CHAPTER ONE – GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.0 Background
The District Planning Coordinating Unit (DPCU) as part of its mandate is to prepare timely Annual Progress Reports to reflect the state of implementation of all planned development programmes/projects as contained in the previous year’s Composite Annual Action Plan (2016).
In doing so, the DPCU collaborated effectively with relevant stakeholders such as Communities, Government Agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations and other Civil Society Groups in the District to track the processes of development activities and projects captured in the DMTDP as well as other socio-economic interventions in the District. This enabled the generation of reports and recommendations for policy formulation and implementation.
1.1 Purpose of the M and E for the Year under Review
The importance of Monitoring and Evaluation cannot be underestimated as it serves as a key component in measuring the level of achievements in the implementation of development policies, (programmes and projects) during the year under review.
It also enables us know challenges which hamper project implementations and derive some lessons for re-planning purposes.
The District Assembly must however be proactive in terms of its revenue generation both internally and externally in order to be effective and efficient in improving living standards of the populace.
1.2 Processes Involved and Difficulties Encountered
The processes in preparing the APR involved; monitoring and evaluation of all developmental projects specified in the Annual Action Plan (2016), sending templates on District Core Indicators to all departments concerned and organizing M and E review meeting to measure
MDA, DPCU, 2016 Page 1 implementation of projects and programmes as against set targets. In doing so, challenges and strengths were also identified to inform future decisions.
The main challenge is getting timely and adequate feedback from some departments.
MDA, DPCU, 2016 Page 2
CHAPTER TWO - MONITORING AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES
2.0 Introduction This chapter discusses M&E Activities which includes programmes and projects status for the year, update on disbursements from funding sources as well as update on indicators and targets. Others include update on Critical Development and Poverty Issues and Participatory M&E.
2.1 Programmes/Projects status for the Year The total numbers of planned programmes/projects in the Annual Action Plan for the year under review are Ninety-Four (94). Out of these, Forty (40) of the projects/programmes are physical whiles the remaining Fifty-Four (54) are non-physical. By the end of the year under review, a total of Fifty-Six (56) programmes/projects in the Annual Action Plan representing 59.6% were implemented or being implemented and Forty-Four (44) programmes/projects representing 40.4% were yet to be implemented.
Considering the projects/programmes under the GSGDA II, it can be realized from the thematic areas captured that,

2.2.1 Comment on Sources of Funds
2.2.1.1 Release of funds
Release of DACF to the Assembly has been untimely and inappropriate. The release of DACF in the year under review was not encouraging. This is because, three (3) out of the four (4) quarters are so far released and the fourth (4th) quarter is normally released to the Assembly within the first (1st) quarter of the following year. This turns to affect programme/project orientation.
2.2.1.2 Effort to improve IGF The Assembly has taken steps to improve collection of internally generated fund. These includes; organizing public budget hearings to involve the local people in the budgeting process so as to motivate the citizens to voluntary pay their rates, setting of revenue targets for collectors and monitoring and evaluation.
MDA, DPCU, 2016 Page 24
2.2.1.3 Challenges with generation of funds.
The major challenge in IGF generation is the nature of the local economy. Majority of the people in the District are subsistence farmers with low infrastructure base which makes it difficult to generate the needed revenue. Again, due to lack of resources, there is not a dedicated vehicle for revenue mobilization, regular tax education has been a problem for the District.

2.2.2 Challenges with the Disbursement of Funds
The late release of the DACF and other external funds makes it difficult to fully implement planned projects and programmes within the specific time period.
2.3 Core District Indicators Indicators are quantitative and qualitative factors or variables that provide a simple and reliable basis for assessing achievement, change or performance. They are units of information measured over time that can help show changes in a specific condition. Table 1.4 shows the District Core Indicators to be measured, the baseline of 2014 figures, the 2016 District targets and 2016 District indicator levels for the respective thematic areas. Some of the baseline figures for the indicators could not be obtained because there were No Reliable Data (NRD) on them.

2.4.5 Disaster Management
MDA, DPCU, 2016 Page 39
The main activity carried out was awareness creation on disaster prevention. This was carried out through visitation of churches and mosques, public education on radio and organization of community durbars.
One main challenge of the unit is lack of official vehicle which creates a lot of inconveniences towards attainment of results.
2.4.6 Agriculture
The main Agriculture activities carried out from January to December, 2016 were;
Demonstration of 9 technologies to farmers. These demonstrations included; Crop technologies (correct use of agrochemicals), Livestock technologies (Animal housing and nutrition), soil fertility improvement and vegetable production. In all, 2,641 farmers comprising of 1,746 males and 895 females benefited from such activity
The District also benefited from the project to enhance access of quality rice seeds to farmers. This was embarked by the Department of Crop services under the Ministry of Food and Agriculture with support from World Bank.
Farmers were enlightened on safe and correct use of agro-chemicals, criteria for selecting award winners for farmers’ day and bush fire control and management, soil and water conservation.
The 32ND National Farmers day celebration took place at Ayiem with the theme Agriculture, a Business response to Economic Growth. 25 deserving farmers were awarded with various prizes during and 200 exhibitors were also given consolation prizes.
With regards to HIV/AIDS, 2,185 farmers of which women constituted 27% were sensitized on HIV/AIDS preventive measures.
External factors which impacted on agriculture performance were: fuel price increment, illegal mining, illegal logging and pockets of flooding at lowlands in Ayiem.
Challenges Confronting the Sector;
MDA, DPCU, 2016 Page 40
Lack of funds for fuel making coverage by the extension agents difficult Increase in fuel prices which resulted in high cost of inputs hence high cost of production. Inadequate Agriculture Extension Officers (AEO) at post (only 3) Lack of logistics (motor bikes) for Extension oOficers
Recommendations
Timely approval and release of fund for DADUs activities in order to ensure effectiveness and sustainable food security Government should place more subsidies on agro-chemicals to make it affordable More AEO should be employed More logistics should be made available to enable AEO carry out their work effectively.
2.4.6 Incentives for Business Development
The proximity of the District Capital to the commercial city of Western Region, is a great potential to enhance business and trade in the District.
Also, the District has been enrolled onto the Rural Enterprise Project since 2013. This project will ensure the creation of a Business Advisory Center (BAC) whose main focus will be to accelerate the creation of new and innovative businesses and also improve the operations of existing ones.
The Table below summarizes the activities organized by the Rural Enterprise Programme during 2016 with the aim of creating employment and reducing poverty.

2.5 Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation
The Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) tools is used to capture perceptions and assess whether interventions have met expectations of beneficiaries especially the poor and vulnerable in communities where programmes/projects are being or have been implemented.
The District Planning Coordinating Unit (DPCU) members together with the Assembly members of the various project areas as well as beneficiaries monitored progress of work in relation to the programmes/projects implemented.
Some Challenges with the implementation of programmes/project are; Untimely release of funds which result in the delays in execution of some projects and programmes.
The bad nature of most roads affects productivity and also impedes the implementation of developments projects
2.6 The Way Forward
One of the main issues addressed is the commencement of the construction of the DCE’s Bungalow after it was suspended. Work is in-progress. Also, culvent to Wiredukrom has now been fixed to enable the contractor convene the rig to site to complete the borehole component of the CHPS Compound
This notwithstanding, some issues not addressed include; the six (6) abandoned GETfund projects inherited from Mpohor Wassa East District thereby not serving their intended purposes. Also, the Mpohor-Kejebril road is still in deplorable shape
MDA, DPCU, 2016 Page 43
2.6.1 Recommendation
The following recommendations are however made to ensure full implementation of development policies, programmes and projects in the DMTDP;
The District Administration has to take advantage of capacity building component of the DDF to build the capacity of DPCU members in areas such as M & E and project Implementation and management skills. The irregular deductions from the DACF and untimely release of funds should be halted stopped because it impedes progress in the implementations of project/programmes The improvement of access roads should be one of the priorities of the D.A especially the main road to the District Capital.
