Greater Accra Metropolitan Area Sample Clauses

Greater Accra Metropolitan Area. The Government of Ghana, the World Bank and other partners emphasized the urgent need for intervention in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA). As an industrial centre, GAMA accommodates a significant number of manufacturing activities and provides employment to an increasing migrant population, who are attracted to find jobs. In the region, physical development is taking place much faster than urban planning and consequently, coping with this asynchrony becomes a central challenge for the future development of the city. Unresolved land ownership issues have left communities without any affordable solution to housing and therefore, slums grow in sites where land uses are not defined or in abandoned areas (e.g. rail ways, waterfront, and old downtown). The Accra Metropolitan Area (AMA), which is one of the eight urban districts that collectively make up GAMA, is by far the biggest in terms of both population and economic activity. AMA is a major centre for manufacturing, marketing, finance, transportation and tourism. The service sector employs a little over half a million people. AMA alone according to the 2000 census represents 25% of all urban dwellers in Ghana, increasing at 4.2 percent per annum. In addition, unresolved land ownership issues have contributed to sprawl which has left the city with unplanned systems such as transport, public spaces, urban environment and housing. As a result, the metropolitan region suffers inadequate coverage of urban services, high travel times and congestion, flooding due to malfunctioning drainage networks as well as environmental health related matters which most significantly affect the poor. Moreover, as in many other metropolitan areas around the world, local governments of GAMA face challenges when managing the different districts and their jurisdictions. Specifically, the necessity of coordination, integration and harmonization in planning, fiscal and land use systems has been identified. Because the region will continue attracting people to the urban 3 Support to secondary and tertiary cities via the “Urban Back Up initiative” centres with the expectations of finding jobs and supporting their livelihoods, it is a priority to respond to present demands and strengthen the institutional capacities of local authorities and systems to plan for future developments.
