EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Background

The National Development Planning (System) Act 1994 (Act 480), Section 1, 10 and 11 charges

Ministries Departments and Agencies to undertake development planning functions in consultation with

the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) and in accordance with the Civil Service Law,

1993 (PNDC). Section 10 (3) of the Act further indicates that the development planning undertaken by a

Ministry and the Sector Agency shall be based on National Development goals issued by the NDPC and

in 10 (5), the Ministry or sector agency shall ensure that the plans are compatible with National

Development goals.

The elapse of GSGDA (2010-2013) and subsequent release of guidelines for the preparation of Medium-

Term Development Plans by Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) necessitated the

development of this plan.

The objective of this Medium Term Development Plan (SMTDP) is to enhance Ministry of Employment

and Labour Relations deliver on its mandate of ensuring coordination of all employment intervention

initiations and ensuring harmonious industrial relations among partners.

The Ministry and her Agencies conducted a thorough performance review of the implementation of the

Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda 2010-2013 (GSGDA 2010-2013), examined her vision,

mission, objectives and other relevant variables that impacted on the operations of the Ministry to serve as

the basis for preparation of the Medium Term Development Plan for a planning period of 4-years (2014 –

2017).

Methodology

Per the Planning guidelines from NDPC, a participatory approach was adopted by the Ministry in

preparing this plan. A committee, Headed by Ag. Chief Director, all the heads of Directorates of the

Ministry, Head of Accounts, Heads of all the Departments and Agencies under the Ministry, and officers

from the Policy Planning, Budgeting, Monitoring and Evaluation Directorate Division of the Ministry.

The Sector Minister and the Deputy were all involved in the preparation of this SMTDP. Technical

assistance was also sought from the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) for the

preparation of the plan. The planning process involved a number of meetings and workshops.

Key Issues

Key issues (challenges) that affected the implementation of the last plan (2010-2013) were as follows:

Obsolete tools and equipment of the training institutions under the Ministry

Low budgetary allocations and the untimely release of the little approved

Poor/inadequate office accommodation for the most of the Departments and Agencies under the

Ministry

Lack of logistics to enable the Departments and Agencies to implement the strategies outlined in

the policy

vii

Frequent labour agitations

Goal of the SMTDP (2014-2017)

Within this context of the medium-term policy objective of human development, productivity

and employment thematic area, the overarching goal of this SMTDP is to “rebrand the Ministry

and its Departments and Agencies to be well positioned to pursue policies and programmes in

Job Creation through provision of demand-driven skills, safe and health working environment

for all and harmonious industrial relations for sustainable development”.

Development Agenda relevant to SMTDP (2014-2017)

The Ministry and its Departments and Agencies’ programmes, projects and activities in the current plan

address issues under two (2) thematic areas of the GSGDA II, namely;

Human Development, Productivity and Employment

Transparent and Accountable Governance

Organization of Document for SMTDP (2014 -2017)

The plan is arranged into seven chapters;

Chapter one is about the vision, mission, functions and profile of the Ministry. It also analyses the

performance of the ministry in the implementation of the GSGDA (2010-201), Current sector

development situation and summary of key problems

Chapter two consists of key issues linked to the relevant thematic areas of National Medium-Term

Development Policy Framework (2014-2017),

Chapter three is on development goals, adoption of objectives and strategies of the GSGDA II 2014-

2017.

Chapter four outlines the broad sector development programmes for 2014-2017 and its matrix, which

indicates the broad programmes sub-programmes, strategies, activities, output indicators, timeframe

and indicative budget.

Chapter five contains the annual action plan and its implementation plan.

Chapter six outlines Monitoring and Evaluation plan, (detailed Monitoring and Evaluation Plan

would be prepared for the Service Medium – Term Development Plan 2014-2017 based on the

guidelines to be provided by NDPC.)

Chapter seven, the last, is on the communication strategy of the Service. This includes the

dissemination of the Plan, creation of awareness of the expected roles of the stakeholders in the

implementation of the programmes of the ministry.

viii

Implementation Cost The projected cost of implementing the current plan from 2014 – 2017 is estimated at three hundred and

ninety-one million, six hundred and ninety-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy-five cedis,

sixty pesewas (GH¢ 391,697,975.60) About 80% of this amount is expected to be funded by Government

TOTAL 134,970,865.00 115,066,250.88 (19,904,614.12)

To enable the Sector implement the 2010-2013 MTDP, the Ministry had a total budgetary

allocation of GH¢134,970,865.00 (which consists of Compensation, Goods and Service and

Asset). Out of this, GH¢115,066,250.88 representing 85.3% was released. However, out of the

released amount, between 80% - 90% went into compensation of employees leaving less that

15% for Goods and Services. The year-to-year budget release indicate that in 2012, the

budgetary release exceeded the approved budget and this was attributed to the payment of the

Single Spine Salary areases that were payed.

From the afore-mentioned analyses, the resources allocated to the Sector for the implementation

of the 2010 – 2013 MTDP fell far below what was required to execute the plan. Couple with it

was the late or untimely release of the little that approved.

Furthermore, apart from the 2012 in which the release exceeded the approved budget, in the

three remaining years, the allocations fell far below the approved budget. For example in 2010,

out of the GH¢32,812,186.00 approved budget, only GH¢18,479,330.22 representing 56.3% was

released. This development hindered the effective implementation of the plan
