Mbowura D/A Primary

Kpandai D/A Primary

Katiejeli E/A Primary

Wiae Tagbegben Primary

Kabeso Presby Primary

Kumdi West Bank Primarty

The general challenges of education in the district include: low level of gross enrolment of pupils

especially the girl-child, poor and inadequate school infrastructure, inadequate furniture, high

percentage of untrained teachers, inadequate teachers accommodation, lack of sanitation

facilities at schools, lack of adequate teaching and learning materials, inadequate trained

teachers, dormant PTAs and SMCs.

1.7.57 Health Care

The provision of quality health care delivery remains one of the top priorities of the District.

However, the existing condition and distribution of Health Facilities is poor leading to poor

access to quality health care delivery.

1.7.58 Health Facilities

The following are the health facilities available in the District.

Kpandai Hospital

Kpandai ECG Hospital

Oti River Clinic

Kitare Clinic

Bladjai Clinic

Kumdi Clinic

Loloto Clinic

105

Gulbi Quarters Clinic

Sobonjida Clinic

Lonto Health Centre

Buya Health Centre

For the people in the District to have access to modern health care, its means that more health

centres and clinics are to be opened to augment the twelve health facilities currently serving the

over 100,000 people in the District.

1.7.59 Health Personnel

It is not only the limited health facilities that the District is struggling with, but personnel to man

these facilities are virtually not available. Of all the ten health facilities in the District, there is no

medical doctor and currently there are only four medical assistants in four of the facilities.

The table below shows the health personnel distribution by facility.

1.7.61Ten Top Diseases in the District

The major diseases in the district ranked in terms of most prevalent include the following:

1.7.62 Four Top Causes of Maternal Death

In terms of maternal deaths, the following are the four top causes in the District

Haemorrhage (bleeding)

Eclampsia (pregnancy induced hypertension)

Sepsis (infection after delivery)

Obstructed labour

It is worth adding that all the health facilities are concentrated at the urban and semi- urban

settlements but 85% of the settlements in the district are rural. In more specific terms about 65%

of the populations (consisting of villages that are situated far off the major towns) have limited

access to the orthodox system of health delivery. The nature of access roads linking the health

facilities to the rural settlements is so poor that it takes the rural dwellers an average of 5 hours

travelling time to be able reach the nearest health facility.

107

1.7.63 Challenges of the Health Sector

The health sector is besieged with a number of problems. Among them are:

1. Inadequate health personnel

2. Lack of a district hospital

3. Inadequate residential and office accommodation for health personnel

4. Inadequate logistics

5. Inadequate health facilities

6. Poor road network

7. Lack of ambulance services

1.7.64 Vulnerability Analysis

The analysis of the fundamental issues of vulnerability in relation to it causal factors as well as

its relation to some sections of the population such as women and children, persons with

disabilities, HIV positive persons, the extreme poor and the destitute will inform policy direction

of the District towards designing programmes that will address their concerns.

The district abounds with a number of factors that predispose its population to one risk or the

other. Most of these factors are natural while others are manmade. Analysis of the current

situation of the District revealed that drought or rain failure is one of the factors that predispose

the people to the risk of food insecurity. Crop failure is common during years of drought and the

people who are mostly peasant farmers suffer severe forms of hunger. Small scale rearing of

cattle, goats, sheep and poultry are kept as alternative social security against periods of drought

and lean season. Other phenomenon of significant threat to the people includes floods.

Sometimes floods could raze the whole village down. The building pattern and the roofing

materials in most of the communities including sections of the District capital predispose the

communities to the risk of fire outbreaks and floods.

The combined effects of these factors make the district very vulnerable to acute food shortages,

fire disaster, cholera and other diseases including malaria. Women, children, the aged, the

physically challenged etc are the worst affected. Women and Children are less resilient to the

risk of acquiring sicknesses. Women lack equal access to productive resources such as land as

their male counterparts. They are the least educated in the formal sector and the worst placed in

terms of opportunities for alternative sources of employment.

A further analysis of the social setups of the indigenous people reveals a sense of declining

family ties and this has negative implications on the traditional social security system especially

for the aged, the physically challenged, Orphans and persons infected with HIV/AIDS. There is

108

a growing feeling of individualism among the people and this gradually weakening the social

security system.

1.7.65 Information Communication Technology

1.7.65.1 Ownership of Mobile Phones

Population 12 years and older by sex, mobile phone ownership and Internet facility usage

is presented on table 5.1. The population who are twelve years and older is 65,270 of which

32,556 are males representing 49.9 percent. The females in this age category are 32,714

representing 50.1 percent. The proportion of population who have mobile phones in the district is

13.7 percent. This means that the use of mobile phones in the very low.

A total of 8,956 people have mobile phones. Out of this, 6,454 of them are males representing

72.1 percent. The remaining 2,502 are females representing 27.9 percent, which shows that many

males have mobile phones than the females in the district.

1.7.65.2 The Use of Internet

Population 12 years and older by sex, mobile phone ownership and Internet facility usage

is represented in table 1.44. The proportion of the population using Internet facility in the district

is 0.5 percent, which translates to 535 persons. The numbers of males who use Internet facility in

the district are 216 representing 61.2 percent. On the other hand, a total of 137 females

representing 38.8 percent also use Internet facility in the district. Like ownership of mobile

phones, there is male dominance in the use of Internet facility.

1.7.65.3 Household Ownership of Fixed Telephone Lines

Household ownership of fixed telephone by sex of head is presented on table 5.2. The proportion

of households who have fixed telephone lines is 0.2 percent. A total of 26 households in the

district have fixed telephone lines. Twenty-four of them representing 92.3 percent are male-

headed household. Females head the remaining 2 households representing 7.7 percent. Once

again, males head many households who have fixed telephone lines in the district.

1.7.65.4 Household Ownership of Desktop or Laptop Computer

Table 5.2 captures table 1.45 captures household ownership of desktop/laptop computers by sex

of head. There are 16,394 households in the district with only 97 having desktop/laptop

computers. This represents 0.6 percent of the total households. The male-headed households are

14,092 with only 84 having desktop or laptop computers, which represent 86.0 percent. On the

other hand, females head 2,302 of the households representing 14.0 percent. Out of this, 13 of

the households have desktop/laptop computers representing 13.4 percent

1.7.66 HIV & AIDS

There exist in the district institutional structures for fighting HIV/AIDS. These are the District

AIDS Committee and District Response Initiative and Management Team.

However, they are not active on ground due to inadequate funding of their activities. In spite of

all these numerous challenges, some education and campaigns are on-going on stigmatization,

prevention and control as well as awareness creation among the people in the district. Also,

know your status campaigns were carried out in the District.

Unlike other districts, the district has recorded few incidences of HIV/AIDS cases this may be

due to the fact that people are not willing to go for the test.

The total number of reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the district in 2009 was 15 patients with 6

out of the 15 patients coming from Kitare which by this will constitutes the higher risk area in

the District. PmTCT services had started in the antenatal clinics by trained counsellors.

1.7.67 Gender Analysis

One of the key targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is to eradicate extreme

poverty and hunger by the year 2025. It was adopted by 189 nations-and signed by 147 heads of

state and governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000 (UN, 2000). This

target would be a mirage particularly when a significant majority of the rural women are the

poorest, deprived and not incorporated into development programmes of nations. It has been

realized in recent times that poverty and conflicts have become the bane of Africa’s under

development. Successive governments over the years have developed and implemented

programmes aimed at reducing abject poverty, conflict, illiteracy and disease. However, these

have yielded little or no desired results.

The Convention on the Elimination of All forms Of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW):

Article 14 (1) calls on states to take account of particular problems faced by women and the

significant role that rural women play in the economic survival of families, including work in

non- monetized sectors of the economy. Article 14 (2) also calls for measures to eliminate all

forms of discrimination against women in rural areas including their rights to enjoy adequate

living conditions. Ghana was one of the countries that ratified the CEDAW. Unfortunately not

much has been done to improve the general well being of the women in District, especially those

living in rural.

http://www.un.org/millennium/

111

The Beijing Platform for Action calls on governments to promote knowledge of and sponsor

research on the role of women, particularly in rural areas in food gathering and production

among others.

The United Nations Convention on Education and Development (UNCED) Agenda 21 calls on

governments to consider putting in place strategies to eliminate all constitutional, legal,

administrative as well as cultural obstacles hindering women’s participation in sustainable

development.

The Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy document, estimated that about 39 percent of Ghanaians

are poor and about 27 percent are extremely poor. Poverty among food producing farmers was

estimated at about 59 percent, this includes rural women. (NDPC, 2001) The Ghana Poverty

Reduction Strategy (GPRS) document was designed as a comprehensive policy measure to

reduce poverty and support growth over a three-year period spanning 2002-2004. It was later

revised to cover the period 2003-2005. The goal of the GPRS I&II was to ensure sustainable

equitable growth, accelerated poverty reduction and the protection of the rights of the vulnerable

and excluded within a decentralized democratic environment. The implementation of the GPRS

II ended in 2009. However, there are still high levels of poverty especially among the rural

women in the Kpandai District.

Again, the Ghana Statistical Survey in its publication ‘Poverty Trends in Ghana in the 1990s’

states that by geographical disparities, 5 out of the 10 regions in Ghana had more than 40 percent

of the population living in poverty as at 1999.The worst affected were the three northern

savannah regions. A similar situation prevails in Ghana where female-headed households are

estimated to be hard hit in terms of extreme poverty (GSS, 2000).

According to the United Nations, women constitute half of the world's population, perform

nearly two thirds of the work, receive one tenth of the world's income and own less than one

hundredth of the world's property. Gender equity is a benchmark of a healthy society. In

developing countries hit hard by structural adjustment policies such as Ghana, 2/3 of the children

who do not go to school are girls, and 2/3 of the world's illiterate people are women.

112

The centrality of gender is increasingly recognized and is articulated in many documents and

fora which confirm that gender-based inequality limits economic growth in of a country, and that

it is essential for Kpandai District to unleash the enormous productive potential of its women. It

is also increasingly recognized that poverty in District has strong gender dimensions, which need

to be addressed explicitly.

While women retain the responsibility of maintaining the household, more and more women are

moving into the paid labor market, often working for lower wages and under worse conditions

than men. This results in what is referred to as women's “double burden”. Women are the main

source from which community survival strategies and positive social alternatives emanate.

Women's active participation in community solutions to the lack of government services, results

in a "triple burden" of job, household and community work. This situation analysis does not

intend to underestimate the valuable contributions of men. Suffice to say that men and women

should be given equal opportunity to contribute to development and have equity in the benefits

of development.

It has also been realized that Violence against women has been, and continues to be, a violation

of human rights that is perpetuated by gender inequities in social, political and economic

systems. Three out of ten women in Ghana have suffered violence in one form or the order

including women from Kpandai district. Efforts to eliminate violence and promote peaceful

coexistence are therefore expedient.

Governments should adopt and implement appropriate laws that protect women's rights and

promote gender equity. The Government of Ghana enactment of the domestic violence Act 732

(2007) and the establishment of the Domestic violence and Victims Support Unit of the police

service are in this direction appropriate. Governments should respect and support autonomous

women's initiatives and organizations.

All social and economic movements (including solidarity groups) should adopt and implement

strategies that promote gender equity within their groups and ensure protection of women's rights

in their work.

113

In Kpandai District for instance, farmlands are owned by the traditional authorities/rulers and

some lands are family owned and are therefore inherited by family members.

Also, in terms of gender, men who control both the physical and natural resources whilst few

women have access to farmlands own majority of the farmlands. Children (both boys and girls)

do not own land at all.

1.7.68 Environment, Climate Change and Green Economy

The area experiences one seasonal rainfall. The period is characterised with heavy rainfall

thereby perennial floods especially area closer to both river oti and White Volta tributaries. The

vegetative cover is very thick which makes the District endowed with fertile soils enhancing its

food basket status.

1.7.69 Summary of Key Development Problems, Issues and Gaps Identified from

Performance Review Situational Analysis

2.3 District Development Priorities

The following issues were prioritized by consensus at stakeholders’ workshop under the seven

thematic areas of the GSGDA 2014-2017. The prioritized issues were arrived at using the following

criteria:

Impact of an issue on the larger proportion of the District population

The issue’s linkage effect on meeting basic human needs or rights

The multiplier effects of an issue on the local economy

The district development priorities were therefore linked to the pillars of the GSGDA 2014-2017 as

presented below:

Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability

Enhancing Competitiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector

Accelerated Agriculture Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resource Management

Oil and Gas Development

Infrastructure, Energy and Human Settlements

Human Development, Productivity and Employment

Transparent and Accountable Governance

2.4 Application of Potentials, Opportunities, Constraints and Challenges of District Priority

Issues

To enhance the formulation of appropriate strategies so as to achieve more implementation-oriented

programmes of action, the district development priorities were subjected to further analysis of

potentials, opportunities, constraints and challenges.

CHAPTER THREE

3.1 District Development Goal, Development Projections, Objectives and Strategies

3.2 District Development Goal

Having informed by the district current situation and within the framework of the GSGDA 2014-2017

(National Goal: ‘addressing the economic imbalances, re-stabilizing the economy and placing it on

the path of sustained accelerated growth and poverty reduction towards achieving the Millennium

Development Goals and middle income status’), the Development Goal for the District that will guide

the implementation of the Medium Term Development plan shall be:

To facilitate the socio-economic development of the Kpandai district through effective resource

mobilization for the provision of basic infrastructure and social amenities while ensuring spatial

integration and gender equity for sustained growth.

3.3 Development Projections for 2014-2017

The Development prospects for the planned period provide the framework for implementation

arrangements. It assesses the adequacy of the existing number of facilities/services based on the

GSGDA projections and indicators under the seven thematic areas. Projections for the plan period

(2014-2017) have been highlighted on the ensuing sections.

3.4 Population Projections

Population is an integral variable in all the planning endeavours. This is because it is both a

consequence and determinant of development. Human resources and needs vary according to the size,

composition and distribution of the population. It is for these reasons that the population projections

for the planned period have been made to facilitate the calculation of services and facilities needed for

the period. Using a growth rate of 2.1% (2010 PHC) and the 2010 base year’s population of 108,816

people the arithmetic and geometric models were applied in estimating the populations for the planned

period.

The model used was based on the following assumptions:

Population growth rate will remain constant

Net migration will be zero

Fertility will remain unchanged

The age-sex structure will remain the same over the planned period

141

The outcome of the population projections for the plan period is shown below

3.7 Projections for Potable Water

3.8 Demand for Boreholes

The demand for potable water provision (boreholes) was established using the Community

Water and Sanitation standards of 300 people per borehole. The existing number of

boreholes as at 2009 was 117 and five small town water systems with 60 pipe stands.

3.9 Health projections

3.10 Demand for Doctors

By the planning standards, the doctor/patient ratio should be 1:10,000 for quality health care

to be realized. With the non-availability of medical doctor in the district, it therefore means

that the doctor-patient ratio for the plan period (2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017) will be

0: 118,792, 0: 121,312, 0: 123,887 and 0: 126,515 respectively. There is therefore the need

for concerted efforts to attract and retain more doctors into the District. The table below

shows the projected demand for doctors in the planned period.

4.7 Indicative Financial Plan

4.8 Introduction

This section of DMTDP presents the projected resources that will be required to facilitate the

execution of the programmes and projects over the plan period and the key strategies for mobilizing

such resources. It also outlines the projected expenditures as per sectors of the district development.

4.9 Summary of DMTDP Cost

The realization of the medium term goal and objectives over the planned period (2014-2017) is

estimated at Nineteen Million and Sixty Nine Thousand Ghana Cedis (Gh¢19, 69,000.00). This

figure represents the quantification in monetary terms of all expected input of the various activities

to be pursued by the Plan. This amount is to be mobilized through the combined efforts of the

District Assembly and its Development partners including direct transfers from Central Government.

4.10 Strategies for Mobilizing Funds

The strategies for mobilizing the needed funds will include:

Intensive collection of Internally Generated Funds

Identification of prospective donors and designing development proposal to meet donor

criterion

Intensify efforts to continue to qualify for DDFs

4.11 Financial Control Mechanisms

The control mechanisms that will be employed by the District shall include limiting expenditure to

only items duly planned and budgeted for during the planning period. In addition, financial

expenditure shall be subjected to internal and external systems as spelt out in the Financial

Administrative Regulation (FAR), Financial Memoranda, and the Public Procurement Act among

others. The Assembly expenditure shall also be discussed with the public during the quarterly

expenditure accountability fora.

The financial plan has taken due cognizance of addressing the practical needs of men, women and

vulnerable social groups identified in the District Situation Analysis. The internal and the external

resources are to be channelled in addressing such needs.

CHAPTER FIVE

5.1 District Annual Action Plan

The Departments and Agencies of Kpandai District Assembly, NGOs, Private sector and the

beneficiary communities phase out the composite District programme of action into Annual

Action Plans that are to be implemented.

In view of resource constraints, the selection of projects for the implementation in the first

year of the planning period (2014-2017) is guided by the following considerations.

Continuation of on-going projects

Previous years planned projects which were not implemented

Projects serving as basis for the improvement of productive activities in the District

Projects which will help strengthen the institutional capacities

It is anticipated that implementation of the annual plans would serve as inputs for the

successful implementation of the 2014-2017 Medium Term Plan and the consequent

realization of the District goal and objectives.

CHAPTER SIX

6.1 Monitoring & Evaluation Arrangements

Monitoring will form an integral part of the plan implementation and will involve both the

process and the approach. Monitoring will start from the initial phase through to the final

evaluation. Participatory methodology will be the main tool for the monitoring process and

will involve all stakeholders at different levels and on regular basis

At the District level, the DPCU is responsible for undertaking monitoring and evaluation

activities together with the sector agencies. The DPCU is specifically responsible for the

design of monitoring and evaluation procedures as well as monitoring and evaluation plans.

Again it is required to provide an oversight overall district level monitoring and evaluation of

district development programmes.

Unlike monitoring, evaluation will be conducted in greater detail at the project level. Ex-post

facto evaluation will be carried out purposely to assess whether the resources invested have

produced or are producing the desired results in terms of impacts, and whether the benefits

are reaching the intended target beneficiaries.

The monitoring and evaluation of the plan will use the already existing structures at the

District level and will be integrated into the overall monitoring and evaluation plan of the

District.

In communicating the results with the partners and other stakeholders, the following outlines

of monitoring and evaluation report will be used.
