PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW OF THE ASSEMBLY

Establishment of the District

The Wassa East District Assembly was carved out of Wassa Fiase Mpohor District which was established in 1988 by LI 1385 and was re-established under Local Government Act, 1993, Act 462 in 2012 under Legislative Instrument (LI) 2018 which has now been replaced by the Local Governance Act 2016, Act 936. The Assembly currently has a membership of 32 made up of 21 Elected, 9 Government Appointees, a Member of Parliament and a District Chief Executive. There are four (4) Area Councils namely; Ateiku, Enyinabrim, Ekutuase and Daboase Area Councils

The Wassa East District is bordered to the North East and South East by the Twifo Hemang Lower Denkyira, Twifo Ati-Mokwa and Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem Districts respectively. It also bounded to the North West by Prestea Huni- Valley and to the South by Mpohor and Shama District Assemblies respectively.

The District covers an area of about 1,334 square kilometers and has over 196 settlements.

Population Structure

The District Population accordingto2020 Population census was 107,489. Using the Growth Rate of 2.1 percent, the Districts population is estimated to be 109,743 in the year 2023. This is made up of Females population being about 53,207 representing 49.5% while the Males population is about 54,282 representing 50.5 %.

According to provisional estimate 53.5% of the population falls within the economically active group (i.e. 15-64) It can be seen from the above projected population of the District that the population of the District continues to increase.

Poor attitude towards birth control, high illiteracy level coupled with inadequate knowledge of the implications of keeping large families as well as immigration into the District are some of the contributing factors that would have contributed to this phenomenon.

District Economy

a.   AGRICULTURE

The District is predominantly into subsistence and large scale agriculture which employs about 71.5% of the workforce in the District according to the 2020 population and housing census. The major staple food crop produced in the District include cassava, plantain, maize, cocoyam and vegetables such as pepper, okra and garden eggs. The other agricultural activities include fishing in the Pra River, livestock farming and lumbering.

The total Kilometers of roads in the District is about 202Km with about 125 Km tarred; 96 Km was done under the Cocoa Road Project between 2015 – 2016 while 11 Km under the Cocoa Road is still under construction between Domama and Amponsaso. Feeder roads links most of the communities but most of these roads sometimes become bad and difficult to use during the rainy seasons and need constant reshaping and rehabilitation. Some of the roads liking some communities requires construction. Transport services are provided by the Ghana Private Road Transport Union while tricycles assist in carting goods and people from communities which roads are not easily motorable.

c.  ENERGY

Energy for that matter electricity is one of the key pillars for economic growth and development. Connecting Communities to the National grid would enhanced the effective functioning of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises that would help boost local economic activities. Currently electricity coverage is about 65.31% covering about 128 Communities out of the 196 Communities have been connected to the national grid in the District whiles remaining Communities are still not connected.

d.   MARKET CENTER

The District has various satellite markets while the market centers at Daboase, Ateiku and Senchem needs to be improved to help improve revenue generation. The Assembly has initiated processes to involve private investors in completing the Daboase Market Stores and Offices to help make the Daboase Market a very vibrant Market. The Assembly has also initiated processes to improve the facilities at the other two markets centers at Ateiku and Senchem for improved participation by citizens. During market days, the people in the District who are mostly farmers bring their foodstuffs and other agriculture produce to the market centers for sale. Other traders from outside the District bring other goods and services to the markets to trade in.

e. EDUCATION

Fig 1. Illustrates the total number of candidates and the number of pupils that passed, whereas   Fig.2 depicts the total percentage of candidates that passed with the above stated years.

From Fig. 1, it can be deduced that, in the year 2017, 1,685 pupils out of a total of 1,704 candidates passed the exam which represents 98.9% in Fig.2.

It can also be noticed that, in the year 2018 there was a decline in the percentage performance of pupils (91.3%) due to a fall in the teacher-pupil ratio within the District. This is attributed to the increment in the total number of candidates that took the exams as against that of the previous year.

From Fig.2, it can be said that there was a massive improvement in percentage passed (96.2%) in year 2019 due to improvement in the teacher-pupil ratio as a result of the Assembly’s effort to increase the number of teachers in the District. 

From Fig 2, it can be noticed that, there was an improvement in the parentage number of pupils that passed the BECE exam in year 2020 as against the previous years though it was a pandemic year. This was mainly due to the Assembly’s massive investment in the BECE examination. The investment covered areas such as monitoring, provision of examination manuals on Past Questions and Answers among others.

In all, the performance percentage shows a fluctuating trend with year 2021 being the best performing year with a total of 99.2% of candidates passing the exams.

a.   HEALTH

There are 31 health facilities comprising of two (2) hospitals (Private), Two (2) Health Centers, four (4) Clinics, twenty-One (21) CHPs Compounds and two (2) Maternity Homes in the District. The District has three (3) Doctors and Sixty-One Nurses. The Doctor to Patient ratio currently stands at 1:32,555 while Nurses to Patient ratio stands at 1: 2,668. Malaria continues to top the chart for the top ten reported cases in the District in terms of OPD attendance and death. Blackflies which causes blindness is also a threat in the District while recent data collected on the People with Disabilities indicates that epilepsy sickness in on the increase which requires an in-depth research to know the causes of increase in the sickness in the District.

b.   WATER AND SANITATION

The main sources of drinking water are Borehole/Hand dug well, Small Town Water Piped System and Pipe-Borne Water. Percentage of the population with access to safe water supply is about 85%. There are 376 boreholes and hand dug wells and 5 Small Town Water Piped System serving over 167 communities in the District.

The Assembly is in the process of engaging stakeholders on Pay-As-You-Dump Policy to ensure efficient and effective Waste Management in the District to avoid the outbreak of any waste and sanitation related diseases. Stakeholders are also being sensitized to provide toilet facilities in their various houses while the Assembly is making efforts to provide institutions with latrines

Waste Management remains a challenge to the District Assembly particularly sachet water products. This is due to inadequate funds, logistics and environmental health staff to effectively manage waste in the District. Refuse Disposal in most communities in the District is still at the crude stage where solid and liquid wastes are dumped in the open at designated sites. In the light of this, the District in collaboration with Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a Private Waste Collection and Management Company, has embarked upon a regular or daily cleaning of major towns particularly Area Councils’ Capitals to rid it of waste. However, there is the need for the District Environmental Unit staff to be augmented for monitoring of activities and to also summon before Court Persons who may not keep their surroundings clean.

  • TOURISM

The Domama Rock Shrine is a prominent eco-tourist site in the Western Region which needs major upgrading to boost revenue and create employment. The Subri River Forest Reserve (375 sq km) and the Pra Suhyen Forest Reserve (204 sq km) also attract tourist due to their canopy layouts. Finally, the Adwera festival and other allied festivals, usually performed between the months of October and November could be packaged for tourism purposes.

  • ENVIRONMENT

Wassa East District seeks to accelerate the provision and improvement of environmental sanitation and disseminate information on hygiene to communities
