Struggling with the last few:

4d Money from west of Africa one passed on to the north (4)
C---
COIN? Can't see why though

5d Half the cheese sandwiches poor, ultimately: stay for local delicacy (10)
M---I-E-Z-

6d Lean on football adminstrators to open centre for volunteers (3-3)
N-N-A-T
NONFAT? I can see how that could mean lean, but don't get the rest of clue if that's right

9a In the past, smoking a joint has taken minutes not hours (9)
A-M-U----

11a Local itching to get men out of local employment (6)
E-K-N-

Thanks in advance!

4d Cedi

[Captain2]

5d Morbidezza

[bulliver]

6d non-fat = 'on' + 'FA' (Football Association) inside 'nt' (centre letters of 'voluNTeers')

[sandyRoe]

on FA in NT...middle letters of centre

[milkmeister]

Don't understand why on either CEDI or MORBIDEZZA, but thank you. It gives me 9ac anyway as ASMOULDER. NONFAT now is all clear!

Last one is EWKING

[milkmeister]

Ah yes, I see. Thanks one and all for the rapid response.

[bulliver]

4d Cedi (as given by Captain2) = 'i' (one) + 'dec'(eased) reversed ('going north')

[roslyn251254]

5d half the cheese = mozza(rella)
R(ultimate letter of poor)
stay = bide as in bide your time

[roslyn251254]

asmoulder - the H in shoulder turns to S

[mike11111]

5d is MOZZA(RELLA) around R (last letter of poor) and BIDE (stay).
