PREFACE

This Medium Term Development Plan for Jirapa District is the result of two main series of workshops

held at the Community and the District Levels. The first series of workshops involved organizing

Community Level Planning meeting with members of communities to come up with Community Action

Plans (CAPs). The CAPs were later validated and harmonized at the Area Council levels into Area

Council Plans. The Area Council Plans were later harmonized by the DPCU at a forum into the various

thematic areas and sectors and were forwarded to the respective sector departments for comments on the

technical feasibility of the projects in line with sector, district and national policy direction.

Agreement on the contents of the plan was preceded by deliberation and critical analysis of issues and

proposals. At the end, participants were confident that the plan clearly reflects the felt needs and

aspirations of the whole district. It represents a comprehensive framework for local resource

mobilization, enhancing self-reliance of the people for a better Ghana.

Thereafter, the draft plan was presented at a public hearing for endorsement. Participants at the public

forum included those who formulated the proposals in addition to other Assemblypersons, opinion

leaders from all the Area Councils, representatives of interest groups, faith based organizations and trade

associations in the district were taken on board in the final design of the plan.

The Jirapa District Assembly would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions made by all

community members, Area Counselors, District Level actors, including the non-governmental

organizations, RPCU, UNICEF and other development partners and mentors towards the preparation of

this plan.

We say a special thank you to members of the DPCU and the planning team who did the write up and

the NDPC for enriching the final output with their comments and suggestions.

CHAPTER ONE

PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF 2010-2013 DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN/

DISTRICT PROFILE/CURRENT SITUATION

INTRODUCTION

The Jirapa District Medium Term Development Plan (2014 – 2013) was developed after a series of

stakeholder workshops and meetings at the Community and Area Council levels. The Plan covered six

thematic areas, namely;

1. Ensuring and sustaining macroeconomic stability

2. Enhancing competitiveness in Ghana’s private sector

3. Accelerated agricultural modernization and sustainable natural resource management

4. Infrastructure and human settlement development

5. Human Resource Development Productivity and Employment

6. Transparent and accountable governance

After four years of implementation this performance review will seek to find out: the extent of

implementation of proposed programs, projects, and activities in terms of whether they were:

Fully implemented, partially implemented, ongoing or not implemented.

Achievement of set objectives and targets

Reasons for any deviation regarding implementation of set targets.

Actions taken to remedy the situation during the implementation period.

1.1 ASSUMPTIONS

The District Development Plan was drawn based on the following assumptions

1. The projects, interventions and programmes will be funded with DACF and Donor support.

2. All stakeholders mentioned in the Plan as collaborating agencies would honor their commitments.

3. The DACF would be released in the right amounts, regularly and timely.

4. Traditional revenue sources will improve through increased revenue mobilization.

1.2 SOURCES OF DATA FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE DMTDP

1 Primary data obtained from the communities in the District through, questionnaires, focus group

discussions, community fora and semi-structured interviews obtained from sector departments,

traditional authorities, religious bodies and community members.

2 Secondary Data especially from the 2006-2009 District Medium Term Development plan. Other

sources of data were the 2000 Population and Housing Census (PHC) report, sector and NGO plans

and programmes, Donor Development support plans and programmes, Monitoring reports, the

Agricultural Sector Support Project amongst others.

1, 3 DATA ANALYSIS

The data and information thus obtained were analyzed using mathematical and geographical modules to

establish trends to serve as basis (baseline) for projections. Targets, objectives were set against the

medium term National Policies, the Millennium Development Goals and Regional/District levels

peculiarities. Major findings were arrived at through discussions and consensus building by the

planning team and stakeholders during meetings, public forums and workshops.

1.4 PLANNING PROCESS

The formulation of the 2010 to 2013 DMTDP involved a lot of stakeholders from the grassroots. It

began with village/community level planning and discussion where individuals at the grassroots were

engaged to identify their community needs, issues, gaps and problems faced in the development of their

areas. Their development priorities thus teased out were sent to the DPCU who in turn held cross sector

sessions with the various sector departments for their technical comments and inputs. These were then

captured and included in the District plan by the DPCU. The District plan was then sent to the various

sub committees of the District Assembly and finally to the General Assembly for approval.

1.5 ACTIVITIES/TARGETS

To ensure that there is a total development of the district, the Development plan set targets to cover

every sector of the local economy. The sectors targeted for improvement were:

1. Health & Education

2. Water and Sanitation

3. Agriculture Modernization &sustainable natural resource management

4. Transparent and accountable governance

5. Tourism

6. Road Network and productive infrastructure

7. District Economy, Administration & Finance

REVENUE

The District Assembly has two main sources of income/revenue, internally generated revenue

and grants. The internally generated revenue includes rates, fees & fines, investment etc.

Over the years under consideration, the Assembly seems to perform creditably by exceeding

its revenue targets in 2006 and 2009 by 20% and 42% respectively. These excesses were as a

result of an increase in miscellaneous receipts (unspecified receipts).

Grant is however, made up of funds from Central Government, Donor Agencies and NGOs.

The funds from Central Government are: District Assembly Common Fund (DACF), HIPC

and Personal Emoluments,

Donor Agencies; these are European Union (EU) World Bank (CBRDP & CWSP), DWAP

etc.

Update on receipts from funding sources

The District has a number of sources of revenue for its development projects. Paramount

among them are:

1. The District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF)

2. Internally generated revenue (IGF)

3. District Development Fund (DDF)

4. Government of Ghana (GOG) grants

5. Donor Grants

6. HIPC Funds

The table below shows the amount of funds received from the above sources towards the

implementation of development projects in the District from 2010 to 2013.

The Internally Generated Funds has been low over the years. However, in 2013, steps were

taken to motivate revenue collectors and also stringent measures against defaulters. Capacity

building training programmes were also organized for unit committee members, Assembly

members and revenue collectors, all in the effort to improving revenue mobilization.

Release of DACF is often characterized by delays and with many unexpected deductions,

which delays the timely execution of projects. Also, the flow of donor funds is unpredictable

which affects the smooth implementation of the 2010-2013 DMTDP.

Update on disbursement

The funds received from various sources as mentioned above in the District were spent mainly

on services, investment and administration. The table below indicates the expenditure pattern

from 2010 to 2013

Funds received were woefully inadequate to meet the planned expenditure of the District.

Hence, many planned expenditures had to be cut down to be able to operate with the limited

funds.

Expenditure of the District is within the approved budget. However, there are few cases where

expenditure is not within the budget especially deductions at source.

FINANCIAL CONTROL

The District Assembly exercises control over the funds through the internal control and

auditing system using the financial administration decree, regulations and guidelines on the

disbursement of the DACF and other sources of funding.

LESSONS LEARNT AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT.

The 2010- 2013 DMTDP was drawn based on certain assumptions:

1. There will be adequate and timely release of DACF which is the main source of funding

for the District Assembly.

2. Funding and other logistical support from Donors for collaboration will be fulfilled.

3. Traditional sources of revenue such as rates, fees and fines, licenses, rents, investment and

other miscellanies sources will increase as the years rolled by.

Unfortunately however, a careful review of the 2010-2013 showed that some Programmes,

projects, activities and objectives contained in the plan could not be carried out due to the

following reasons;

Inadequate revenue mobilization

Inadequate and untimely release of DACF.

Inadequate and unpredictable donor funds which in some cases come with strings

attached.

Limited fiscal decentralization from the national, regional and district levels.

Limited capacity of sector departments and sub-district structures to plan and

implement development programmes due to lack of qualified personnel and logistics.

IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

These lessons learnt from the review have certain implications for development and will go a

long way to influence the next Medium Term Development Plan (2014-2017 DMTDP). For

instance, it can be seen that relying solely on the DACF and Donor Funding to implement

projects and programmes is not helping the District Assembly.

The DA will have to draw programmes and projects that it can adequately cater for in view of

the unreliable nature of the DACF and Donor Funding. DA will also have to strengthen its

IGF System, recruit qualified revenue collectors, check leakages in the system and also

explore new sources of revenue.

It is time to move onto a new paradigm of investment planning for the district since the

traditional development plans are highly conditioned on external funding reliability for their

realization. This has proven to be very difficult to guarantee. Once an investment plan is

accepted and taken up for implementation, you can be sure of results in the time limits set in

the plan.

DISTRICT PROFILE

Location and Size

The Jirapa District is one of the eleven (11) districts in Upper West Region. The District was

established by LI 1902 and was carved out of the then Jirapa-Lambussie District in 2007 as

part of Ghana’s decentralization process. The District is located in the North Western corner

of the Upper West Region of Ghana and one of eleven districts in the region. It lies

approximately between latitudes 10.250 and 11.000 North and longitudes 20.250 and 20.400

West with a territorial size of 1,188.6 square kilometers representing 6.4 percent of the

regional landmass.

It shares borders with the following districts; Nadowli to the south, Lambussie to the North,

Lawra to the west and Sissala West to the East. The district capital, Jirapa, is 62 km away

from Wa, the Regional capital. The district’s strategic location within the region/country and

its ready access to neighbouring Burkina Faso is a great potential for trade promotion and

joint development especially on Sheanuts/butter, mangoes etc to enhance the growth and

development of the district.

Topography and Drainage

The district is not well drained as no major rivers are found except the intermittent tributaries

of the Black Volta River. These are Kaabaa around Ullo, Bakpong near Baazu, Dazugri in

Jirapa and Telenbe at Tizza.

In the long dry season, these tributaries dry up leaving the district with no surface water

catchment for domestic and agricultural purposes. The valleys of these tributaries are suitable

for the development of small-scale irrigation dams and dugouts for dry season gardening,

fishing and watering of animals, especially cattle. There are however, small-scale dams and

dug-outs scattered throughout the district. Konzokala, Tizza, Jirapa and Ullo are some of the

places where one can find dams and dug-outs.

Topographically, the landscape of the district is generally flat and low-lying with average

height of 300 meters above sea level. There are few plateau surfaces ranging between 1,000-

1,150 feet. These are found in Yagha and Jirapa.

Geology and Soil

The soil of the district is mainly sandy loam with underlying hard iron pans. There are

however narrow strips of alluvial soils along the numerous dry valleys of the tributaries of the

Black Volta River suitable for rice farming. It is important to remark that the sandy loam is

susceptible to severe sheet and gully erosion caused by surface run-off during the peak of the

wet season. The widespread erosion adversely affects not only the fertility of the soil but also

contributes in silting the few dams in the district. Generally, however, the sandy loam is very

fertile and enhances large scale cultivation of groundnuts which the district is a net exporter.

There are large tracks of fertile soils in Somboro, Tuggo, Han and Mwankuri areas for large

scale agricultural production.

Geological survey carried out by a mining company in 1998 holds that the rocks contain gold

deposits. Azumah Resources Ltd, an Australian based mining company is currently

conducting exploration with the hope of developing a mine at Yagha.

Climate and Vegetation

The district is located in the tropical continental climate regime with mean annual temperature

ranging between 28° C to 31° C which offers the opportunity for the development of solar

energy. During the months of June-October the district experience a single rainy season

induced by the moist monsoon winds with an intensity of 1,000-1,100mm per annum and

humidity ranging between 70-90 percent but falling to 20 percent in the dry season.

The distribution of rain within the season is erratic which is difficult to predict for any

cropping year as long spells of drought often punctuate the wet season, leading to partial or

total crop failures. When this happens, it causes severe household food shortages and

therefore acute malnutrition among children and women.

The vegetation of the district is generally the Guinea Savanna woodland with light

undergrowth and scattered medium sized trees. The major trees which are also economic ones

are shea, dawadawa, baoba and neem.

Human activities such as bush burning, tree felling for fuel wood and charcoal burning

improper farming practices and the excavation of vast areas for sand and gravel all contribute

immensely to destruction of the natural vegetation and therefore the environment.

Condition of Natural Environment

The savanna vegetation consisting of short trees and grasses constitute the critical element of

the natural environment in the district. Over the years, however, over reliance on fuel wood

for cooking and pito brewing on the one hand, annual bush fires, construction and

inappropriate farming practices on the other constitute the major activities which degrade the

environment. The activities of a large number of contractors who win sand, gravel and stones

for various constructional projects also cause considerable degradation to the district’s

environment.

Farming upstream of dams and dug-outs has led to the silting of most of these water bodies.

There is therefore the need to desilt these water bodies in order to make water available for

dry season farming and other domestic purposes.

Built Environment

There is a complete absence of development control in the district, especially the district

capital, Jirapa which has led to disorganised development in the district. The absence of

planning schemes in the district has resulted …... Unfortunately the Town and Country-

planning Department does not have the requisite capacity to handle issues of land use.

Poor sanitation and personal hygiene practices such as indiscriminate defecation are major

factors that impact negatively on the environment. Sensitization of the people to use the few

sanitation facilities and the enforcement of environmental bye laws need to be reinforced

alongside with the provision of household latrines and other sanitation facilities.

The erection of store structures including kiosks and metal structures along the streets of the

major towns have greatly blighted the beauty of the district.

Population Size and Growth Rates

The 2010 National Population and Housing census results put the district total population at

88,402 distributed across all ages and different sexes. The total population consists of 53.0

percent females and 47.0 percent for males.

Using the growth rate of 1.9%, the projected population for 2013 is ----, comprises -----males

and ------ females representing ----- and 51.50% respectively and the sex ratio is ------.

With a land size of 1,188.6 Km2, the District’s population density stands at 74.4 persons/km2.

The implication is that the pressure on land and other existing socio-economic facilities is

going to be high.

The dominance of females over males is a reflection of a nationwide trend where the

estimated ratio is 1:1.03. The need to target women in any development programme in the

district can therefore not be over-emphasized

Religious Composition

According to the 2010 Population and Housing Report, there are three (3) main religious

groups in the District namely; Christianity (65.9%); Islam (10.4%) and Traditional (18.8%).

Migration

Out-migration is prevalent in the district. Majority of those who migrate go to the Southern

part of Ghana for employment in sectors other than agriculture and in pursuance of higher

education. The trend now is that more of females migrate to the south of Ghana to serve as

“kayayo” or “tavama”

The implication of this trend of migration is the reduction in the labour force of the district

and hence low productivity. Besides, those who return sometimes come with illnesses such as

guinea worm, HIV/AIDS and other STDS, which negatively affect productivity.

Social and cultural structure

The district is made up of one main indigenous ethnic group namely the Dagaaba, which

constitutes the Jirapa paramouncies. There are however pockets of other ethnic groups such

as Sissalas, Moshi, Wangara, Fulani and other tribes from the southern part of Ghana. There

has been a long-standing peaceful ethnic and religious co-existence in the district, which has

the potential of promoting socio-cultural development in the district.

The main festivals of the Jirapa Traditional area are: the Bong-ngo and Bogre festivals. The

Bong-ngo festival is developmental oriented which brings the youth of the traditional areas

together each year to deliberate on the development of the area. The Bogre festival on the

other hand, is a religious festival, which is shrouded in secrecy. It is an annual festival, which

falls immediately after the harvest of crops.

Some of the negative practices include female elopement, scarification, female genital

mutilation, widowhood inheritance. These have the tendency to spread STDs.

Staking of corpse for days is another negative practice. This can cause outbreak of diseases

depending on the sickness through which the person dies. Even though the district is

heterogeneous in terms of ethnicity, there is relative peace in the District.

District Economy

The district’s economy is characterized by agricultural activities, services, agro-processing

and other small scale manufacturing activities.

Agriculture

Agriculture remains the main economic activity in the district. 67.1 percent of the people in

the district are engaged in agriculture, which is largely subsistence in nature. Very few

farmers are engaged in large-scale production of cereals and legumes in Han and Mwankuri

areas. Cash crops cultivated in the district are shea nuts, cotton, groundnuts and cashew.

Crop Production and Food Balance

However, productivity of crops is low due to a combination of factors such as inadequate

rainfall, low fertility, poor cultural practices and low technology application. For example

rainfall distribution and amount in the district are concentrated in within the second and third

quarters of the year. Since the district is dependent on rainfall agriculture, the implication of

such rainfall pattern is low crop productivity and inability to produce all year round, hence

there is a high risk of food insecurity. Low crop productivity is one of the major causes of

poverty in the District.

This situation calls for the need to enhance the provision of water for dry season gardening

and improved agricultural technologies. It is therefore strongly recommended that irrigated

agriculture should be increased substantially in all parts of Jirapa District; by taking advantage

of the perennial water of Black Volta, developing irrigation water bodies from its feeder

tributaries and from the available underground water; as well as rain water harvesting.

The table below presents the average yields for each crop in 2013

CROPS MAIZE RICE MILLET SORGHUM COWPEA G’NUT

2013 7,512 607 3,147 6,021 6,999 16,023

Livestock Development

The rearing of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and poultry are mainly produced as a supplement to

crop farming. A few farmers however engage in large-scale livestock production in the Han

and Ping areas.

LIVESTOCK CATTLE SHEEP GOATS PIGS POULTRY DONKEYS

2013 11,490 11,173 27,568 14,012 25,710 255

Farming Systems

Most of the farmers in the district still rely on the use of the hoe and cutlass in cultivating the

land. However, few farmers use tractor services and animal traction. The over dependence

of farmers on rain-fed agriculture adversely affect crop yield due to the erratic nature of the

rains. This calls for the need for alternative methods of farming such as irrigation to support

crop production during the dry seasons.

Some of the farming systems in the district include mixed farming, crop rotation and bush

fallowing. The land tenure system, the increasing pressure on land for farming and other

activities are gradually limiting the system of farming.

Farmer to Technical Officer Ratio

The minimum technical officer farmer ratio is 1:1,500. However, in the Jirapa District, the

technical officer farmer ratio was 1:3,000 in 2013. This has serious implication for farmer

productivity

Tourism

Tourism is largely underdeveloped sector in the District. Local and Foreign investors have

not been sufficiently motivated to invest in hotels, restaurants and other hospitality outlets.

This is largely due to anticipated low returns on investments as a result of perceived low

patronage. But the District has the advantage of a central location, easy accessibility, and a

variety of tourist attractions evenly spread throughout the District. Some of these attractions

are:

Wulling Rock Pedestals – These are mushroom shaped rocks with some having human

faces. The Ghana Tourist Board has already started a site protection project there in

collaboration with the District Assembly.

Bayong’s footprint at Ullo – The legendary Bayong of Dantie left his footprint on a

Baobab tree at a place now called Bayongyir during the Babatu-Samori wars.

The donkey of another great leader, Dootoraa of Gbare left footprints on a rock surface

in the Village not far from Jirapa.

The Annual Dawadawa harvest festival of the Chiefs and people of the Jirapa

Traditional area called Bong-Ngo. It is held in April to lift the ban on the harvest of

the fruit and to mark the beginning of the farming season.

The stone built Catholic Church and Mission house is the oldest in the Upper West

Region. The arrival of these missionaries marked the beginning of formal education

and Christian morality in the region.

Python Sanctuary – This is located at Jefiri close to Jirapa. These reptiles can be seen

during the intense heat season around February – April when they come out of their

rock caves.

Jirapa Naa’s Palace – This is a local storey building situated in Jirapa which was built

about 200 years ago.

Financial Services

There are four main financial institutions in the district namely the Sonzele Rural Bank Ltd.

with an agency in Han, Pro Credit, First National Bank and the St. Joseph’s Credit Union also

situated in Jirapa. These four financial institutions play a very important economic role by

granting credit facilities to its customers, small-scale business operators and farmers, which

has impacted positively in the lives of the people in the district. The introduction of the Mobil

Money Transfer has also impacted positively on business transactions as people transact

businesses at the comfort of their homes.

Road Network

Good road infrastructure is one of the key needs for the development of any district, region or

country. The nature of the road network can affect the quality of life and progress of the

people and thereby influence their overall human development. Poor road conditions have the

tendency to cut off population from the main marketing, health and educational centers

whenever there is heavy rainfall.

ROADS AND HIGH WAYS 2013

Kilometres of Engineered Feeder Roads 210km

Kilometres of Un-engineered Feeder Roads 63km

Kilometres of Trunk Roads 59km

Kilometres of Tarred Roads 46km

Surface Accessibility

The accessibility index in the district is very high as a result of improvements in the road

sector since 1997. But a lot more still needs to be done. Some of the roads that have been

rehabilitated are beginning to deteriorate and need rehabilitation again. Besides, a total of

368km road network still needs to be constructed to improve accessibility in the district.

Below is a Map showing the road network in the District

Energy

The Jirapa District has recognized that extension of electricity to many communities would

greatly improve the quality of life of the people; as the facility is being used for other

industrial works such as carpentry workshops, blacksmithing, welding, vulcanizing, fitting

shops and agro processing (shea butter and groundnut extraction). This helps to generate some

employment as well. ------- communities have been connected to the national grid. There is

also a plan to extend the national grid to more communities in the district in the near future.

The district hopes that this would help create businesses thereby reducing the migration of the

youth to the south in search of non-existing jobs.

Wood fuel is the source of energy for cooking for a large proportion of households in the

country, region and in the Jirapa District than any other source. The percentage (82.0%) of

households in the district which used wood fuel for cooking was higher than the regional

percentage. Apart from wood, charcoal and gas were two other sources of fuel that were used

by large proportions of households.

The over concentration on wood fuel in the district has, therefore, resulted in the wanton

cutting of trees for domestic fuel. Economic trees such as Shea trees are mostly affected in

this venture. This has the potential of further reducing the already low incomes of the people,

especially women thereby exacerbating the poverty situation in the area.

LITERACY AND EDUCATION

Literacy

The ability to read and write is critical for access and utilization of information to enhance

socio-economic development. According to the 2010 PHS more than a half of the population

(55.1%) in the Jirapa District is non literates. This figure, though lower than the regional non-

literate population of 59.5 percent, is still high when compared with the national average of

25.9 percent. The data further indicate that there was higher literacy (61%) among males than

females (39%) in the district.

Total 32,808, male 12,776, female 20,032

Education

Education is an important aspect of societal development. It is the process of acquiring

knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to fully develop individual capacities for societal well-

being. There is a relationship between education, human resource development and economic

growth (United Nations Development Programme, 2011).

To ensure effective monitoring and supervision, the Jirapa District is sub-divided into eight

(8) circuits namely: Jirapa, Han, Gbare, Konzokala, Tizza, Ullo, Sigri and Sabuli.

Number of Schools

There has been an increase in the district between 2010 and 2013. At the Kindergarten level,

the number of schools increased slightly from 55 in 2010/2011 to 58 2012/2013. This trend

applied to the other levels, except at the SHS and Vocational levels, as shown in the table

The possible cause for the increase in the enrolment, especially at the basic level could be due

to the following interventions:

Educational Performance (BECE)

Quality education is partially measured by the performance rate of students and that of the

transition rate. In the 2012/2013 academic year, 31% of candidates (students) who wrote the

BECE examination passed, falling from the 2011/2012 performance, which was 52.32%. This

implies that 69% of the students who completed JHS in the district in 2012/2013 were not

qualified to enter the next stage of education (Senior High School) and therefore stand the risk

of socio-economic vices. This has negative effects on the human resource development of the

district and nation at large.

Health Infrastructure

The district has sixteen (16) health facilities, seven (7) health centers, eight (8) CHPS

compounds and one district hospital. Out of the sixteen facilities, three health centers and the

hospital are mission facilities.

WATER AND SANITATION

Main Source of Water for Drinking and for other Domestic Use

Bore hole, pump and tube well served as the main source of drinking water for many more

households than any other source of water in the country, region and in the Jirapa District. In

the district 75.1 percent of all households depended on borehole, pump and tube well as their

main source of drinking water. The sources of water available to households for other

domestic uses were not different from those used for drinking and their distribution by

households follows a similar pattern as the sources of drinking water. Again, a higher number

of households (73.0%) in the in Jirapa District used borehole, pump and tube well than any

source.

Sanitation

The sanitation condition of the district is one of the poorest in the regions as well as in the

country. According to 2010 PHC, about 81.0 percent of all households in the district had no

toilet facilities, compared to 72.0 percent for the region and about 19.0 percent for the

country. Public toilet (WC, KVIP, Pit, and Pan) was the most predominantly used toilet

facility at all levels. A little more than 10.0 percent of all households in the district use public

toilet and for the region it was about 12.0 percent of households. Bucket or pan and other

types of toilet facilities not specified were the facilities were the least in terms of the number

of households that used them.

Method of Waste Disposal

Waste management is adhoc in nature, facilitated at the District level by a public private

partnership arrangement which is ineffective. According to the 2010 PHC, Solid and liquid

waste are disposed of through different methods by different households such as

indiscriminate dumping and dumping into open space. This has implication for environmental

pollution. To attain good sanitation however, it is important to get households to adopt proper

ways of disposing of the waste they generate on daily basis. In the district, many more

households (44.8%) disposed of their solid waste through indiscriminate dumping than they

disposed of through any other means. A higher percentage (49.1) of households in rural

localities of the district adopted this method of solid waste disposal than the percentage of

households in urban localities which was 28.8 percent. Another common method of solid

waste disposal in the district was through public dump (open space) which was used by 34.5

percent of households in the district.

Relatively small percentages of households in the district adopted any of the proper methods

of waste disposal such as collection (3.5), burning (6.4), burying (3.6) and dumping into

public containers (6.4).The situation is not very different for the region and the country in

general. For instance, in the Upper West region and the country as a whole, the commonest

method of waste disposal among households was through open space public dump.

Most households in the country, the region and in the Jirapa district disposed of liquid waste

through three main methods, namely; throwing onto the street or outside, into a gutter, and

onto the compound. In the district, a large percentage (62.9) of all households disposed of

liquid waste by throwing it onto the street or outside. Another 24.4 percent of households

throw their liquid waste onto the compound.

Another phenomenon of unregulated burial grounds or cemeteries is an emerging challenge

that needs to be dealt with along with sanitation. Lack of designated grounds for community

cemeteries also gives room for families to bury their dead loved ones on preferred parts of

community lands, which poses great challenge to borehole site selection for the provision of

potable water in the region. These practices have serious consequences for ground and

surface water pollution, health and poverty.

GOOD GOVERNANCE

Administrative Set-Up

The administrative set-up of the District Assembly consists of a secretariat headed by the

District Chief Executive who is the political head. The District Co-ordinating Director is the

administrative head and principal advisor to the District Chief Executive. The Assembly is

made up of 55 members comprising 37 elected members, 16 government appointees, one MP

and the DCE who are non-voting members. Out of the 55 members only 6 are females.

The substructures under the assembly are one Town Council at Jirapa and seven Area

Councils at Tuggo, Tizza, Gbare, Sabuli, Han, Ullo, and Duori. There are also37 unit

committees across the District to ensure grass root participation in decision making.

Also in the administrative set-up are subordinate technical staffs who are schedule officers

reporting to the District Chief Executive through the District Co-ord. Director. There are also

supporting staff in the clerical, stores, secretarial, labourers and revenue collectors who report

to the appropriate schedule officers.

The staff of the Decentralized Departments report to the District Assembly secretariat whiles

NGOs and Para statal agencies maintain a collaborative and co-operative relationship with

the District Assembly. This is based on consultation, and integration of their programmes

and projects into the mainstream activities of the District Assembly.

There are also statutory agencies like CHRAJ, NCCE, CNC, Ghana Police Service and the

National Electoral Commission represented in the District.

Some vital departments likes Parks and Gardens, Rural Housing and Meteorological Services

are however yet to be stationed in the District. The District now has a magistrate court which

will facilitate the administration of justice and enhance good governance.

Traditional Authorities

The Jirapa District has one Paramountcy namely, Jirapa. It is headed by Paramount Chiefs

who have their Divisional and Sub Chiefs under them. The traditional authorities are the

embodiment of the customs, traditions and culture of the people. They play very important

role in the development of the District as the people hold them in high esteem. They serve as

a link between the District Assembly and the people at the grass root. They in fact, are

partners in development.

Judiciary and Security

There is a Police Station in Jirapa. The District also has one magistrate court, which try both

civil and criminal cases. The District has been very peaceful.

Revenue

The District Assembly has two main sources of income/revenue, internally generated revenue

and grants. The internally generated revenue includes rates, fees & fines, investment etc.

Over the years under consideration, the Assembly seems to perform creditably as IGF

increased from 36,579.10 in 2010 to 117,367.20 in 2013.

Financial Control

The District Assembly exercises control over the funds through the internal control and

auditing system using the financial administration decree, regulations and guidelines on the

disbursement of the DACF and other sources of funds.

Private Sector Initiatives

The Assembly has applied itself to the laudable government policy of private sector growth

and the Agenda for its development. The major thrust is the support for income generating

activities of groups and individuals mainly through the Poverty alleviation fund and NGO

and donor sponsored projects. The latter includes Action Aid sponsored training of women

in batik tie and dye and confectionary making and supply of farm implements and agro-

processors to communities, groups and individuals and constructions of dams under the VIP

Project.

Vulnerability Analysis

Based on participatory assessment the vulnerable and excluded are victims of abuses, persons

with disabilities, PLWHAS, people in disaster prone areas, children in difficult circumstance,

semi-subsistence food crop farmers and other allied occupations. The Jirapa District

Assembly with assistance from NGOs such as Action Aid International (Gh) is making

efforts in caring for the vulnerable and excluded. There is a physiotherapy center at the St.

Joseph hospital where the disabled are provided physiotherapy and medical treatment. Mass

education programmes in the area of literacy exist in many communities in the district. Thus

it provides illiterates the opportunity to function effectively in life.

The District also carries out advocacy campaigns against negative cultural practices that

adversely affect women and children. These include elopement, betrothal, Female Genital

Mutilation, widowhood rites among others. Special attention is also paid to the education of

the girl-child as a means of eradicating illiteracy among the women folk.

With the establishment of the Domestic Violence Victims Support Unit (DVVSU) formerly

WAJU in the district, incidence of domestic violence are in the decrease. However, the

district is still experiencing rising cases of elopement, abduction, teenage pregnancy, school

dropouts, child abuses and child trafficking. There are also inadequate credit facilities to the

vulnerable and the excluded, high rate of poverty among women, low income for food crop

farmers and low entrepreneurial skills among others.

One major problem facing the district in its efforts to overcome these problems is inadequate

funding due to equally important competing demands from other sectors. The District

therefore needs to strengthen institutions that deal with the vulnerable and the excluded and

also institute regular budgetary allocation to promote gender mainstreaming.

Disability

According to the 20101 PHC, out of a total of 88,402 in the district, 3,390 persons

(representing 3.8%) are affected by at least one form of disability or the other. Out of the total

population with disability, females constituted a majority of 52.5 percent, compared to males

who constituted 47.5 percent

CHAPTER TWO

DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES

This chapter presents the prioritized development issues/problems identified in chapter one.

These prioritized issues have been grouped under the pillars of the National Medium Term

Development Policy Framework (NMTDPF) document.

The focus of the NMTDPF is to address the economic imbalances, re-stabilizing the

economy, placing it on a path of sustained accelerated growth and poverty reduction towards

the millennium development goals and middle income status within a measurable planning

period. In line with the priority areas of the MTDPF, the main development issues of the

Jirapa District have been prioritized and presented under six thematic areas. These are shown

in the table I.

CHAPTER SIX

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

INTRODUCTION

Monitoring and Evaluation are critical to the successful implementation of any development

plan, programme or project.

The Monitoring and Evaluation of the DMTDP from 2014-2017 cannot therefore be over

emphasized. This is expected to be done in a participatory manner and consistent with the

NDPC guidelines on Monitoring and Evaluation.

Monitoring and evaluation of activities in the District would be carried out at three stages or

levels. These include the regional, District and community levels. This is to ensure free flow

of information among all stakeholders involved in the implementation processes and the

ultimate achievement of expected results.

Regional Level Monitoring

The regional level monitoring will be undertaken by the RPCU. This will be in the form of a

support service aimed at providing technical expertise during implementation. This is geared

towards improving the operations of the DA.

District Level Monitoring

At the District level, the District Planning and coordinating unit (DPCU) in collaboration

with District sector agencies are responsible for monitoring as soon as project implementation

starts. The DPCU is however responsible for the preparation of monitoring and evaluation

procedures and plan. It is required that the DPCU overseas the monitoring and evaluation of

District development projects and policies. Actual project monitoring and evaluation are

however the responsibility of the sectors/

Community Level Monitoring

Beneficiary communities should be part of the monitoring process to ensure that their needs

and aspirations are met. The unit committees should be directly involved in monitoring of

projects at the community level. Monitoring findings from communities should reach the DA

through the Area Council secretariat for the necessary action to be taken. It is however

important that the capacity of the sub District structures be built to effectively carry out the

above assignment.

OBJECTIVES FOR MONITORING & EVALUATION

DATA COLLECTION AND COLLATION

Data for Monitory and Evaluation of the DMTDP shall be both quantitative and qualitative.

The primary data shall be collected directly from the field by the DPCU/units, community

members, Assembly Members and Town/Area Councilors. Secondary data shall also be

collected through review of previous reports and others relevant documents in order to

support the primary data.

DATA ANALYSIS AND USE OF THE RESULTS

Data analysis shall be done through presentations and reports by the DPCU/Units at

stakeholder fora.

REPORTING The DPCU shall prepare a monitoring report after each monitoring for discussion first, at the

Sub-Committee level and then at the General Assembly. However, there would be mid-year

and annual progress reports which shall be discussed at a forum of stakeholder and presented

to the General Assembly.

DISSEMINATION OF THE REPORTS

It is not often possible to get all stakeholders to a forum to discuss reports. Therefore, to

reach out to a greater percentage of the stakeholders, there would be a Public Hearing on the

reports and this could be carried by the media. These Public Hearing would be held at the

following levels:

Unit Committee level

Town/Area Council level

District Assembly level

EVALUATION

The participation M&E approach would be adopted in the evaluation of the DMTDP. This

would enable both right bearers and duty bearer to access the impact of interventions and

challenges affecting the effective implementation of the interventions.

In view of the above, the District Assembly will use participatory methods to collect data for

the evaluation of the DMTDP.

Some of the M&E techniques that will be adopted are as shown below:

i. Citizen Report Cards

ii. Community Score Cards

iii. Focus Group discussing etc

CHAPTER SEVEN

DISTRICT COMMUNICATION STRATEGY/PLAN

INTRODUCTION

Communication is critical to the promotion of transparency and accountability. It also

promotes team spirit and team work since every actor in the particular activity is aware of

what is going on.

In view of the above, the Jirapa District Assembly as part of the DMTDP 2014-2017 has

developed a communication strategy in order to enable all responsible agencies and persons

are abreast with the contents of the DMTDP and the role they are expected to play. This

would be done by disseminating the DMTDP throughout the district.

DISSEMINATION OF DMTDP

The DMTDP would be disseminated through Public Hearing and Fora where a presentation

would be done on the DMTDP for all stakeholders to know their roles and responsibilities in

the implementation of the Plan. Hence the programmes, projects and activities captured in the

Plan would be presented.

Moreover, there would be preparation of Annual Progress Report during Performance

Review Meetings which would be discussed at Public Hearings and Stakeholders Meetings to

identify the challenges for redress whiles enhancing the achievements made over the period.

In addition, there would be engagement meetings between right bearers and duty bearers

where there would be an interaction and feedback between right holders and duty bearers.

The feedback from such engagements would be discussed at the Sub-Committee level and the

General Assembly for possible redress of the issues raised by right bearers and duty bearers.

There would also be Town Hall Meetings at the Sub-district level to create a platform for the

people to also ask questions about government policies especially relating to the MTDP and

the MTPF for 2014-2017.
