PROJECTIONS, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
Population Projections
Introduction
The chapter looks at the development projections of Amenfi Central District for 2022-2025 in relation to the list of prioritised issues captured in chapter one. The objective is to ascertain the additional social, economic and infrastructural services that needs to be provide within the medium-term in order to achieve the District development objectives. The projected target population as determined by development standards of the District drove the additional services required.
Development Projections
The population projection method as specified by the national development planning commission guideline is the exponential method with its basic assumption’s constants, the projected populations was calculated with a regional inter- censal growth of 2.5percent. The population is expected to increase to 93,160 in 2022, 95,518 in 2023, 97,936 in 2024, 100,414 in 2025.These increase in population requires additional educational facilities, water and sanitation, health and other physical infrastructure and services that needs to be provided to meet the needs of the growing population as in the table below:
Revenue projections 2022-2025
The projections of sources of revenue to the Assembly is based on the assumption that such revenue sources will be increased by 5% annually over the planned period as shown in Table 3.1
Educational facilities and Services
The enrolment in schools at all level is to improve within the planned period. This requires that the number of existing classroom blocks are increased to accommodate the pupil. Provision for other facilities such as the teachers’ accommodation, institutional latrines and other educational facilities. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 show the projected enrolment in schools and the required number of School buildings for 2022-2025 The expected number of furniture is to cater for the increase in enrolment and replacement of broken-down furniture
Health projection
From table 3.3 the District at the end of the planned period will need additional 7 CHPS compound to fill in the gap when using the CHPs Zone approach. The deficit in the primary health care facilities seems to imply that the people do not have easy access to health facilities. There is no hospital in the District. Therefore, access health care from other adjourning Districts. For these heath gaps to be achieve there should be collaboration between neighbouring Districts to site such facilities that would serve the several communities within an enclave.
Water Infrastructure Needs
The main sources of potable water in the District are hand-dug wells, boreholes and streams. However, the supply of water available for domestic use is constraint. There are 146 existing boreholes and two small town water supply system. However, due to poor management and maintenance of water systems, there are frequent breakdown of facilities resulting in the inadequate supply of water
Agricultural projection
There are numerous challenges confronting the Agricultural sector in the District. This include inadequate of storage facilities and processing facilities, inadequate extension services, low access credit to farmers, high cost agro-chemical inputs, poor market infrastructures and poor road network linking the market centres
