EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Background
The National Development Planning (System) Act 1994 (Act 480), Section 1, 10 and 11 charges
Ministries Departments and Agencies to undertake development planning functions in consultation with
the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) and in accordance with the Civil Service Law,
1993 (PNDC). Section 10 (3) of the Act further indicates that the development planning undertaken by a
Ministry and the Sector Agency shall be based on National Development goals issued by the NDPC and
in 10 (5), the Ministry or sector agency shall ensure that the plans are compatible with National
Development goals.
The elapse of GSGDA (2010-2013) and subsequent release of guidelines for the preparation of Medium-
Term Development Plans by Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) necessitated the
development of this plan.
The objective of this Medium Term Development Plan (SMTDP) is to enhance Ministry of Employment
and Labour Relations deliver on its mandate of ensuring coordination of all employment intervention
initiations and ensuring harmonious industrial relations among partners.
The Ministry and her Agencies conducted a thorough performance review of the implementation of the
Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda 2010-2013 (GSGDA 2010-2013), examined her vision,
mission, objectives and other relevant variables that impacted on the operations of the Ministry to serve as
the basis for preparation of the Medium Term Development Plan for a planning period of 4-years (2014 –
2017).
Methodology
Per the Planning guidelines from NDPC, a participatory approach was adopted by the Ministry in
preparing this plan. A committee, Headed by Ag. Chief Director, all the heads of Directorates of the
Ministry, Head of Accounts, Heads of all the Departments and Agencies under the Ministry, and officers
from the Policy Planning, Budgeting, Monitoring and Evaluation Directorate Division of the Ministry.
The Sector Minister and the Deputy were all involved in the preparation of this SMTDP. Technical
assistance was also sought from the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) for the
preparation of the plan. The planning process involved a number of meetings and workshops.
Key Issues
Key issues (challenges) that affected the implementation of the last plan (2010-2013) were as follows:
Obsolete tools and equipment of the training institutions under the Ministry
Low budgetary allocations and the untimely release of the little approved
Poor/inadequate office accommodation for the most of the Departments and Agencies under the
Ministry
Lack of logistics to enable the Departments and Agencies to implement the strategies outlined in
the policy
vii
Frequent labour agitations
Goal of the SMTDP (2014-2017)
Within this context of the medium-term policy objective of human development, productivity
and employment thematic area, the overarching goal of this SMTDP is to “rebrand the Ministry
and its Departments and Agencies to be well positioned to pursue policies and programmes in
Job Creation through provision of demand-driven skills, safe and health working environment
for all and harmonious industrial relations for sustainable development”.
Development Agenda relevant to SMTDP (2014-2017)
The Ministry and its Departments and Agencies’ programmes, projects and activities in the current plan
address issues under two (2) thematic areas of the GSGDA II, namely;
Human Development, Productivity and Employment
Transparent and Accountable Governance

development situation and summary of key problems
Chapter two consists of key issues linked to the relevant thematic areas of National Medium-Term
Development Policy Framework (2014-2017),
Chapter three is on development goals, adoption of objectives and strategies of the GSGDA II 2014-
2017.

and indicative budget.
Chapter five contains the annual action plan and its implementation plan.
Chapter six outlines Monitoring and Evaluation plan, (detailed Monitoring and Evaluation Plan
would be prepared for the Service Medium – Term Development Plan 2014-2017 based on the
guidelines to be provided by NDPC.)
Chapter seven, the last, is on the communication strategy of the Service. This includes the
dissemination of the Plan, creation of awareness of the expected roles of the stakeholders in the
implementation of the programmes of the ministry.
viii
Implementation Cost The projected cost of implementing the current plan from 2014 – 2017 is estimated at three hundred and
ninety-one million, six hundred and ninety-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy-five cedis,
sixty pesewas (GH¢ 391,697,975.60) About 80% of this amount is expected to be funded by Government

2010 32,812,186.00 18,479,330.22 (14,332,855.78)
2011 34,901,862.00 26,408,066.32 (8,493,795.68)
2012 37,928,026.00 43,778,127.09 5,850,101.09
2013 29,328,791.00 26,400,727.25 (2,928,063.75)
TOTAL 134,970,865.00 115,066,250.88 (19,904,614.12)
To enable the Sector implement the 2010-2013 MTDP, the Ministry had a total budgetary
allocation of GH¢134,970,865.00 (which consists of Compensation, Goods and Service and
Asset). Out of this, GH¢115,066,250.88 representing 85.3% was released. However, out of the
released amount, between 80% - 90% went into compensation of employees leaving less that
15% for Goods and Services. The year-to-year budget release indicate that in 2012, the
budgetary release exceeded the approved budget and this was attributed to the payment of the
Single Spine Salary areases that were payed.
From the afore-mentioned analyses, the resources allocated to the Sector for the implementation
of the 2010 – 2013 MTDP fell far below what was required to execute the plan. Couple with it
was the late or untimely release of the little that approved.
Furthermore, apart from the 2012 in which the release exceeded the approved budget, in the
three remaining years, the allocations fell far below the approved budget. For example in 2010,
out of the GH¢32,812,186.00 approved budget, only GH¢18,479,330.22 representing 56.3% was
released. This development hindered the effective implementation of the plan
