The Annual Progress Report for the year, 2014, on the level of implementation of the
Municipal Medium Term Development Plan (2014-2017) has been prepared under the
Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA 11). It invariably serves as the

spanning 2014 to 2017.
This Progress Report provides a structured review of the implementation of
programmes and projects and their impact on the socio-economic development of the
Municipality for the year, 2014. The Report uses a set of indicators and targets for
monitoring and evaluating the achievements and impacts of the key interventions
undertaken by the Municipal Assembly.
• Recommendations are made for those areas where progress was stalled.
• Recommendations are also made to address key weaknesses that have been
identified in the implementation of the MMTDP.
The 2014 Progress Report has been compiled based on the summary of achievements
during the first to the fourth quarter of the year, using the preceding quarter of 2014 as
the base, and reference for comparison and analysis.

1.2 PROCESSES INVOLVED AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
The following processes were undertaken in the preparation of the APR for Monitoring
and Evaluation Plan.
The monitoring was done by the Municipal Monitoring Team, members of the MPCU
and relevant Heads of Departments, who are beneficiaries of programmes and projects.
• Collating and analyzing Annual Progress Reports submitted by Decentralized
Departments, Agencies and Services of the Assembly.
• Quarterly field visits
• Collating and recording data on what were achieved in terms of planned actions
• Analyzing the data collected to determine the success and failures and any
deviations from the planned targets
• Making recommendations for corrective actions.
Difficulties encountered in the monitoring and evaluation activities included:
• Inconsistencies in data
• Inadequate resources for M&E
• Ineffective monitoring of projects by the Municipal Monitoring Team due to lack of
logistics and motivation
1.3 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2014 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The Municipal Assembly had done well in terms of the implementation of Programmes/
Projects in its 2014 Annual Action Plan. The Programmes/ Projects had noted full-scale
implementation across the municipality, as well as the ability of the Monitoring Team
and other members of the MPCU to conduct field visits, monitoring and evaluation
missions.
Some of the programmes and projects in the Annual Action Plan have completely been
executed, while others are in various stages of implementation.
Out of 85 programmes earmarked for implementation in the 2014 Annual Action Plan;
52 projects representing 61.18% were fully implemented. However, 28 projects
representing 32.94% were ongoing as at the time of preparing this plan document. A
total of 5 planned projects representing 5.88 % were not successfully implemented due
5
to lack of/ inadequate funds. Alternatively, some were unsuccessful due to delay
in/untimely release of funds.
The list below shows the status of programmes and projects implemented by the end of
the year, 2014.

estimate of GH₵ 197,200.00. Finally, fees and fines recorded an incremental
performance of 81.34% and 367.71% respectively.
The total IGF expenditure of the Assembly was GH₵ 794,562.2 representing 107.36%%

2.4 UPDATE ON CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT
2.4.1 Incentives for Business Development in the Municipality
The Municipality has a Business Advisory Centre which assists in training mostly the
youth in employable skills. The centre has instituted a number of programmes like
technical training in vocational activities, counseling of people on opening of business
accounts and many more. These programmes are mostly targeted at the unemployed
youth. The roles of the Centre include the provision of business counseling, organizing
management, technical training and facilitating clients’ access to financial service.
The BAC gets funds and support from the National Board for Small-Scale Industries
(NBSSI). However, BAC does not have the needed support from the Municipal Assembly
to enable it perform its core functions more effectively. Some of the achievements of
the BAC for the year under review include; registered 78 businesses in the Municipality
trained 40 youth in soup making and counseled 8 people on opening of business
accounts.

2.4.3 School Feeding Programme
This section covers activities carried out by management of the Asokore Manpong
Municipal Assembly in fulfillment of the government policy initiative in line with the
attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 1, 2, 3 and 4 by 2015.
This is an update of the Ghana School Feeding Programme as at December, 2014. It
reports on statistics, development and operations of the programme. The impact of
programme has been extremely tremendous and positive on education in the
municipality. It entails current statistics on enrolment figures, constraints on finances as
17
well as monitoring structures put in place. It also highlights on achievements and
challenges.
The total enrolment figures now stood at 14,965; out of which 51.07% (7,643)
represents females and 48.93% (7,322) males.
Notwithstanding these constraints, yet the Assembly has over the years been
committed to the proper management and implementation of the programme. Feeding
has never been suspended in any of the beneficiary schools unless in an event of a
statutory public holiday.
2.4.3.1 Beneficiary Schools
A total of twelve public primary schools are benefiting from the feeding programme in
the Municipality. The enrolment figures of these beneficiary schools as at the end of
first term 2012/2014 academic year are shown in table 2.6 below.

2.4.3.2Achievements
The following are some of the benefits:
• The enrolment figures increased at some of the beneficiary schools.
• There is a drastic reduction of both pupils and teachers’ absenteeism because of
the assurance of hot nutritious meal every school day.
• Drop-out rate as a result of some parents’ inability to support their wards during
schooling days has been reduced considerably.
• The pupils no more run away from school during break period because of
hunger.
• Good eating habits and hygienic conditions are practiced.
• No incidence of serious malnutrition cases had been reported at any of the
feeding schools.
• It also creates employment for thirty (30) caterers.
2.4.3.3 Challenges
Some of the challenges are:
� The non-beneficiary schools are pressuring the Assembly to be brought on board
the feeding programme. In some cases, many of the pupils from these schools
are running to the beneficiary schools to be enrolled.
� There is absolutely no means of transport to conduct effective monitoring
activities.
� There is delay in the release of the programme’s funds.
� Lack of financial allocation for capacity building and administrative expenses
makes it difficult to organize regular Municipal Implementation Committee
meetings.
� The School Implementation Committees are not functioning effectively because
of lack of sitting allowances.
20
2.4.3.4 Recommendation
• Provision of at least a motor bike is strongly recommended to facilitate regular
and effective daily monitoring on the programme.
• More deprived and underprivileged non-beneficiary schools should also be
brought on board the programme in order to achieve the desired objectives and
lure donor support.
2.4.3.4 Outlook for the Year 2015
The year 2015 is anticipated to witness vigorous and revitalization of commitment to
intensify monitoring of the programme. In view of this, a strategic monitoring plan has
been drawn to reinforce efforts and commitment for this purpose.
However, this can only be achieved if there is regular means of transport, preferably a
motorbike to undertake routine checks on the caterers’ activities. It is sometimes
worrisome and disheartening to imagine how such a huge amount of money is spent on
this very important Government Policy Initiative, without the provision of effective
monitoring tools, especially a regular means of transport to carry out appropriate checks
in the beneficiary schools. This really makes monitoring activities extremely difficult to
undertake.
2.5 EVALUATION AND PARTICIPATORY M&E
� Participatory M&E is a valuable tool to capture perceptions and whether
interventions have met these expectations.
Focus Group Discussions were used to solicit information on whether interventions
undertaken met peoples’ expectations.
� The MPCU interacted with the Opinion Leaders, Civic Society Organizations, to solicit
their views on the quality of programmes and projects implemented.
21
CHAPTER THREE
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
3.0 THE WAY FORWARD
Key Issues addressed and those yet to be addressed include:
1. Monitoring of Projects
Monitoring of programmes and projects was not regular. The Municipal Monitoring
Team, for lack of vehicle, did not do frequent monitoring.
2. Delay in Completion of Projects
Most projects have been on-going for a very long time, due to delays in the payment of
contractors.
3. Procurement of Works/Goods and Services
The right procedures and the Public Procurement Guidelines were followed in the
procurement of works, goods and services.
4. Most projects that were planned to be have been executed by the end of the plan
period were not implemented for lack of funds.
3.1 RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations have been made:
• Project Managers/Supervisors must strengthen their supervision to ensure quality
of works at the project sites.
• The MPCU must intensify their monitoring role. Community Leaders must be
encouraged to monitor projects in their communities.
• Adequate resources must be voted for M&E activities in the Municipality.
3.2 CONCLUSION
In spite of the numerous challenges of inadequate staff and office accommodation,
inadequate vehicles, and low revenue generation, just to mention but a few, the
Municipality is still focused on the fulfillment of its development agenda, and achieving
its set of goal (to enhance the socio-economic conditions of residents without
compromising the welfare of the future generation in meeting their development need,
whilst increasing access to critical infrastructure such as road, education and health etc
in the Municipality).
