CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
In the bid to fulfil its constitutional mandate of the development of the Asuogyaman District, the
Asuogyaman District Assembly formulated a Medium Term Development Plan (2014-2017), as
enjoined by section 2 (1) of the National Development Planning (systems) Act, 1994, Act 480, to
guide its development agenda. As stipulated by the NDPC guidelines, Annual Action Plans were
teased out to guide each year’s implementation.
The end of December, 2017 marked the fourth and final year of implementation of the DMTDP
(2014-2017). This report generally takes a look at the level of implementation of the 2017 Annual
Action Plan, based on the Monitoring and Evaluation component of the plan. Since 2017 is the
terminating year, the report also accesses the performance and outcome of the entire 4-year Plan
on some specific indicators.
1.2 Purpose of the monitoring and evaluation for the reporting period
Monitoring involves tracking changes in the implementation of planned activities of a
programme/project overtime, while evaluation seeks to determine systematically and objectively
as possible, the relevance, effectiveness and impact of activities in light of their objectives. The
key M&E objectives for the period under review were as follows:
To determine whether a programme/project is on schedule with planned activities
To assess whether a programme/project has produced a desired result
To periodically make judgement about programmes and incorporate lessons learnt into
future decision making and development processes
Assess the level of participation of key stakeholders in the development process including
identifiable groups, institution and communities
Ensure transparency, accountability and efficient use of resources for development
2
STATUS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DMTDP
Proportion of the DMTDP Implemented
About 78.5 % of projects and activities in the 2017 Annual Action Plan was implemented.
Proportion of the overall Medium Term Development Plan that was implemented the entire 4-year
period was 75.2 %.

TOTAL 447 336 111 75.2
1.3 Processes involved in the preparation and difficulties Encountered
Preparation of the progress report started with field monitoring exercise by the District Planning
and Coordinating Unit (DPCU) of the Assembly. This afforded the multi-sector team the
opportunity to access the level of implementation of mainly physical projects and make
recommendations for improvement where necessary. Implementing partners, namely
departments, agencies, institutions and civil society groups were written to submit report on the
progress of their respective sectors and data on specific core indicators.
A review meeting of the DPCU was then held to validate the reports and do an overall
performance assessment of the plan implementation with emphasis on the realization of
objectives, the relevance and effectiveness of projects and programmes. The report was then
finalized and disseminated to the appropriate institutions both within and outside the district.

1.4 Challenges encountered in the implementation of the DMTDP
Some of the challenges encountered in the course implementation of the DMTDP, most of
which are perennial include:
Inadequate or delays in the release of logistics to carry out M&E activities in the District.
A shallow appreciation of the key role of M&E in the overall fulfilment of the mandate of
the District Assembly has resulted in M&E not being prioritized
Inadequate capacity of personnel for M &E activities
Absence of clear objectives and targets within certain sectors of the DMTDP making it
difficult to assess performance
Low quality of report and sometimes failure to report on some indicators by some
departments

CHAPTER TWO
2.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES REPORT
Programme or Project Status for the quarter of year
Monitoring activities were conducted either by individual departments and agencies or collectively through the DPCU. These were undertaken with data collection
instruments provided by the Assembly. Departments, Agencies and institutions were required to report on those activities with emphasis on pre-set core indicators.
Evaluation of the planned programmes was limited to DPCU review meetings which assessed the effectiveness, relevance and outcomes of programmes in the
plan. The proceeding reports are the results of the monitoring and evaluation activities of the Assembly.

Challenges facing farmers
Challenges identified included high cost of inputs, poor road networks, disease and
pest attack on crops and livestock and low prices for farm produce.
Challenges facing the department
Motorbikes and other logistics are needed by field staff in order to be able to effectively
cover more farming communities to facilitate collection of data and dissemination of
agricultural information to stakeholders.
The department also needs timely release of funds to be able to reach out to execute
planned activities on schedule.

Major Challenges
Unavailability of allocated funds for monitoring and supervision, payment of rent and utility
bills, servicing of vehicles and general running of the District Office, puts much pressure on
the Director and on individual officers’ finances. Schools do not have the appropriate/prescribed Science Apparatus. The improvised Apparatus
being used yield inaccurate results. This does not augur well for peak performance in the
subject; and consequently affects BECE and WASSCE results.
The Culture and Sports Grants are too meagre to support the necessary inputs for planned
activities. This greatly affects participation and performance at Zonal and Regional levels.
Textbooks and Teachers’ Guides are not adequately supplied to both Basic and Second Cycle Schools. In view of this, the ideal “one (1) textbook – per child” ratio target has not been achieved.
The District is still battling with poor classroom facilities, inadequate furniture and lack of
teacher accommodation in the underserved areas.

2. Intended beneficiaries have been

3. Objectives underlining such

4. Resources expended on 3 of the

5. Unduly delaying the completion of
project tend to compromise on project
quality
1. Resources should be mobilized
to complete all ongoing
projects before the
commencement of new ones
unless the new ones have
dedicated sources of funding
other than those of the ongoing
projects.
2. In future, the Assembly should
concentrate on and complete
initiated projects before new
ones are brought on board.
3. The design of such projects
should take care of access to
water, a place of convenience,
teachers accommodation etc.
for rural and remote
communities.

CHAPTER THREE
THE WAY FORWARD
3.1 Key Issues Addressed
Sensitization of staff on Local Government Service Protocols
Commitment to staff appraisal system and progression
General attendance and punctuality
3.2 Key Issues Yet to be addressed
Some of the key issues which are yet to be addressed include the following;
Strengthening of sub-district structures
Ceding of collection of some revenue items to the Area Councils has still not seen
much progress
Building of a comprehensive up-to-date revenue database
Valuation of properties
Inadequate logistics for planning, monitoring and evaluation activities.
Poor collaboration between the Assembly and some departments.
Effective implementation of Local Economic Development (LED)
CONCLUSION:
On the whole, 2016 was a relatively successful year. This was in spite of the fact that great
attention was given to electioneering matters for a significant part of the year. It could perhaps
have also proven to be a positive development as there was pressure on leadership to achieve
their targets.
