1.3 SUMMARY OF PROGRAMME/PROJECTS STATUS

Out of the 301 projects and programmes planned for the year, 2015 (98.4%) were either fully implemented or were ongoing whilst 5 (1.6%) could not been implemented due to shortfall in inflow of funds especially the DACF. It is however important to note that the MA and its departments showed high level of commitment in the implementation of the AAP as, as much as 98.4% of the projects and programmes outlined in the AAP were either completed or at various levels of completion by end of December 2015.

1.4 PURPOSE OF M&E FOR THE STATED PERIOD

1. To assess whether the project is having the planned impact in order to decide whether or not to replicate the model elsewhere. 2. To assess the programme in terms of effectiveness, impact on the target group, efficiency and sustainability in order to improve its functioning. 3. Assess whether or not developmental goals, objectives and targets of the MTDP are being met. 4. Identify achievements, constraints and failures so that improvements can be made to the MTDP and project designs to achieve better impact. 5. Provide information for effective co-ordination of the MTDP. 6. Provide Municipal Authorities, the Regional Co-ordinating Council, Government, Development Partners, community project management teams and the general public with better means of learning from past experience. 7. Improve service delivery and influence allocation of resources in the municipality and demonstrate results as part of accountability and transparency to the people and stakeholders within the municipality. 8. Reinforce ownership of the MTDP and build M&E capacity within the municipality.

1.5 PROCESSES INVOLVED AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT (APR)

The 2015 APR was prepared by the Municipal Planning Co-ordinating Unit (MPCU) with inputs from the decentralized departments and other development partners working within the Municipality. Monitoring and evaluation data were collected from both primary and secondary sources to assess the level of implementation of projects and programmes as contained in the 2015 Annual Action Plan.

Primary data were obtained through the quarterly monitoring exercises carried out by the MPCU and other stakeholders on projects and programmes implemented in the municipality by the Municipal Assembly (MA), decentralized departments, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Central Government and other development partners. Quarterly and Annual Progress Reports from Decentralized Departments, Subverted Agencies, Development Partners, Non- Governmental Organizations among others which were compiled constituted data from the secondary sources. 16

The Municipal Planning Coordinating Unit collated, analyzed and interpreted all data collected from key stakeholders at various review meetings.

A stakeholders’ review meeting was organised on the Annual Progress Report on Wednesday 24th February, 2016 at the Municipal Assembly Hall, Goaso to update and share the APR with stakeholders.

The successful preparation of this report was not without challenges. Some of the challenges encountered were:

 Inadequate logistical (vehicle for M&E) and financial support for effective M&E.  Absence of M&E units/focal persons within some decentralized departments to readily provide M&E information.  Untimely submission of progress reports from decentralized departments and other stakeholders to facilitate preparation of the APR.  Inadequate disaggregation of municipal data.

2.3 Update on Funding and Disbursement

2.3.1 Update on Funding/Revenue

Within the year, the MA mobilized and received funding from various sources to finance its programmes and projects. The sources and quantum of funds mobilized and received from various sources are indicated in table 5 below.

Table 5: Sources of Funding the Municipal Assembly (2013-2015)

2014 2015 Funding Source 2013 Actual Variance Budget Actual Variance

DACF 758,219.91 826,271.64 (1,286,174.36) 2,530,520.65 2,401,812.19 128,708.46

From the table above, total revenue received by the Municipal Assembly for 2015 increased from GHȼ5,297,481.21 in 2014 to GHȼ6,326,576.11, that is by 8.85%. Out of the total inflow, DACF constituted 38%; GOG Grants was 9.02% whilst IGF and Donor Fund formed 14.90% and 38.08 % of the total revenue respectively.

However it is important to note that resource inflows into the municipality for 2015 were generally not encouraging. Actual revenue of GHȼ6,326,576.11fell below the budgeted revenue of GHȼ9,705,768.32 by GHȼ3,379,192.26 (8.85%). This undoubtedly negatively affected implementation of the MA’s projects and programmes within the year.

2.3.1.1 Comments on Efforts to generate funds (IGF)

To improve local revenue generation, the MA took a number of measures including;

1. Prosecution of tax defaulters. 2. Rehabilitation of a pickup for the monitoring of revenue collection. 3. Procurement of 4 Motorbikes for revenue supervisors to monitor revenue collection/ collectors 4. Carried out periodic spot checks at revenue stations. 5. Constructed barriers at all entry points. 26

6. The MA initiated processes to develop database on revenue items 7. The MA formed revenue mobilization task force which improved revenue collection

2.3.1.2 Challenges with regards to generating funds (IGF)

1. Poor nature of feeder roads seriously affected patronage of the weekly markets thus revenue generated from market tolls. 2. Inadequate motorbikes and vehicles to facilitate education, supervision and monitoring of revenue mobilization. 3. Payment of low property rates due to lack of re-valuation of landed properties. 4. Lack of reliable database for realistic budgeting. 5. Low capacity of revenue collectors. 6. Misconception about the use of IGF by the tax payers affected their attitude towards tax payments. 7. Malpractice among some revenue collectors.

2.3.2 Update on Disbursement

The table below shows a corresponding update on disbursement of funds received by the MA between 2010 and 2015.

Table 6: Update on Disbursement

Expenditure Item Year 2013 2014 2015 Budget (GHȼ) Actual (GHȼ) Budget (GHȼ) Actual (GHȼ) IGF - use for goods & services 246,595.62 487,300.00 440,533.18 820,500.00 860,103.45 Use of Goods and Services-GOG 110,313.11 108,380.00 116,934.92 129,500.00 85,848.16 Special Project/HIPC 16,202.40 30,000.00 8,982.89 50,000 18,646.50 Non-Financial Assets - - - TOTAL EXPENDITURE (GHȼ) 373,111.13 625,680.00 566,450.99 1,000,000.00 964,598.11

From the above table, it can be seen that the Assembly spent within its budget as its expenditures of GHȼ 964,598.11 was lower GHȼ1,000,000.00.

2.3.2.1 Comments on Adequacy of funds

As indicated in table 5 above, resource inflows into the municipality for 2015 were generally poor. Actual revenue of GHȼ6,326,576.11 fell below the budgeted revenue of GHȼ9,705,768.32 by GHȼ3,379,192.21 (34.82%). This undoubtedly negatively affected implementation of the MA’s projects and programmes within the year.

2.3.2.2 Comments on Utilisation of funds in accordance with the budget

The Assembly spent generally within its budget with about 98% of the MA’s expenditures within its budget.

2.3.2.3 Challenges with regards to disbursements of funds

Despite the availability of an approved budget, often management was compelled to re-allocate the available funds to meet other competing and challenging demands that were not captured in the budget especially in the cases of disasters,

2.5 UPDATE ON CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY ISSUES

The Municipal Assembly is implementing a number of development programmes introduced by the government as a measure to reduce poverty in the municipality. They include:

2.5.1 The Ghana School Feeding Programme

Under the School Feeding Programme, a number of schools benefitting from the programme increased from 4 in 2010 to 16 in 2015. Similarly, school enrolment increased from 2,465 in 2010 to 4,343 in 2015.

(Note: KG is mainstreamed into the primary schools but for analysis sake it has been separated)

For the year 2014, a total amount of GH¢102,819.00 covering only two trenches (1st and 2nd terms) was received and disbursed to the various schools in the municipality with the third trench outstanding whilst in 2015 the grant of GH¢51,409.5 and GH¢50,853.00 summing up to a tune of GH¢102,262.5 covering only two trenches (1st and 2nd terms of the 2014-2015 academic year) was received and disbursed, that was a decrease of (0.27) % below that of the 2013. The 3rd term trench of 2014-2015 academic year as well as the 1st and 2nd terms trench of the 2015-2016 academic years are still outstanding.

2.5.3 National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS)

From the table above, it could be seen that there is a vast decrease in the enrollment figures in 2015 as against 2014 which stands at 54,928 and 111,354 respectfully. This occurs as a result of the following reasons: 1. In the previous years, magnetic cards were used in the registration process so it was faster as it requires just fixing stickers. Currently, the biostatical data of every individual is taken and it demands the scanner to pick all the finger prints hence time consuming. 2. Also, there is lack of connectivity in some surrounding Communities. The biometric process of registration requires the use of network of which there is none in communities and as a result the indigence have to travel to the Municipal Capital (Goaso) for registration instead of the officers going to the Communities to capture them.

3. Another reason for the fall in the enrollment figures was that, there is frequent down time. This occurs as a result of network connectivity since the network could go off for halve or whole day which results in no output or work done for the day. 4. Again, inadequate transportation is another factor contributing to the low performance of enrollment in the Municipality. There are insufficient vehicles for data collectors to travel to Communities to take data. Only one vehicle is available at the moment which is not enough to work in other to meet the set target. 5. Lastly, there is occasional shortage of consumables. Sometimes the scheme could run out of cards and ribbings for registration which hinders the progress of work. 2.5.4 Livelihood Empowerment against Poverty (LEAP)

The LEAP programme aims at providing unconditional cash transfers to support the extremely poor households. These are people who have no means of livelihood or limited productive capacity. The three category of beneficiaries of LEAP are OVCs, Severely disabled people and people aged 65yearrs and above but without productive assets. The LEAP programme which was launched in the Municipality in May 2015 saw GH¢15,340 distributed to 181 households out of the 186 registered in the 16 beneficiary communities in the municipality as detailed out in the table below.

2.5.5 Support to People with Disability (PWD)

In 2014, the MA effectively distributed PWD’s share of the DACF received totaling GHȼ54,993.00 to them. This went into key areas of requests made by the PWDs including educational, business and health issues. In 2015 a total amount of GHȼ27,500.00 was also received and distributed to 81 beneficiaries constituting 39 males and 42 females respectively. Other materials were also supplied and distributed to the People with Disability (PWD).

2.6 EVALUATION AND PARTICIPATORY MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E)

During the period under review, the following activities were undertaken:

 Quarterly stakeholders’ review meetings on the implementation of the Municipal Medium Term Development plan were organized.  The Municipal Planning Co-ordinating Unit (MPCU) held its quarterly meetings to review implementation of the Annual Action Plan.  The MPCU carried out four quarterly participatory monitoring with key stakeholders including Hon. Assembly Members, Chiefs and Opinion Leaders, CSOs and beneficiary communities and units.  The Municipal Assembly organized accountability fora such as Town Hall Meetings in the communities.  A stakeholders’ review meeting was organized on on 24th February on the Annual Progress Report.

To facilitate and promote Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E), the MPCU vigorously involved key stakeholders and beneficiaries in the M&E. They were the Decentralized Departments, the Six Zonal Councils, NGOs (Care International, Ghana), all the three paramountcies in the Municipality and the Disable Society. The rest were Market Women Associations, Beauticians and Hairdressers Association, Tailors and Dressmaker Association. The MPCU actively partnered the aforementioned stakeholders in the monitoring and evaluating of the Municipal Annual Action Plan to promote transparency and accountability in project implementation.

To promote and sustain PM&E, methods like Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), Citizen Report Card and Community Score Card were used to enable them monitor projects and programmes implemented.
