AHANTA WEST DISTRICT ASSEMBLY
2013 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
1.0 Introduction
The District Monitoring and Evaluation Team (DMET) within the District Planning
Coordinating Unit (DPCU) in the year under review monitored and evaluated the implementation
of Development Policies, Programmes and Projects as outlined in the District Medium Term
Development Plan (DMTDP). In doing this, the DPCU collaborated with Communities,
Government Agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations and other Civil Society Groups in the
District. The DMET instituted an effective and efficient system for tracking the processes of
development activities and projects captured in the DMTDP and other socio-economic
interventions in the entire District. This enabled the generation of timely reports that are reliable
and contain vital information required by the National Development Planning Commission
(NDPC) and the other relevant stakeholders for submission through the Western Regional
Planning Coordinating Unit (RPCU) to the Central Government Agencies to make the right
policies.
The main objective of M&E was to ascertain the level of achievements in the implementation of
development policies, programmes and projects that the District embarked for the year 2013 in
the DMTDP. Again, another objective was to assess whether the programmes and projects
objectives stated are still relevant as well as finding out the reasons for not achieving the stated
objectives.
The major problem was untimely release of needed information from the decentralized
departments.

1.1 Status of DMTDP
Ahanta West District’s MTDP has been prepared to cover a period between 2010 – 2013. The
DMTDP is in its final year of implementation after the 2013 development budget was approved
and adopted by the General Assembly. The final copies of the DMTDP have since been sent to
NDPC and RPCU. In order to implement all the planned policies, programmes and projects in
the DMTDP during the planned period, the D.A must be proactive in terms of its revenue
generation internally and sourcing for adequate funds from the Central Government and other
Development Partners.
2.0 Monitoring and Evaluation Activities Report
The M&E Activities Report includes the following programmes and projects status for the year,
update on disbursements from funding sources as well as update on indicators and targets. Others
include update on Critical Development and Poverty Issues and Participatory M&E.
2.1 Programmes/Projects status for the year
A total of Fifty-Five (55) projects were undertaken in the year under the review. Out of the 55
projects, 31 of them representing 56.4 percent were physical projects. Out of these 31 projects, 6
projects representing 19.4 percent have been completed and are yet to be handed over. The
remaining Twenty-Five (25) representing 80.6 percent are still ongoing and far advanced to be
completed within the current year all things being equal. From the foregoing analysis, one can
conclude that most of the projects are behind schedule. The tables 1 and 2 below represent
details of physical and non-physical projects.

to the Assembly
Comment on sources of funds
1. Release of funds
Release of DACF to the Assembly has been untimely and inappropriate. The release of DACF
in the year under review was not encouraging. In practice, three (3) out of the four (4) quarters
are released within the year under review and the fourth (4th) quarter is released to the
Assemblies within the first (1st) quarter of the following year.
2. Effort to improve IGF
The Assembly has taken steps to improve collection of internally generated fund. These
includes; strengthening the capacity of the of the sub-structure to collect ceded ratable items
14
from their respective Area Councils, prosecution of property rates defaulters as well as
enforcing building regulations as a means of generating income, formation of District Revenue
Taskforce to assist in revenue mobilization, organizing public budget hearings to involve the
local people in the budgeting process , setting of revenue targets for collectors and awarding
hardworking staff, strengthening monitoring and evaluation.
3. Challenges with generation of funds.
The major challenge in IGF generation is the nature of the local economy. Majority of the
people in the District are subsistence farmers with low infrastructure base which makes it
difficult to the needed revenue. Again, due to lack of resources sustaining tax education has
been a problem for the District.

Comments on the Disbursement of Funds
1. Adequacy
15
DACF is not adequate for the Assembly to undertake its development projects. This is
because, the release of DACF comes with many deductions and statutory provisions
making it impossible for the Assembly to meet its budgetary requirement.
2. Utilization of Funds according to Budget
The Assembly tries as much as it can to work with the budgetary allocation, the
directives from the Central Government sometimes put pressure on the Assembly to
deviate from its budget.
3. Challenges
The directives from the Central Government make the Assembly to deviate from the
budgetary allocation. Again, the disbursement procedures for the MPs Common Fund
are not followed, thus making accounting for those funds difficult. Another challenge is
also the unforeseen situations which are equally important to address. Also, late release
of the DACF and other external funds makes it difficult to fully implement planned
projects and programmes.

These interventions by Government have relieved parents and guardians the expenditure that
would have been incurred by them thus increasing their disposable incomes on other items hence
improving on the levels of living of the beneficiary communities.
D. Special Challenges with the implementation of the District M & E Plan
The main challenges in the implementation of the District M & E Plan are untimely release of
funds and irregular deductions from DACF at source. This makes it difficult for the D/A to meet
all its financial obligations. Besides, capacity level of the DPCU members in carrying out M & E
activities and project management is low.
E. The Ghana School Feeding Programme
The Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) is a government initiative to encourage
enrolment in schools particularly among public basic schools. It was instituted in July, 2006.
Currently, 18 basic schools are on-board the programme and pupils are fed in the beneficiary
schools in the District. The programme has created employment for private individuals and
currently 20 caterers are engaged in the catering services to the beneficiary schools.
23
In spite of the tremendous impact of the programme in terms of boosting-up enrolment, it is
beset with a lot of challenges such as delays in the release of funds for the caterers, inadequate
kitchen facilities for the caterers and overwhelming increase in enrolment in beneficiary schools.
The table 8 below indicates the list of beneficiary schools and number of pupils enrolled on the
programme in each cluster in the District. Total amount of Four Hundred and EighteenThousand,
Three Hundred and Seventy-Two Ghana Cedis and Twenty Pesewas was paid to the Caterers
(GHs 418,372.20) for their services rendered to the beneficiary schools.

Guinea Worm is not prevalent in the District.
G. Incentives for Business Development in the District
The proximity of the District to the commercial city of Western Region, Takoradi enhances
business and trade in the District. In order to promote the activities of local artisans, the
Assembly has acquired Fifty (50) acres of land to be developed as Light Industrial Area. Out of
this, Twenty –Three (23) acres have been completed as 1st phase of the project. The 1st phase is
being done by the D/A in collaboration with GTZ. Utility Service lines have been extended to
the site.
Besides, the current discovery of oil in the waters of Cape Three Point Basin of Western Region
and its prospective development of Down Stream Oil Industry has motivated both local and
international investors into the District to acquire land for industrial and commercial
establishments. The District have put measures in place to expedite its permitting process, in lieu
of this both the Technical and Statutory Planning Committees have been scheduled to meet every
fortnight to review proponent’s applications in order to approve development permit to
prospective developers on time.
Again, the District has been enrolled onto the Rural Enterprise Project. This project will ensure
the creation of a Business Advisory Center (BAC) and the Rural Technology Facility. The
Business Advisory Center will advise small scale businesses in order to make them more
efficient whiles the Rural Technology Facility will establish machine shop to facilitate the work
of local artisans such as fitters and welders
H. Land under Irrigation
The District Directorate of MOFA is awaiting a result from feasibility studies conducted by
Irrigation Development Authority in the last quarter of 2008.

2.5 Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation
Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (P.M & E) is one of the most valuable tools used to
capture perceptions and assess whether the planned development interventions introduced have
met the beneficiaries’ expectations, notably the poor and vulnerable in the society.
For an effective P.M & E, the DPCU educated and also raised awareness among the beneficiaries
by involving them in the selection of achievable indicators to monitor the intervention set in
motion.
The major activity the DPCU undertook under participatory M & E was the promotion of
partnerships between the District Assembly and identified stakeholders in participatory
Monitoring and Evaluation methods.
For social analysis and participatory impact assessment, the DPCU adopted Focus Group
Discussions (F.G.Ds) as the main P.M & E tool and methodology.
2.6 The Way Forward
The District Assembly is making effort to generate more internally generated fund to support its
activities. Again, members of the DPCU are sensitized to appreciate the work of DPCU.
However, there are other issues to be addressed; the irregular deductions from the DACF and
directives from the Central Government as well as Capacity building of DPCU members in M &
E activities in project management.
2.6.2 Recommendation
The following recommendations are however made to ensure full implementation of
development policies, programmes and projects in the DMTDP;
26
� The District Administration has taken advantage of capacity building component of the
DDF to build the capacity of DPCU members including M & E and project management
skills.
� The implementation of Composite Budget must properly be coordinated by bringing all
relevant stakeholders on board at the same time during training sessions.
� The irregular deductions from the DACF as a result of unplanned purchases on behalf of
the D/As should be stopped.
