Social
As noted the
northern region one of the poorest in Ghana it is characterized by high
illiteracy many children out of school high school drop-out rate low income
food security low health status poor housing, lack of good drinking water and
poor infrastructure and social service statistics show that the northern of
Ghana experiences the lowest rate of school enrolment and of children out of
school girl are majority.
Government’s free
compulsory universal basic education (FCUBE) has made the of girls a priority
but growing poverty is impeding government efforts at realizing this
objectives. As a result there are huge number of who are illiteracy and without
access to education or skills training who be come particularly vulnerable to
kayayo work as mentioned above this is situation where girls migrate to the
cities in the south of Ghana to work as head ported carrying loads for people
in the market. The majority of girls end up sleeping on pavement, in front of
stores on verandas and make shift structures. The combined effect of the hard
work they do the income they earn poor diet and where they sleep poses a risk
to their health the girls are sometimes robber as well as being exposed to
prostitution sexually transmitted disease and unwanted pregnancies many of the
girls get stranded and are unable to return home for various reason some are
simply not able to raise funds for the return trip and others are unwilling to
return home and face the embarrassment of going back empty handed.
Further as a
result of girls not receiving education the majority are not aware of their
basic right this leans to a negative cycle, as when the girl go on later to
have children of their own they are informed about their parental
responsibilities as well as the right of their children
Culture
Women the northern
region are usually seen as inferior to men and there are role is often seen
chiefly as being responsible for running the household and having children,
many women have little or no control over issues such as household’s income is
spent, what education their children receive and even their own health care,
over the years these practice have therefore help the women to feel inferior to
men incapable of operating at the same level as men in society.
There are also
certain customs, traditions and believes in place which hinder development of
girls in the northern region, such as child marriage, where young girl are
married to older man. In many cases if such a girl is in school she is
withdrawn for school when the man decides she is read for marriage, so does not
complete formal education.
Another common
cultural practice is child fostering where girls in particular are put under
the care of their aunts usually these girls either drop out of school or finish
only the basic level but do not proceed to a high level. Traditionally this was
done to strengthen family bonds, but unfortunately the situation has change
today urbanization and modernization mean more fortunate relatives are lees
willing to take I of poorer relations, so these girls are more likely accepted
by relatives, who are more traditional and view them as an extra pair of hard
to supplement their insufficient livelihood add in about bride price and aunts
encouraging girl to do kayaye
POLITICAL AND
ECONOMICS,
Ghana is enjoying
relatively long period of political stability, with the current government
committee to creating job opportunity
for youth and working with civil society to this aim. In the metropolis 1,500
will be benefiting from a 2,2-billion youth in employment programmed which
seeks to address high level of employment in the region so the political
environment is conductive for collaboration between government and donors, NGOs
and other stakeholders
Over the past ten
years, Ghana has experience slow economic growth, with high inflation rates.
Depreciation of the local currency and serious public debt, despite this Ghana is
seen international to be slowly but steadily improving economically and is
attracting increasing level of foreign investment.
Nonetheless,
northern Ghana, comprising the northern region upper west region continues to
lag far behind the rest of the country in terms of development. In the northern
region
