CHAPTER THREE DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCES FOR THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Ho Municipal, the largest urban centre in Volta region is noted for its agricultural production with more than 60 % of the people in agriculture and agriculture related ventures.

Demonstration/ Training The community Development unit trained the Godokpe women’s group in Batik tie and dye making on the 9th of February 2016 at Godokpe. The purpose of the training was to expose the women to available opportunities to enhance their economic status by equipping them with employable skills. 32 women and 9 men were part of the demonstration. The demonstration began with a prayer by one of the participants. It was then followed by a brief introduction by the participants. The Participants fetched water and set the place in preparation for the activity. The materials for the tie and dye making were shown to the group in their right proportion after which the demonstration began. Group members stood round the preparation table and critically observed what was going on as some of them asked questions along the line. The dyes were mixed with warm water and the various chemicals were added in their right proportions. The group sang songs and everyone cooperated so well. The first set of dyed fabrics was soon ready for drying and the women had them dried on the grass. They were so amazed how simple the whole process was. The second set of fabrics were folded and dyed by the whole group as the participants took turns to have a feel of the process. The participants were then divided into two groups and each group made its batik tie and dye fabric using their choice of colours. After the main demonstration was done, the community development officers asked the participants to bring their old faded fabrics for dying. The group was taught that they could make their faded fabrics useful again. When the demonstration was over, the group members folded the fabrics and arranged them. Handouts containing the ingredients to use in preparation of the batik tie and dye in their right proportions were distributed to each person for future reference.
Mass Meeting Mawuse Agbogah had two meetings with the Zongo community and introduced them to the department’s activities in January, 2016. The community development officers paid visits to their women’s groups in Sodzikope, Hodzo and Wortsikpo. The unit also visited the Godokpe women’s group to monitor the activities of the group. 60
In the area of CLTS, Sedina Adom with the other urban sanitation core team members had a meeting with the stakeholders in Sokode Gbogame to prepare their action plan and draw the road map towards declaring the whole Sokode Gbogame ODF by 30th October, 2016.
Training Upon the instruction of the Regional Director of community development, sixty women were drawn from eleven (11) communities in the Ho Municipality to undergo a one day training on Hand Washing with soap and water, Household water treatment and Safe storage and construction and demonstration of Tippy- Tap Hand washing facility in the Ho municipality on the 13th of April, 2016. The training was done by two Community Development officers and two Environmental Health officers who went through a two day training/ workshop on the above subject matter. The training was held at Hodzo Sukukpota.
Before the training there was community entry in the following communities to select the sixty females and school girls for the training.
1. Hodzo Achianse- six(6) females 2. Takla Nyekornakpoe- five (5) females 3. Hodzo Wortsikpo- four(4) females 4. Hodzo Ve- six(6) females and four(4) school girls 5.

Ho Wodome- five (5) females and two (2) school girls 9. Hodzo Mitsikasa- two (2) females 10. Hodzo Amavenu- two(2) females 11. Hodzo Lormnava- two(2) females
Registration of Participants began at exactly 9:30am by Sedina Adom and Khadijatu Haruna followed by an opening prayer by a volunteer in the Host community. The Chief of the host community, Togbi Seth Dzimabi , delivered a quick and short welcome address and the opening statement. There was self-introduction by the facilitators and the participants. Expectations were discussed, fears allayed and norms were established which was led by Charlotte Botchway. 61
The objective of the workshop include: Hand washing with soap under running water, Household water treatment and safe Storage and Construction and Demonstration of Tippy- Tap hand Washing Facility. Participants were taken through the importance of Hand washing with soap under running water and the two critical times to wash the hands; after visiting the toilet and before handling food. Participants were taught that, hand washing with soap under running water is the best way to reduce the number of germs on the hands and thus diarrhoea related diseases. Some school girls were also made to participate in the training because, School- age children can be extremely receptive to the promotion of good habits such as tooth- brushing or hand washing and can develop positive attitudes towards the use of sanitary facilities. Children are also known to be good agents of change and they are good at influencing their parents positively to effect change. There was also a short video clip on the consequences of poor sanitation practices which was facilitated by Charlotte Botchway and a nurse from the community called Courage after which there was a snack break.
There was an open forum Segment which allowed participants to seek clarifications about the subject matter and about general sanitation challenges in their respective communities.
After the open forum the participants were taken through the construction of the tippy tap hand washing facility after which the participants went on lunch break. After the program, participants were paid T&T and the training came to an end at exactly 3:30pm.
Monitoring After the training was held, the four facilitators who carried out the training went on monitoring in the eleven communities from who the sixty participants were selected to ensure that they are implementing what they learnt from the one day workshop.
The first monitoring was done on the 18th and 20th of April, 2016 and the second on the 6th and 9th of May, 2016. Before the training, none of the communities was having hand washing facility except Hodzo Wortsikpo and Hodzo Sukukpota.

COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Composite Budget Preparations 2017 Composite budget was prepared and submitted as at 30th October, 2016
Procurement planned and implemented The 2017 procurement plan was prepared, approved and submitted to the Volta Regional Coordinating by the 30th of November, 2016.
Releases from MOFEP During the period, the Assembly received a total amount of GHȼ1,713,418.11 for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters of the 2016 DACF allocations, and is yet to receive that of the 4th quarters of 2014 and 2016 DACF allocations respectively. The untimely release of the DACF affected the Assembly’s efforts in executing its developmental programmes.
For the year 2016, total revenue of GH₵ 15,472,093.07 was projected, with GH₵ 1,742,182.84 as Internally Generated Funds and GH₵ 13,729,910.23 as grants from GoG and donor agencies. The actual revenue mobilized at the end of December 31st, 2015 amounted to GH₵7,437,230.80. This was made up of GH₵ 1,582,092.98 from IGF and GH₵ 5,855,137.82 from GoG and donor partners. Therefore the total revenue generated as at 31st, December, 2015 was 48.07 % of budgeted revenue.
In the area of IGF, 90.81 % was mobilized and for grants, 78.73% was realized during the period.
The total expenditure incurred during the period under review was GH₵ 5,252641.50. Actual recurrent expenditure for the same period was GH₵ 1,552,852.46 representing 87.11% of the actual IGF.
The Assembly performed relatively well. However, the Assembly intends to review its revenue generation measures for the year 2016 and adopt pragmatic strategies that will aim at increasing its IGF base. These strategies included updating its revenue register, strengthening its Zonal councils to support in revenue mobilization by recruiting new staff and posting Service personnel to the councils, train revenue collectors, motivate high performing revenue collectors, provide councils
83 with logistics such as motorbikes, increase public education on the need to honour taxes and intensify supervisory roles on the collectors.
Audit Reports
The Assembly’s financial statement was audited by the Audit Service and report submitted to ARIC for implementation.
