SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Road

The total road network in the District is about 165.1km. This is categorized into Highways, consisting of the Ho-Kpetoe-Ziope Highway, and Feeder Roads including engineered, partially engineered and un- engineered roads.  The only road with bitumen surface is the 41km stretch of the major highway from Ho through Kpetoe to Aflao. In addition to this about 3kms of streets in the Kpetoe Township are tarred. The rest are either gravelled or bush tracks accessible only during the dry season. The major gravel roads are the Kpetoe-Apegame road and the Ziope-Wudzedeke road. The major challenge is the maintenance of these gravelled roads. The problem associated with road transportation in the area is the construction of new roads and maintenance of existing ones

Trade & Commerce

The major markets in District are situated in Kpetoe, and Ziope. The Kpetoe and Ziope markets have five day cycle. These markets enable the people to move from one market place to another in order to buy and sell. The major foodstuffs that are normally found in the markets include tomatoes, okro, yam, plantain, cassava, among others. This is because about 90% of the rural folks are predominantly into farming.

The District imports items from other districts. Apart from foodstuffs that are cheaper in the markets, other non-foodstuffs like cement, building materials, among others are bought from Ho, Aflao and Accra.
