1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) is one of the Two Hundred and Fifty-Four (254)
Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana and among the Twenty-Six
(26) MMDAs in the Greater Accra Region.
It was established in 1898 but has gone through several changes in terms of name, size and
number of Sub-Metros since then. When Ghana returned to constitutional rule in 1993, it derived
its legal basis from Local Government Act, 1993, (Act 462) currently Local Governance Act,
2017 (ACT 940), and under Legislative Instrument (L.I) 2269
It has an estimated population of about 1,071,945 as per 2010 Population and Housing Census
and about 1Million people who commute to the City on daily basis for wide range of services.
The Assembly currently is made up of six (6) Sub-Metros as follows; Ablekuma South,
Ablekuma Central, Ayawaso Central, Okaikoi South, Osu Klottey and Ashiedu Keteke.
The Assembly has sixteen (16) Departments and other Units with Heads of Departments who all
report directly to the Metro Coordinating Director (MCD) and ultimately to the Metro Chief
Executive (Mayor).
The General Assembly meetings are presided over by the Presiding Member (PM). The General
Assembly has a Membership of 62 comprising of 41 Elected Members, 14 Government
Appointees, 7 Members of Parliament and the Metro Chief Executive who also chairs the
Executive Committee.
In the performance of its functions, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly works through 14 Sub
Committees. These Sub-Committees perform deliberative functions and submit recommendations
to the Executive committee for further deliberation and then to the General Assembly for final
decisions and implementation. The Fourteen (14) Sub-Committees include; Social Services,
Finance & Administration, Development Planning, Revenue Mobilization, Justice & Security,
Education, Works, Environment, Youth & Sports, Disaster Management, Food & Agriculture,
Health, Women & Children.
1.2. AGRICULTURE
There are pockets of small scale agricultural activities such as crop production and livestock
farming within the Metropolis. Agricultural services including veterinary activities, market
extensions, farm and home visits are provided by the Assembly. Fishing is predominant along the
coast particularly within Osu and Chorkor communities. Fishermen are provided with outboard
motors and pre-mix fuel to facilitate their fishing activities.
