    CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION This document is the sixth Annual Progress Report (APR), and an assessment of the progress of implementation of the development plan developed for the district covering the period January 2017 - December 2017. The Development Plan was prepared from the government’s Medium- Term National Development Policy Framework - The Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (GSGDA II), 2014-2017 with the underlying theme as socio-economic transformation, which involves a change in structure and composition of the national output in ways that enhance broad-based, inclusive and sustainable growth. The 2017 APR has been prepared from the assessment of the status of indicators and targets adopted for monitoring the progress of key policy and programme interventions. It also documents key policy measures and strategies implemented during the year to bring about the expected change in indicators. 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE MONITORING AND EVALUATION FOR THE STATED PERIOD The purpose of this document is to assess key policy measures and strategies implemented during the year to bring about the expected change in indicators. 1.2 SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DMTDP Monitoring visits to project sites were organized. Four District Planning Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU) meetings and site meetings were organized, and public fora to improve social accountability in the district. Public hearings were also organized in all the Area Councils. In as much as the implementation of the Medium Term Development Plan saw a lot of progress, it was not without challenges. Some challenges were met during the implementation period.
