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 modernized, 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 2015 and is therefore based on the 2015 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 2015.
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 Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resource
Management
5
• 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 2015 financial year the total budgeted Internally Generated Fund was Four
Million Seven Hundred and Seventy-three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Seven Ghana Cedis
, Ninety-Six Pesewas(GH¢ 4,773,707.96) whereas the actual IGF received was Four Million
Six Hundred Sixty-0ne Thousand, Three Hundred and Eighteen, Forty-Two Pesewas
(4,661,318.42), representing 97.6% of budgeted Internally Generated Revenue. Even though
the financial performance of the Assembly for the year 2015 was encouraging, the Assembly
could not achieve its targeted total revenue of GH¢11,159,084.89 in 2015. The reason is that
6
funds released from the Central Government and other sources were below the budgeted
figure. For example the Assembly budgeted for a total of GH¢2,936,526.76 from the Central
Government source whereas the actual GoG funds received was 2,458,374.45 representing
83.7% of fund received. This actually disturbed the development plan of the Assembly. It is
hoped that the year 2016 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-three societies for educational Programmes, resolution of
problems and inspection of their accounts records. The Department conducted audit on the
operations of two (2) co-operatives unions and societies. The Department registered six (6)
co-operative unions.
The Department had organized a day programmes on book keeping accounting, a workshop
on working capital management, workshop on co-operative secretarial practice and duties of
executive members and seminar for 100 Co-operative members. Meeting attendance for
training programme organized is almost 95% of the number expected to attend.
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.
7
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.

The Feeder Roads department planned to undertaken gravelling works, construction of drains
and shaping works but could not do them due to delay of fund.

some main roads, road line marking on major roads, speed humps and road signs at some
specific points to control over speeding in order to prevent both pedestrian and vehicular
accidents from occurring within the Municipality.
1.3.4.2 Transport
Private and commercial transport services operating in the Adentan Municipality include

1.3.5.3 Health
In terms of Health, the main priorities were to provide quality health service delivery and also
create an enabling environment to promote private sector participation in health delivery.
1.3.5.3.1 Malaria
Malaria continues to be one of the national health problems that affect not only pregnant
women but children under 5 years. These categories of the population are all vulnerable with
Adentan Municipality not exception.
From the table below, malaria is the leading cases of OPD attendance in the Municipality.
For the period under review (2015), it accounted for approximately 36.3% (19,671) cases at
OPD in the Municipality. To reduce the disease burden, there is the need to bring all
stakeholders under the Municipal Health Advocacy Team (MHAT) to start addressing the
underline causes of continuous increasing of communicable diseases in the municipality
including malaria. Other communicable diseases including typhoid fever, diarrhea intestinal
worms continue to pose threat to health security in the municipality. Meanwhile there is the
need to strengthening the Health Promotion Unit/ Information unit of the municipality to
come out with strategies to address issues of communicable diseases in the municipality.
Other diseases appearing in the Adentan Municipality is seen in the table below.

1.3.5.3.2 Availability of Health Workers
Human resource capacity continues to grow gradually over the period under review. This has
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:

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.

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
21
(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.

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.

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.
24
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 2015
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.

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 has contracted four Revenue Contractors to collect
Revenue throughout the Assembly.
c. Challenges with regard to generating funds
The Challenges encountered were the negative tendency of developing without approved
development permits, inadequate logistic to generate Revenue and Over reliance on the
District Assemblies Common Fund.

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.
27
c. Challenges with regard to disbursements

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 2015 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 (12) basic schools comprising 8,034 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.
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.

2.6 Environment, Climate Change and Green Economy
The mainstreaming of Environment, Climate Change and Green Economy is most relevant in
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.
Some activities undertaken included
• Review of all quarterly and Annual Progress Reports
• Monitoring of Physical Projects
• Monitoring of Programmes

CHAPTER THREE
3.0 The Way Forward
The preparation of Annual Progress Report for 2015 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.
