EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The production of this document - Annual Progress Report (APRs) is based on the assessment of
progress made in the implementation of projects and programmes outlined in the Medium Term
Development Plan for the period 2016.
The Annual Progress Report for the period (i.e. 2016) has been prepared based on the assessment
of the status of indicators and targets for monitoring and evaluation. This report also focuses on
the achievements and impact of the major projects and Programme and interventions under taken
during the period under review.
The objectives of the Annual Progress Report for the year 2016 are to:
Provide a single source of information on progress the District is making through the
implementation of the Medium Term Development Plan.
Identify the difficulties encountered in the achievement of the objectives of the MTDP.
Propose recommendations for addressing the challenges.
The Annual progress Report (2016) submitted by the Akatsi North District Assembly is divided
into three chapters
The first chapter presents the key monitoring and evaluation objectives for the year, 2016,
processes involved and difficulties encountered in the preparation of the document and status of
implementation of the DMTDP (2014 - 2017).
Chapter two deals with the programmes/ projects status for the year, update on disbursements from
funding sources, update on indicators and targets, update on critical Development and Poverty
Issues, and Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation.
Chapter three covers key issues addressed and those yet to be addressed and recommendations.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The Akatsi North District Assembly was established by Legislative instrument (LI) 2161 of 2012.
The District exists to improve upon the living conditions of the people through the mobilization of
human, material and financial resources in the provision of basic amenities.
To really understand and break the poverty cycle or the under development which pertains to the
District, it is important to identify and critically study the physical environment within which the
people live, as it contributes to a great extent the kind of economic activities and occupations
present in the area and subsequently the income levels of the people.
The output of the study resulted in identifying the sort of projects and programmes earmarked for
implementation in the MTDP during the period, 2016.
1.1 THE KEY MONITORING AND EVALUATION OBJECTIVE FOR THE YEAR.
The main objectives of Monitoring and Evaluation is to institute an effective and efficient system
for tracking the progress of programmes and projects in the district, and generate timely reports to
NDPC and other stakeholders through the RPCU.
The Monitoring and Evaluation exercise is to provide a flexible guide to the steps used to document
MTDP activities and how to measure progress towards the achievement of MTDP goals and
objectives in a structured way.
In addition, the process provides a clear picture of the MTDP M/E Mechanism and detailed
information on how specific activities and outputs will be monitored and evaluated to provide clear
understanding, and lessons learnt from the project implementation.

PROCESSES INVOLVED AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
Information used in the preparation of this report was mainly from primary and secondary sources.
In an attempt to develop the District, having in mind the limited resources available to the District
Assembly; efforts were made to have other development partners as collaborators in the provision
of information. Such institutions include:
1. Central Government
2. GETFUND.
3. GSOP
4. REP
5. DDF
In the process of the preparation of the District’s Annual Progress Reports, specifically during data
collection, the difficulty was the high level of illiteracy among the local communities. It was
revealed that the people (beneficiaries) had little idea of the progress of projects/programmes on-
going in their communities.
Another challenge faced during the M&E process was access to funds. Though, the budget of the
Assembly makes provision for M&E, the untimely release of funds by the Central Government
had a negative bearing on the M&E. This brings to question the frequency of visits paid to project
sites by the Monitoring Team due to inadequate budgetary allocations provided in the annual
budget. Even the little provision made is diverted to other uses. It became clear, during the process
of compiling this report, that MMDAs are not much enthused about allocating resources to
undertake M/E activities, thereby heaping a lot of pressure on the Planning Unit to attempt to
undertake all activities by itself which is not the best.
Furthermore, there is no specific vehicle for project monitoring assigned to the secretariat. This
makes the operations of the Monitoring and Evaluation Team difficult.
7
STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN – 2016
A thorough review of the District Medium Term Development Plan (2014-2017) was undertaken
by the DPCU members. The process fell in line with the end of year Annual Review as indicated
in the table below in relation to the three thematic areas
The process revealed that projects which were to be funded by the District Assembly and could
not be implemented were due to lack of funds while those funded through other interventions could
not be directly controlled by the Assembly. For instance, projects and programmes implemented
by Decentralized Departments could not be controlled and directed.

CHAPTER TWO
MONITORING AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES REPORT
PROGRAMME/PROJECT STATUS FOR THE YEAR
Specific interventions have been adopted under the Medium Term Development Plan to ensure
maximum implementation of the plan. Priority projects have been proposed for Socio-
Economic Development of the District taking cognizance of the potentials and opportunities
that abound in the District to enable the plan enjoy support with available human and financial
resources.
The District has also assigned to itself the co-ordination, implementation and supervisory roles.
It must also be noted that it may not be possible to adhere strictly to the implementation
schedule proposed for the various programmes and projects as a result of scarce resources.
The effective implementation of the plan during the year under review called for an approach
that sought to optimize utilization of available resources both internally and externally.
Consequently, the table below indicates the implementation strategy through:
The mobilization of local resources.
Partnership with external agencies.
Judicious use of available resources and cohesive institutional linkages and networking.
The table indicates that about 65 percent of projects under implementation are completed and
a sizable number too near completion. A critical look at the project areas shows that there
was a lot of emphasis on school blocks, Staff accommodation, water and sanitation, market
and health infrastructure which are critical indicators in achieving poverty reduction in the
District. It must also be noted that the table below includes all other interventions outside the
District Annual Action plan 2016.

With regard to domestic violence, in 2013 the reported cases were 55. In 2014, however, the case
reduced to 20. It is clear from the above table that the numbers had reduced; the rate of decrease
is very significant. Public education needs to be carried out to see a downward trend. The public
needs to be educated on the need to report cases of domestic violence to the appropriate quarters
irrespective of its degree and how the law is going to deal with culprits. But comparatively 2016
recorded very low cases of abuse.
The water and sanitation sector did not do particularly well, necessitating significant expansion of
infrastructure. In addition, because the district only became operational in June, 2012, there has
not been adequate enough data to properly measure performance in this sector.SCHOOL

The Ghana School Feeding Programme, in 2013, while the number of schools remained 12. In
2014, the enrolment reduced marginally by 7.35% (in nominal figures the reduction was 180). The
disbursed amount was One Hundred and Eighty- Seven Thousand, Two Hundred and Eighty-Eight
cedis, Fifty Pesewas (GH¢ 187,288.50). In 2016, the enrolment increased marginally by 6.56% (in
nominal figures the increment was 149). The disbursed amount was Ninety Six Thousand five
hundred and ten Ghana cedis (96,541.00).
In sum, the total enrolment as compared to 2014 increased by 149 showing an increment 6.56%.
As per this report we may not be able to associate this increment in enrolment to the
implementation of the school feeding programme but we strongly believe that an increase in the
price money per student may help increase enrolment and retention.

It is important to note that, the above stated critical development and poverty issues have been
identified and need to be supported and sustained to ensure that the needy, the vulnerable and the
marginalized are taken care of.

The table above shows that there were 10 reported cases of HIV &AIDS in 2016. In 2014 however;
there were as many as 6 reported cases. Using 2014 as the base year, the 10 reported infection
cases which represent 40% increase over the 2014 figure is very alarming. It could also mean that
awareness about HIV & AIDS has reduced.

CHAPTER THREE
THE WAY FORWARD
Looking at the overall performance of the District in the year under review (2016), the Assembly
though could not achieve all the set targets but a meaningful amount of the targets were achieved.
A major challenge faced by the Assembly during the implementation of the 2016 Action plan was
the untimely release of funds by the central government. This challenge resulted in the delay of
the implementation of most of the Assembly’s intended projects and programmes.
Another major challenge in the implementation process was the irregular supervision, monitoring
and evaluation of the planned projects and programmes. Access to vehicle and funds to facilitate
the monitoring and evaluation of the Assembly’s projects and programmes by the DPCU was a
major problem for the year under review.
Access to data from the decentralized departments and other units of the Assembly has also been
major challenge. Most of the time, request sent for the provision of data for the preparation of the
quarterly and annual progress reports are not speedily attended to, this delay or create omissions
in the reports.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the above challenges should be taken into consideration to facilitate an
efficient and effective performance of duty by the DPCU.
