CHEPTER ONE GENERAL INTRODUCTION. BACKGROUND The Government of Ghana is committed to prudent management and accountable practices within the public service that result in effective and efficient delivery of services for the benefit of all people living in Ghana. Government is further committed to the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) that links resource allocation to the national development policy objectives and the delivery of specified outputs and outcomes. Annually, Government in collaboration with commits significant resources to support a wide range of development interventions that are designed to improve the general standards of living in the country. The Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS I), implemented from 2002 to 2005, was a broad based development strategy for accelerated growth and poverty reduction. It focused heavily on poverty reduction programmes and projects. The emphasis in the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II), implemented from 2006 to 2009, was on growth-inducing policies and programmes which have the potential of supporting wealth creation for sustainable poverty reduction. The current Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA) is focused on implementing programmes and projects that are geared towards achieving/sustaining macroeconomic stability, minimize socioeconomic inequalities and rapid poverty reduction as enshrined in the MDGs. To complement the efforts of the government, the districts have assumed the responsibility of implementation, monitoring and evaluation of these projects in order to achieve the desired objectives of positively transforming the lives of all beneficiaries. This effort is key in propelling Ghana into a middle income county by 205 as envisaged. The monitoring and Evaluation plan is a necessary tool for assessing the capability of the district in policies, projects and programmes implementation. This would contribute to achievement of the overall goal of the district within the planned period and beyond. This Document is therefore prepared by the DPCU with a high sense of ownership of the entire district stakeholders, as views of traditional authorities and opinion leaders from the various Area Councils are

well represented. It is highly hopeful that the anticipated development of the district would be actualized in the long run..2 GOAL The district s development goal under The GSGDA (200-203) is to achieve sustainable growth by reducing poverty within an environment of transparent and accountable governance. This is highly compatible with the National goal of addressing economic imbalances, re-stabilizing the economy, placing it on the path of sustainable accelerated growth and poverty reduction towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals and Middle Income status..3 OBJECTIVES: The district objectives under the seven thematic areas of the GSGDA are as follows:.3. ENSURING AND SUSTAINING MACROECONOMIC STABILITY Resource mobilization effort: To achieve an annual revenue growth of 5 % ( from 20% to 35%) by the end of December, 203 Local Business Promotion To enhanced local business and investment growth of at least0% by 203.3.2 ENHANCING COMPETITIVENESS IN GHANA'S PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT Local Economy Growth Objectives: To promote local industries on areas of honey, cashew and plantain etc. by end of 203.

PURPOSE OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION PLAN Monitoring and evaluation is an effective organizational management tool for data collection and analyzing regarding core development issues. In projects and programs implementation system M & E plan facilitates the measurement of progress toward targets. By this, the tool helps most decision makers to assess the actual level of achievements so that improved performance is realized from a development activity. The M&E plan usually indicates plan activities and indicators for projects and programs. This would effectively checks and tracking the implantation circumstance of the activities, projects or programs over a time frame. In the case of the DPCU therefore the establishment of an M&E plan, is a vital tool that would facilitate the mobilization of all important stakeholders within the district for an active participation in projects and programs implementation. This would enhance efficient and effective decision making in all spheres 5

of the district s development. At the long run, the plan would regulate the reporting and information dissemination on government programs and projects, both internal and external..5 IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF DMTP The DPCU assessment on the implementation status of the District Medium Term Development Plan indicated the following bellow:.5.

Following this, the DPCU grouped the then GPRSII indicators into National and District basis as the GPRSII indicators could not cover all the seven thematic areas of GSGDA policy document. Therefore, the national base line indicators and targets issued by the NDPC served as a benchmark for the computation of the district data as seen bellow. 3

2.7 DATA COLLECTION, VALIDATION AND COLLATION PROCEEDURE Data gathered from monitoring and evaluation is meant to assess the impacts of programmes and projects in the district. This the DPCU will do by collecting data on physical programmes and projects implemented, assess income level and living standards among others. In this context, the DPCU would keep a contract register to facilitate the compilation of projects and programs information. The collection of data would take cognizance of the indicators and activities identified in the M&E Core indicators and the matrix. 2.7. Data collection on programmes Primary Data Data that is not readily available shall be collected from various department, agencies and implementation sites, through the administration of questionnaires, carful observations, checklist and interviews using the specified indicators in the matrix. All data collected both from primary and secondary sources would be reviewed and validated before usage. Secondary Data Some form of data already exists in various departments and reports that are submitted quarterly or annually. For example data like enrolment level, in various schools and the number of HIV/AIDS infected persons already exists in some health centers. Others include files, reports in the central and decentralized department other data sources include NGO s, MDA s, CWSA, CBRDP, MOFA, GHS, IGF, GSS (mainly CWIQ, GLSS), Tender Documents and the National census reports. The DPCU would make use of such sources in the data gathering process. Data Validation The DPCU will validate and review all the data with stakeholders before and after collection. The aim for this is to avoid errors and inconsistencies in the data gathered. Monitoring and Evaluation Information System Data will be entered and stored using excel and other IT-based software that will ensure effective and efficient data update and processing, while efforts are made to get the GhanaInfo data based launched in 2005 as a result of the collaboration between Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) with NDPC. 33

2.8 DATA ANALYSIS AND USE Monitoring and Evaluation Data from all decentralized agencies CSOs will be collated by the DPCU, and analyzed before presentation to the RDPCU, NDPC and other MDAs and stakeholders. The M&E data will be analyzed and interpreted to highlight key areas of concern and to identify interventions for development and job creation in the district. The data collected will be transformed into meaningful information to show the results produced from each project. Each indicator (core and district specific) will be examined and appropriate action taken to address the findings. Where there is highlight of concern on an indicator, further exploration will be done on the issue. Analyses will focus on identifying linkages between the various projects goals and objectives of the DMTDP and also take into consideration the information needs of stakeholders. Both quantitative and qualitative methods will be used in data analyses and presentation of M&E results (Bar chart, graphs and pictures, etc). This will involve all the DPCU members to ensure that there is coherence across board. The analysis would serve as basis to design approaches, which can be replicated in the communities. The results of the analysis would be used to help address the problems of inadequate funding for sustainable development. 2.9 REPORTING There is the need to get all actors involved in programmes/projects of the district well informed on the level of progress made on the activities of the DMTDP after each monitoring exercise. This will enable all the stakeholders to take the necessary steps that require redress, prior to subsequent monitoring exercises. Such stakeholders would include the RPCU, DCE, and Presiding Member, Sub-Committees of the Assembly, Departmental Heads, the Media, Development partners, and CSO s All the M&E findings will be included in the DPCU s Quarterly and Annual Progress Reports. The M&E reports will take the standard outline as prescribed by the NDPC. 2.0 DISSEMINATION To ensure accountability and transparency within the District, reports would be issued to the Regional Planning and Coordinating Unit (RPCU), National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) and other stakeholders. The table below shows the strategy for the information dissemination: 3

Quarterly Public fora Annually DPCU/ Area / Media discussions Issue Reports of As and when necessary Responsibility Strategy To Whom Feedback DPCU Workshop for all identified stakeholders will be organized biannually where feedbacks would be collected for review. At all Assembly DA/DPCU/ and Sub- Assembly Committees Members meetings, outcome discussions would be carried out for onward discussions with community members. Councils / Communities DCE/DPCU Community meetings as well as public gatherings Eg. festivals would be used for dissemination when necessary Regular discussions on the DMTDP, status of implementation, constraints, challenges, and strategies, using the Local FM Station Timely Stakeholders, Communities Assembly Members Committees Members Communities General Public Regional and mechanism Comments, contributions Statements Comments contributions Comments, contributions, criticisms through Phonein 35

Planning and Coordinating Unit, National Development Planning Commission, departmental heads, and CSOs Comments 2. PARTICIPATRY M&E M&E practice needs to be sustainable and all inclusive. To this end all the necessary key stakeholders such as the communities, politicians traditional leaders etc., would be directly involved in the M&E design and implementation process. The stakeholders will be involved in the selecting of indicators, data collection and analysis, implementation of the findings and dissemination of the results. 2.2 CONCLUSION Project supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation are important consideration in contract administration. For the purposes of quality assurance, the DPCU is charged with the responsibility to monitor and evaluate performance of consultants and contractor. This is accomplished with the technical support of the District Works Sub- committee. The operations of the Works subcommittee and the DPCU are governed by organization of regular site meetings, field visits and documentation of proceedings. This however requires adequate logistics and funding. To revert the current trend of poor quality in the management of projects at the District Assembly level, calls for Total Quality Management. This must however reflect in total quality planning, total quality control and total quality management (implementation and feedback). 36
