EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. From the 2017 Annual Action Plan of the District Medium-Term Development
Plan (2014-2017), the Ahafo-Ano South District Assembly proposed to implement
116 programmes, projects and activities.
2. Out of total 116 programmes, projects and activities proposed for implementation
in 2017, 105 representing 90.5 percent were initiated out of which 91 (86.7%)
were fully implemented with 14 (13.3%) still on-going. Hence, the average
performance (completion rate) of the District in 2017 is 95.0 percent.
3. Eleven (11) programmes, projects and activities representing 9.4 percent were not
initiated due to inadequate funding from District Assemblies Common Fund
(DACF), District Development Facility (DDF), Internally Generated Fund and
other sources.
4. Recommendations
Based on the challenges faced in 2017, we recommend early release of DACF and
DDF to MMDAs. This is because most of the budget allocations are from these
sources and as result their delays affect the implementation of programmes, projects
and activities in the District. In addition, the provision of adequate logistics
(Vehicle) for monitoring and evaluation will help to improve M&E activities in
the District.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of the Monitoring and Evaluation for the Stated Period, 2017
The rationale for developing Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) for the implementation of
2017 Composite Annual Action Plan is summarized as follows:
· To assess whether 2017 CAAP (DMTDP, 2014-2017) developmental targets were
being met.
· To provide information for effective coordination of District’s development at the
regional and national levels, African Union Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable
Development Goals.
· To document progress made and lessons learnt from the implementation of
programmes, projects and activities.
· To improve service delivery and influence allocation of resources in the District.
· To demonstrate M&E results to stakeholders as part of accountability and
transparency.
· To identify achievements, constraints and failures so that improvements can be made
to the CAAP and project designs to achieve better impact.
1.2 Summary of Achievements of the Implementation of the DMTDP
The 2017 Annual Progress Report is the appraisal of all programmes, projects and activities
implemented during the year embedded in the 2017 Composite Annual Action Plan of the
Ahafo-Ano South District Assembly. The main focus is to find out if the targets set by the
District were achieved during the period under review. The Annual Progress Report will
enable the District to measure the actual performance against the set targets. The report
presents the result of the assessment of the indicators and targets adopted for monitoring and
evaluating the achievements and impacts of key policy and programme interventions
executed in the year, 2017.
· Proportion of the Composite Annual Action Plan Implemented by the End of Year, 2017
Out of 116 programmes, projects and activities proposed for implementation in the year
2017, 11 representing 9.4 percent were rolled over from 2016. Out of this number, 11
accounting for 9.4 percent were not initiated due to inadequate funding (DACF, DDF and
Others). 105 representing 90.5 percent were initiated out of which 91 forming 86.7 percent
2
were fully completed and 14 forming 13.3 percent were partially completed with an overall
performance of 95 percent. Table 1.1 shows the level of implementation of the 2017
Composite Annual Action Plan. It is worth mentioning that, the District has successfully
implemented all the four years of the plan, that is, from 2014 to 2017 using the Composite
Annual Action Plans (CAAP) aggregated from the Ten (10) Decentralised Departments of the
Assembly. In the four years, the District has initiated 476 programmes, projects and activities
(averagely, 119), out of which 450 representing 94.5 percent have been implemented.
· Overall Proportion of the DMTDP Implemented within the Four Year Period (2014-2017)
Out of the 150 programmes, projects and activities proposed to be implemented within the
plan period of 2014 to 2017, 141 representing 94.0 percent were implemented with the
remaining nine accounting for 6.0 percent were not implemented. The implementation status
of the 141 programmes, projects and activities accounted for 132 representing 88.0 percent
fully completed with nine representing 6.0 percent still on-going. From the performance
review of the DMTDP 2014-2017, the District recorded 91.3 percent achievement.
Averagely, 119 programmes, projects and activities were implemented annually. As a result
of this, the District has seen a tremendous improvement in education, health, water,
sanitation, energy, transportation, LED and job creation which has enhanced the quality life
of the people. Again, all the cross-cutting issues targeting HIV/AIDS, gender, environment,
climate change, population and social protection programmes have been fully integrated in
the implementation of the programmes, projects and activities in the DMTDP (2014-2017). It
is worth mentioning that all the programmes, projects and activities implemented were from
the plan. Table 1.1 shows the performance achievement of the implementation of the
DMTDP 2014-2017.

1.3 Challenges Encountered in the Implementation of the DMTDP
The specific constraints, problems or difficulties encountered by the District Planning Co-
ordinating Unit (DPCU) during the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the
Composite Annual Action Plans under the DMTDP 2014-2017 are outlined below.
· The major challenge facing the implementation of the plan is inadequate funding from
all sources (DACF, DDF, IGF and Other Donor Support). This is because some of the
DACF releases to the District are still in arrears. Similarly, DDF grants for 2013 and
2014 are still in arrears.
· Inadequate logistical support and other resources for monitoring and evaluation
activities in the District and at the sub-structures levels.
· Difficulty of assessing performance because some indicators were without baseline to
assist in setting realistic targets.
· Lack of assigned permanent vehicle for monitoring and evaluation of programmes,
projects and activities in the District.
· Different reporting formats of the Decentralised Departments due to the requirement
of their reporting Sector Ministries, Departments and Agencies
· Delay in providing feedback on DMTDPs and Annual Progress Reports from NDPC.
· Inadequate training programmes organised by NDPC on the preparation and reporting
of DMTDPs and Annual Progress Reports respectively.
· Lack of sustainable funds to conduct DPCU activities, Social Accountability
Programmes, Evaluation and Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation.
1.4 Processes Involved in the Preparation of the 2017 Annual Progress Report
The District Planning Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU) facilitated the preparation of the 2017
Annual Progress Report with the involvement of the Decentralised Departments of the
Ahafo-Ano South District Assembly. Monitoring and Evaluation data were compiled from
both primary and secondary sources. The secondary data were compiled from the various
quarterly Reports of Departments and Agencies as well as from the District Assembly and its
Area Councils. The primary data were also obtained from the quarterly site meetings, public
hearings, town hall meetings, social accountability forums and the quarterly meetings with
the various stakeholders involved in the plan implementation and monitoring. The data were
collated, analysed and evaluated by the DPCU. The final report was disseminated to the
public by the District Development Communication Committee at the Town Hall meeting of
the Assembly.

2.2 Update on Funding Sources
A total of GH¢3,694,620.38 was the amount received by the Ahafo-Ano South District Assembly by the end of the 2017 fiscal year. The range of the
revenue sources include Internal Generated Fund (IGF), District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), Member of Parliament Common Fund (MPCF),
Disability Common Fund (PWDCF), MSHAP, Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), SRWSP, District Development Facility (DDF) and
Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) A summary of the trend of revenue performance of the District is presented in Table 2.2. As
shown on Table 2.2, out of the GH¢5,216,803.68 estimated by the end of 2017, an amount of GH¢3,694,620.38 was realized representing a 70.8
percent. However, the Assembly’s inability to implement 11 programmes, projects and activities representing 9.4 percent out of the 116 programmes,
projects and activities, is attributed to the untimely release of DACF and non-payment of DDF arrears for 2013 and 2014.
In order to generate enough IGF, adequate measures have been put in place to educate the public on the need to pay rates. In addition, several actions
were taken by the Assembly to improve upon the revenue collection and management during the year, 2017. These included compilation of revenue
database register for major towns in the District, establishment of a Revenue Task Force and successful implementation of the 2017 Revenue
Improvement Action Plan.

2.3 Update on Disbursement
In order to ensure effective implementation every plan and budget, revenue and expenditure report played a key role for successful implementation.
This section of the progress report brings on board the revenue and expenditure for the year under review. This will demonstrate the total revenue
generated within the year and how funds were released to finance the expenditure of the 2017 Composite Budget and the 2017 Composite Annual
Action Plan
From Table 2.3, in 2017, an amount GH¢3,683,620.38 representing (70.8 percent) out of the total estimated expenditure of GH¢5,216,803.68 was
spent. However, out of the total actual receipts of GH¢3,694,620.38, the District spent within the budget leaving a balance surplus of GH¢11,000.00
(0.3 percent). All the four expenditure items represent all the programmes, projects and activities in the 2017 Composite Annual Action Plan and
2017 Composite Budget, which were prepared from the DMTDP 2014-2017.

2.4 Update on Indicators and Targets
The NDPC in consultation with stakeholders has strategically devised twenty (20) core indicators and targets to track the performance of the
implementation of the 2017 Composite Annual Action Plan and the 2017 Composite Budget as well as the trend analysis of the implementation of
the DMTDP 2014-2017. Table 2.4 shows the performance indicators and targets for the implementation of 2017 Annual Action Plan and Composite
Budget. In general, the policy outcomes are affected by the delays in the release of the major funding sources (DACF and DDF) as they constitute
more than halve of the budgetary allocations to the Assembly.

2.6 Evaluations Conducted, Their Findings and Recommendations
Evaluation plays a vital role in the life of every project implementation as the feedback
always determines the success or failure of the project. Therefore, the evaluation of the
achievements of the 2017 Composite Annual Action Plan was conducted in two phases
that is before (Ex-ante Evaluation) and after (Terminal evaluation) the implementation of
the programmes, projects and activities based on the M&E Calendar and Budget. This
was performed by the DPCU with support from the collaborating Agencies and
Stakeholders.
The conduct of the evaluations involved scrutinizing the status-quo reports and the
analyzed data from both primary and secondary sources and comparing them with the
appraisal reports during and after the implementation of the year’s activities. Field
surveys including data collection, analysis, observations, presentation and reporting were
used to conduct the evaluation of the selected physical projects implemented in the year.
In addition, the DPCU and Stakeholders Forum were used to valid and confirm the data
before and after completion to ascertain if the intervention achieved its original objectives
and assess the overall changes caused by the implementation of the physical project.
From Table 2.6, 10 evaluations were conducted with for five Ex-ante Evaluations and the
other five for Terminal Evaluations.
The findings of the evaluation revealed that all the selected physical projects implemented
in the year, 2017, impacted positively on the quality life of the people in the District as
exhibited in Table 2.6. However, funding for the implementation of most projects are
lacking with respect to Central Government Transfers (DACF and DDF). It is therefore
recommended that funds should be released timely and adequately toward the
implementation of the 2018-2021 DMTDP. In addition, adequate funds should be made
readily available to conduct evaluations so as to improve decision making and provide
insights for effective programme, project and activity design and implementation in the
District.

2.7 Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation Undertaken and Their Results
Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) refers to the practice where all key stakeholders are directly involved in the M&E design and
implementation process. For the 2017 under review, the District conducted PM&E using Community Score Card and Participatory Expenditure
Tracking Surveys in the implementation of 2017 Composite Annual Action Plan. The key stakeholders who participated in the two PM&E
through the stakeholders’ analysis included Traditional Authorities, Assembly Members, Unit Committee Members, Opinion Leaders,
Contractors, Heads of Decentralised Departments and other Agencies, Political Parties (NPP and NDC), Civil Society Organisations, Religious
Bodies, Financial Institutions, Artisans, Communities and Media. The details of the conduct of the PM&E is presented in Table 2.7.

3.0 CONCLUSION AND THE WAY FORWARD
This section summarizes the 2017 Annual Progress Report by exhibiting the key issues
addressed and those yet to be addressed as well as the recommendations for successful
implementation of subsequent Composite Annual Action Plans (CAAP). The details are
outlined in the sub-section 3.1 and 3.2.
3.1 Summary of Key Issues Addressed in 2017 and Those Yet to be Addressed
In the course of implementation of the 2017 Composite Annual Action Plan, the
following key issues were identified and addressed successfully in 2017, which need to be
sustained for subsequent years.
· Funds for Monitoring and Evaluation activities were provided quarterly for the
District Monitoring Team to conduct the exercise with ease. This provided funds
for Quarterly M&E Reporting and the payment of Day Trip Allowances.
· Logistics in form of fuel, stationery and other Monitoring and Evaluation
materials were provided timely for the conduct of the M&E exercise in the
District. This provided solution to the logistical challenge raised by the District
Monitoring Team.
· Funds were released for the 10 Decentralised Departments of the Assembly to
carry-out their mandated programmes, projects and activities in the 2017
Composite Annual Action Plan. This addressed the challenge of lack of funds for
Departments to carry-out their activities in the 2017 CAAP.
However, the implementation of the 2017 Composite Annual Action Plan was challenged
with the following key issues which are yet to be addressed, possibly in 2018.
· Lack of assigned permanent vehicle for Monitoring and Evaluation of
programmes, projects and activities in the District. This pending issue is yet to be
rectified by management of the District Assembly.
· Inadequate and untimely release of DACF has negatively affected the
implementation of programmes, projects and activities in the District. This issue is
yet to be resolved by the District Assemblies Common Fund Administrator.
· The delay in the release of DDF for 2013 and 2014 have deferred the
implementation of DDF sourced projects and capacity building programmes in the
2017 Annual Action Plan. This challenge is yet to be addressed by the DDF
Secretariat under the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development.
22
3.2 Recommendations
In conclusion, the way forward to address the challenges faced in the Monitoring and
Evaluation activities, in addition to those yet to be addressed, include the following.
· Provision of permanent vehicle for Monitoring and Evaluation exercise in the
District will help to improve the routine inspection and supervision of
programmes, projects and activities.
· Based on the challenges identified in the implementation of DACF programmes,
the Assembly recommends timely and adequately release of DACF to finance the
plan and budget implementation in the District.
· Based on the infrastructural challenges identified in the District, the Assembly
recommends timely release of DDF for 2013 and 2014 to finance the
implementation of infrastructural gaps identified.
· Regular reshaping of road network in the District will improve Monitoring and
Evaluation exercise.
· Organisation of Monitoring and Evaluation training programmes by the National
Development Planning Commission (NDPC) to equip District Monitoring Teams
with the required knowledge and experience.
· Setting-up DPCU Fund to promote the functionality of DPCU as enshrined in the
Local Governance Act 936, 2016 and the National Development Planning
(System) Regulations, LI 2232, 2016.
