CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1Background
The Biakoye District Assembly was carved out of the former Jasikan District in 2007. It was the
established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 1910 on 1st of November, 2007 and inaugurated on
15th of March, 2011.
It is located in the Northern part of the Volta Region of Ghana and lies within longitude 0 150 E
and 0 450 E and latitude 6 450 N and 7 150 N at the heart of the Volta – Region. It shares
common boarders with the Hohoe and Jasikan Districts to the east, Kpando to the south, Kadjebi
and Krachi East Districts to the North and the Volta Lake to the west.
The District has a total land area of 738.20 sq. km. representing about 4.08% of the total land
area of the Volta Region (18,093.27). The District Capital is Nkonya-Ahenkro, located in the
southern part of the District and about 10km from Kpando.
Based on the 2010 unpublished population and housing census, Biakoye District’s population is
now estimated to be 66,086 comprising approximately 36,347 women and 29,739 men. The
District grows at an annual rate of 1.9% (Volta Regional Growth Rate).
Vision
Biakoye District seeks to become the leading aqua culture and vegetable exporting District in the
country.
Mission
The Biakoye District Assembly exists to ensure the social, economic and political well-being of
its people through public-private partnership and fiscal, material, human resources mobilization
in an atmosphere of peace and unity.
The Annual Progress Report, including that of the fourth quarter, for the period under review
was prepared by the DPCU in fulfillment of the NDPC regulation. It is a comprehensive report
4
on the status of development projects/programmes undertaken by the Biakoye District Assembly
from 1st January to 31st December, 2012.
The 2012 Annual Action Plan was prepared based on the Ghana Shared Growth and
Development Agenda (GSGDA) which spans from 2010 to 2013. The policy framework has
seven thematic areas - Ensuring and Sustaining Macroeconomic Stability; Enhancing
Competitiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector; Accelerated Agricultural Modernization and
Sustainable Natural Resource Management; Oil and Gas Development; Infrastructures, Energy
and Human Settlements Development; Human Development, Productivity and Employment and
Transparent and Accountable Governance.
During the period under review, the District focused on three major areas of the plan. These were
human development, transparent and accountable governance and infrastructural development.
The major activities carried out were continuation and completion of projects started during the
past years, especially from 2011. Major staff development programmes were also undertaken.
On human development, many educational activities were undertaken including construction of
classroom blocks and teachers bungalows. Also paramount is the continuation of the School
Feeding Programme.
Major achievements were made especially in the areas of agriculture, health and water and
sanitation sectors.
1.2 Key Monitoring and Evaluation Objectives for the year
The Monitoring and Evaluation of projects were carried out to track progress of work in the
2010-2013 District Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP) based on the Ghana Shared
Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA).
5
The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan seeks to achieve the following objectives:
1. To ensure that projects and programmes are implemented according to plan.
2. To assess the performance of the District Medium Term Development Plan (DMTDP).
3. To assess the impact of the plan on beneficiaries.
4. To provide information for incorporation into subsequent development plans.
1.3 Methodology
Relevant and appropriate data was collected from District Assembly offices and other
decentralized departments/units for this report. The data was collected mostly on the proposed
projects/activities in the Medium Term Development Plan as far as the various departments were
concerned. Others including the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP), Local
Enterprises and Skills Development Programme (LESDEP), Youth Enterprises and Skills
Development Centre (YESDEC) and Council for Technical, Vocational and Educational
Training (COTVET) were also considered.
The data collected was collated and analysed. Consequently, the result of the analysis was
organized into the 2012 Annual Progress Report.
1.4 Challenges
Difficulties faced included:
• Inadequate documentation on projects/programmes.
• Delayed and inadequate funding.
• Inadequate motivation for M & E staff.
• Inadequate effective monitoring and supervision of projects.

CHAPTER TWO
MONITORING AND EVALUATION ACTIVITIES
2.1 Introduction
Monitoring and evaluation is an indispensable exercise in the implementation of the DMTDP. It
enables the District to assess the level of achievement of developmental targets, identify
constraints and failures and suggest ways of improving project designs to achieve better impact.
This chapter therefore entails the status of projects, disbursement of funds, indicators and targets
of the MTDP, development and poverty issues etc of the year under review.
2.2 Status of Development Project Implemented (January – December, 2012)
An analysis of the year revealed that projects or programmes designed for implementation in the
previous quarters that were not completed were, as usual, rolled over. New ones were also
considered for implementation.
The assessment showed great achievement with the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND)
projects, but moderate with the decentralized departments that is mostly involved in the
implementation of non-physical projects.

2.8.0 Update on Critical Development and Poverty Issues
The progress of development attained in the various sectors of the district includes the following:
2.8.1Agriculture
The district recorded an increase in food crop and animal production, even though some of the
targets set were not achieved. This implies that the standard of living and income levels of
farmers had increased with reference to that of 2011.
It is worth noting that yearly targets were exceeded in the areas of maize, cassava, okro, piggery
and poultry production.
A new variety of pepper known as ‘Bird Eye Chili Pepper’ was introduced to farmers in the
District. The District Assembly has provided irrigation equipments for the establishment of about
four –acre demonstration farm of the pepper by the Ablorga farmers group.
2.8.2 Governance
General Assembly, DISEC and the various sub–committee meetings etc were regularly held to
discuss issues on social infrastructural development, peace and security. However there was a
40
clash between the Nkonya of this district and Alavanyo of the Hohoe Municipal Assembly
resulting in insecurity during the last quarter of the year.
The situation was under control with the detachment of Military and Police personnel to the
District.
2.8.3 Health
There was significant improvement under this sector. Newly recruited Community Health Nurses
were posted to this district. The District Health Directorate took delivery of a pick-up to improve
upon supervision and monitoring.
A number of people were encouraged to register under the National Health Insurance Scheme
(NHIS) in the district. The absence of NHIS office is hampering readily registration of clients
under the scheme in the district.
2.8.4 Education
The education sector saw major boost in terms of classroom block infrastructure at both first and
second cycle levels. Thirty-two (32) GETFUND projects were ongoing of which ten (10) was
completed and in use. They included classroom blocks, teachers/masters bungalows, dormitories
and dining halls etc. The implementation of School Feeding Programme (SFP) in 19 basic
schools in the district also enhanced school attendance and enrolment at primary schools.
Similarly, the introduction of the Capitation Grant to basic schools and the distribution of 300
laptop computers have lessen the burden on parents over their children’s school fees and also
improved ICT training in schools.
However, education in the district is saddled basically with the following challenges.
41
• Inadequate trained teachers.
• Inadequate decent classrooms, especially, at the overbank communities.
• Inadequate teaching and learning materials etc.
2.8.5 Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation
All stakeholders, including, opinion leaders, Assembly Members, NGO’s, Heads of
Decentralized Departments participated in the monitoring and evaluation exercise through data
collection, group discussion and among others.
Monitoring and evaluation was also achieved through the assessment of performance of
interventions through progress reports.
2.9 District Development Facility (DDF)/Capacity Building
This District received an amount of thirty-nine thousand and forty-two Ghana Cedis (39,042.00)
as capacity component of its share of the DDF. The fund was disbursed to purchase office
equipments and to train the staff and other members of the Assembly as follows:

CHAPTER THREE
THE WAY FORWARD
3.1 Introduction
This chapter covers key issues, recommendations and conclusion.
3.2 Key Issues
Some of the key development issues arising from the expressed needs and aspirations were poor
infrastructure, limited access to quality health care, poor environmental sanitation, youth
unemployment, low agricultural productivity, poor quality education, poor revenue generation,
inadequate and delayed release of funds for developmental projects/programmes etc.
After the monitoring and evaluation exercise, however, it was realized that some of the issues
had been addressed. For example the various modules under the NYEP, COTVET and LESDEP
etc had provided skills training and employment for a number of the youth.
There had also been improvement in the educational infrastructure due to the various
interventions under the GETfund.
3.3 Recommendations
1. Funds should be released adequately and timely from the Central Government for
development projects/programmes.
2. The Assembly should be involved in the execution of Central Government’s project in the
district for effective monitoring and supervision.
43
3. The Assembly should be committed to the implementation of projects/programmes of the
approved Annual Action Plan and Budgets.
4. The Assembly should improve local revenue generation.
5. Decentralized department should submit their report timely to the DPCU.
6. Motivation for the monitoring and evaluation team members.
Conclusion
The District Assembly must generate more revenue to be able to implement more development
project/programmes to improve upon the socio–economic well-being of its people.
