ANALYSIS OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE PERFORMANCE
The Assembly budgeted a total amount of GHȼ 3,558,339.00 but was able to generate GHȼ 1,526,033.21
representing 42.88% in 2010. In 2011, the total approved revenue estimated was GHȼ 3,351,583.15 and an
amount of GHȼ 1,937,858.08 representing 57.82% while 2012 had an approved revenue estimate of GH₵
3,706,659.00 with GH₵1,460,899.42 generated representing 39.41%. In 2013 total revenue of GH₵
4,433,865.84 was estimated and Assembly was able to generate an amount of GHȼ 2,394,740.00
representing 54.01%.
On the part of expenditure a total amount of GHȼ 3,558,337.00 was approved for spending but
GHȼ1,526,033.21 was actually spent representing 42.87% in 2010. GH₵ 3,351,583.15 was the approved
expenditure for 2011 and out of this; an amount of GHȼ 1,843,555.24 was spent representing 55.01%. 2012
also had an approved expenditure of GHȼ 3,706,659.00 and GHȼ 1,460,899.42 representing 39.41% was
spent. The Assembly in 2013 approved an expenditure of GHȼ 5,571,546.80 and GHȼ2, 723,013.50 spent
represents 48.87%.
The implication for the about financial analysis is that the Assembly was able to achieve an average of
48.53% of its projected revenue, this went a long way to attract programmes and projects implementation.
Shortfalls of the revenue were basically due to the non-release of Grants especially DACF on time. Serious
efforts must be put in place to generate more IGF for development from 2014-2015. Realistic revenue targets
must also be set during budgeting.
On the part of expenditure an average of 46.54% was achieved means that most of the programmes and
projects were not started at all while those started were not completed on time due to delay in the payments
of certificates or activity expenditure.
REASONS FOR THE NON-ACHIEVEMENT OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
i. Unreliable and untimely release of Development Budget (DACF) and Development Partners
Funds for project implementation.
20
ii. Some of the goals and objectives were not achievable within the short period set for the plan.
The goals and objectives had long gestation period.
iii. The Vastness of the district makes programmes and projects implementation had little impact
on the lives of the people.
iv. The goals and objectives set were not directly targeted at poverty reduction (unemployment).
v. Absence of periodic review of the Development Plan.
PROBLEMS/CONSTRIANTS ENCOUNTERED DURING PLAN IMPLEMENTATION.
i. Insufficient and reliable data for planning purposes.
ii. Non-functioning of the sub-structures to provide inputs for the plan preparation.
iii. High level of expectations from the electorate for service delivery within a short plan period
iv. Delay in the release of funds for project implementation
v. Too many directives from the ministries as to the use of DACF which affect the Assembly’s
focus and vision on development agenda
vi. Plan not targeted at direct job and wealth creation but rather mainly on infrastructure
provision.
vii. Cumbersome procurement process which delays the implementation of physical programmes
and projects.
LESSONS LEARNT
i. The need for the nation to review the Procurement Act (Act 663) after 4 –years of implementation.
ii. Periodic review of the plan to see if the Assembly is on course in its implementation.
iii. The Assembly should look for other sources of funding for project implementation other than DACF,
DDF and GETFUND. The Assembly should step up its IGF to enable them use some for minor
projects execution .Other sources are Public Private Partnership (PPP)
iv. The 2014-2017 Development plans should focus also on job/wealth creation for Local Economic
Development.
v. Decentralised departments should study the plan and implement their programmes and projects in
line with the district and national goals and aspirations.
vi. Shortfalls in DACF releases greatly affect development projects undertaken by such funding.
Revenue Mobilization would have to be stepped up to fill in the gap
21
vii. The Assembly would focus on the human capacity building which deals with the training of the
people to build their capacity. Such training would empower them economically and financially
to establish jobs on their own to reduce employment pressure on the formal sector.
viii. Operations and maintenance of programmes and projects should be given the needed attention to
sustain the investment for a long time.
ix. The programmes and projects not implemented in the last plan must be evaluated to ascertain
their relevance for inclusion in the next Development Plan.
x. Adequate provision must also be made to complete all on-going programmes and projects.

CHAPTER TWO
DISTRICT PROFILE
2.0 THE DISTRICT ASSEMBLY
Adansi South District Assembly (ASDA) is one of the thirty (30) administrative Metropolitan, Municipal
and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It was carved out of the erstwhile
Adansi West District and Adansi East District Assemblies in the year 2004 with Legislative Instrument (LI
1752).
The Assembly’s revised vision and mission statements are as follows:
Vision

employable skills, while giving the people access to basic services and bringing the vulnerable and excluded
to the mainstream of development.
Mission
The Adansi South District exist to improve the standard of living of the people in the District through the
provision of economic, social and political facilities with the enabling environment for private participation
and investment in the District with qualified human resource. .
2.1 ADANSI SOUTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY AND ITS OBJECTIVES
The Adansi South District Assembly is the highest political and administrative body of the District and
therefore exercises deliberative, legislative and executive functions. It has the mission and responsibility to
improve the quality of life of the people through sustainable development.
To achieve this mission, the Assembly has set the following objectives:

Assembly and its decentralized departments
To monitor, co-ordinate and harmonize the implementation of development plans and activities in the
District Assembly
To facilitate the provision of basic social and economic infrastructure and services in the District
To facilitate community-based and private sector development in the District.
23
2.2 THE STATE AND FUNCTIONS OF AREA COUNCILS
The District has one Town Council and Six Area councils. They are New Edubiase Town Council,
Akrofuom Area Council, Ampunyasi Area Council, Wuruyie Area Council, Atobiase/Apagya Area Council,
Praso Area Council and Akutreso Area Council. All Councils have chairpersons and secretaries together with
revenue collectors. They also have offices for their daily activities.
2.3 PHYSICAL AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
The Adansi South District is one of the thirty (30) Districts in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The District lies
within Latitude 40” North and 6 degrees 22” North and Longitude 1 degree West and 1 degree 38” West. It
is on the Southern part of the region. Other Districts in the region sharing boundaries with it are Obuasi
Municipal and Adansi North Districts to the North and North East respectively. The District also shares
boundaries with Assin District in the Central Region to the South and to the East by Birim North and South
Districts of the Eastern Region. The position of the District in both national and regional context is shown
on their respective maps (Fig 1 and 2). The District has a total land representing an area of 899sq.km, which
is approximately 4% of the total land area of the Ashanti Region. About 24% (334.5sq km) of this total land
area is made up of forest reserves.
Fig 1: Adansi South District in National Context
24
Fig. 2.2 Adansi South District in Regional Context
25
2.3.1 Relief and Drainage
The land ranges from flat to gentle undulating with average elevation of about 350 metres above sea level.
Generally, the District is hilly with several rivers and streams. Major rivers such as Pra, Fum, Muma, Subin,
Menso, Subri, Supong, Krodua , Offin and Aprapo are in the District and serve as major drainage channels.
Minor streams also drain into the major rivers.
Fig. 2.3 Relief and Drainage Map of Adansi South District
2.3.2 Climate
The Climatic condition in the District is generally, favourable with mean monthly temperatures ranging
between 26 degrees Celsius and 29 degrees Celsius. February and March are the hottest months of the year.
The extensive nature of the forest reserves in the District ensures a very good rainfall distribution pattern,
which is characterized by two rainy seasons with peak periods around May – June and October. The average
annual rainfall figures are between 160 mm and 180mm with an average of 150 rainy days recorded every
year.
2.3.4 Vegetation and Forest Reserves
The Adansi South District is within the rain forest belt and it is characterized by moist semi-deciduous forest
with thick vegetative cover and growth. In some parts of the District, the natural vegetation is steadily
degenerating into secondary forest. Relatively, little virgin forest remains outside the main forest reserves
26
and this condition can be attributed to persistent slash and burn methods as well as the incidence of bush fires
in the dry season. Despite these improper environmental practices with their detrimental effects on the
vegetation of the District, forest reserves still exist and they cover approximately 188sq.km in the total land
area of the District.
Fig. 2.4 Map Showing Vegetation and Forest Reserves of Adansi South District
The Forestry Services Division of the Forestry Commission continues do its work in the District. Protection
of forest reserves, boundary maintenance and inspection, of the following forests reserves is still ongoing;
Onuem Nyamebe, Kunsimoa, Cheremoase, Nyamebe Bepo, Afia Shelter Belt, Onuem Bepo, Kototintin,
Numia all covering a total perimeter of 188.03 km square. Also contract boundary cleaning, boundary
planting, greenbelt maintenance, wildfires/bush fire education, enrichment planting was carried out during
the year. The main offence which is illegal felling and sawing of trees such as Wawa, Danta, Edinam,
Mahogany, Sapele however continues to hamper the work of the division.
27
2.3.5 Soil Types
Knowledge of soil types in an area is an important pre-requisite for planning since it helps to advise on the
type of crops the soil can support. This is particularly true for the District since more than half of the
population depend on farming for their livelihood. The Agricultural Extension Department of the District
describes the soil as very fertile with a high humus content, which have the capacity to support tree crops
such as cocoa, oil palm, cola nuts as well as staples such as cassava, plantain and a variety of vegetables.
The types of soils in the District are:
a) Juaso – Morso Association
These are mainly found in the northern parts of the District. They have been developed over Tarkwaian
rocks. They support crops such as cocoa, coffee, citrus, oil palm, maize, cassava and other root crops.
b) Swedru – Nsaba Simple Association
These are found in the eastern parts of the District, especially around Subriso. They have been developed
over granite and associated rocks. They support crops such as Cocoa, oil palm, plantain, cocoyam, cassava
and maize.
c) Bekwai – Oda Compound Association
This association of soil type has been developed over upper and lower Biriman rocks and is found around
New Edubiase and Akutreso. They support tree crops such as cocoa, oil palm as well as staples such as
cassava, plantain, cocoyam, maize and vegetables.
d) Awaham – Kakum - Kyekyerewere Association
These are mainly found around Adansi Praso. They have been developed over alluvium rocks. Crops that
thrive very well in this soil type include maize, cassava, etc. The various soil types are illustrated on the soil
map.
2.3.6 Agricultural Land Use
Out of the total land area of the District, that is 899sq.Km, 60% (802.8sq.km) is under tree and food crop
production. About 90% of this 802.8 square kilometers land is cultivated by peasant farmers using the
traditional farming implements and methods that is slash and burn and shifting cultivation. The 10% of the
arable land area is cultivated by individuals or organizations whose cultivated acreage is larger (16 acres to
over 25 acres) than the peasant farmers. However, most of these people also practice the slash and burn
system.
28
The cropping pattern in the District is the mixed cropping systems where one parcel of cleared land contains
most, if not all, of the staples produced in the District. Tree crops are also mixed with other crops, especially
during the first two years of planting.
2.3.7 Geology and Minerals
Most of the North Western parts of the District lie within the gold belt. Towns such as Akrofuom, Sikaman,
and Nyankomase have been identified as having gold and diamond deposits.
Fig. 2.5 Geology Map of the District
2.3.8 Surface Accessibility
Surface accessibility in the District is basically in the form of road network/transport system. It has a first
class asphalt road from Amudurase to Adansi Praso on the Cape-Coast – Kumasi trunk road. In addition to
this, there are about 176km network of second and 69km third class roads respectively. Footpath or tractor
paths are a common feature in the District and most of these foot/tractor paths are motorable during the dry
season. However, when the rains set in, due to the numerous streams, these paths become unmotorable.
29
Fig. 2.6 Map showing roads in the District
2.4 CULTURE
Cultural activities in the District are very diverse as a result of the many migrants in the District. There are
two main festivals that are celebrated by the people in the District namely, Akwasidae and Afahyea. Since
the people are predominantly Akans, Akwasidae is usually celebrated on every 40th day in a year in the
District and Afahyea festival is also celebrated from the second week in November to first week in
December annually. There is a vibrant cultural troupe in the District that entertains guests during special
occasions.
Adansi South District is made up of multi-ethnic communities, inhabited by many of the country’s ethnic
groups, including the indigenous Asantes, Ga-Damgbes, Fantis, Ewes, Akwapims, Akims as well as Mole-
Dagbani and other ethnic groups from the North. These multi-ethnic settlers have come from far and near to
engage in production of cocoa crops which is the principal economic activity of the District. The Asantes
constitutes the majority constituting 33 percent.
30
2.4.1 Religious Affiliation
The main religious groups in the District are Christianity, Islam and Traditional Religion. Analysis of
religious composition indicates that about 82 percent of the population are Christians while about seven
percent and two percent are Islam and Traditionalists respectively.
The data from the 2010 PHC revealed that various forms of religious affiliations exist in the District. These
religious affiliations include Catholic, Protestant (Anglican/Lutheran) Pentecostal/Charismatic, Other
Christians, Islam and Traditionalist. As presented in Table 1 Catholic, Protestant, Pentecostal and other
Christians form the larger Christian group (94,259) of the total population 115,378. Islam represents 6.8
percent, Traditionalists represent 1.6 percent while other religions constitute 0.9 percent. The populations
that belong to non-religion however constitute 9.0 percent of the entire District population.
The table further shows that Pentecostal/Charismatic (31.2%) is the highest of the Christian denomination,
followed by Protestants (17%) and then Catholics (8.7%) as well as all the others being 24.7. Proportion
(6.8%) of Islam faith is much lower in the District than in the entire Ashanti Region (15.2%) and in the
country (17.6%).
Moreover all Christian denominations have higher proportion of males than females, except “Other
Christians” (28,479), where the proportion of female (25.6%) is higher than male (23.7%). The figure for the
males belonging to Islam (7.5%) is also higher than the female (6.0%). In the case of Traditionalist and
“Other religion”, the proportion of male and female is 1.6 percent and 0.9 percent respectively).

2.5 SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS
The largest settlement in the District in terms of population is New Edubiase with a population of 19,974. It
has most of the facilities indicated in the scalogram analysis. This makes the community occupy the first
position in terms of settlement hierarchy. The next settlement of importance in terms of facilities is
Akrofuom, which has a population of 10,399. The communities, which follow Akrofuom in terms of
settlement hierarchy, are Atobiase, Apagya, Praso, Ataase Nkwanta, Sikaman, Amudruase, Kubi Kwanto,
Tweapease, Fenaso Nkwanta, Atwereboana and Subriso.
The rest of the communities have a centrality score below 100. These settlements lack a lot of facilities as
indicated in the scalogram analysis. It is worth noting that most of the big communities are found along the
main Kumasi to Cape-Coast road. And this shows the importance of good road network in the development
of communities, as most of the facilities are located in the communities along the major road.

2.6 HOUSEHOLD SIZE / CHARACTERISTICS
The average household size of the District is about 4.4. This compared with the average household
size of 5.2 in 2000 indicates a decline in household size in the District. The predominant household
heads are men. It can be seen from Table 8.1 that the total stock of houses in the District is 20,541
comprising 87 percent in the rural areas and 13 percent in the urban.
Population per house is the proportion of the total population to the number of houses. It can further be
seen that the average household per house for the District is 1.2 and that of rural and urban areas are1.2
and 1.8 respectively. The population per house in the District is 5.5, while that of rural and urban areas
are 5.3 and 6.9 respectively.
The average household size in the District is 4.4 which is same as that of the country (4.4) and slightly
higher than that of the region (4.1). In rural areas, the average household size is 4.6 whereas 3.8 is for
urban areas.

2.6.1 Economic Status of Population
The 2010 PHC classified the population as economically active and economically inactive population.
Economically active population describes population as employed and unemployed. It also takes into
consideration the reasons why a population is unemployed. Economically inactive population on the
other hand is the population, which can neither be classified as employed nor unemployed. This
category of population was either engaged with household chores, full time education, disable/sick or
is on pension/ retired, and for that matter did not seek job within seven days preceding the Census
Night.
36
Table 4 and Figure 6 present the population 15years and older by activity status and sex. The total
number of the population that is economically active is 52,919. This figure comprises of 26,512 males
and 26,407 females. The population is dominated by employed population (97.2%) which is slightly
higher for the males (97.6%) compared to females (96.9%). This proportion is also mainly (94.8%) for
those who work within seven days preceding Census Night. Majority of those who are unemployed
(65.9%) are those seeking work for the first time and available for work comprising 69.0 percent males
and 63.5 percent females. Whereas the total population 15years and older that are economically not
active is 19.8 percent of the population, proportion of the male is 18.9 percent whiles that of the
females is 20.7 percent. The Census outcome also reveals that, the figure for economically not active
population is mostly pertaining to those who are in full time education (51.1%).

2.6.2 Rural – Urban Split
During the 2000 population census the rural population was 63,895 representing 79.9 percent of the
population. According to the District Data base 2006 the rural population totaled 76,905 representing
78.1% while the urban population was 21,532 representing 21.9%. The Urban population for 2010 is
estimated at 36,667 forming 32.5%. The urban population has been increasing since 1996. The

2.7 WATER AND SANITATION
The purpose of good drinking water is to a large extent to minimize the prevalence of water borne
diseases among household members. The source of drinking water is important because water borne
diseases are common in Ghana and members of households are better off if they have access to good
drinking water (Eastern Region PHC report, 2013).

Table 14 and Figure 8.2 present information on main source of drinking water and water for other
domestic use, of dwelling unit at the District, regional and national level. The available information
from the 2010 PHC reveals that, a greater proportion (50.8%) of the household use Bore-
hole/Pump/Tube well as their main source of drinking water. This is also true for both regional and
national level. Furthermore, households also derive their drinking water from River/Stream (16.0%)
and protected well (15.3%). These followed Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well in highest order. The table
further shows that, only few of the households have access to pipe-borne water inside dwelling
unit(0.8%) and outside dwelling unit (4.2%). The 2010 Census information also indicates that, 4.3
percent of households drink from Unprotected well and 0.1 percent drinks from Unprotected spring
and Dugout/Pond/Lake/Dam/Canal each. Whereas a higher proportion of the urban households use
Protected well (37.7%) as their main source of drinking water, the rural households derive their main
source of drinking water mainly from Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well (54.7%).
Information on sources of water for other domestic use on the other hand shows that about half of
households use Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well (48.7%) for domestic purposes in the District. This is
followed by Protected well (18.4%) and River/Stream (17.0%). The main source of water for other
domestic use at the regional level is Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well (354,585). It can also be inferred from
Table 8.10 that, the largest proportion of the District urban households (81.4%) uses Bore-
hole/Pump/Tube well or Protected well as their main source of water for domestic use, while more
than half of the rural household (52.3%) derive their main source of water for other domestic use from
Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well.

2.7.1 Bathing and Toilet Facilities
This section discusses the use of bathing and toilet facilities in the Adansi South District. The total
number of household using one form of toilet facility or the other is 24,046, representing 98.8 percent
of the entire household in the District. As presented in Table 16 and Figure 8.3, the proportion of the
household population that use public toilet (51.6%) is the highest compared to the national average of
34.6percent and regional proportion of 43.3 percent. The total of 1,580 households representing 6.2
percent however does not have access to any toilet facility and therefore resort to the use of bush, field
or beach. The proportion of household in the rural locality with no access to toilet facility (6.2%), and
those with pit latrine (34.3%) and public toilet facilities (52.9%) are relatively higher compared to
those for urban locality ( 6.1%, 20.6% and 46.0% respectively).

2.8 SERVICES
2.8.1 Tourism
There are a couple of tourist sites identified in the District and some of these include a Birds Sanctuary
at Bonkro (White -Necked Picathartes), a Snake Palm Tree at Pra- Birim Aboi, the Nkabom festival
which is celebrated every three years by Adansi Chiefs, the confluence of rivers Birim and Pra at Birim
Aboye and Hwidiem respectively.
2.8.2 Agro-Based Industry
50
Small scale agro-based processing activities are carried out in the District. Those involved concentrate
their activities on cassava and rice processing, Akpeteshie Distillery and palm oil extraction, honey
production.
2.8.3 Financial Institutions
The District capital has four main banks namely the Ghana Commercial Bank, Agricultural
Development Bank, the Atobiase Rural Bank and the Adansi Rural Bank. The other rural bank in the
District can be found at Atobiase. The banks are highly patronized by cocoa farmers and the few
salaried workers. The cocoa farmers are mostly seen at the bank during the cocoa seasons and for the
salaried workers during the last week of every month.
There exist quite a good number of Susu collectors and money lenders. Their services are highly
patronized due to easy accessibility.
2.8.4 Information, Communication and Technology
Information Communication Technology (ICT) has played transformational roles in the development
of economies worldwide. Due to the important of ICT in socio-cultural and economic development,
several efforts have been made by the government to enhance ICT in the country. Some of these efforts
include the establishment of Community Information Centre (CIC) under ICT4AD programme. This is
to spread ICT infrastructure in the communities and to ensure that Ghana and its people fully
participate in information age, to enjoy the benefits of emerging information revolution.
This charter therefore explores ICT information on mobile phone ownership, access to computer and
internet as well as household ownership of fixed telephone lines. Information on ICT was recorded for
persons 12years and older for the purpose of 2010 Census. This is however the first time such
questions were asked in national Census.
Apart from the land line telephone service the District also has access to all the other communication
mobile service providers namely MTN, Vodafone, TIGO and AIRTEL. It is believed another mobile
network would be joining very soon.
There is one private internet facility in the District which is at New Edubiase. Due to the pressure on
this facility, the few users of internet move to nearby Districts to seek for information when the need
arises. The District Assembly however has plans of increasing the provision of this important service
in the District.
51
2.8.4.1 Ownership of Mobile Phones
Ghana has experienced a rapid increase in mobile phone penetration and usage in recent times. The use
of mobile phones has been an important mode of communication for social and business activities for
the majority of Ghanaian since as far back as 2003.
Table 18 presents information on mobile phone ownership and internet usage by population 12years
and older in the District. The information from Table 5.1 reveals a total of 21,679 mobile phone
owners in the District. This is less than a third (29.0%) of the population 12 year and older from which
the information on ICTs was collected. Also, 62.2 percent representing the majority of mobile phone
owners are male while female owners represent 37.8 percent.

2.8.4.2 Use of Internet
Just as mobile phone usage, the use of internet facility as a mode of communication provides varieties
of opportunity for business owners as well as public and other private organisations, and even at the
individual level. The use of internet cut across population, sex, rural-urban locality and all levels of
education, from basic to tertiary. There are as low as 1,046 internet users, representing 1.4 percent of
population 12years and older in the District. This is about one (1) out of seventy-four (74) of the
referred population.
2.8.4.3 Household Ownership of Fixed Telephone Lines
Fixed telephone line refers to a telephone lines connecting a customer’s terminal equipment (e.g
telephone set, facsimile machine) to the public switch telephone network. So far as 2010 census is
concerned, information on fixed telephone lines was collected at the household level. 2010 PHC
recorded a very low fixed telephone lines usage in the District. Only 47 households (0.2%) own a fixed
telephone lines. Male headed households (78.7%) own fixed telephone lines while female headed
52
household owners represent 21.3 percent (Table 2.19). The low usage of fixed line is associated with
the increasing usage of mobile phones with its conveniences.

2.8.4.5 Household Ownership of Desktop or Laptop Computer
Access to information and internet becomes easier with ownership of desktop/laptop computer in
modern society. The use of desktop/laptop computer is therefore vital for processing information for
both public and private organisations.
Ownership of desktop/laptop computers were examined at the household level during the 2010 PHC,
to find out the extent to which household members have access to internet and other forms of social
media. As depicted in Table 19, there are as low as 335 households (1.3%) owing desktop/laptop
computer in the District. In relation to sex of household head of the households having desktop/laptop
computer, the figure for male headed household owing desktop/laptop computer stands at 269 while
that of female headed household stands at 66.
2.8.4.6 Postal Service
There are two main postal centres in the District. One is in the District capital, New Edubiase and the
other one at Akrofuom. The revenue generated by the post centres per month has fallen for some time
now due to the high use of mobile phones in the District.
There is however the plan for introducing instant money transfers and Expedited Mails Services in the
District hopefully by the end of the year.
2.9 AGRICULTURE
53
2.9.1 Households in Agriculture
Agriculture employs about 78.5% ( 56 %male and female 44 %) of the active population who are
engaged in the production of various crops such as; Cocoa, Oil palm, Maize, Cassava, Rice, Cocoyam,
Plantain and Vegetables. There is no clear cut distinction between farmers who produce either cash or
food crops. Farmers combine food crops, cash crops and rearing of animals e.g. pigs, small ruminants,
cattle, local birds in small scale.
Cocoa: Production of cocoa is dominant. It substantially employs greater number of people in the
district and thus a determinant in the income distribution in the area.
Oil Palm: Oil palm production is also carried out by most of these farmers and termed as both food and
cash crop. Currently a lot of farmers have gone into oil palm production which makes it next to cocoa.
The land is fertile and is suitable to oil palm production.
Cassava: Cassava is more widely grown and has comparative advantage over the other food crops. It is
sold in the raw form or processed into Gari or ‘Agbelima’ (cassava dough). RTIMP has introduced
high yielding varieties (Afisiafi, Bankyehemaa, Abasafitaa, etc) through MoFA.
Plantain: Plantain production is carried out by most farmers and is mostly done as backyard garden
than on the field. Plantain is not grown solely in the district. It’s mostly cultivated on the field to shade
cocoa seedlings and also during the first year of establishing plantation crops.
Rice: Rice production is on the increase; the undulating nature of the terrain and numerous valley
bottoms has given rise to the production of rice. Currently, JICA in collaboration with MOFA are
training farmers in the district on sustainable rainfed rice production and have now increased
production from 4-8 bags per acre to 30 bags per acre. Rice farmers are now producing good quality
grain and rice seed.
Maize: Maize production has potential but not being exploited. Maize is not grown solely in the district
as in the Northern sector of Ghana and in the transitional zone hence optimum yield is never realized.
Farmers in the district still prefer cultivation of local variety to the improved varieties like Obatampa
which by far yields higher than other local varieties. MoFA is encouraging farmers to adopt improve
maize variety in order to obtain higher produce compared to the local variety.
54
Livestock: Majority of the total population are into crop production to the detriment of livestock which
is poorly patronized. Farmers in the livestock production are also in crop production.
They are engaged in small ruminants like sheep and goats, cattle, pigs and grasscutter. Sheep and goats
are on the free range. Low level in livestock production is due to high incidence of diseases and pests
associated with the rain forest ecology coupled with the fact that there is only one veterinary officer
within the district.
Poultry: There is one large scale farm and two medium scale farms with a total of about 10,000 birds,
using deep litter system technology, whilst local birds are on the free range.
Table 2.20 below shows a breakdown of farming methods and the average output for different crops
cultivated in the District and their output.

2.9.2 Food Security
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of UN, food security is a condition that
exist when all people, at all times, have physical and economical access to sufficient, safe and
nutritious food preferences for an active healthy life. About 1.3 million people, representing 5 percent
of Ghana’s population, are food insecure.
Food security is defined by MoFA as good quality nutritious food hygienically packaged and
attractively presented, available in sufficient quantities all year round and located at appropriate places
at affordable prices.
2.9.2.1 Effect of Climate Change on Food Security
Over the past 5 years the district has experienced a highly variable and unpredictable climate. Weather
predictions have evaded us on several occasions. Currently floods and droughts can occur in the same
area within months. This poses a serious threat to food productivity where production is mainly rain
fed. It is projected that agricultural production and access to food in many households would be
severely affected, if nothing is done about it, food security would seriously be affected and the problem
of malnutrition would be exacerbated.
Other possible impact of the climate change on food security in the district will be decrease in yield
due to loss of land, uncertainty about what and when to plant, increase in the number of people at risk
from hunger and fall of net revenues from crops which will eventually affect growth and income levels
of farmers.
57
Therefore food security programs in the district should therefore consider incorporating climate change
adaptation and mitigation aspects in order for farmers to cope with the prevailing increase in the
frequency and intensity droughts and floods.
2.9.3 Coping Mechanism
As mentioned above, farmers are not able to produce enough to last throughout the year and also
unable to store enough produce for home consumption throughout the year. The crucial question is:
how are they able to survive? There are coping strategies adopted by famers during periods of food
insecurity.
They reduce the number of meals served each day, reduce the size of meals, eat less preferred foods
and sell livestock (goats, pigs, sheep, cattle, and poultry).
Other strategies to sustain food security in district include shifting to less expensive and less preferred
foods, borrowing money to buy food, purchasing food on credit, seeking assistance from friends and
relatives, and purchasing food from hawkers and vendors.
2.9.4 Measures to ensure food security in the district
MoFA has embarked on various Food Security programs in collaboration with other institutions in the
district.
The current Block Farm Program implemented by MoFA was to ensure food security. By this program
improved seeds, fertilizer, herbicides and other inputs are provided to farmers who pay the total
amount involved in kind or cash after harvesting.
The Program was initiated by the Government to address three (3) main objectives. The objectives
include;
Support farmers to increase production to ensure food security
Generate employment in rural communities especially among the youth
Increase income of small farm households.
58
The target crops for the program are Rice and Maize which are the main staples and hence increase in
the production of these crops offer a sure way of addressing food security issues in the district.
Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in collaboration with MoFA have encouraged
farmers in the district to adopt sustainable rainfed lowland rice which has boosted rice production in
the district from 8 bags per acre to 30 bags per acre of paddy rice for the past four years.
The district has not set up any storage facilities to ensure food security thus to purchase and preserve
excess produce from all farmers in order to reduce post-harvest losses, and to insulate farmers against
losses resulting from anticipated increases in production. For that matter, we depend on farmers
produce stored in their cribs and imported rice and local maize from higher growing areas like
Techiman and Abofour, and Kumasi a sales point.
The district faces food insecurity problem on yams since the area is not conducive for its cultivation
and as such, middle women or traders purchase them from Yeji and Techiman into the district.
The insecurity on cassava is mostly experienced 3months after planting the vegetative parts.

2.10.3 Land Tenure System
The system of land Tenure prevalent in the District is principally the “Abunu” and “Abusa” systems.
Whereas in the case of “Abunu”, the farmer shares his produce equally with the land owner or Lander,
in the case of the “Abusa”, the land owner takes two-thirds of the farm produce. This system does not
serve as motivation for increase productivity on the part of the farmers.
In some instances, the land owner dictates the types of crops to be produced irrespective of the
suitability of the land to the crop in question. One possible advantage of the system is the permanence
of land holding, settler farmers are allowed to hold their farms for a long period of time, creating a
situation of security and permanent settlement in areas like Tweapease, Nkrankese and Menang.
2.10.4 Disaster
The Adansi South District has six disaster management zones namely, Asokwa, Fumso, Praso,
Apagya, Akutreso and New Edubiase. Each zone is being manned by two (2) Zonal Coordinators. A
District Co-coordinator and two supporting members of staff head the District office. With respect to
disaster management at the District level, two main committees are responsible for major management
decisions. The committees are District Disaster technical committee and District Disaster management
committee.
Though some zones are now under Adansi North District but since the District has no coordinator,
zones like Fumso and Asokwa are still under the management of Adansi South District.
2.10.4.1 Rain/Wind Storm
64
This is one of the most recurring disasters in the District. For instance, between January and
December 2005, the District recorded (20) cases in (20) communities namely Birim Aboye, Akroso,
Aboabo III etc. The damage caused to personal and physical property of the victims and their
dependants runs into several millions of Cedis. The basic cause of this disaster is the absence of trees
to serve as wind breaks in the communities.
2.10.4.2 Floods
Flooding in its sense has not been recorded in the District some time now. What the District normally
experienced have been pools of stagnant water witnessed after any heavy rainfall in the communities.
Though personal property destroyed in times like this are minimal, the damage done to the buildings
cannot be under estimated. Indiscriminate situating of physical structures, the nature of the soil and
refuse dumps are responsible for this.
2.10.4.3 Domestic Fire
In the year 2002, 2004/2005 seventeen cases were recorded with estimated cost of ¢850,000,000.00.
Four cases were received from Adansi Kenya, Edwinase, Obonsu, Anhwiaso, Nyankomase, Akrofuom
and Amudurase. The number of cases in this disaster seems insignificant but the cost of damage to
personal property was very high. It was only at Amudurase where one of the fire fighters sustained
slight burns on the left arm. These cases also came about through indiscriminate handling of marked
flames.
2.10.4.4 Natural/Bush Fire
Each year, between January and April, bush fire becomes rampant due to the start of new farming
season. The hills opposite Nyankomase are engulfed in smoke leading to fire-outbreak, which destroy
farms and other flora. The actual cause is not yet scientifically known. But it has been widely
explained that the fire emanates from the rocks on the hill, which sparkle when rolling stones rub one
another.
Bush fires caused by individuals have been on the low side. For instance, only three incidences were
recorded at Praso, Edwinase, and Adansi Kenya in 2010. This could be attributed to the intensive
educational campaign made by NADMO in conjunction with the National Fire Service.
65
2.10.4.5 Chain Saw Operation
Indiscriminate logging and the unethical use of machines have caused substantial damage to the
vegetation in the District. Efforts made to discourage this activity have not been very effective as a
result, several wood felted are not cart and therefore, remain at the mercy of termites.
2.10.4.6 Drought
Many rivers and streams in the District dry up few weeks after the rainy season. This is because
falling of trees, especially along river courses and on mountains, continues to be a major problem in
the District. Water therefore becomes very scarce for both domestic and on-farm activities during
greater part of the year.
2.10.4.7 Conflict
As far as conflict is concerned, the District is among the most peaceful Districts in the country, though
it is predominantly multi-tribal residence. The most conspicuous hazard in the District is the impasse
between stool land lords and the tenant settler farmers on the payment of annual land tribute. There
have been occasional isolated cases of conflict between individuals or small groups. The complaints
and Arbitration sub-committee of the Assembly or by the NADMO Technical committee however,
dispose-off these cases peacefully.
2.11 SOCIAL SERVICES
2.11.1Education
The Adansi South District Assembly Education Directorate seeks to expand and promote access to
quality education and effective management at all levels of education through collaboration with Civil
Society Organizations and stakeholders. The vision of the Directorate is to effectively improve
education management and planning efficiency across all levels. The enrolment level of pupils at the
KG level is presented in Table 2.34 below.

Enrolment at the KG level for the District has more females than the males. This shows a commitment
of parents towards girl child education. The number of classrooms however is inadequate to cater for
the population of KG pupils. From the KG level the next level for school pupils is primary school.

Enrolment at the primary level of education is seen to be much higher than the KG level. This can be
attributed to the situation where most children are left at home until they are much older to walk to and
back from school on their own.

The enrolment levels at the JHS level are lower than that of the primary level indicating the inability of
pupils to continue their education. Others may have also migrated from the District to other areas. The
numbers of teachers are also inadequate to cater for the pupils. Additional infrastructure is required to
cater for the pupils and help improve their learning conditions. The Senior High School enrolment is
detailed in the table 2.37 below.

The District has four (4) SHS two being public (2) and two (2) private. At the Senior High School
level, the number of females is also less than the males. The student population in the public schools
far exceeds that of the private school together with the teachers. Enrolment levels are also lower than
68
that recorded at the JHS level thus showing a dropout of students along the educational ladder.

The data above explains the percentage of 2009 P6 pupils who entered JHS 1 for the year 2010
(transition). The District’s transition rate for P6 and JHs 1 ranges from 69% to 86%. By gender, the
rate was higher for both Boys which was 87% and for Girls which was 85%. Grumesa, Mensonso and
New Edubiase had 113% boys; 102% girls, 112% boys and 102% girls respectively. This means that
students who entered Junior High School were more than those who completed Primary 6 as shown in
the data. Some of the main causes of such situations are; some dropouts were re-admitted to those
Junior High Schools, and also some other pupils were from different schools but not the supply
schools.

Table 2.43 shows Teacher Population of Basic Schools (Public and Private). From the data, the District
has a total number of 1,318 Teachers made up of 861 males which is 65% of total teacher population
72
with 457 females making up to 35% of the total teacher population. Pre-school has 274 (i.e. 14%) of
teachers, Primary has 651(i.e. 33%) and Junior High School 393 (20%). Currently the District has
student population of 39,469 against a total teacher population of 1,318. This implies that the Pupil-
Teacher Ratio for the District is therefore 30 students (pupils) to one teacher (30:1) which is far below
the National Norm (45:1). This has come about because of the inclusion of the Youth Employment
teachers swelling up the total number of teachers in the District. Percentage of Trained teachers forty-
six (i.e. 46%) and Pupil-Teacher ratio is 66 pupils to 1 trained teacher (i.e. 66:1). The Directorate is
therefore making every effort to improve the above mentioned Ratios for Quality Education in the
District. For the Senior High School the data is shown below.

From the data above total teachers for the SHS is 155 made up of 84 (i.e. 54%) males and 31 (i.e. 46%)
females. The SHS level is having a total student population of 1,448 against 115 teachers. The SHS
PTR is therefore 13:1. The percentage of trained teachers is 56%. This implies that the Pupil-Trained
Teacher ratio is 22:1 which is far below the national norm which is 35:1.

2.12 VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
Persons with disability (PWD) have been defined as those who are unable to or are restricted in the
performance of specific tasks/ activities due to loss of functions of some part of the body as a result of
impairment or malformation (Ghana Statistical Service, 2012). As a result, PWDs face a wide range of
life challenges because disability in whatever form or type, can reduce an individual’s ability to
function to his/her full potential. Disability can limit an individual’s full participation in a number of
activities in life.
88
In an attempt to understand the situation of PWDs as a guide for policy formulation, the Ghana
Statistical Service, for the first time, collected specific data on PWDs in the 2010 Population and
Housing Census. This chapter discusses the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of PWDs
from the data. It describes population with disability, type of disability, distribution by type of locality,
disability and activity, and disability, education and literacy.
2.12.1 Population with Disability
Generally, there are 3, 633 persons with one form of disability or the other in the District. The number
of disable persons in the District (3.1%) is relatively higher than the regional and national figure of 2.6
and 3.0 respectively (Table 6.1). Also there are slightly more males persons (51.8%) with disability
than females (48.2%).
2.12.2 Types of Disability
Table 6.1 and Figure 6.1 present type of disability with their corresponding shares of the population in
the District. The population with some form of disability, visual/sight impairment (36.6%) is the most
common disability, followed by physical challenges (23.6%) and emotional problems (16.0%). Visual
or sight impairment is also the most common form of disability among both males (35.9%) and
females (37.4%).

2.12.3 Distribution by Type of Locality
In urban communities, there are 704 persons with disability, representing about 19.4 percent, out of
which 320 PWDs are males (3.5%) while 384 are females (3.9%). Persons with sight impairment
(42.6%) top the list with 42.6percent, followed by those with emotional problems (24.6%), and
physical challenges (23.0%). The lowest proportion is persons with other disability.
On the other hand, there are 2,929 persons with disability, representing 80.6 percent of the rural
population. The highest disability rate in the rural communities are persons with visual or sight
impairment (35.2%), followed by those with physical challenges (23.8%) and speech disorder (16.1%)
while the lowest are persons with intellectual malfunctioning (12.3%), as shown in Table 2.55.

In terms of sex, there are more disabled males (1,525) representing 51.9 percent than their female
counterparts, constituting 7.5 percent (1,416). Also, there are greater percentage of disable males that
are employed (1,037) representing 97.6 percent than females (97.9%). From Table 6.2, it can also be
construed that, the number of unemployed disable males (30.4%) and females (37.4%) that are not
available for work (not economically active) are greater than the disable males (2.4%) and females
(2.1%) that are unemployed.

2.12.5 Disability, Education and Literacy
Table 6.3 presents the population three years and older with disability by sex, disability type and level
of education. Among persons with disability, about 41 percent (41.1%) had never attended school
while over 58 percent (58.9%) had obtained some level of education of which 48 percent had basic
(Primary, Middle/JSS/JHS) education. Among persons with hearing impairments, 51.4 percent had
92
never attended school, while, out of those who had any form of education, primary school (20.4) is the
highest level majority had attended, followed by middle/JSS/JHS (20.0%).
Only 32.1 percent of males with disabilities had never attended school, and for those who had some
form of education, 40 percent of males with sight and emotional problems had attended
middle/JSS/JHS which is their highest level. On the other hand, a little more than half (50.8%) of
females with various type of disabilities had never been to school. Among those with sight
impairments, JSS/JHS is the highest level (24.0%) attended by those who had attended school.
2.13 GENDER
Accessibility to land which is one of the basic determinants of economic opportunities favors men due
to cultural factors. Inheritance of property in the family usually favors the male folk.
Participation of women in decision making especially at the Unit, Area Council levels and District
Assembly is not encouraging. Women are usually relegated to the background. Here again cultural
factors are among some of the reasons for preventing participation of women.
The parity of boys and girls in schools is however encouraging at the Primary and JHS levels of the
educational ladder. However, the same cannot be said of the SHS and Tertiary levels.
The implication of these is that more women should be encouraged to take up political appointments at
all levels of decision making. Girl-Child education at the SHS and Tertiary levels must also be
promoted.
2.14 POPULATION
Every population has its important elements such as the size, composition and structure. The statistics
from these indicators thus provide the bases for socio-economic planning at District, regional and
nation levels. The fertility, mortality and migration trends affect the population dynamics.
2.14.1 Population Size and Distribution
The total population for the District according to the 2010 Population and Housing Census is 115,378
comprising 58,039 (50.3%) males and 57,339 (49.7) females. This gives a sex ratio (i.e. number of
93
males to 100 females), of 101.2 (Table 2.1).More so, the share of the population by type of locality,
reveals that 18,966 (16.4%) live in the urban areas as against 96,412 (83.6%) who reside in the rural
area. The dependency ratio for the District is 90.2 comprising 92.7 for males and 87.8 for females.
Urban and rural localities have their age-dependency ratio as 81.5 and 92.0 respectively.
2.14.2 Age-Sex Structure
Figure 2.1 shows the relationship between the age structure and the population distribution by sex.
The results show that Adansi South District has a youthful population (Table 58 and Figure 2.1),
consisting of a large proportion (15.6%) of children under 15 years, and a small proportion (4.6%) of
elderly persons (65 years and older). The age structure of the District’s population is basically shaped
by the effects of high fertility and decreasing mortality rate.

CHAPTER SIX
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
MONITORING AND EVALUATION ARRANGEMENT FOR DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM
DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2010 – 2013)
INTRODUCTION
Planning is not an end in itself but only means of achieving a specific objective. The main objective of the
planning process is the improvement in the well-being of the people, not the planning document. District
Assemblies, as planning authorities are responsible not only for the formulation of plans but also for their
implementation, monitoring and evaluation. One instrument which can be used to measure the success of a
project/programme is the monitoring and evaluation system (M&E).
MONITORING
Monitoring is the continuous or periodic review of the implementation of an activity to ensure that input deliveries,
work schedules, targeted outputs and other required actions are proceeding according to plan. Monitoring as a
management instrument, pre-supposes that development programmes must be managed as planned. Monitoring
measures, records progress of implementation and focuses on the compliance with the plan. It is therefore a
continuous task during the whole life cycle of a programme. The monitoring process requires the timely collection
and analysis of data during the analysis, planning and implementation of the District Three-year Medium Term
(2010 – 2013) Development Plan (DMTDP).
Monitoring is important in achieving efficient and effective project or programme performance by providing
feedback to project management. This enables management to improve operational plans and take timely
corrective action in case of shortfalls and constraints.
Monitoring is important in achieving efficient and effective project or programme performance by providing
feedback to project management. This enables management to improve operational plans and take timely
corrective action in case of shortfalls and constraints.
At the planning level, monitoring process under the 3-year Medium Term Development Plan would compare the
planned time schedules, organizational structure, and financial provisions against actual achievement.
While monitoring is correct oriented, taking the logical framework (log frame) as the core element, four major
areas would be measured and analyzed, based on the indicators which were developed in the planning process.
170
1. The target set in the objectively verifiable indicators (OVI) which measure the achievement of the programme
objective (that is, goal, purpose and outputs.) In this case, direct and indirect impact indicators reflect that the
extent of which projects or programmes in the 3-year medium term development plan is impacting on the lives
of the target population or beneficiaries would be measured.
2. The important assumption which is incorporated into a set of indicators would be continuously observed ad a
measure of external conditions. For the purpose of monitoring development programme, the assumptions upon
which plans have been based and the objectives to be achieved must be clearly spelt out. The assumptions are
very important in monitoring projects because they serve as the pivot around which development programmes
from which project emanate. Assumptions are the necessary conditions that must prevail for projects and
programmes to be implemented successfully. Hence, an assumption must be continuously monitored to test
their validity.
3. Operational indicators have been developed to measure the control of resources, personnel, financial
disbursements, expenditure, incomes and time.
4. Performance and efficiency indicator have been developed to indicate whether activities have been completed.
Monitoring assesses the extent to which the activities are being implemented according to schedule.
5. The means of verification (MOV) would indicate where data can be gathered in a cost-effective way.
The monitoring system devised for the District’s Medium Term Development Plan seeks to examine compliance
with the plan. Simple monitoring techniques like the use of charts indicating time table, responsibility matrix,
financial schedules, completion dates and when monitoring should take place are mainstreamed in the monitoring
arrangements.
There are development programmes or projects implemented by line ministries, non-governmental organizations,
para-statal and the private sector which would be monitored to avert duplication of efforts.
Monitoring the implementation of the District Medium term plan based on the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy
1(GPRS 1) would be done through the use of poverty monitory systems. These would facilitate the tracking of
projected periods to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of wealth and growth inducing pro-pro intervention for
beneficiary communities during the planning process.
Participatory monitoring would be used to record the periodically keep track of progress towards objectives on a
day-to-day, week-to-week and monthly basis. Participatory monitoring would be locally tailored in recording
information which meets local needs and aspirations. Monitoring tools selected primary address cultural, social,
economic factors operating in the community.
171
Pending the release of monitoring and evaluation guidelines from the National Development Planning Commission
(NDPC), a tentative monitoring format has been devised.
The monitoring and evaluation or programmes and projects for the four year planned period (2014-2017) would be
undertaken by the District Monitoring and Evaluation Team. The composition of the team is:
The District Co-coordinating Director
The District Planning Officer
The District Budget Officer
The District Works Engineer
The District Finance Officer
The Chairman Works Sub-committee
The Relevant Heads of the Departments e.g. Agriculture, Education, and Health etc.

EVALUATION
Evaluation determines the causes of deviations from the plan, the initial effects, (planned/unplanned) as well as the
impact the programme has had, e.g., the effect on the target group and many others. Evaluation provides the
planner with the explanation of why things have happened the way they have, thereby giving the beneficiary
communities the necessary information to rectify the anomaly.
Participatory evaluation encourages and reflects on what has happened in the past in order to make decisions about
the future. By evaluation, beneficiary communities learn about things that have worked well and vice versa and
through the process, it becomes more likely that corrective measures will be implemented. The effectiveness of
participatory evaluation lies in the understanding of the community to agree on the purpose of the evaluation. The
objectives of the project, as well as the expected outputs provide a forum for changes and adjustments if the need
arises in order to achieve desired results. In the preparation of the three-year medium term development plan,
173
community evaluation teams are envisaged to play active roles in information gathering, and analysis to ensure that
recommendations from evaluations reach the intended beneficiaries. Decisions made and feedback is incorporated
into the project or activities, to ensure re-planning where necessary.
Terminal, ex-ante and ex-post evaluation would be undertaken to ensure whether the intended result has been
achieved or not as well as the reasons for failure. Terminal evaluation would be undertaken immediately the
programme is completed, while “ex-post” evaluation would be undertaken after some years after completion of
programme. Ex-post evaluation would be undertaken to analyse the goals and objective of the project to determine
the impact which the development plan has had on the target population. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to a
larger extent could be seen as involving different planning processes, such as data collection and analysis,
documentation, assessment and interpretation, decision making and remedial action. Participatory Impact
Monitoring and Evaluation System (PIMES) would be used to analyse and establish correlation between poverty
focused intervention and impact on livelihood.

Medium Term Development Plan .

CHAPTER SEVEN
FINANCIAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGY/ PLAN
DISSEMINATION OF THE DISTRICT MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN (DMTDP) 2014 –2017
This section looks at the dissemination of the DMTDP (2014 –2017) to the relevant stakeholders and decision
makers. This is very important as knowing and sharing the contents with the key stakeholders – Traditional
Authority, Opinion Leaders, Religious Leaders, Sub-District Structures and Civil Society would ensure
accountability and transparency. The tendency is that once accountability and transparency become the bedrock of
governance. It would galvanize their support and commitment towards the implementation of the interventions
contained in the Plan.
In summary, Adansi South District Assembly will implement its communication strategy in order to:
disseminate its programmes, projects, activities and Annual Progress Reports to inform/create awareness
create awareness on the roles and expectations of the stakeholders in the implementation of the District
programmes to improve their living conditions for the period 2014-2017
promote dialogue and generate feedback on the performance of the District
promote access and manage expectations of the public concerning the services of the District
The dissemination strategies of the District Planning and Coordinating Unit (DPCU) would include;
Public Hearing of the DMTDP at the District Level
Organize meetings and workshops with the Sub-District Structures
Meetings with Traditional Rulers, Religious Bodies, Communities and Civil Society Organizations.
Produce and distribute 20 copies of the District Medium Term Development Plan 2014 –2017 to the
National Development Planning Commission, Regional Planning and Coordinating Unit (RPCU), District
Directors of Departments and others.
Organise Quarterly, Annual, Mid-Term and End of Term performance review workshops and disseminate
outcomes to all stakeholders.
