1.1.5 THE ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT

The Annual Progress Report for the period under review was prepared by the DPCU in fulfilment of the NDPC regulation. It is a comprehensive report on the status of development projects/programmes on-going in the Assembly from 1st

January to 31st December, 2016.

The 2016 Annual Action Plan was prepared based on the Ghana Shared Growth and

Development Agenda which spans from 2014 to 2017. The policy framework has seven thematic areas which included among other things Ensuring and Sustaining

Macroeconomic Stability; Enhancing Competitiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector;

Accelerated Agricultural Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resource Management;

Oil and Gas Development; Infrastructures, Energy and Human Settlements Development;

Human Development, Productivity and Employment and Transparent and Accountable

Governance.

During the period under review, the District focused on three major areas of the plan. These were human development, transparent and accountable governance and infrastructure development.

A programme was drawn for the Monitoring Team to visit some of the physical project sites to monitor the progress of implementation. Other information especially with regard to the non-physical projects were provided by the various departmental heads as part of their quarterly progress reports. The information collected were analyzed and a report compiled for presentation to the DPCU and management.

The following members mainly formed the Monitoring Team: Joseph Adjorlolo - Dist. Works Engineer

Daniel Nelson Dei - District Finance Officer

Daniel Delo - Dist. Budget Officer

1.4 Challenges

Some of the difficulties faced included:

 Inadequate funding.

 Lack of adequate data (baseline data)

 Inadequate involvement of the DA in GOG projects/programmes.

 Late submission of reports by decentralized department

 Logistics such as vehicles are not available for monitoring. It was also difficult assembling members of the DPCU for monitoring since they are all in different offices far away from the office of the District Assembly

 Most of the DPCU members have the educational qualification but only need specific and targeted training areas to be able to undertake M&E

 There is no Secretariat for DPCU but the office of the District Planning Officer is being used as the secretariat.

 Incentives are not normally given to Monitoring and Evaluation Officers during or after the process.
