II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The plan preparation started with the holding of a district performance review workshop with representation from all the major departments and agencies as well as NGOs. This witnessed the participation of GES, GHS, Community Development & Social Welfare, Water and Sanitation, Agric, NCCE, NHIS, Central Administration, Environmental Health, Works Department, KATCHITO Community Development Center and a host of other. All of these made presentations on their interventions, achievements and challenges as well as projects on what they expect to carry out in the next plan period. That actually set the tone for the next programming after other key steps were carried out. The District Plan Preparation Team was then formed, inaugurated and given orientation on what to do. The opportunity was also taken to prepare a work plan on how to proceed with the plan preparation. Then using the outcome of the review session, the team kick started the updating of the District profile. The current situation of the District was analysed and gaps identified were flagged and filled after the community perspective was carried out. The next step in the process carried out was the preparation for community data gathering session. The instrument and expected community profiling information were indentified and included in the instrument. This paved the way for short training workshop on the data gathering and a pretesting session in one of the nearby communities. The team’s next action was to go out to the communities in small sub-teams of tree per area Council. In all 80 communities were covered. Each Area Council had 16 communities selected based on a criteria agreed on by District stakeholders and USAID. The priorities of the communities were identified with basic issues of sanitation, nutrition and poverty reduction livelihoods interventions as well as water and sanitation reigning high. The issues based on the GSGDA document were then collated and harmonized with the NMDPF thematic areas and further prioritized after POCC analysis. The key issues to be addressed were then confirmed for the purpose of programming. The District development Goal and objectives as well as the strategies were formulated or adopted from the policy matrix. This then allowed for the broad programmes of action to be identified. After this step, the team went ahead to design the annual action plan, and the formulation of the communication strategy and monitoring and evaluation plan. In all these sessions, a validation session after the key development issues were harmonized was organized for those major stakeholders to confirm the main issues to be addressed. A final public hearing session is scheduled to outdoor this plan to the public before the plan could be finalized.

This plan is directed at basically addressing the issues of revenue generation necessary to keep the District running. Issues of addressing falling standards of education, improving basic health service delivery, ensuring food security and improving incomes among the farmer population and safeguarding the livelihoods in the face of climate change has found expression. The plan is also a continuity of the efforts made under the GSGDA I spanning 2010 – 2013. Gains made under the GSGDA will be enhanced and taken further under the NMDPF plan that has just been drafted. The estimated cost of the implementation of this plan is GHC89,508,600.00 to be drawn from sources including the IGF, DACF, DDF, GETFUND, USAID, GoG sources, NGOs and other development partners. The outcome of the plan is expected to improve education performance at the basic and second cycle levels, improve basic health delivery, especially reduction in maternal and child morbidity and mortality. More safe water supply and sanitation is expected to improve while incomes and reduction of extreme poverty is enhanced. The plan expects to also improve rural access for increased movement of goods and services, supply of energy to connect more rural communities to improve rural economy and social live while checking rural urban migration. Finally, security, gender and governance in general is expected to reach a much higher level of achievement.

1.0 CHAPTER 1: DISTRICT PROFILE
1.1 LOCATION AND SIZE
Central Gonja District is located to the South Western part of Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana.
It lies on longitude 1˚5’W and 2˚ 58’W and latitude 8˚32’N and 10˚2’N. The District was carved out of the
West Gonja District in 2004. It shares boundaries in the South with Kintampo Municipal in Brong Ahafo
Region, West Gonja District in the West, Tamale metro in the North, Tolon District to the North East and
East Gonja District in the East.
The District covers 7,555km2 which represent 11% (Source: 2010PHC) of the total land area of the
Region. The District is strategically linked to the Southern sector as the gate way to the two Northern
Regions (Upper East and Northern). Buipe is the only town in the region with port facilities to facilitate
water transport. It is also a promising industrial hub of the region currently housing some sheanuts
processing and cement factories.
1.2 PHYSICAL AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Relief and Drainage
The Topography is generally undulating with altitude of between 150-200meters above sea level. The
district is drained by two major rivers in Ghana. These are the White and the Black Voltas. The two meet
around Tuluwe and Mpaha area specifically at Kikali (No. 4). The point of confluence of the Black and
White Volta Rivers at Kikali is a potential site for tourist attraction. Both the Black and White Volta
Rivers which drain the district, have good potential for large -scale irrigation schemes along their valleys.
They also provide good waterways for water transport from Buipe and Yapei respectively to Akosombo
via the Volta Lake in Yeji. There is an inland harbour at Buipe on the Black Volta. These rivers are good
potential sources of fresh water fishing and fish farming in the District.
Climatic Characteristics
The District experiences extreme temperatures especially in the dry season. The daily and annual range
is wide. The coldest nights in the year are experienced in the three months of December, January and
February. During these months, the air becomes dry and the atmosphere becomes hazy and one cannot
see clearly due to the fine dust in the air. The mean monthly temperature is 27˚C. Humidity is very low
during this dry season causing dry skin and cracked lips to human beings. This period is known as
Harmattan.
The rainy season begins around May and end in October. The rainfall is seasonal and is characterized by
single maxima. The mean annual rainfall is about 1144mm. The rainfall pattern is erratic, beginning in
late April and ending in late October. July and August generally record the heaviest rainfall and also the
greatest number of rainy days. The rainfall is characterized by thunder storms or flash showers. Floods
9
and erosion are common due to the torrential nature of rains. The irregular distribution and short
duration of the rainfall are a great limitation to crops and vegetative growth. Only single crop
production is possible due to the rainfall regime.
Soil and Vegetation
The district is situated in an old geological area. The rocks are mainly Voltaian formation with isolated
Cambrian rocks which contain valuable minerals such as gold and diamond. Limestone occurs between
the lower and middle Voltaian formation around Buipe –the capital of the District. Generally, the soils in
the District are fertile for Agriculture purpose. Several crops including maize, yam, Millet, sorghum,
groundnuts rice etc can be grown in these soils.
The natural vegetation is guinea savannah. But the richness is determined (Dissected) by the soil types.
The large mass of vegetation cover is dissected by human activities such as shifting cultivation, slash and
burn method of land preparation for farming and housing. The major tree species are sheanut,
dawadawa, baobab, acacia, nim and little ebony. These tree are scattered except in most valleys where
isolated wood –land or gallery forest are found. Most trees are deciduous shedding their leaves during
the dry season in order to conserve water.
Grass grows in tussocks and may reach 2.7m during the rainy season. This indicates that the area is
suitable for crops such as millet, sorghum, maize and groundnuts.
Yam is also cultivated in the District especially around Mpaha Area. The original vegetation in major
settlements such as Buipe, Yapei, Mpaha and Kusawgu has been destroyed by human activities. Bush
fires, charcoal burning and fetching of firewood have reached alarming proportions. These need to be
checked to avoid environmental problems in future. The only forest reserve the District is endowed with
is the Yakumbo Forest Reserve. This forest is located at Western part of District capital. It has a land
area of about 1200 hectares.
Winds
Two dominant winds influence the climate of the Central Gonja District. The rain bearing wind which
bring rain to the district from May to October are the South-West winds from the Atlantic ocean and
from November to February, the Hamattan period brings to the District dry winds from the Sahara
desert. These winds carry a thick hazy dust. The wind borne dust is often thick enough to obscure the
sun and affect visibility. A lot of irritation and discomfort is experienced at this time of the year.
1.3 CULTURE
Ethnicity and Religion
There are about 20 ethnic groups in the district. The major groups, however, in order of magnitude are
Gonja, Dagomba, Hanga, Mamprusi and Dagarbas. Others include Ewes, Akans and Chekosi, Konkombas
used to live in the District, but due to the 1994 ethnic conflict it has become risky for them to continue
living there. The lack of ethnic homogeneity tends to constrain socio-cultural organization and
10
development. There are inter-tribal marriages and peaceful co-existence which enhances unity in
diversity.
There are four major religious groups in the Central Gonja District. These are as follows: Islam
constitutes about 84.3%, Christianity 12.1% while traditional religion 1.8% and others 1.6% (source: GSS
2010 PHC). There is relatively religious harmony which is a pre-requisite for development.
Settlement Systems
The settlements are largely nucleated in nature and tend to be located along the main access routes in
the District. The largest of the settlements in terms of hierarchy is Buipe the District capital. The
communities in the central Gonja district are largely located at intervals of average of 15kms apart. They
are also made up of population clusters not exceeding 100 to 200 in a community. Communities that
have population of 500 and above numbered 62 in 2010. However, the top 10 communities in the
District have populations ranging between 1,408 to 11,653. According to the 2010 population census,
there are a total of 103 communities across the District. This is so because the very minute ones were
merged to each other based on proximity for convenience.

Extract of the 2010 population census Report for Central Gonja (GSS, 2010)
Most of these settlements are poorly accessible to centers of services like secondary schools, major
health facilities and banking services. The road linkages to the interior communities are very poor both
in network and condition. Telecommunication to facilitate communication is not well developed. Most
of the communities are therefore unable to reach the wider world via cell phone communication. To
make it worse radio signals are even very poorer than telecommunication since even the District capital
is very limited in terms of radio signals.
With the exception of Buipe the District capital, all the other communities are largely farming
dominated in their local economic activities. Also the area council capitals functions as the growth poles
of the District with some amount of service provisions. Some of these services provided include
education, health farm tools manufacture activities undertaken. These communities also serve as the
traditional headquaterses as they are the seats of the paramouncies of the District.
11
Some of the communities tend to be sited along the main rivers – White and Black Voltas – to take
advantage of the vast fresh water fish resources.
1.4 Economy of the District
The economy of the Central Gonja District is largely agrarian in nature. Not less than an estimated
population percentage of xxx is engaged in farming as a primary occupation. Poverty situation is very
high as in Ghana the food crop farmers happen to fall in the class of highly impoverished people. Others
are also engaged in fishing especially the communities along the white and Black Voltas.
Buipe has one of the largest cattle markets in the northern region. There are even plans to turn this
cattle market to an international one to serve the sub-region. With the trans-Ecowas highway cutting
across the District, this dream is sure to come to reality.
There are however, a few factories that manufacture cement and oil as well as drinking water. The
District is infact the only District Assembly in the Northern Region that is proud to house manufacturing
industries. Currently there are no data about the income and employment situation across the District.
1.5 Food Security
Central Gonja is a major agriculture concentrated zone in the region and the country for that matter.
Production levels for major food crops like Maize, Cassava, Yam, Rice, Groundnut, Cowpea, Soybean,
Millet and Sorghum has been on the ascendancy. Though not food secure to imbalances in production
and also nutritional status, the situation is very positive. Tabulated below is a display of progression of
major food items production in the District from 2010 to 2013.

1.6 Governance
Central Gonja District Assembly is one of the 26 administrative local government structures in the Northern Region of Ghana. As a decentralized structure, Central Gonja by law is mandated to perform some critical functions including:
Legislative
12
Financial Control
Executive Function of the Assembly
Representational Function
Deliberative and Administrative
Planning and Implementation of Development interventions
Monitoring and Evaluation
At the top of the governance structure of the District is the Assembly headed by the Executive committee. The main committee of the assembly is the executive committee chaired by the District Chief executive. Under the executive committee are five mandatory sub-committees. These are the Development Planning Sub-committee, Finance and Administration Sub-committee, Social Services Sub-committee, Security and Justice Sub-committee and Works sub-committee.
The assembly is supported in its operations by substructures. In Central Gonja District such sub-structures are five in number. These include Tuluwe area council, Kusawgu area council, Yapei area council, Mpaha area council and Buipe area council. There are 31 electoral areas each represented by an assembly person. This number is augmented by the Member of Parliament and the District Chief executive. In effect there are 33 elected assembly members. Out of the number, 4 are females. There are five area councils and 155 unit committee members spread across the entire district that feed into the area council.

1.7 SOCIAL SERVICES
Health
Over the years interventions in the provision of health has been improving though with numerous challenges. The highest level of health service provision in the Central Gonja District is a Health Centre. There is no District Hospital yet. The health situation of majority of the people in the District capital can be described as generally poor. This is due mainly to the prevalence of diseases. That apart, the following factors contribute to the bad state of health of the people:
(a) Poor nutrition and poor housing conditions (b) Problem of environmental sanitation (c) Inadequate health services and facilities. The current human resources situation in the District is as indicated in the graph below. OPD attendance due to Malaria is still high in Central Gonja District. Acute Respiratory Tract Infection and diarrhea constantly follow over the period 2010 t0 2013. The malaria situation & the other top 2 are due to poor Environmental Sanitation or conditions. Other reasons for the current malaria statistics have been attributable to Diagnostic difficulties and Poor utilisation of the ITNs.
Figure 1: Top 10 OPD Diseases from 2010 to 2013
Source: Ghana Health Service, Central Gonja District Assembly, 2013
There is a still inadequate health professional in the District to occupy all the essential sectors of health service delivery. Much effort is required in this area either by sponsoring more staff or redistributing the existing staff from well endowed areas of the region to Central Gonja to make up for the gap existing. The current situation id indicated in the graph below.

Transportation to facilitate health service delivery is also not the best. This has largely been due to poor
road conditions and over aged motorcycles. This has been worsened by the poor road condition across
the entire district. The situation as studied over the last four years is as indicated below in the table.

Notwithstanding the challenges however, a number of services are carried out to improve life for the
people especially the vulnerable and deprived people and communities. The services provided in the
district include medical care, antenatal and child welfare services. Other services are immunization,
post-natal services, family planning services, and health education on prevalent health issues. The Top
ten diseases in the district from 2010 to the end of 2013 are as tabulated below:

1.8 HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE
Generally, the district has limited infrastructure. It lacks hospital. The highest health institution the district is health posts which are located at Kusawgu, Mpaha, Yapei and Buipe. Apart from the health posts the district also has rural clinics at Sankpala and Chama respectively. Health facilities are, therefore, inadequate and unevenly distributed in the district. The distribution of infrastructure and the growth situation over the years in detailed in the
table below.

1.9 EDUCATION
Formal education has been proclaimed as the basis for personal and national development, yet much is needed to make it a reality. Central Gonja District has made some strides into raising educational attainment from its doldrums from the 2000s. There has been an improvement of infrastructure from 2010 to 2013. The number of schools by category has also improved tremendously though much is still required.

On BECE performance, the statistics shows a reverse trend. While the absolute numbers of girls
passing the BECE examinations is dropping the performance in reality is improving and that of
boys is dropping. Much effort is required therefore to improve the female transition rate and to
maintain or even improve on the BECE performance for girls. The table below evidences the
trend over the last four years (2010-2013).

The situation here will require intensified campaign on retention, improvement of teaching and
learning and against teenage pregnancy among other critical interventions to raise educational
standards. There is committed administrative staff to make things work if resources are made
available. However, there will be the need to tighten sanctions against bad nuts in the system
who fails to perform but take salary.
1.10 SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE
On infrastructure, much has been achieved over the past four years. Infrastructure for the KG
has increased by 80%, Primary appreciated by 51%, 18% for JHS and 100% in the case of SHS.
The details have been tabulated below. The situation has been due to the high demand for
education and the fact that education is considered the tool to propel national development
resulting in its prioritization as number one sector of the district.

The teacher population is not the best as we have it currently, while pupils teacher ratio is improving, the situation are so due to high numbers of untrained teachers. As the enrolments rates increase in response to high demand for education, the educational managers of the District also make efforts to fill the teacher gap by employing pupil teachers. There is therefore a high number of pupils teachers in the District. The situation on the ground is displayed in the figure next.

1.11 SCHOOL SANITATION
School sanitation is very critical to the health of the pupils and students and plays a critical role
in female retention in school especially when they are at the adolescent age. There are 109
schools in the district. Out of these, a total of 44 of the schools have toilet facilities, 47 are
equipped with urinals and only 11 of them have water supply facilities. This situation definitely
affects the hand washing with soap initiative. This is because with water supply being so
difficult it will be impossible to maintain the hygiene status since there is even no enough to
drink let alone wash hands. This in effect also have effects on the health status of the pupils.

1.12 VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
Like any other parts of the world or Ghana in particular, the issues of vulnerability also engulfs the
population of Central Gonja District. Of the 87,877 people captured in the 2010 PHC, 50% are adult
active population and 46% are children and 4% are aged. In effect, 50% of the population is dependent
riding on the back of the active population. Out of these about 3.6% of the population of Central Gonja
are disabled and hence vulnerable in terms of access to health services, to basic means of livelihood,
disadvantaged in mobility and serious access to public facilities. The highly disadvantaged ones had to
be captured for support by the District outfit of NHIS as indigents. Besides, W are children who are
vulnerable and need care and support to grow into responsible adults. The District Assembly year on
year provides ECD centers for this group of the population. For the period between 2010 to 2013
fourteen ECD centers were constructed in the District. This has improved the accommodation needs of
the little kids who need to be catered for and to allow their parents to fend for their daily survival.
1.13 SCHOOL FEEDING
A total of 16 schools are covered under the school feeding project in all the Area Councils of the District.
The intervention aims at cushioning the vulnerable children are in remote and poor suburbs of towns.
The beneficiaries number up to 5,531 pupils by the close of 2013. These are fed with at least one hot
meal during school hours for the five weekly days in each week.
1.14 NHIS
Yet another safety net designed to improve the plight of the poor and which is operating well in
the District is the NHIS. The situation from 2010 to 2013 has been tabulated below:

Of the registrants that benefitted from NHIS in Central Gonja District, statistics in 2013 alone indicate that 5,418 of them were poor or vulnerable. With no support of any kind to meet the daily basic needs of survival the safety net was the health insurance. Up to the end of the first quarter of 2014, 97 people were given treatment through the health insurance scheme. Details are displayed below.

1.15 LIVELIHOOD EMPOWERMENT AGAINST POVERTY (LEAP)
Under the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty, there have been a good number of
vulnerable women and men that have over the years received financial cushioning to ease their
plight. Efforts are even being made to expand the coverage to make life much more bearable to
the disadvantaged or excluded in society. The total beneficiaries covered in the District so far
are 235.
1.16 RESILIENCY IN NORTHERN GHANA PROJECT - RING
With funding from USAID, more vulnerable people are being supported out of poverty,
vulnerability, malnutrition, sanitation related vulnerabilities and hygiene promotion. A total of
2350 beneficiaries from poor households in 50 communities are being supported through the
delivery of various interventions. The District is also preparing an action plan for the beneficiary
communities to facilitate the delivery of targeted intervention to improve the poor households.
1.17 ECD Centers
As the future leaders of this nation, the District Assembly and its responsible department for
education and development partners has over the years put in place structures to house the
children. This follows the policy of ECD centers by the government.
1.18 HIV AND AIDS
HIV/AIDS situation is improving in the District. The prevalence has been dropping over the years
though the District capital is a high risk area due to the haulage truck drivers that have been
parading there to load either fuel, wood or cement or offload shea nuts.

1.19 GENDER
Gender issues are still challenging situation at the District. The level of knowledge in decision in gender planning and capacities to implement programs are low. Gender sensitive policies are limited or not effectively implemented. There is also no framework for the coordinating gender issues and tools in mainstreaming gender. Data and information are poorly documented. The collection and usage of sex disaggregated data are inadequate and unreliable. It is also noted that political and institutional participation of male/female is unbalanced. However, there are opportunities at the District level in terms of the gender desk offices and the girl child officer at the directorate of GES to promote the interest of women and girls that will feed into effort at promoting gender based development interventions.
1.20 ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE AND GREEN ECONOMY
The review indicated that little is known even at the cycle of technical levels in the district of climate change. There is therefore a yawning gap in climate change information spread to bring the local people to be in terms with the reality of climate change and its possible effects on livelihoods, incomes and the very fabric of life.
1.21 AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is the main stay of the local economy in the Central Gonja District. The population census results indicate that 75% of the population is engaged in agriculture. Output of the major crops produced has been improving with a good positive trend from 2010 to 2013. This means the situation is good but need to be organized better to ensure farmers are put into cooperatives to reap the benefits of the improvements in outputs. The major crops produced with the growth a trend is tabulated below:

1.22 LIVESTOCK
Livestock production is also quite recognizable. As a result of the two major rivers that drain the
district, there are large herds of cattle reared across the entire length and breadth of the
District. The performance of the livestock sub-sector over the past four years beginning 2010 to
2013 has been indicated graphically below.

1.23 POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS
1.23.1 Population size and distribution
The district has a total population of 87,877 with an annual growth rate of 2.2% which is below the regional growth rate of 2.9%. Population density of the district is 11.6 per a parcel of land. Males constituted 49.9% of the population while females constituted 50.1% culminating into a sex ratio of 99.6.
The district is more rurally populated than urban from the table below. It is an agrarian economy with 75% of its population into agric. The rural areas according to the table are more densely populated by the economically active (15-64).
1.23.2 Age and sex structure
Greater proportions (15,440) of the district population are within the age group 0-4 while age bracket
95-99 recorded the least.

1.23.3 Dependency Ratio
Central Gonja has a relatively concise age dependency ratio of 100.16 percent, implying almost every member of the working class has at least one person to cater for.
1.24 HOUSING
There are 12,041 houses in the district. Total number of household stands at 11,413 with an
average household size of 7.6 compared with the regional average figure of 6.7 per household.
The indications are that at the household level, the district is slightly more crowded than other
parts of the region.
1.25 DISASTER
Central Gonja by virtue of its location and low altitude is susceptible to floods. The highest points are 150-200meters above sea level. At the centre of the savannah parkland with extreme dry weather conditions for most part of the year alternating with heavy flash floods leads to a number of disasters. The main disasters recorded every year are flooding, bushfire and at the beginning of every rainy season, windstorms. All these major disasters are devastating and lead to the loss of most property distraction to homes and schools.
1.26 WATER SECURITY
The water situation in the Central Gonja District is quite pathetic though the statistics points to some positive trends from 2010 to 2013. The gains made are skewed to the towns with small town water system at the centre of the water success. As for the boreholes, numerous attempts made across the District have failed to produce wet wells for the populace to have safe drinking water. On the whole, the District has achieved safe water coverage of 52.73% by the close of the year 2013. However due to the skewed nature of this achievement, it is quite misleading to think that the district is getting to a point of water secure. Since underground water is difficult to come by, it is instrumental to explore other means of safe water supply including rainwater harvest and the construction of dugouts fitted with filtration galleries as well as treatment and distribution of river (surface) water.

1.27 MIGRATION (EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION)
Though no statistics is available, the generally trend is that the outmigration in the District is
perceived to be higher especially among the female youth who enroll for kayayee in the cities
down south. The only cases of in migration are to the District capital where a number of
factories are springing up so as to search for job placements in the factories. However, of late,
the boom in logging in the Gonja land area has attracted a number of youth and articulator
drivers as well as tractor operators in their numbers to take advantage of the new trade.
Over the planned period, the District with support of its development partners succeeded in implementing a wide range of interventions targeted at reducing poverty, creating employment and improving health and wellbeing of the society. The performance of most of the indicators in the areas of Health, Education, and Agriculture and to some extent Water and Sanitation has been on the positive side. This does not mean the implementation of these were without protracted challenges.

1.28 A SUMMARY OF KEY DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS/ISSUES/GAPS
IDENTIFIED
The collated harmonized issues from the review of the GSGDA based MTDP spanning 2010 – 2013 were linked to the NMTDPF 2014-2017 to ensure consistency. The issues harmonized were a result of the situation analysis from both the community perspective and the departmental review of implementation of the past interventions and the challenges arising out of that were summarized based on thematic areas. These identified issues or challenges have been prioritized for the purpose of redress to lift the district to another attainable level in development given the current resources base and expectation. The challenges prioritized and the corresponding issues adopted from the National Medium Term Development Policy Framework have been tabulated next based on thematic areas. These issues will further be subjected to detail analysis to determine their Potentials (P), Opportunities (O), Constraints (C) and Challenges (C).
The outcome of the analysis will offer a clue as to the ease with which the particular challenge could be tackled. Where it will not be easy for the identified challenge to be addressed then alternative course of action to address the issue will be explored.

2.0 CHAPTER 2: PRIORITISATION OF DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
An examination of the development needs of the Central Gonja District reveals that much is
desired in the face of limited resources. The District is still lagging in educational infrastructure
and services, health situation is nothing striking to write home about and water and sanitation
is far from the comfort zone considering the fact that people drink from dugouts and ponds as
well as the rivers and streams in this period of civilization. Food production has not reached a
level that will guarantee food security and boost income levels of households. In the face of this
hazy situation are also infrastructural deficit. Roads are in deplorable state both in network and
condition, electricity coverage is only an absolute 4 communities (25.5% of the population)
connection to the grid since the creation of the District. There is a complete absence of a
District hospital and the lower level health service centers are woefully inadequate.
Besides these basic sectors of the Central Gonja District, the District is also confronted with
cross cutting issues of gender based disparities, environmental degradation and climate change
effects. These have therefore guided the Assembly to do a selection and prioritization of the
numerous challenges identified in the review and community engagement sessions to some
manageable issues that could be implemented in the face of resource limitations. The issues
outlined therefore finds expression in the geographical spread of the entire Central Gonja
District based on community priorities.
2.1 POTENTIALS, OPPORTUNITIES, CONSTRAINTS AND CHALLENGES
(POCC ANALYSIS)
The development issues identified from the performance review of GSGDA 2010 – 2013 were compared with the NMTDF 2014 – 2017 key issues. The District priority issues were then harmonized with the NMTDPF 2014 – 2017 issues and adopted for the purpose of national harmony or uniformity before the analysis of POCC was conducted. The issues to be addressed have been tested for their potentials and the identified opportunities to determine the ease with which they could be implemented in the face of challenges and constraints. The details of these have been tabulated in the next page.

3.0 CHAPTER 3: DEVELOPMENT GOAL, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
In formulating the District development goal and identifying the objectives and strategies to address the goal, there was the need to have recourse to the national policy framework since the Central Gonja District does not exist in isolation. The NMTDF 2014 - 2017 was made the point of reference to guide the orderly formulation of the plan alongside national aspirations. As such the goal of the District is been informed by the NMTDF document and the objectives and strategies have been adopted directly from the GSGDA II framework. However, before stating the goal and the objectives as well as the district development focus is necessary.
3.1 A CLEAR DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT FOCUS
Due to its peculiar circumstances, the Central Gonja District Assembly requires much effort and resources to lessen the socio-economic hardship that confronts the people. Since resources are limited and all needs cannot be met at one time, the District has decided to prioritize some key areas with the potential to turn the lives of everybody in the District around without discrimination and favoritism. As such the following are the key focus areas of Central Gonja District Assembly in an effort.
Improving on basic social infrastructure and services at all parts of the District based on
need and resources availability (Health, education, agricultural and safe water and
sanitation infrastructure);
Promoting agriculture as an enterprise for rural poverty reduction and creating
employment to raise incomes.
Improving the natural & Built environment and promoting green economy;
Building capacity for climate change adaptation, resilience and sustainable livelihoods;
The District will marshal the human and material resources available and take advantage of opportunities locally and externally to translate these prioritized focused areas into action to achieve results in the next four years.
3.2 DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT GOAL
The Central Gonja District is just but a part of the Ghana. As such, it is not working in isolation in the effort at effecting development for the people of the District and for that matter Ghana as a whole. Based on this fact, the District is aims at working towards achieving the national. Therefore, the development goal of the CGDA is: To achieve sustainable and equitable productive environment to ensure Food Security, improve basic Infrastructure, income, employment and services to the citizenry in a participatory decentralized system. This will be pursued by working towards the achievement of carefully identified and adopted development objectives. These objectives will be achieved by the implementation of clear and straightforward activities emanating from communities perspectives. However, the implementation of these activities much hinges on the future needs of the population for whom these interventions will be targeted. It is therefore imperative that, projections of the populations and the possible facilities or services to answer to the needs of the population be made to serve as a guide for making informed choices and implementation of interventions.
41
3.3 Development projections for 2014-2017
The population of Central Gonja District as at the year 2010 was put at 87,877 with an annual growth rate of 2.2%. With the current population base, it is expected that the population will be 102,277 by the year 2017. However the yearly growth will be as follows:
YEAR GROWTH RATE % INCREASE BASE POP TOTAL
2011 2.14 1,881 87,877 89,758
2012 2.19 1,966 89,758 91,723
2013 2.23 2,045 91,723 93,769
2014 2.26 2,119 93,769 95,888
2015 2.15 2,062 95,888 97,949
2016 2.18 2,135 97,949 100,085
2017 2.19 2,192 100,085 102,277
Source: Ghana Statistical Services, 2010 PHC
Due to these population growth projected. The demand for services and amenities will also grow alongside these figures. As such there is the need to make provision ahead of time the yearly growth in service and infrastructure demand of education, health, water and sanitation and stepping up of production of foods to maintain food security as the population increases.

4.1 INDICATIVE FINANCIAL PLAN
Over the planned period of 2014 to 2017, the District will require a lot of revenue or finances to be able
to fund the implementation of the interventions proposed in the plan. These funds from both internal and
external sources amount to 63,833,809 Ghana cedis. These funds will be sourced from such areas as
Internally Generated Funds (IGF), projected central government in-flows such as Departmental Allocations
District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), District Development Facility, funding for planned programmes
of development partners, NGOs support, GETFUND, and RING (USAID) funds.
However an amount of 89,508,620.00 is required to implement the plan for the four year period. The
GHc25,674,791 difference will be patched up from other ways of soliciting support including proposal
development, private sector interventions etc.
The Expenditure areas with cost have been spelt out in the table below. This table gives an idea of the

5.5 DISTRICT PLAN LINKED TO THE DISTRICT COMPOSITE
ANNUAL BUDGET
We wish to acknowledge that the indicative budgets as captured in the Annual Action plans have
been translated into detail costing under the MTEF composite budget. This has been done in order
to legally allocated development resources towards the implementation of the plan on annual
basis. The details of the costing therefore can be fetched in the composite budget in the case of
2014 annual action plan. The subsequent annual action plans will find expression in the MTEF
composite budget in line with current prices and needs year by year.
5.6 IMPLEMENTATION OF ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The Annual Action Plans from 2014 to 2017 are to be implemented by the decentralized departments and
other supporting departments of the District together with the partner agencies both within and external.
The Local NGOs including, CSOs and FBOs will all be roped in to ensure a smooth and effective
implementation of interventions. The action plans which covers several basic areas including education,
health, water and sanitation and agriculture as well as cross cutting areas like gender, environment,
HIV/AIDs, children and the aged, population and tourism have been scheduled with times lines to deliver
the interventions. The success or otherwise of the implementation within the stipulated time frame is
however hinged on the funding or financial resource availability.
The plan has been supported pictorially through the spatial framework that has been attached. This makes
it possible to understand at a glance the ground spread of the interventions proposed to transform the
lives of the people.
112
6.0 CHAPTER 6: MONITORING AND EVALUATION ARRANGEMENTS
This section indicates how the plan will be monitored and results documented for dissemination and to feed into further planning. The details required have been outlined step by step next.
6.1 Identification and analysis of stakeholders
A good number of stakeholders are necessary when the implementation and monitoring of the MTDP is
concerned. These stakeholders identified in the table below have various interests far as their work is
concerned. Their various interests are to allow them take stock of their own performance or the
performance of other. This will enable them in one way or the other to determine progress or otherwise so
as to feed into re-strategizing in order to make positive improvements in the efforts at effecting
development of the district and for that matter feeding into the regional and national development. The
various stakeholders and their specific interest based on their area of operations are captured in the table
below.

6.2 ASSESSING NEEDS AND CREATING THE NECESSARY
CONDITIONS AND CAPACITIES
To be able to carry out effective monitoring of progress of the implementation of the MTDP, basic
requirements of transport, fuel and some skill level of a few staff involved in the monitoring activities is
necessary. This simple matrix below assesses the current situation of the District and what can be done to
arrest the situation in the interim.
M & E NEEDS CAPACITY REQUIRED CURRENT SITUATION
MINIMUM GAP TO BE FILLED
Human resources Minimum of 5 staff Very good M & E training will be needed.
Minimum Skills Basic knowledge in data gathering.
Fair Training on data gathering and report writing.
Transport At least 1 pickup & 2 motorbikes
Very bad At least 2 motorbikes.
ICT Laptop & desktop Very good Purchase of anti-virus and regular servicing.

6.6 M&E BUDGET
The District will require financial and logistical budget amount to the tune of One Hundred and Seventy
Eight Ghana Cedis Seventy Ghana Peswas (178.70) to be able to implement the Medium Term Plan
monitoring for the four year period. The details of the budget in line with the MTEF format will be
provided in the Detailed M & E plan which will be crafted as an extract of this plan. Work on that is
underway and will soon be completed. We expect to fund the monitoring plan from the DACF funding
sources and from individual project activities as a percentage of each project or activity will set aside as
part of the project to cater for monitoring and evaluation activities of the District. The budget headings
are captured in the M & E calendar above.
6.7 DATA COLLECTION, VALIDATION AND COLLATION
Data on Programmes and Projects
The District Planning Coordinating Unit will compile a list of programmes and projects running in the district.
The essence will be to capture all programmes and projects undertaken under the auspices of the District
Assembly, by MDAs as well as Development Partners and NGOs to be able to track the overall district
performance and measure progress in reducing poverty. Both primary and secondary data will be
gathered and compartmented into Process data, Input data, Output data and Outcome/impact data. The
compiled data will be validated in a forum represented by all the stakeholders to clean it of any errors
and inconsistencies to arrive at authentic data to give it credibility.
Data Analysis and use of the results
The District Planning Coordinating unit which is currently the manager of data at the assembly will collate
all M&E data in the District including those gathered by the decentralized departments and agencies as
well as NGOs and CSOs for analysis. The data will be analyzed using software that the team is
conversant with. The analyzed data will reveal findings that will then be reported on to RPCU, NDPC and
other stakeholders.
6.8 REPORTING
At the end of each quarter monitoring activities, the findings will be made known to the project
stakeholders including communities and sector departments and whoever is interested. The DPCU will brief
the DCE, Presiding Member and other DA actors on progress of implementation of interventions
observations and gaps identified. This will trigger all stakeholders to take the necessary action that is
required before the next monitoring exercise will be conducted.
6.9 INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
The plan has made provision for an effective plan dissemination team to make the plan known to the
citizens of the District. As such this team will be used for the effective communication of the findings to the
stakeholders at the sub-district and community levels in order to step up transparency and accountability
of the DA. This activity will also ensure commitment to development and poverty reduction at the local
level. The show of transparency will further the commitment of the stakeholders and development partners
to support development interventions that emerged from the results of M&E outcomes.
6.10 PARTICIPATORY M&E
Participatory M&E as a valuable tool will be employed to capture perceptions and assess whether
interventions have met citizens expectations, especially of the poor and the vulnerable in society.
Citizens’ assessment, using citizens score card and reporting cards as well as focus group discussions will
be conducted to find out their perception on service delivery of selected issues within the DMTDP. This
will yield valuable results for replanning.
