1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background

In compliance with statutory requirements for monitoring and evaluation, mechanisms are put

in place to measure progress of planned programmes and projects undertaken by the district,

the Bosome Freho District Assembly on an annual basis prepare a District Annual Progress

Report.

The Annual Progress Report for January-December 2016 was prepared within the context of

programmes and projects, which are in line with the seven thematic areas of the Medium

Term Development Plan (MTDP) as follows:

� Ensuring and sustaining macroeconomic stability

� Enhanced competitiveness of Ghana’s Private Sector

� Accelerated agricultural modernization and natural resource management

� Oil and Gas

� Infrastructure and Human settlement Development

� Human development, employment and productivity

� Transparent and accountable governance.

In addition to programmes and projects initiated at the local level, the Assembly also monitor

and report on direct national and development partner interventions on-going at the local

level and report on their status of implementation. Beside these, the Assemblies report on

Disbursement from major funding sources, status of indicators and targets set and critical

development and poverty issues which give indication to the level of welfare of the people

and therefore serve as tools of evaluation for the various poverty reduction interventions put

in place by central government and development partners at the grassroots level.

1.2 District Profile

The Bosome Freho District Assembly was established by the legislative instrument

LI 1852 of 2007 with its capital at Asiwa. The District was carved out of the former

Amansie East District.

The District is located in the central part of the Ashanti Region and shares

boundaries with the Bekwai Municipal to the West, Bosomtwi and Ejisu-Juaben

Districts to the North, Adansi South and Akyimansa Districts to the South and

5

Asante-Akim South to the North-East. It is estimated to have a land area of about

630sq. km. Major settlements in the District are Asiwa, Esaase, Dompa, Anyanso,

Freso, Abosamso, Nsuaem, Tebeso I & II, Anyinase and Nsuta. The District lies

within Latitude 6°00’N and 6°26N and Longitudes 1°00W and 1˚30W.

It is drained by Pra, Fre, Sunso, Anum Rivers and the Lake Bosomtwe. The

vegetation is a moist-semi-deciduous forest predominantly covered by chronolaena

Odorata (commonly called Acheampong) shrub. It also has forest reserves along the

Lake Bosomtwe Ranges and along the borders with Adansi South. The District is

mainly under laid by three geological formations, the Birimian, Tarkwaian, and

granitic rocks.

The District experiences tropical rains with double maxima recording a monthly

average of 1600mm in June and 1800mm in October. Temperature ranges between

32°C in March and 20°C in August with Humidity moderately high during the rainy

season. It ranges between 70% and 80% in the dry season.

Based on the 2010 Population and Housing Census report, the District has a total

population of 60,397. The sex distribution of the population was composed of 29,753

males and 30,644 females. The population growth rate of the District is 2% per

annum and projected population for 2016 is about 66,684.

The District is mainly rural and farming is still the main occupation of the people.

The major cash crops produced are cocoa, citrus and oil palm. Food crops are

generally produced on subsistence basis including maize, yams, cassava and

plantain. Cabbage production is popular as a non- traditional cash crop. It is mostly

cultivated along the slopes of the Bosomtwe ranges.

6

Small scale gold mining is still gaining prominent due to the discovery of alluvial

gold along the Anum and Pra rivers and their major tributaries.

Manufacturing is still virtually non-existent, except for some few individuals who

engaged in gari processing and palm oil production. Part time cottage industrial

activities such as weaving, basketry and petty trading activities are still common

among women.

Lake Bosomtwe and the surrounding meteorite crater with its associated landforms

remain a major tourist attraction in the District. There are two waterfalls in the

District namely Subrisu and Yapesa waterfalls. Efforts are being made to exploit

their potentials to generate revenue for the Assembly and to create jobs.

The greater portion of the lands in the District falls under the Kokofu Traditional

Council, the only Paramountcy in the District, though the seat of the Paramountcy is

located outside the District. Other parts of the District also belong to the Dadease

Stool which is Obrempong. Similarly the seat of the Obrempong stool is located

outside the District.

The District has forty-one (42) Pre-Schools, fifty-one (51) Primary Schools, thirty-

Five (35) JHS, one (1) Senior High/Technical school and two (2) Vocational Schools.

The teacher/pupil ratio is; Primary 1:35, JHS 1:25, SHS 1:20.

There are two Health Centres, two Clinics and 27 CHPS zones in the District serving

the District, with Doctor Patient Ratio being 0: 66,684 and Nurse Patient Ratio1:682

currently.

The District has two police stations at Asiwa and Nsuaem II with seven (7) police

personnel.

The District has one (1) Magistrate Court which was established and inaugurated on

18th May, 2015 at Asiwa to cater for the area and the adjourning towns and villages.

7

1.3 District Governance

The District has 4 Area Councils made up of the following (Bosome, Bosomtwe East, Sunso

Freho and Nsuta). By the creation of more electoral areas, the District now has 21 electoral

areas. The Assembly has 21 elected members and 9 government appointees making the sum

total of 30. They with the District Chief Executive who is also an appointee of the President

and the Member of Parliament as an ex-officio member constitute the District Assembly and

perform legislative functions of the Assembly.

The District has four (4) Area Councils, namely; the Bosome, Nsuta, Sunso Freho and

Bosomtwe East. The councils has its executive members in place and the Assembly has

seconded staff from the community development to act as secretaries for the Area councils.

The Assembly has also ceded revenue items for the councils collection of which they are to

keep 50percent of total collections made. The council identify community needs and takes

steps to address them. The members assist the Assembly in project implementation and

monitoring. They also assist in the implementation of bylaws and act as liaison between the

Assembly and the local communities.

Traditionally, the District is mostly ruled by ‘Adikrofo’, most of the land belong to the

Kokofu Paramountcy and Dadease Traditional Council which is an oberempon stool.

1.4 District Assembly and its Objectives

The Assembly is the highest political and administrative body in 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 District has set itself certain objectives namely:

� To facilitate the effective functioning of the local government administration in the

District.

� To ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the use of resources of the District and the

decentralized departments.

� To monitor, co-ordinate and harmonize the implementation of development plans and

activities in district.

8

� 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.

1.5 Purpose of the 2016 Annual Progress Report (APR)

The purpose of the 2016 Annual progress Report is to assess and evaluate the performance of

the Assembly, review and provide information on the impacts and achievements of the

district based on the objectives set –out in the Medium Term Development Plan (2014-2017)

in relation to the programmes and projects targeted for the year 2016.

This report therefore indicates the level of progress of development programmes and projects

initiated both by the District and the Government. Also the core indicator levels were

examined to access their performance. The report also accessed the medium term

development plan 2014-2017 in its first year of operation. As part of the exercise, funding

sources of revenue for project implementation were also reviewed to indicate the volume that

was made available during the period and timeliness. Critical poverty interventions being

implemented in the District were also reviewed to see their progress.

1.6 The key M&E objectives for the year

The report is to assess and evaluate the performance of the District Assembly, review and

provide information on the impacts and achievements of the District based on the objectives

for the year 2015. This was achieved by assessing and collating achievement by various

departments within the District based on the objectives set by them and the implementation of

major projects and programmes that the Assembly planned to undertake. Among the primary

1.7 Processes Involved and Difficulties Encountered.

Beside the review of major programmes and projects of the District Assembly the

Decentralised Departments also reported on their performance against set targets. Among the

key departments which reported on their performance to the Assembly were Education,

Health and Agriculture, Department of Community Development, Department of Social

Welfare and the Business Advisory Centre.

Major challenges encountered during the process of compiling the report were as follows;

� Limited funding for the implementation of programmes and projects outlined in the District annual action plan. The District relied mostly on the District Assemblies

10

Common Fund and there was a huge deficit. The Internally Generated Fund (IGF) of the Assembly has been very low over the years of the Assembly’s operation.

� Excessive delay in the release of the District Assemblies Common Fund

� Inadequate logistical support for monitoring and evaluation of the Assembly activities

� Excessive delay in the release of the District Development Facility (DDF)

� Delay in the preparation and submission of reports by Departments of the District.

These are the Internally Generated Funds (IGF) and External Inflows

Sources of Internally Generated Funds for the Assembly are;

� Rates

� Lands Revenue

� Fees and Fines

� Licenses

� Rent

� Investment income

� Miscellaneous

2.3.1 The Sources of External Inflow included;

� District Assembly Common Fund

Fig 1: Graphical presentation of Key Revenue Sources

Source DPCU 2016

From the table above, it could be realized that, the Assembly could not achieve its target

under any of the revenue source. Yet the performance under District Development Facility

(DDF) was very encouraging. The funding proved to be the most reliable, receiving as much

as 93% of expected revenue. This was followed by the DACF which could manage barely

40%. The District received a negligible 2% of expected revenue from Government of Ghana

GoG source. This leaves much to be desired because government is expected to be the main

contributor to investment funding under the decentralisation programme. After transferring

responsibility the Assemblies it is expected that government should make resources available

to fund investment on public infrastructure. The centre holding on to statutory transfers defeat

the purpose of fiscal decentralisation which is a key element of making the districts

functional.

The Assembly’s situation is worsened by low internally generated fund mobilisation, the

District could manage only

2.3.2 Comments on the Releases of Funds

The District Assembly Common Fund remains the singular major source of funds for

investment to the District Assembly. The problem with this fund is the high statutory

deductions made at source which at times are not planned at the District level. Also there has

been shortfall in the District’s allocation in the fund in recent years which makes it

impossible for the District to implement all its planed programmes and projects for the year.

With the challenges aside, released for the year was encouraging, the Assembly received 3

quarters of the year in addition to the 4th quarter arrears for 2015. The introduction of the

District Development Facility (DDF) has supplement the common fund to finance investment

activities in the District though the releases per year is not comparable in value to that of the

common Fund. Yet it has been very reliable. The District’s Internally Generated Fund (IGF)

sources were also limited which made it difficult to finance the Assembly’s recurrent

expenditure solely from IGF sources.

The Assembly’s total expenditure for the quarter amounted to under a fifth of the budgeted

expenditure for the year. This is mainly explained by restricted inflows to the Assembly from

our major revenue sources. The low expenditure by the Assembly may translate in to non-

performance of key functions and excessive delay on project implementation as payments

may be long over-due and contractors may abandon site. This has resulted in increasing

project cost due to delays in payment for work done which has given rise to frequent demand

for upward review of contract sum.

Fig. 3: Departmental Share of Total Expenditure

By the figure above its apparent the Central administration is the main expenditure unit under

the Assembly yet it is worthy of notice that most departments especially health, agriculture

and Education has other key funding sources for operations and management which is never

declared to the Assembly for it to be subjected to monitoring by the Assembly. Hence the

above situation is quiet elusive yet its significance is that it gives an indication of the sectors

where the little that passes through the Assembly is spent.

2.3.3 Efforts to Generate More Revenue

The Assembly was not able to generate enough revenue to meet its recurrent expenditure let

alone get additional funds for capital projects. Strategies adopted to improve collection of

IGF would include the following:

� Widen the revenue base to bring in more revenue items which were not covered

previously

� Engage more commission revenue collectors to work in communities where there

are no collectors

� Continued and sustained tax education

� Motivating hard-working collectors and supervisors

2.3.4 Challenges with Regard to Disbursement.

� Inadequate funding for programmes and projects

� Delays in the release of funds which affect project implementation.

� Difficulty in extraction of information for report writing � Difficulty in tracking funds from GOG paid direct to beneficiaries without ,

3.1 UPDATES ON CORE INDICATORS AND TARGETS

3.1.1 Agriculture

Agriculture is the single most important sector of the District Economy. It’s the major

employer and as such the main activity that provides the people with income. The bane to

development of the sector is that it still characterised by traditional practices in face of

modernity which has greatly limit productivity across the value chain.

During the year under review, the season remained wet and dry. There was moderate rainfall

during the first half of the year coupled with intermittent sunny conditions. The weather

pattern was a little better as compare to year 2015. Performance of crops was general

satisfactory.

Related activities

The department has taken steps to assist the farmers on

post-harvest technology to help them to store maize;

Modern cribs to store maize, rice and cowpea. Save use of

agrochemicals training has also been conducted to help

farmers to know how to use the land and water

management interventions, for sustainable soil fertility

level for crop production and water conservation. The use

improved varieties fertilizer application has also been

done during this quarter.

x. Cocoa Diseases and Pest Control (CODAPEC) programme

CAPSID Control

There has been a major shift in the implementation of the CODAPEC programme since 2015.

Unfortunately the District now does not have a central store or input distribution point.

Communities in the Bosome and Bosomtwe East Area councils access inputs from Bekwai

cocoa district, whilst those from Sunso Freho are zoned for Adansi-Brofoyedru cocoa district

in the Adansi North District. Communities in the Nsuta Area Council are now part of the

New Edubiase (Adansi South) Cocoa District.

This situation has resurfaced the myriad of problems the programme faced when the District

was first created when the project was managed in a similar arrangement. The programme is

thus fraught with a lot of challenges among which are non-supply of inputs to many farmers

who continuously complain to the Assembly which has virtually no clout to resolve them.

It was therefore difficult to get statistics of the programme as part of this report because the

District Agric Development Unit could not provide a report on the project.

xii. Challenges of the District Agric Sector

i. Lack of irrigation facility

ii. High cost of labour

iii. Poor road network

iv. Activities of illegal mining

v. Lack of staff accommodation

vi. Inadequate office accommodation

vii. High cost of agricultural inputs

viii. Unreliable rainfall pattern

Fig 4: The trend of BECE performance 2011-2016

Generally the pass rate has been unpredictable being a little high initially dipping in 2012

rising in 2013 and falling in 2014 again. Over the past five years the results in 2015 was the

best. Rising as high as 87%. Mechanism should therefore be put in place to ensure

consistency in the pupils’ performance.

From the table above it has been shown that number of girls completing JHS 3 has been

increasing steadily. However girls registering for BECE exams and passing showed a

downward trend. From all indications the statistics is getter better in the sense that total

number of JHS leavers has been consistently increasing since 2011 with a dip in only 2014

which incidentally recorded the lowest pass rate. Female candidates sitting for exams and

passing has also been on the increase over the period.

3.1.5 HIV/AIDS

The District monitoring of HIV/ AIDS cases is hampered by lack of a hospital. Also the

District do not have a sentinel site hence it difficult to calculate the prevalence rate. The only

indicator used is the numbers of people who tested positive during the District know your

status campaign. In 2009 during the District-wide know your status campaign, forty-five (45)

adults between the ages of 15-49 years of age whilst in 2010, one hundred and fifteen (115)

42

persons in the same age bracket tested positive. However in 2011, only twenty-four (24) out

of three thousand, two hundred and forty-nine tested positive. In 2012 through ‘know your

status campaign’ and prevention of mother to child transmission programme 68 cases were

diagnosed.

Challengers of the Registry

i. The CBS volunteers find it difficult to refer people to the district capital to register

44

their births.

ii. Most of the inhabitants of the District register their birth and death in other districts

such as Bekwai Municipal, Asante Akim South, Bosomtwe and Adansi South

Districts due to limited accessibility and their proximity to these places.

The Way Forward

i. The registry intends to liaise with midwives and CBS volunteers in the District to help

offer door to door services to the new born in other to improve the number of new

born registered

ii. The registry will also embark on intensive and extensive education campaign through

the District Information Services Department on the importance of registering births

and deaths especially in the districts where they occur.

3.2 Updates on Critical Development and Poverty Interventions

3.2.1 The Livelihood Empowerment against Poverty (LEAP) Programme

The LEAP programme Implementation commenced in the District during the latter

part of 2014. In all, Eight (8) communities are currently benefiting. These are Nsuta,

Nyamebekyere, Manfi, Alhajikrom, Ntowkrom, Keteke, Otoo Akura and Domkope.

Beneficiaries of the LEAP Programme are remitted electronically via their e-zwich

card. However, the District Assembly through the Social Welfare and Community

Development Department monitors and supervises each payment cycle which is

done bi-monthly.

Twenty-Three (23) Households with Sixty-Nine (69) individuals qualified in the

whole Nsuta- Area Council.

A motor bike has been provided by the Ministry of Gender and Social Protection to

enhance the implementation the LEAP Programme and activities in the District.

A major disturbing feature about the programme is that it is concentrated in

geographical area. Although poverty concentration is highest in this area, there are

other zones too where poverty is endemic but area left out of the programme. It is

therefore recommended that consideration should be given to people that are hard

core poor but not located in the officially designated poverty endemic areas.

After a sharp rise in the pupils population in 2015 over 2014 academic year, there

was a marginal rise of 2.03 percent in 2015 after which there has been an appreciable

fall of 2.43 percent in 2006. In spite of the marginal rise in 2015 about 48percent of

schools dropped in their enrolment figures which is about half of the schools

benefiting from the programme and the same percentage of schools dropped in

enrolment. The only difference between 2015 and 2016 is that the fall in enrolment

in the 48 percent school were compensated for by more than proportionate rise in

enrolment in the remaining 52percent schools. And also the rate of fall in enrolment

in the 48 percent of the beneficiary schools were higher as compared to those in 2015.

i. Excessive delay in the release of grants to caterers.

Beside the feeding grant being low, the release is always overly delayed which further

burden the caterers by payment of high interest on loans secured to run the

programme.

ii. Payment of Taxes on grant

The five percent tax deducted on the 80p grant further worsen the woes of caterers

operating under the programme

Youth Employment Agency (YEA) Programme

At the creation of the District in 2008 the District’s programme was under the office

of the Bekwai Municipal. The District office was set up in 2009 and the Agency run

three programmes, Health Extension Workers (HEW), Community Police Assistants

(CPA), and Community Education Teaching Assistants (CETA). One Hundred and

Forty Three (143) were engaged across the programmes by 2013.

In the year 2014 and 2015, the Agency did not run any activities even though the

Agency was in existence.

In the 2016 year, the Agency resumed massive business by rolling out many

modules. Among these were, Community Police Assistants (CPA), Youth in Fire

Service (YIFS), Community Health Workers (CHW), E-Health, Community

51

Education Teaching Assistants (CETA), Youth in Arabic Teaching, Environmental

Protection Officers and Youth in Coastal Sanitation.

The Youth Employment Agency in the 2016 year recruited a total of two hundred

3.2.2 Incentives for Business Development

i. Employment Generation and Business Development

The level of commercial activities in the District is very low. The major occupation in the

District is farming, which engages about 80% of the population. The farming system is

mainly subsistence with the exception of some cocoa farmers whose activity is for

commercial purpose. Vegetable farming is gaining popularity with emphasis on cabbage

production. This account for mass exodus of the youth who are not interested in farming to

urban centres such as Bekwai, Obuasi, Konongo, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Takoradi and Accra

after they complete basic education. The recent emergence of alluvial gold mining saw laour

movement to small scale artisanal mining but farming remains the main stay of the people.

Department of Trade and Industry

The Rural Enterprises Programme

In an attempt to diversify the economy, the District in 2010 established District Business

Advisory Centre to promote skill training and small and medium scale businesses

development. The Rural Enterprises Project which was the financier of the activities of the

Business Advisory Centre ended in December 2011, fortunately the programme was re-

launched in 2012 and implementation continued through to 2016. In the year under review

the centre continued to monitor the groups trained and formed new groups. The emphasis of

the second phase of the programme is on mushroom production, improving palm oil

production and cassava processing.

v. Water and Sanitation

Water and sanitation coverage in the district is not the best. Over the years the people’s

access to potable water and approved sanitation facilities is worsening. This might be due to

lack of interventions in this sector. Prior to the creation of the district communities had

benefited from development partners and government of Ghana interventions such as the

CWSP 1 & II, RWSP 1V & and its addendum but since 2011 there had not been any

intervention in the water and sanitation sector the drilling of 10No. Boreholes.

Another contributing factor to the problem has been poor maintenance of existing water and

sanitation facilities on the part of communities who own the water points and toilet facilities.

This has led to the breakdown of many boreholes, this coupled with increase in population

from natural factors and the influx of small scale miners in most communities in the district

has contributed to reducing access and coverage of potable water.

3.2.6 Poverty Status of the District

Poverty in the district manifests in its agrarian economy. Agricultural production is mainly on

subsistence level and food crop production is key. Farm sizes has also diminished greatly

which implies that output from household food crop producers cannot feed themselves and

leave an adequate surplus for marketing.

Another dimension of poverty that is exhibited in the District is inadequate social and

economic infrastructure such as schools, health facilities, banking, and telephone facilities.

The key District specific poverty indicators are poor food and nutritional status, poor

infrastructural facilities and low school enrolment rates in these areas, low employment and

income levels, water and sanitation problems which affects the quality of life of the people.

This manifestation is prevalent in the remote communities which are characterized by low

55

incomes, limited accessibility by road and generally poor living condition in areas such as

Ohwimase, Anwiaso, Nsuta, Simedadieso, Fereso, Yapesa and Tebeso.

The Nsuta Area Council, which is farthest from the District Capital and has the poorest road

network, happens to be the most poverty stricken area of the District. Similarly, the District

part of the lake Bosomtwe basin which happens to be the next most poverty endemic zone at

the same time have major poverty problems.

4.1 The Way Forward

Giving the persistent weak financial position of the Assembly the District’s top priority

remains improving internal revenue mobilisation by embarking on an intensive revenue

mobilisation campaign. The Assembly shall strengthen its task force to educate the people

and enforce the payment of levies to support the Assembly. Effort shall also be made to

collect property rates and building permits where very small amount was collected during the

previous years.

The Assembly will continue to collaborate with other institutions, support departments like

the District Education Office, District Agric Development Unit, District Health Management

Unit, District Department of Social Welfare and Community Development among others.

The Assembly shall also concentrate on completion of the construction of Junior Staff

Quarters to improve housing situation for staff.

Attention will also be given to the operationalization of the four Area Councils, Revenue

items shall be ceded for the councils and community development officers placed within the

area councils. There is the need then to give them further training, encouragement and

motivation for them to do their work and generate revenue to support their operation. The

statutory allocation from the District Assemblies Common Fund will also be used to provide

logistical support and capacity building for the newly elected members.

To realise her major aspirations, the District envisage the need to receive the backing of

governmental institutions like the Ministry of Local Government Rural Development and

Environment, Energy, Works and Housing, Community Water and Sanitation Agency, Head

of Local Government Service, Finance and Economic Planning among others. As institutions

of governance these shall provide the broader policy framework within which the Assembly’s

initiatives shall conform to receive support from the broader national development agenda.

With this mind set the Assembly’s priorities shall be in conformity with national priorities in

order for her programmes and project to conform to national objectives.

4.2 Conclusion

56

With the coming into being of a new administration, It is highly advocated that for the

Assembly to fulfil its core mandate of bringing development to the people, there is the need

to pursue policies that will trigger sustainable economic activities which will empower the

local people and improve upon their livelihoods. This is in line with the incoming

administration’s commitment to promote local economic activities in other to create jobs

through the establishment of one factory for each and District and supporting each

constituency with One Million US Dollars (US$1,000,000.00). Skill upgrading for tradesmen

such as carpenters, mechanics, weavers, food processors and small scale manufacturers of

industrial products such as soap, powder etc should still be given the relevant attention.

Also, the Assembly should not relent on her efforts to improve upon second cycle education

and continue with the previous administration’s quest to establish additional second cycle

institution to improve BECE leavers access to second cycle education. With the incoming

current government’s policy to make secondary school education free from paying fees this

should be given much attention to help absorb the teaming prospective candidates that may

be seeking admission to second cycle education. The administration must continue to

provide social infrastructure such as markets, water and sanitation facilities, electricity and

improve the road system because this forms the basis for industrial development.

The Assembly should last but not the least support agricultural production especially in the

food crop production sector. Major rivers in the District such as the Anum, Pra and the Fre

has wide flood plains that are suitable for rice cultivation, cabbage production along the

slopes and valleys of the Bosomtwe ranges had also proved very profitable. Citrus and oil

palm production are also major potentials of the district beside cocoa. The Assembly should

therefore liaise with the District Agric Development Unit to come up with interventions to

support production of these crops which has ready market and has proved profitable.
