Energy
The main source of lighting of dwelling units
The main sources of lighting of residential units in the Ho Municipality are electricity (61.6%)
and non-electric sources (kerosene lamps, flashlights, and candles) (2.1%). Even though
there is a total coverage of electricity (about 100%), 63.6 percent of the population using
electricity live in urban areas whereas 57.0 percent live in rural areas. The urban household
population which depends on the non-electric source of light accounted for 55.7 percent while
44.3 percent live in rural areas. This high coverage, in the long run, could increase economic
growth, and create more jobs which would eventually reduce the unemployment rate in the
Municipality (StatsBank, 2023).

18
Municipality presents a great potential for tourism and agricultural development which needs
to be exploited for development.
Climate
Generally, Mean Monthly Temperature in the Municipality ranges between 220C to 320C
while Annual Mean Temperature ranges from 16.50C to 37.8oC. In effect, temperatures are
generally high throughout the year which is good for crop farming. The temperatures also
favour the exploitation of renewable forms of energy like solar which is currently not being
exploited.
Rainfall
The rainfall pattern is characterized by two rainy seasons referred to as the major and the
minor seasons. The major season begins from March to June while the minor season is from
July to November. Mean Annual Rainfall figures are between 20.1mm and 192mm. The
highest rainfall occurs in June and has mean value of 192mm while the lowest rainfall is in
November recording a value of 20.1mm. Ho normally experiences very heavy downpours
during the major raining season leading sometimes to floods which occasionally result to loss
of lives and property. It is important that new drains are constructed and the existing ones
reengineered to contain the volume of water. Landlords are also encouraged to undertake
water harvesting to reduce the volume of water that flows out. It will also reduce their water
bills.
Vegetation
Ho Municipality has two main types of vegetation zones. The moist semi-deciduous forest
covers mostly the hills in the Municipality whiles the savannah woodland covers the rest of
the Municipality. The Municipality has 33.83 square kilometres of forest reserve at two main
locations; Ho Hills and Kabakaba Hills. The vegetation of the municipality lends itself to large
scale mechanised farming. The vegetation can support variety of crops such as oil palm,
cassava, rice, cocoa, yam, plantain cowpeas etc.
Soils
19
There are several soil groups in the Ho Municipality put into two major groups: forest soils
and savannah soil. Examples of forest soil are forest ochrosols, lethosols, and intergrades
found in the mountainous and wetter northern areas of the Municipality. The savannah soil
type which is sandy is found in Sokode and part of Ho Township. All these types of soils
support the production of various crops like maize, cassava, yam, rice, oil palm, cocoa, and
so on.
Financial Services
Financial services in the municipality are provided by some main banks, and these include:
SG Bank, Ghana Commercial Bank, National Investment Bank, Barclays Bank, Zenith Bank,
Stanbic Bank, Fidelity Bank, Access Bank, ADB, GN Bank, UniBank, and two Rural Banks.
All these financial institutions are concentrated in Ho, apart from these formal financial
Institutions, informal financial institutions such as Bayport Financial Services and Solidario
Institution and ‘Susu Schemes’ and cooperative groups also exist in the municipality.
Tourism Attractions
There are both natural and man-made features that serve as tourism attraction features in
the municipality. The varied attractions provide the basis for both general and special interest
in tourism. Some of the tourism attractions include an Ancient German Cemetery, Ancient
20
European Church Bell and some old German buildings all of which is located at Ho Kpodzi in
the Ho Municipality. A number of festivals also serve as tourism attraction these include the
Yam festival of the chiefs and people of Asogli State, the Sasa festival of the chiefs and people
of Akrofu, the Zendo festival of the chiefs and people of Klefe. These festivals are typically
associated with colourful durbars of chiefs who are carried in palanquins and accompanied
by drummers, horn blowers, and singers. Traditional drums dance such as Adabatram,
Zagada, Zigi, Borborbor, and Apendja are also used extensively in the municipality.

Challenges in achieving infrastructure development within these sectors include inadequate staffing levels, lack of logistics, and untimely release of funds, which can delay project execution and quality . Strategies to address these challenges include facilitating the formulation of policies, preparing tender documents for projects, and enhancing technical capacities by providing engineering assistance. The department aims to improve living conditions through feeder road construction, enhancing rural housing, and ensuring a stable water supply, which requires an integrated approach to planning and resource allocation .
The Composite Programme Based Budget supports various sub-programs by providing a structured financial framework that aligns with the municipal and national goals. It enables the efficient allocation and utilization of resources across programs such as education, infrastructure, and public health. The main sources of funding include Internally Generated Funds (IGF), Government of Ghana transfers like the District Assemblies’ Common Fund, District Development Facility, and funds from Development Partners . This diverse funding base allows for the implementation of comprehensive plans aiming at holistic development .
Community engagement initiatives are highly effective in the municipal planning and coordination process as they empower local residents to participate in decision-making, leading to more representative and sustainable outcomes. The engagement is facilitated by the strengthened Zonal Councils, which aim to bring greater meaning to the decentralization process and ensure grassroots support in planning and budgeting . This bottom-up approach allows for better resource mobilization and more effective execution of municipal programs .
The Municipal Assembly addresses inclusive urbanization and sustainable human settlement management by implementing land use and spatial planning initiatives under its Physical and Spatial Planning Development sub-program . It supports this with 78,000 GH¢ allocated for seminars, office supplies, and travel costs to improve planning capabilities and public engagement . These activities facilitate informed decision-making and enhance community involvement in urban planning processes, ensuring that urban growth is managed sustainably and inclusively .
The Planning Unit is responsible for strategic planning and ensuring the efficient integration and implementation of public policies and programs, which contributes to sustainable economic growth and development by acting as the secretariat for the Municipal Planning and Coordination Unit (MPCU). The Budget Unit facilitates budget preparation and execution by collating annual estimates from decentralized departments and translates national medium-term programs into specific municipal investment programs. Additionally, it organizes training in budget preparation, financial management, and monitors programs to ensure the economic use of resources .
The General Administration sub-program contributes to political and administrative decentralization by coordinating activities of decentralized departments, providing support services such as transportation and records management, and overseeing security and public relations. This ensures a responsive and inclusive decision-making process by maintaining adequate office equipment and logistics . It supports citizen engagement by expanding opportunities for participation and representation in decision-making at all levels, thereby deepening the decentralization process .
The Birth and Death Registration sub-program contributes to socio-economic development by providing accurate and reliable data on births and deaths, which supports planning and implementation of health and social policies . This data is crucial for understanding demographic changes, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively, and enhancing social services. Additionally, registration and certification processes help in strengthening identity management and access to public services, thereby contributing to overall community well-being .
Challenges faced by the Education, Youth, and Sports Services sub-program include inadequate funding, insufficient staffing levels, untimely release of funds, and lack of office space and logistics . These challenges impact its ability to ensure free, equitable, and quality education by 2030, as they hinder the effective delivery of educational infrastructure improvements, supply of classroom furniture, and training in employable skills. Consequently, this affects the overall enhancement of teaching quality and youth job security .
The sub-program for Environmental Health and Sanitation Services aims to achieve adequate sanitation and hygiene access by managing solid waste, conducting public education and sensitization, and registering operations vehicles . Fiscal allocations include 150,000 GH¢ from the Government of Ghana for goods, services, solid waste management, public education, and vehicle registration .
The funding allocation for Agriculture Services and Management, amounting to 70,000 GH¢, aims to enhance agricultural productivity by supporting extension services, purchase of tools, and infrastructure maintenance . It includes resources for electricity, vehicle maintenance, and public education to facilitate field operations and ensure effective communication with farmers . This comprehensive support structure is designed to improve productivity and sustainability in agricultural practices, ultimately contributing to the economic development of the municipality .
