1.2 PROCESSES INVOLVED AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED. The M&E process involves tracking the progress of programs and projects implementation and the assessment of inputs, outcomes, outputs and impact using participatory approach with the involvement of stakeholders, such as community members, development partners and Assembly members. The M&E system has an institutionalized arrangement at District, Regional and National levels. The National Development Planning Committee (NDPC) represents the National body and the main activity is to provide guidelines for the preparation of development plans and budgets and also monitor the implementation of plans such as, the M&E & DMTDP Plan. The NDPC also receive data and monitor the implementation of DMTDP of various districts through APR and M&E reports and to ensure that districts perform in the realization of the National objectives as contained in the GSGDA II. Again the RPCU ensures that, the capacities and logistical support to Districts Assemblies are provided for effective monitoring activities. At the District level, the DPCU develop key indicators and targets and lead in the M&E activities. Beneficiary communities formed community Implementation Committees (CIC) and monitor the implementation processes of activities for specific projects such as the DACF, DDF and other projects. The team under take periodic project inspections and attend the monthly site meetings with contractors and consultants, quarterly and annual meetings. Also the DPCU members carry out quarterly monitoring visit to projects sites and to monitor the progress of work as contained in the AAP, led by The DPO. .Also representative of the user agencies and elected Assembly members of beneficiary communities are part of the M&E teams. .
1.3 MAJOR CHALLENGES IN THE M& E ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: •
Lack of commitment of M&E team members to M&E activities
•
Inadequate logistics, such as vehicles and motor bikes and funds for M&E activities
•
The GSOP project and DDF funds is the only reliable logistics for M&E in the district.
•
Participatory M&E is not encouraged as M&E of individual department is done in the district.
•
Tight schedules of department make it impossible for M & E in the district.
•
Also some members of the DPCU have little knowledge about M&E activities and report
1.4 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF DMTDP Nkoranza North District Assembly has implemented the DMTDP for 2014 activities. This was done through the annual Action Plan curved out from the development plan. However some projects which could not be implemented in 2013 due to inadequate funds and the delay in the release of DACF were rolled over to 2014. It is also important to note that, the bad nature of communities in the district delayed project completion. Sometimes delay
roads to beneficiary
on the part of contractors
delayed planned projects .Planned activities for educational infrastructure have been executed with funding from GETFUND , District Development Facility, GSOP and other donor support through CWSA for the provision of boreholes.. Sanitation projects have recorded implementation, but the performance for the environmental sanitation and health education has not been appreciable. The implementation of the DMTDP has received attention. However much needs to be done in the area of health, education and training of staff to achieve the GSGDA objectives. The table below shows the various projects implemented in 2014. NKORANZA NORTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY,ANNUAL ACTION PLAN,2014

1.5 M&E ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR 2014 This section covers the M&E activities for 2014.They include the following: Programme and projects status for the year 2014 •
Update disbursement from funding sources
•
Update on indicators and targets
•
Update on critical development and poverty issues
• Evaluation and participatory M&E. 1.5.1 REPORT ON FUNDING BY SOURCES GH¢ Sources DACF IGF DDF GSOP Disability Fund GSFP MP Fund Total
Funds 996,669.97 159,591.60 608,998.10 169,549.64 28,266,19 625,251.00 107,256.67 2,535,991.57
A) There is always delay in the release of funds, especially the DACF which subsequently delays planned projects and programmes in the District. The only reliable fund is DDF, GSOP and other donor funded projects which is also nonexistence in the district. B) The DA is making effort to generate resources locally through the IGF, which is sometimes difficult due to the inadequate data on ratable items in the District as compare to Nkoranza South and other places. The DA has targeted Ghc 217,994.00 to generate Internal Generated Fund for 2014 and and received Ghc 159,591.60 representing 73% of the target for the year. This achievement can be attributed to the efforts of the revenue task force as well as the commission collectors. B) Another challenge with regards to generating funds is the inadequate economic activities in the district. The revenue generation is very low in the area considering the vast nature of the district which is managed by few revenue collectors. The District has only 4 area councils, which is in charge of the entire district in terms of revenue mobilisation. More area councils are required in other parts of the District . 1.5.2 UPDATE ON DISBURSEMENT Expenditure Education (DACF) Health Governance PE Maintenance MP Miscellaneous
Funds
TOTAL
a) The DACF is inadequate in view of the numerous deductions made at source coupled with the delays in the release of the fund subsequently delays planned projects and programme, hence
the DA is unable to achieve its developmental objectives.

resulting in an
increased in the enrolment of children. The implication is that, the DA needs to provide KG blocks in the district The achievement of the project includes the following: 1. Increased enrolment of both boys and girls 2. Improved retention of school children and nutrition/feeding The major challenges are as follows: 1. Pilfering of food items 2.
lack of funds for monitoring
3. Inadequate kitchen for caterers. 4.
Delay for payments to caterers
5. Ghc0.50 per child a day is inadequate and also taxed making worse for caterers.
1.5.4.3 NON PHYSICALLY PROJECTS (a) ACDI/VOCA Under the ACi, 300 farmers and 6 staffs have been trained on scion selection, grafting for reproductive tree in the district. Also FBOs were also trained under the ACDI/VOCA support with 40 farmers participated ie 16males and 24 female.

1.2 PROCESSES INVOLVED AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED. The M&E process involves tracking the progress of programs and projects implementation and the assessment of inputs, outcomes, outputs and impact using participatory approach with the involvement of stakeholders, such as community members, development partners and Assembly members. The M&E system has an institutionalized arrangement at District, Regional and National levels. The National Development Planning Committee (NDPC) represents the National body and the main activity is to provide guidelines for the preparation of development plans and budgets and also monitor the implementation of plans such as, the M&E & DMTDP Plan. The NDPC also receive data and monitor the implementation of DMTDP of various districts through APR and M&E reports and to ensure that districts perform in the realization of the National objectives as contained in the GSGDA II. Again the RPCU ensures that, the capacities and logistical support to Districts Assemblies are provided for effective monitoring activities. At the District level, the DPCU develop key indicators and targets and lead in the M&E activities. Beneficiary communities formed community Implementation Committees (CIC) and monitor the implementation processes of activities for specific projects such as the DACF, DDF and other projects. The team under take periodic project inspections and attend the monthly site meetings with contractors and consultants, quarterly and annual meetings. Also the DPCU members carry out quarterly monitoring visit to projects sites and to monitor the progress of work as contained in the AAP, led by The DPO. .Also representative of the user agencies and elected Assembly members of beneficiary communities are part of the M&E teams. .
1.3 MAJOR CHALLENGES IN THE M& E ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: •
Lack of commitment of M&E team members to M&E activities
•
Inadequate logistics, such as vehicles and motor bikes and funds for M&E activities
•
The GSOP project and DDF funds is the only reliable logistics for M&E in the district.
•
Participatory M&E is not encouraged as M&E of individual department is done in the district.
•
Tight schedules of department make it impossible for M & E in the district.
•
Also some members of the DPCU have little knowledge about M&E activities and report
1.4 STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF DMTDP Nkoranza North District Assembly has implemented the DMTDP for 2014 activities. This was done through the annual Action Plan curved out from the development plan. However some projects which could not be implemented in 2013 due to inadequate funds and the delay in the release of DACF were rolled over to 2014. It is also important to note that, the bad nature of communities in the district delayed project completion. Sometimes delay
roads to beneficiary
on the part of contractors
delayed planned projects .Planned activities for educational infrastructure have been executed with funding from GETFUND , District Development Facility, GSOP and other donor support through CWSA for the provision of boreholes.. Sanitation projects have recorded implementation, but the performance for the environmental sanitation and health education has not been appreciable. The implementation of the DMTDP has received attention. However much needs to be done in the area of health, education and training of staff to achieve the GSGDA objectives. The table below shows the various projects implemented in 2014. NKORANZA NORTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY,ANNUAL ACTION PLAN,2014

1.5 M&E ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR 2014 This section covers the M&E activities for 2014.They include the following: Programme and projects status for the year 2014 •
Update disbursement from funding sources
•
Update on indicators and targets
•
Update on critical development and poverty issues
• Evaluation and participatory M&E. 1.5.1 REPORT ON FUNDING BY SOURCES GH¢ Sources DACF IGF DDF GSOP Disability Fund GSFP MP Fund Total
Funds 996,669.97 159,591.60 608,998.10 169,549.64 28,266,19 625,251.00 107,256.67 2,535,991.57
A) There is always delay in the release of funds, especially the DACF which subsequently delays planned projects and programmes in the District. The only reliable fund is DDF, GSOP and other donor funded projects which is also nonexistence in the district. B) The DA is making effort to generate resources locally through the IGF, which is sometimes difficult due to the inadequate data on ratable items in the District as compare to Nkoranza South and other places. The DA has targeted Ghc 217,994.00 to generate Internal Generated Fund for 2014 and and received Ghc 159,591.60 representing 73% of the target for the year. This achievement can be attributed to the efforts of the revenue task force as well as the commission collectors. B) Another challenge with regards to generating funds is the inadequate economic activities in the district. The revenue generation is very low in the area considering the vast nature of the district which is managed by few revenue collectors. The District has only 4 area councils, which is in charge of the entire district in terms of revenue mobilisation. More area councils are required in other parts of the District . 1.5.2 UPDATE ON DISBURSEMENT Expenditure Education (DACF) Health Governance PE Maintenance MP Miscellaneous
Funds
TOTAL
a) The DACF is inadequate in view of the numerous deductions made at source coupled with the delays in the release of the fund subsequently delays planned projects and programme, hence
the DA is unable to achieve its developmental objectives.
1.5.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF M&E PLAN The implementation of the M&E plan has received attention by various sectors in the District, as indicated in the quarterly report. However the M&E is faced with a lot of challenges in terms of logistics and funds for its implementation. 1.5.4 UPDATE ON CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY ISSUES 1.5.4.1 THE CAPITATION GRANT IMPLEMENTATION IN THE DISTRICT The introduction of the capitation grant has brought about an increased in school enrolment, .Implies overcrowded and pressure on teachers .The implication is that the DA will invest in infrastructure both classroom block and teachers accommodation. 1.5.4.2 THE SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMME There are 28 beneficiary schools under the school feeding programme is in 2014
resulting in an
increased in the enrolment of children. The implication is that, the DA needs to provide KG blocks in the district The achievement of the project includes the following: 1. Increased enrolment of both boys and girls 2. Improved retention of school children and nutrition/feeding The major challenges are as follows: 1. Pilfering of food items 2.
lack of funds for monitoring
3. Inadequate kitchen for caterers. 4.
Delay for payments to caterers
5. Ghc0.50 per child a day is inadequate and also taxed making worse for caterers.
1.5.4.3 NON PHYSICALLY PROJECTS (a) ACDI/VOCA Under the ACi, 300 farmers and 6 staffs have been trained on scion selection, grafting for reproductive tree in the district. Also FBOs were also trained under the ACDI/VOCA support with 40 farmers participated ie 16males and 24 female. (b) Animal Production A total of 115 animals were supplied to 21 farmers under the credit parkage.18 males and 3 females benefited the facility. The agricultural sector has also carried out vaccination and prophylactic treatment of various kinds of animals and pets. A total of 2540 of animals have been vaccinated, (c) Waste Management There has been regular supply of logistics from Zoom lion Ghana to improve hygiene and sanitation in the District. The district is able to acquire a waste disposal site at Busunya, Yefri and Kranka.
The DA has organized a sensitization programme in Kranka on the dangers associated with indiscriminate disposal of waste. The EHU has also organized a cleaning up exercise in the district. The DA also carried out house to house inspection of 8511 houses, 9 health centers ,80 basic schools, 6No industries ,market and lorry stations in the district. Again, the unit inspected various sanitation sites in the district to ensure effective and conducive atmosphere for the citizens of the district 1.5.4.4 SOCIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAMMES a.

The programme was successful and farmers participated actively.
People living with HIV/AIDS as at the end of 2013
Source: DHD, 2013 The figure clearly shows an improvement in policy measures of the district to curb the pandemic. In 2010, 20 people were affected. The situation dropped in 2011 but rose unexpectedly in 2012. With many efforts from the DHMT, the situation reduced convincingly to 8 in the whole district by the end of 2013.
g. CARMMA Projects The District Assembly has initiated projects and programmes to reduce Maternal Morbidity in the District by providing a number of CHPs compounds with equipment in the area thereby improving the health status of citizen especially.

The DA has also taken a policy to incorporate the provision of KVIP Toilets and Urinals for boys and girls at all basic schools in the District. These facilities are designed and well labeled to meet the gender needs of both boys and girls. (a) Population figures Age Cohort 0-5 6-17 18-64 65+

The population distribution indicates that there is a higher active population (56.3 per cent) figure than inactive population (43.7 per cent) in the District; therefore a strong economically active population in the district. This indicates an active population in the district which is the potential factor for development. However, the district has also recorded a dependency population. i. Educational Enrolments Enrolment at the pre-school level increased from 4,177 in 2010 to 4,813 in 2013, representing 15.2% percentage change.
