AHAFO-ANO SOUTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY
REPUBLIC OF GHANA
2015
ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
(DMTDP 2014-2017)
JANUARY, 2016
i
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. From the 2015 Composite Annual Action Plan from the District Medium Term
Development Plan (2014-2017), the Ahafo-Ano South District Assembly
proposed to implement 122 programmes, projects and activities.
2. Out of total 122 programmes, projects and activities proposed for implementation
in the 2015 Composite Annual Action Plan, 117 representing 95.9 percent were
initiated out of which 88 (72.1%) were fully implemented. 29 programmes,
projects and activities are still on-going with average completion rate of 94.1
percent.
3. Six programmes, projects and activities representing 4.1 percent were not initiated
at all due to inadequate funding from District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF)
and District Development Facility (DDF).
4. Recommendations
Based on the challenged faced in the year, 2015, we recommend early release of
DACF and DDF to the MMDAs. This is because most of the budget allocations are
from these sources and as result their delays affect the implementation of
programmes, projects and activities in the District. In addition, provision of
adequate logistics (Vehicle) for effective monitoring and evaluation will help to
improve M&E in the District.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
The 2015 Annual Progress Report is the appraisal of all programmes, projects and activities
embarked upon during the year under review. It is the second year assessment of the Ghana’s
Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (2014-2017) of the Ahafo-Ano South District
Assembly.
The focus here is to find out if the targets set by the District were achieved during the period
under review. The progress report will enable the District to measure the actual performance
against the set targets. The report is also as a result of the assessment of a set of indicators
and targets adopted for monitoring and evaluating the achievements and impacts of key
policy and programme intervention executed in the year, 2015 from 1st January, 2015 to 31st
December, 2015.
1.2 Processes Involved and Difficulties Encountered
The District Planning Co-ordinating Unit (DPCU) facilitated the preparation of the 2015
Annual Progress Report with the involvement of the Decentralised Departments of the
Ahafo-Ano South District. Monitoring and Evaluation data were compiled from both primary
and secondary sources. Secondary data were compiled from the various quarterly and Annual
Reports of Departments and Agencies as well as from the District Assembly and its
substructures. The data was collated and analysed by the DPCU.
A number of difficulties were encountered in the course of aggregating the data. Among
these were:
• Inadequate logistical support and other resources for monitoring and evaluation
activities in the District and at the sub-structures levels.
• Difficulty of assessment of performance because some indicators were without
baseline to assist in setting realistic targets.
• Inconsistency in some data gathered.
• Lack of permanent vehicle for monitoring and evaluation of programmes, projects and
activities in the District.

CHAPTER TWO
MONITORING AND EVALUATION REPORT
2.1 Status of Implementation of the 2014 – 2017 DMTDP
In reviewing the implementation status of the 2014-2017 DMTDP within the context of the

collected from stakeholders including Sub-District Councils, Decentralized Departments,
Agencies and Organizations and Communities in the District to assess the implementation of
the identified programmes, projects and activities outlined under the Six (6) Thematic Pillars
of the Ghana Shared Growth Development Agenda II (GSGDA II) as well as other
interventions implemented during the year. The review process took into consideration the:
• extent/levels of the implementation of proposed programmes and projects; whether
the projects were fully implemented, partially implemented or not implemented at all
and whether set objectives, targets and goals were achieved.
• reasons for any deviations in terms of implementation and set targets.
2.2 Programmes/Projects/Activities Status of 2015 Composite Annual Action Plan
Out of 122 programmes, projects and activities proposed for implementation in the 2015
Composite Annual Action Plan, 17 representing 13.9 percent were rolled over from 2014. Six
accounting for 4.1 percent were not initiated due to inadequate funding (DACF and DDF).
117 representing 95.9 percent were initiated out of which 88 forming 72.1 percent were fully
completed and 29 forming 23.8 percent were partially completed with an average completion
(overall performance) of 94.1 percent. Table 2.1 shows the level of implementation of the

CHAPTER THREE
INCOME AND EXPENDITURE REPORT
3.1 Update on Funding by Sources for Third Quarter of 2015
The Ahafo-Ano South District Assembly received a total of GH¢1,744,968.39 for the Third
Quarter 2015 fiscal year from a multiplicity of sources including the Taxes on Property,
Other General Government Units, Lands, Rent and Other Income, Fees, Licences, Fines,
Penalties/Forfeits and Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding the deductions at source, receipts from
the Grants (DACF) remain the single largest source of investment fund inflow into the
District. Table 3.1 shows a summary of the trend of revenue performance of the District for
the Third Quarter of 2015.
From Table 3.1, out of a total GH¢6,369,972.03 estimated for Third Quarter, 2015, an
amount of GH¢1,744,968.39 was realized representing a percentage shortfall of 72.6 percent.
The untimely release of the some Other General Government Units (DACF) limited the
Assembly’s ability to implement and complete 35 representing 28.7 percent of its Third
Quarter 2015 programmes, projects and activities. In order to generate enough IGF, measures
have been put in place to educate the public on the need to pay taxes.
During the review of the Third Quarter, 2015, several actions were taken by the Assembly to
improve revenue collection and management. These included establishment of a Revenue
Task Force and compilation of revenue items register for major towns in the District.
However, the Assembly experienced 77.5 percent increase more than the estimated revenue
in its Internally Generated Funds (IGF) for the Third Quarter, 2015, as it received
GH¢429,370.25 compared with the budgeted GH¢281,600.88.

CHAPTER FOUR
UPDATE ON CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY ISSUES
4.1 National Youth Employment Agency
As at the close of the year 2015, only the sanitation (Zoomlion) module had 176 people
employed in the programme with 63 percent females and 37 males. All personnel in the
other modules have exited waiting for fresh registration to be done after the passage of
the new National Youth Agency bill.
4.1.1 Challenges facing NYEA in the District
• Delay in the release of allowances to the beneficiaries.
• Ineffective monitoring of activities.
4.1.2 Policy Recommendations
• Allowances should be paid at regular intervals.
• Supply of adequate logistics to ensure effective monitoring.
• The bill has to be passed for the programme to commence in order to curb youth
unemployment in the District and country as a whole.
4.2 Ahafo-Ano South Mutual Health Insurance Scheme
In the year 2015, the Scheme registered 10,519 new members comprising 56.0 percent
females and 44.0 percent males. For old members who had renewals of their cards in
2015, they were 26,320 in number. It is significant to note that for both new members and
those who renewed their cards, females constitute the majority accounting for 56.0
percent and 60.0 percent respectively. Table 4.1 depicts the breakdown of the members of
the NHIS in the District.
