CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Adentan Municipal Assembly was created by a Legal Instrument (LI 1888) on the 29th

February, 2008. Hither-to, Adentan was part of the then Tema Municipal Assembly which is

now Tema Metropolitan Assembly.

1.0.1 Mission Statement

The Adentan Municipal Assembly exists to facilitate the improvement of quality of life of the

people within the Assembly’s jurisdiction through equitable provision of services for the total

development of the Municipality within the context of Good Governance.

1.0.2 Vision

The Vision of the Adentan Municipality is to create a modernised, harmonious,

environmentally friendly and economically viable Municipality delivering people centered

services with dedication.

1.0.3 Objective

This Annual Progress Report is for the year 2014 and is therefore based on the 2014 Annual

Plans. The report presents the assessment of the indicators and targets established for the

purposes of tracking the progress of the various interventions as well as assessing their

impacts on the beneficiaries. The seven (7) indicators as outlined by the National

Development Planning Commission (NDPC) form the basis for assessment of progress of

implementation of the Annual Plan for 2014.

1.1 KEY MONITORING AND EVALUATION OBJECTIVES FOR THE YEAR

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plays a very important role in the implementation of

Development Plans. The extent to which the Development Plan will achieve its set goals and

objectives depends, to a very large extent, on a well-structured M&E framework that tracks

the use of resources and ensures a high level of efficiency.

The key Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) objectives for the year under review were

established in line with the objectives stated in the Medium Term Development Plan (2014-

2017) and is aimed at achieving the higher goal of “to improve the quality of services to the

people and promote growth in all sectors within the Municipality”. Some of the key

M&E objectives for the year 2014 are given under the various thematic areas of the Ghana

Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (GSGDAII) as follows:

• Ensuring and Sustaining Macro Economic Stability

• Enhancing Competitiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector

• Accelerated Agricultural Modernisation and Sustainable Natural Resource

Management

Page 5: IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTRICT MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT … · Assembly in collaboration with the Rural Enterprises Programme (REP) in October 2013 to implement relevant programmes that

• Infrastructure, Energy and Human Settlements

• Human Development, Productivity and Employment

• Transparent and Accountable Governance

1.2 PROCESSES INVOLVED AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED

The monitoring of plan implementation was in line with the M&E calendar developed by the

Assembly. The Municipal Planning Coordinating Unit (MPCU) and staffs of other

departments performed Monitoring activities. Facts finding methods such as interviews,

observations of project activities and discussions with projects staff, heads of departments,

beneficiaries were adopted to gather information. The focus was to ensure that

implementation processes are carried out to have programmes/projects remain on course and

be completed on schedule. Data collection and analysis was tedious due to lack of proper

logistics and indicators for monitoring.

1.3 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF MTDP 2014-2017

The process of translating the MTDP into visible results was successful with different results

chalked by the various implementing departments and agencies. This is due to the varied

level of control the departments have over the mobilization, organization and managing the

resources needed to undertake actions embodied in the plan.

Implementation of the plan entailed the construction of physical infrastructure which includes

roads, health, educational and sanitation facilities. Also being implemented are specific

technical and professional services like agricultural extension, community health services and

literacy programmes among others.

The objectives and strategies to ensure the goal of the GSGDA are achieved through the

harmonization of the development focus and priorities of the Municipality with national

priorities and strategies. The thematic areas are outlined below;

1.3.1 ENSURING AND SUSTAINING MACROECONOMIC STABILITY

The goal for the above thematic area is to establish a strong local economic development,

hence improving revenue mobilization, expenditure management, job creating opportunities

and skills development.

To also increase Internally Generated Funds via the preparation and implementation of a

strategic plan to improve revenue, produce yearly reports on the performance of budgets and

develop a reliable database for all properties and businesses in the Municipality.

During the 2014 financial year the total budgeted Internally Generated Fund was Three

Million Three Hundred and Forty-nine Thousand, Two Hundred and Four Ghana Cedis ,

Forty Pesewas(GH¢ 3,349,204.48) whereas the actual IGF received was Three Million Two

Hundred Thirty-six Thousand, One Hundred and Forty-one, Sixty-nine Pesewas

(3,236,141.69), representing 96.6% of budgeted Internally Generated Revenue. Even though

the financial performance of the Assembly for the year 2014 was encouraging, the Assembly

could not achieve its targeted total revenue of GH¢ 7,489,553.84 in 2014. The reason is that

Page 6: IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTRICT MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT … · Assembly in collaboration with the Rural Enterprises Programme (REP) in October 2013 to implement relevant programmes that

5

funds released from the Central Government and other sources were below the budgeted

figure. For example the Assembly budgeted for a total of GH¢1,400,000.00 from the Central

Government source whereas the actual GoG funds received was 1004,904.95 representing

71.70% of fund received. This actually disturbed the development plan of the Assembly. It is

hoped that the year 2015 will see a great improvement in District Assembly Common Fund.

The Assembly is also initiating strategies to improve Internally Generated revenue in the

coming year.

1.3.2 ENHANCING COMPETITIVENESS IN GHANA’S PRIVATE SECTOR

This thematic area has a goal to strengthen the capacity of small scale enterprises to enable

them operate effectively and also facilitate their access to capital for the expansion of their

businesses.

It also seeks to promote domestic tourism for revenue generation.

1.3.2.1 Skills Training

The Co-Operative Department registered seven societies with legal certificate. The

Department visited Twenty two societies for educational programmes, resolution of problems

and inspection of their accounts records. The Department conducted audit on the operations

of Nine (9) co-operatives unions and societies. Seven meetings for the discussions on vital

issues bordering the some of the Co-operative societies and election of Executives.

The Department had organized a day programme on Conflict Management, a workshop on

Secretarial Practice and Accounting, workshop on Leadership and Group Effective and

seminar for 100 Co-operative members. Meeting attendance for training programme

organized is almost 95% of the number expected to attend.

The department succeeded in increasing the number of registered co-operative groups from

48 to 55. Soft loans have been given to some Co-operative Groups in Ashalley Botwe and

Adjiringanor to expand their businesses with the support of MEBIA and ASA, a Micro

Financial Institution.

Challenges

• Inadequate staff for the department.

• Lack of transport facility is affecting the regular visitation.

• Inadequate capital for small enterprises to expand.

1.3.2.2 Business Advisory Centre

Business Advisory Centre (BAC) - Adenta was established by the Adentan Municipal

Assembly in collaboration with the Rural Enterprises Programme (REP) in October 2013 to

implement relevant programmes that would contribute to the development of Micro and

Small Enterprises MSEs and the unemployed youth through the generation of profit, growth

and creation of employment opportunities in the Municipality. The centre carried out

sensitization, advisory assistance and training for 30 MSEs in the Municipality.

Challenges

The Centre requires the following logistics if it is to function efficiently and effectively:

• Computer and accessories

• Furniture

1.3.3 ACCELERATED AGRICULTURE MODERNISATION AND SUSTAINABLE

NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The goal of this thematic area is to promote the cultivation of crops and livestock rearing for

food security and income. And also ensure restoration of degraded natural resources

especially tree planting.

led to improved health staff to population ratio. This is a strong indication that the health

sector will meet the challenges when all the public health facilities begin operation. However

there is the need to look at the midwifery staff since the few are weak and there is the need to

encourage younger staff to go for post-basic course in midwifery to address the gap of

supervised delivery. These improved the quality of health care delivery.

1.3.5.3.3 Infrastructure

The Municipality has a total of 40 health facilities as at 2013, consisting of 19 Public health

facilities and 22 Private health facilities. All the facilities both public and private provide

specific services except 3 private hospital which provided comprehensive and emergencies

services currently. The breakdown is as follows:

Table 1.9: Infrastructure – Bridging Equity Gap in Access to Health Care

Public Health Facilities 4 5 15 18 19

Private Health Facilities 16 16 17 22 22

TOTAL 20 21 32 40 41

From the table above, there has been 5 times increase of Public health facilities from four in

2010 to 19 in 2014.This is an indication that the government is increasing geographical

access to health by addressing the gap to quality of care.

The Public health services focus currently on implementing government health policies,

diseases surveillance, prevention, control, eradication of diseases of international health

security keys among them are Polio, Guinean worm and yaws. Addressing MDGs 4 and 5 are

activities that are jointly undertaken by both the private and public health facilities.

Emergencies Obstetric Care and other major surgeries are undertaken by the private health

facilities.

1.3.5.4.1 Early Childhood Centres for 2014

The total number of Early Childhood Development Centres in the Municipality is 202. Out of

a total number of 8,058 children enrolled, 5,073 of the kids are males whilst 2,985 are

females ranging from 0-4 years. This does not reflect the normal picture of enrolment level

since girls at the lower levels of Education usually have higher percentage than boys. The

breakdown is as follows:

1.3.5.4.2 Domestic Violence &Child Abuse

Child Abuse is a physical, sexual or emotional maltreatment or neglect of a child or children

by parents, guardians or others responsible for a child’s welfare. There are four major

categories of child abuse: neglect, physical abuse, psychological or emotional abuse and

sexual abuse. Physical abuse is characterized by physical injury usually inflicted as a result of

beating or inappropriately harsh discipline. Sexual abuse includes molestation, incest, rape,

prostitution, or use of a child for pornographic purposes. Neglect can be physical in nature

(abandonment, failure to seek needed health care) educational (failure to see that a child is

attending school) or emotional (abuse of a spouse or another child in the child’s presence,

allowing a child to witness adult substance abuse.

Page 20: IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTRICT MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT … · Assembly in collaboration with the Rural Enterprises Programme (REP) in October 2013 to implement relevant programmes that

19

In 2014, the Social Welfare Department recorded one case of child abuse of a female child in

the Adentan Municipality. The case was followed up through visits to the home to ensure

compliance.

Challenges

The challenges of the Department include;

• Unavailability of means of transport to ease staff movement in the Municipality

• Inadequate funds to conduct regular practical demonstrations to impart various skills

and knowledge to groups.

1.3.5.4.3. Births and Deaths

The major activity of the Department is registration of births and deaths. A total of 818 live

births were registered. Out of which 415 were males and 403 were females representing 50.7

percent and 49.3 percent respectively. A total of 53 deaths were registered. Out of which 30

were males and 23 were females representing 56.6 percent and 43.4 percent respectively. The

Department was able to undertake an awareness creation programmes on the importance of

births and deaths registration.

Challenges

• No computer and accessories to use for work

• Majority of the people within the Municipality are not willing to register dead bodies

• Difficulties in writing statistical reports on births and deaths as few people turned up

for registrations

1.3.6 TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE

The focus of the thematic area is to institutionalize District level Planning and budgeting

involving all stakeholders through a participatory process at all levels.

The Assembly worked effectively and efficiently to ensure timely implementation of

Assembly decision through provision of office accommodation, adequate logistics, motivate

staff, and ensure transparency and accountability.

There was also transparency in all procurement transactions of the Assembly. Contracts were

awarded to contactors premised on the procurement Act, Act 633. Public fora were also

organised for chiefs, opinion leaders, youth, community members and durbars for staff.

All stakeholders were involved in the fee fixing process which led to the preparation of the

2014 Annual Budget on time.

The Internal Audit had put internal controls in place to ensure judicious use of funds by the

Assembly.

The Assembly’s activities were also made known to the general public through public fora

announcements by the Information Services Department and Adentan News.

1.3.6.1 Security

The MUSEC and the general public provided the necessary support to the Police for night

patrols and other security duties in the Municipality.500 street lights were supplied and

installed throughout the Municipality to light up dark areas.

1.4 PURPOSE AND PREPARATION OF THE M&E PLAN

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a concise document that plays a pertinent role in the

implementation of Development Plans. The achievement of the Medium Term Development

Plan (MTDP) set goals and objectives depends on how well the M&E framework that tracks

the use of resources to ensure a high level of efficiency is structured.

The purpose of the M&E plan is to serve as a check and guide in the implementation of the

Development Plan by;

• Identifying achievements, constraints and failures so improvement can be made in the

MTDP and project designs to achieve better impact.

• Tracking the use of resources in order to ensure prudent management and

accountability so as to sustain the interest of all stakeholders in the plan.

• Ensuring effective and efficient delivery of services to meet the intended needs of

beneficiaries.

• It provides information for effective coordination of district development at the

regional level.

• Evaluating the level of progress made in implementing the Medium Term

Development Plan (MTDP) and its goals, objectives and targets.

• It helps build the capacity of the stakeholders directly or indirectly affected by the

project.

• It also ensures an easy follow of work and projects from the ex-ante stage to the post-

ante stage.

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 INTRODUCTION

The M&E activities used during the year under review included monthly field visits by the

various implementing agencies, monthly field visits by the Municipal Planning Coordinating

Unit (MPCU), Quarterly Review Meetings, evaluation and progress review workshops just to

mention a few.

The major M&E activities that were undertaken were the monthly monitoring and quarterly

review meetings held in collaboration with the various departments of the Assembly where

departments reported on the progress of programmes and projects implementation for the

year under review.

The tracking of work was done by interviews with beneficiaries of projects, physical checks,

site meetings and departmental level meetings amongst others.

2.1 PROGRAMME AND PROJECT STATUS FOR THE YEAR 2014

The project status for the year under review is given in Annex A. The progress report

indicates that implementation is going on despite the various challenges. These have

negatively affected the achievement of set targets as well as slowed down implementation.

2.2 REPORT ON FUNDING BY SOURCES (GH¢)

The main sources of revenue for financing development programmes in the Municipality is

from the Districts Assembly Common Fund (DACF), Internally Generated Fund/ Revenue

(IGF), Government of Ghana (GOG) Funds and Donor Funds. The total inflow of funds for

the 2014 is shown in Table 2.1 while Expenditure for 2014 is shown in Table 2.2.

In 2014, the IGF contributed the highest to revenue representing about 51% of the total

revenue followed by DACF which was 9.4%.

2.2.1 COMMENTS

A number of issues were identified relating to revenue and expenditure and these include the

following:

a. Release of Funds

The District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) was not released on time. This affected the

implementation of most of the programmes and projects earmarked and performance for the

fiscal year.

b. Efforts to Generate Funds

In efforts to generate funds the Assembly had involved a private company to collect Revenue.

Due to the rapid urbanization and haphazard physical development and non-existence of

valuation figures for most properties in the Municipality, the Assembly contracted Valuation

Board to value all properties within the Municipality in order to ensure that property owners

pay realistic rates.

c. Challenges with regard to generating funds

The Challenges encounted were the negative tendency of developing without approved

development permits, inadequate logistic to generate Revenue and Over reliance on the

District Assemblies Common Fund.

2.3 REPORT ON DISBURSMENT

From Table 2.2 below, out of a total disbursement of GH¢ 3,404,365.72 in 2014, 33.88% of

the expenditure was on Personnel Emoluments, 38.55% on Administration, 8.05% on GoG.

The Capital Investments (DACF) in total was 16.9% of the total expenditure for 2014 and

Capital Projects (IGF) were 2.6%.

2.3.1 Comments on Disbursement.

a. Adequacy of funds

Funds released for the implementation of projects /programmes is woefully inadequate. For

instance the DACF has a lot of strings attached to it and even before the release of funds to

the Assembly; a lot of deductions have been made leaving only small amount for the

projects/programmes.

b. Utilization of funds in accordance with the Budget

The Assembly used the funds according to the provision in the budget to enable her optimize

objectives.

c. Challenges with regard to disbursements

The challenges with regards to disbursement are.

• Statutory deductions on the DACF

Page 25: IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTRICT MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT … · Assembly in collaboration with the Rural Enterprises Programme (REP) in October 2013 to implement relevant programmes that

24

• Untimely release of funds (DACF)

• Shortfalls in the allocations also affect the projects and programmes earmarked for the

year.

2.5 REPORT ON CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY

2.5.1 Implementation of Capitation Grant

There are at the moment thirteen (14) public schools within the Municipality benefitting from

the capitation grant. This has boosted enrolment figures since its commencement. By the

close of the fiscal year 2014 the capitation grants received and distributed to the schools

amounted to GH₵ 34,146.00 out of an expected amount of GH₵51,219.00. The amount

received represents two-thirds of the total amount.

The inconsistencies in giving out the capitation grants are hampering effective quality

education. There is also the challenge of inadequate infrastructure. It is hoped that

Government will help construct more classrooms to prevent overcrowding, provide furniture

and books to make learning easier.

2.5.2 Ghana School Feeding Programme

Under the School Feeding Programme eleven (11) basic schools comprising 7,509 pupils are

benefiting from the Ghana School Feeding Program in the Municipality. There is however

some number of public basic schools in the Municipality the programme needs to take on

board due to the poverty levels in those communities. Aside attracting an increase in school

enrolments and retention, the program included creating additional employment openings for

catering services. Some children who hitherto often attended schools on empty stomach are

now able to obtain a balanced diet, and the opportunity to eat nutritionally balanced meal at

school.

Major challenges to the school Feeding programme are delays in release of funds to caterers

and inadequate funds due to increase in prices of food items over the years and payment of

0.50p per child per day since the programme started. Also rice supplied to caterers by the

Ghana School Feeding Program (GSFP) secretariat tends to be of poor quality.

As at the end of the year under review, a total amount of Two Hundred and Three Thousand,

One Hundred and Twenty Ghana Cedis, (GH¢ 203,120.00) was released to caterers for the

feeding of the children. The table below shows the enrolment figures of beneficiary schools

under the GSFP.

2.5.3 Local Economic Development

The Local Economic Development strategy; focuses on the promotion of economic activities

through education, improved governing policies; improved financing, better transportation

and the creation of new businesses in the locality to maximize and keep returns within the

Municipality.

The publication of a monthly newspaper ‘Adentan News’ is promoting businesses within the

Municipality through advertisement. It promotes businesses by showcasing what the business

community has to offer. This has resulted in increase of sales for businesses in the

Municipality. In effect, the Local Economic Development Plan for the Adentan Municipality

has raised awareness of opportunities businesses can have from the Assembly in promoting

their financial and economic affairs through local and external partnerships.

2.5.4 Gender

Gender mainstreaming is defined as “the process of assessing the implications for women and

men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in all areas and at

all levels.

Most household in the Adentan Municipality are headed by women and this is due to high

rate of single parenthood. These women are forced to raise their children single handily. They

are the household managers and provide food, nutrition, water, health, education and Family

Planning. There is therefore the need to implement relevant socio-economic intervention

targeted at this current situation to improve the lot of these women.

ensuring sustainable development in the Municipality. The Assembly therefor undertook the

following activities to protect the environment and ensure sustainable development.

• Prevent encroachment on protected areas,(water bodies , farm lands etc)

• Sensitization of residents on climate change

• Tree planting

• Waste sorting in schools

2.7 Evaluation and Participatory M&E

Evaluation and monitoring share some similarities, but they are entirely two different

activities. They differ in terms of their scope and content. Evaluation is a more detailed or

accurate activity meant to assess the impacts of goals and objectives implemented. It looks at

the social, economic and the environmental impacts of goals and objectives.

CHAPTER THREE

3.0 The Way Forward

The preparation of Annual Progress Report for 2014 has brought to the fore various

implementation challenges. These include inadequate logistics and financial resources. These

have adversely affected the setting and achievement of targets. The way forward to ensure

effective and efficient implementation of the Development Plan is to address these challenges

and also manage effectively the limited resources.

3.1 Key issues addressed and those yet to be addressed

The management of the implementation processes is a key issue that is yet to be addressed.

Besides the release of funds to the various departments is also not coordinated to ensure that

implementation is on schedule.

Furthermore, financial resources especially the District Assemblies Common Fund are not

released on time and this stalls the progress of projects and programs.

The situation of deadlines not being met due to non-availability of data or late collection of

data is also yet to be addressed. Some of the indicators could not be assessed because data

was not available or there is no base line data.

Other issues that are being addressed include the following:

• Improving the mobilization of IGF as well as the training of revenue collectors

• Provision logistics

• Smooth implementation of the Composite Budget.

3.2 Recommendation

A number of observation in the monitoring results as well as the challenges encountered

during the preparation of this document calls for the under listed recommendations to be

implemented by the Municipal Assembly as well as the various implementing departments

and funding Agencies.

• The Municipal Assembly should ensure that coordination between planning and other

departments should be improved

• The Municipal Assembly should provide adequate logistical support especially office

equipment, vehicles and motor bikes among others to various departments.

• The release of funds for the implementation of programmes and projects should be on

time and be adequate

• The Municipal Assembly and decentralized departments should make conscious

efforts to improve the implementation process

• The MPCU should be strengthened to work as a special implementation management

structure to ensure that plans are properly implemented.
