A Monitoring and Evaluation Plan has also been prepared to provide a guide for monitoring and assessing the implementation and performance of the MTDP. The 2015 annual report is the second assessment of the implementation of the four (4) year Municipal Development Plan (MTDP 2014-2017). 1.2 Purpose of 2015 Annual Progress Report The main purpose of the 2015 Annual Progress Report is to assess and evaluate the performance of the Assembly, review and provide information on the impacts and achievements of the municipality based on the objectives set out in the Medium Term Development Plan (2014-2017) and Monitoring Plan (2014-2017) in relation to the policies, programmes and projects targeted for the year 2015 and to find out the challenges faced in the implementation of the programmes and the projects outlined in the Annual Action Plan and Composite budget. 1.3 Processes involved in the Preparation of Annual Progress Report for 2015 and problems uncounted The process of preparing the 2015 Annual Progress Report was done in a participatory manner with the involvement of all sectors and departments. Inputs of all key sectors and departments have been incorporated in the report. The Municipal Planning and Coordinating Unit (MPCU) and the Planning Unit being the technical wing of the Assembly provided technical support as well as co-ordinated the collation and harmonization of data for the preparation of the report. Before data were collected, templates of the performance indicators and activities outlined for the year 2015 of the various departments were sent to them to filled and updated after which the planning unit harmonized these data into a composite document for the report. An MPCU meeting was organized to validate the report. 1 The following problems were encountered in preparing the Fourth Quarter Progress Report; - Inconsistencies in some of the data collected - Inadequate data from decentralized departments in the Municipality - Lack of baseline data for setting targets/indicators making it difficult to measure progress as may be required - Late submission of report for harmonization by the various departmental heads and non-submission of reports by some departments 2 CHAPTER TWO MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E) ACTIVITIES 2.1 Introduction The M&E activities report provides an effective and efficient system for tracking the progress of programmes and projects being implemented in the Municipality and to generate timely reports to the Municipal Assembly, NDPC and other stakeholders. The M&E activities report further assists to: - Assess whether MTDP 2014 – 2017 targets are being met - Identify achievements, constraints and failures so that improvements could be made to the MTDP 2014– 2017 such that projects could be designed to achieve better impact - Provide information for effective co-ordination by the Municipal Assembly, regional coordinating Council, NDPC, etc. - Provide Municipal Authorities, the Government, Development Partners and the general public with better means for learning from past experiences - Improve service delivery and influence allocation of resources in the Municipality and demonstrate results as part of accountability and transparency. - Reinforce ownership of the MTDP (2014-2017) and build M&E capacity within the Municipality. 2.2 Status of implementation of programmes and projects 2.2.1 Status of Implementation of Annual Action Plan 2015 Table 2.1 below shows the level of programmes and project implementation in the 2015 Annual Action Plan (AAP). 3 Table 2.1 Implementation Status of 2015 Annual Action Plan Project/Activities Location Indicators Implementation Status Monitor construction activities ensure local Status of transit terminal project Project is 70% complete.

    OFFINSO MUNICIPALITY Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Offinso Municipality one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

IMORO BRAIMAH ...…….……………. …………...… (HEAD OF DEPARTMENT) SIGNATURE DATE 2 ABSTRACT Population trends currently indicate that more than half of Ghana’s population currently lives in urban areas. The pressures of urbanization and fast growing population of the cities have therefore impacted on land management. This study analyzed land management practices in Accra and Kumasi in view of rapid urbanization. The study analyzed issues such as the operation of the land markets in the cities – trend of land use, ownership and land values, sources and process of land acquisition. Customary land ownership in the two cities constitutes about 90%. The value of land in Accra is relatively higher than in Kumasi.

Ed Mosby our American missionary in Accra, Ghana for coordinating the information in this directory. It is suggested that all W.B.S. teachers notify their students of the information concerning the church nearest them, so they can go to the brethren for further instruc­ tion and baptism. It is not logical to expect the local preachers to contact the thousands of students, but the people can go to the brethren all over Ghana. The preachers in Ghana who were contacted were in accord with this plan and will give full cooperation. TIMES OF SERVICES: Most congregations in Ghana meet at 9:00 a.m.
