CHAPTER ONE
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1Introduction
The main objective of the DMTDP is to address the short-falls identified in the summary of key
development problems in the seven thematic areas of the Plan. The main objectives formulated to
respond to the problems identified were captured in the original thematic areas as follows:
1. Ensuring and Sustaining Macro-Economic Stability
2. Enhancing Competitiveness in Ghana’s Private Sector
3. Accelerated Agricultural Modernization and Sustainable Natural Resource Management.
4. Oil and Gas Development
5. Infrastructure, Energy and Human Settlement
6. Human Development, Productivity and Employment
7. Transparent and Accountable Governance
1.2 The Key M&E Objectives for the Year

The objectives of Monitoring and Evaluation system is largely among others to
 Developed and manage the DMTDP as prepared and ensure a proper flow of information to
and from Unit committees, sub-structures, Municipal Planning Co-ordinating Unit, NGOs and
Community Based Organizations, User Departments etc as a feed-back mechanism.
 Provide potential decision-makers with management information required for effective
projects and programme implementation.
 Developing simple reporting formats to be used.
 Train MPCU members, Sub-structures and Communities in data collection and analysis at the
various levels.
 Train project staff in the use of the software to be developed
 Identify short-falls in performance in reference to targets and roll-over activities into the
DMTDP.
1.3 Processes Involved and Difficulties Encountered
(i) Processes Involved

The Municipal Planning Coordinating Unit (MPCU) as the main focus for the monitoring and
evaluation of activities as it functions amongst others.
5
 Use the Monitoring and Evaluation plan prepared as a tool for its measure and assessment of
performance of the various targets set.
 Quarterly performance review meetings and stakeholders meetings and reports from
Monitoring Team of the Municipal Assembly.
 Discussion of Quarterly and Annual progress reports prepared by the MPCU
 Mid-term and Terminal Evaluation of the Medium Term Plan was also used as a measure.
 As earlier on agreed, stakeholders forum at community level, Sub-District level and
Municipal level were identified to be used in the monitoring and evaluation of performance.
(ii) Difficulties Encountered

Apart from non-commitments of some MPCU members to the exercise, the other major and critical
issues were identified as:
i) Timely release of funds for timely meeting became a challenge even though it was spelt out that
2% of the annual budget was to be set aside for the M&E activities.
ii) Among the difficulties encountered in the compilation of this report were the late submission of
departmental progress reports and inconsistencies in the reporting format over the years.
ii) Experienced personnel for the exercise

Some of the personnel lacked the needed experience for the exercise as their responsiveness to the
M&E activities seemed to be down played.
1.4 Status of Implementation of DMTDP

The Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA I), 2010 – 2013 placed emphasis on
human development, transparent and accountable governance and infrastructural development, in
support of agricultural modernization, natural resource development, particularly oil and gas, private
sector development, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), housing and energy for
accelerated employment creation and income generation for poverty reduction.
The Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA II), 2014 – 2017 re-emphasized the
themes of GSGDA I but focused on structural transformation. The framework also envisages
protecting the environment and minimizing the impacts of climate change.
The District Medium Term Development Plan 2014-2017 which is in the second year of its
implementation under the seven thematic areas of Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda
(GSGDA II) have seen the light of implementation while other new programmes are being infused
from time to time as and when referred from policy front.

The 2014 BECE was successfully conducted in June 2014 at the 11 examination centres in the
Municipality.There were 99 Invigilators, 11 Supervisors and 7 Assistant Supervisors. The
Municipality recorded 43% pass in the 2014 which is slightly higher than the 41% in 2013.
 Total number of candidates presented = 2,802
 Total number of candidates absent = 10
 Total number of males absent = 4 (one travelled abroad)
 Total number of females absent = 6 (one travelled abroad, some of the female absentees had just
delivered and therefore could not sit for the exam).
 Number of Boys that scored aggregate 1-30 = 648
 Number of Girls that scored aggregate 1-30 = 519
 Percentage Pass by Boys= 43.13
 Percentage Pass by Girls= 40.03
 Total Percentage Pass = 43
Monitoring Visits to Schools

 The donation of 10 motor bikes by the Municipal Assembly to each of our 10 Circuit
Supervisors last year came as a major relief. This has improved and facilitated the movement of
Circuit Supervisors on their supervision and monitoring visits to schools.
 All the 99 public schools as well as private schools in the Municipality were visited by the
Circuit Supervisors.
 Circuit Supervisors met the SMCs once in a term.
 From their visits, Circuit Supervisors reported that some SMCs and PTAs wanted to control the
school’s proceeds from the sale of fuel wool from woodlots planted by the schools.
 They also reported on town folks sharing and sometimes misusing the schools’ toilet facilities,
which posed a serious challenge to the schools.
 The use of Capitation Grant allocation to refresh SMC/ PTA members at meetings to ensure
their regular attendance was also reported on.
 The various SMCs and PTAs have been advised through the Circuit Supervisors to co-corporate
with the school Head towards the efficient management of the schools.
 There are also plans to organised capacity building workshops for the SMCs and PTAs.
 Lateness and absenteeism were challenges that Circuit Supervisors equally reported on. Where
teachers were found culpable, they were punished, especially, when they vacated post without
due notification and permission, their salaries were blocked and the number of days of absence
were deducted from their salaries and paid back to chest.
 The directorate is focused on following the Service’s prescribed disciplinary procedures with
the view to instilling discipline in teachers and pupils.
 Circuit Supervisors also reported on the challenge of teachers travelling over long distances
before reaching their schools. This problem was identified in the following circuits: Atiavi-
Hatorgodo, Tegbi-Woe, Dzita-Anyanui and Shime.
 Municipal Education Oversight Committee: the committee held 6 meetings twice each term
last year. Its proposed school monitoring activity could not be undertaken. A budget thereon
was submitted to the Assembly but could not be honoured due to the lack of funds.
 Capitation Grant: the irregular release of the grant is hampering school performance
improvement as well as the organization of school performance improvement meetings.
However, Circuit Supervisors have been directed to commence their SPAMs in mid February
2015.

School Health Education Programme (SHEP) Unit
 The SHEP has unit of the directorate has always worked in collaborated with its partners
notably, the Ghana Health Service and UNICEF. UNICEF donated 90 sets of Veronica buckets
to 15 schools under the UNICEF WASH in Schools (WinS) project.
 The SHEP Co-ordinator after his monitoring of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH )
activities is schools reported that some of the Veronica buckets needed to be repaired. He also
reported that some of the schools failed to organise their Health Club and Committees in the
schools.
 UNICEF also donated 45 footballs and 20 jerseys to 20 schools which took part in the Malaria
Control competition through drama.
 It is also worth noting that the number of WASH schools have been increased from 15 to 20.
 The SHEP unit also benefited from a Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) workshop
organised by the MLGRD in Accra.
 School Feeding Programme: the programme is on-going in the 27 selected schools in the
Municipality. However, the directorate has submitted the names of 24 additional schools to the
Regional SHEP unit for consideration. This if favourably considered would bring the total
number of beneficiary schools in Municipality to fifty-one (51).
Capacity Building
The following programmes were organized during the year under review.
 The directorate organized a two-day orientation workshop for KG teachers and Head teachers.

Untrained Teachers Diploma in Basic Education (UTDBE) Programme

Currently, the Municipality has 57 UTDBE students-teachers who are pursuing their course at Peki
College of Education.
Challenges
 Lack of Computers, printers, scanners for planning and statistics unit.
 A very poor furniture situation at the Directorate.
 Non provision of internet connectivity for the office.
 Lack of funds for school monitoring and supervision.
 Inadequate number of trained KG teachers.
 Inadequate KG infrastructure.
 Transfer of teachers by Unit Heads without the knowledge of the Directorate.
 Lack of accommodation for teachers compelling teachers to live outside the school communities
causing lateness.
 Lack of renovation works at Municipal Director’s residence.
30
Way Forward
 The Municipality has organized training workshops for all KG teachers in the Municipality as
well as Head teachers. This, it is hoped, would enhance the performance of the KG teachers and
have a positive effect on the learners.
 Schedule Officers paying random school visit to schools within their residential areas before
coming to work is an effective supervision cost- saving measure.
 As a way of partially circumventing the challenge of lack of funds for supervision and monitoring
of teaching and learning in the Basic Schools, each Office staff has adopted the school nearest to
the staff’s residence (i.e. within walking distance), with the view to helping the school improve
upon performance as well the general growth and development of the school.
 Identifying teachers’ subject matter shortfalls and providing In-Service training in those subjects
would be pursued to reverse the falling trend in performance.
 The Directorate is also using proposal and appeal to well-meaning citizens as a means of raising
funds towards capacity building for teachers.
 As a way of boosting the morale of education workers, the Directorate has also sent out letters of
appeal for fund raising towards the celebration and institutionalization of an education awards
celebration slated for March 2015; whiles making plans towards clearing the backlog of Best
Teacher/ Worker Awards Celebrations- the last of which was that of 2009 celebrated on the 6th of
April 2011.

2.2.2 Health
The Mission of the Keta Municipal Health Directorate is to implement approved national policies,
increase to improved health services and manage prudently resources available for provision of health
services.
The promotion of good health to increase access to quality health care and sustained environmental
sanitation was the main objective under the health sector focus area. Progress made towards the
achievement of the health sector target was quite remarkable though with limited resources.
The Municipality is endowed with a number of health facilities which provide various levels of
services. Ownership is both public and private. For purposes of health delivery, the Municipality is
sub-divided into six (6) sub-municipalities namely Keta, Tegbi, Anloga, Anyanui, Anyako and
Shime.

hospital and three doctors in the Catholic Mission hospital.
While preventive services are free, access to health services have been greatly enhanced by the
Municipal Wide Mutual Health insurance Scheme.
Malaria Control
Malaria continues to be the leading cause of OPD attendance in the Municipality. There are various
intervention put in place to control the situation such as Case detection and management (testing,
treating and tracking of cases), Monitoring and supervision, Health education at OPDs, CWC,
Churches, Mosque, Radio discussion, Data validation, Home Based Care, Continues distribution
of LLINs to children receiving 2nd dose of Measles and ANC registrants and LLINs point
distribution campaign.

Home Based Care
The municipality has a total of 125 Community Based Agents (CBAs) trained to assess and treat
children with minor illnesses at the home level. Of this number, only 95 are active and currently
working within the municipality. The number of children checked by CBAs increased from 1,263 in
2013 to 1,663 in 2014. However, it is worth noting that, the number of children with danger signs
reduced from 324 to 74. Illnesses diagnosed during the CBAs assessment also showed an upward
trend. They were treated appropriately per the treatment guideline. There was an increase in
educational activities carried out by them (CBAs).
Expanded Programme On Immunization [EPI]

Routine immunization performance was conducted throughout the year 2014. The target for the year
2014 on all antigens was 90%. The numberof children below one year of age were 6518 (a monthly
target of 543 children).
A total of 6,183 children were vaccinated with BCG representing 94.9% compared to 86% in
2013.Penta3 and OPV3 coverage reduced from 90.2% in 2013 to 89.3% and 89.1% in 2014
respectively.
Yellow fever and Measles/Rubella coverage decreased by 3.1% and 1.8% respectively. However
there was a gap between Measles and Yellow fever performance, 85 children were not vaccinated
against Yellow fever in terms of absolute numbers during the period under review.
The Municipal dropout rate for BCG and Measles-Rubella was 12.5%. This was beyond the national
acceptable rate of 10%. Penta1 and Penta3 recorded a negative dropout rate (-5.1%).

FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES

The coverage for family planning acceptors during the year was 7,557 representing 19.3% of
expected WIFA. This showed a decrease over last year of 16,656. The sharp decrease in acceptors
can be attributed to data capturing errors in the previous years where women were counted as many
times as they made contacts with service providers in the year leading to multiple counts. Another
contributory factor was the exclusion of condom acceptors into general acceptors.
However, all CHNs were oriented on MAF and how to promote family planning especially long term
methods and condoms since the uptake of these methods were very low. Over 40 CHNs have been
trained on implanon insertion and this has greatly increased its uptake and male condoms are been
promoted in all communities focusing especially on people. Condom distribution has seen a
tremendous increase from a total of 13, 628 in 2013 to 39,915.

Challenges
 Inadequate critical staffs to manage the ever increasing number of clients and also the 24hr
service delivery.
 Acute shortage of staff accommodation
 High congestion at the maternity ward.
 Low EPI coverage in some facilities
 Inconsistent and inaccurate data from sub-municipality.
 Delay in submission of monthly returns.
 High maternal mortality.
 Delay in reimbursed of NHIS claims.
37
The Way Forward
Challenges such as resource constraints, poor recording and reporting system at some health facilities,
late reimbursement of NHIS claims, inadequate midwives and high maternal deaths at Abor sacred
heart hospital affected implementation of planned activities and financing of outreach services in the
year 2014. In spite of this, the Directorate has maintained service delivery.
The Directorate therefore intends to focus on the following;
 Activation of demarcated CHPS zones by deploying CHOs
 Improving data quality at the sub-municipal level
 Improving on home visits by CHNs
 Improving on on-site supervision
 Improving on nutrition and growth promotion activities
 Timely reimbursement of NHIS claims by the NHIS
 Improving on immunization coverage
 Improving on Maternal and Neonatal health to achieve better EMONC status
Sensitization workshop on Street Naming and Property Addressing System for Stakeholders
The Objectives of the workshop was to educate the public on the importance of street naming and
property addressing system. A total of 100 stakeholders were invited, which included chiefs and
opinion leaders. Participatory approach was used throughout the section.
Tourism Development
 Development of tourism information centers at Anloga, Anyako and Keta has not been dealt with
within the year. The proposal is worth considering.
 Atorkor Slave Park: As a developed concept, a Vocational Center or school had been constructed
by NGO efforts and the expansion programme is on-going..
 The coastal Beach sanitation programme under Zoil of National Youth Employment Programme is
being affected with the suspension at the close of the year..
 Allocation of sites for Hotels and other hospitality activities within the Sea Defence Area has been
in the negotiation stage with two companies submitting proposals yet to be fully approved by the
Assembly

2.2.3 Environmental Health & Sanitation Department
Implementation of Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS)
In the year under review, a total of 81 communities have carried out self-assessment and declared
them Open Defecation Free (ODF Basic). They are calling for external verification.
CLTS Latrines and Hand Washing Facilities

A total of 275 house hold latrines have been completed and, in use while 99 are under construction.
87 hand washing facilities have also been constructed.
Training and Seminars

The MEHO and some other staff have benefited of Training workshops and seminars. These are some
of the training;
 ToT workshop on Control and Prevention of Ebola and Cholera organized by GES in
collaboration with USAID at Saltpond.
 Dissemination Workshop on HWTS Strategy, Private Sector Participation and Scale up Plan, by
Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, at Ho
 Documentation Training Workshop on sanitation for M/DEHOS and M&E focal persons by
Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, in Accra
 Three – Day Training workshop on District Scale up Plans as part of Environmental Sanitation
Strategy and Action Plans (DESSAPs)
Medical Screening
To ensure that food vendors/handlers know their health status, and are healthy and free from any
communicable disease before they offer food for sale to the public, the department in conjunction
with a private laboratory services provider conducted medical screening for 2,900 food
vendors/handlers and drink sellers.
In the period under review, a total of 3,117 food vendors/handlers and drink sellers/handlers were
medically screened, though this fell short of the targeted 4,000. Out of the 3,117 food and drinks
vendors medically screened, 416 (13.35%) were tested positive for typhoid (Salmonella infection).
Those infected with the typhoid were referred to the Municipal Hospital for treatment before their
certificates were given to them to commence their trading activities.
Routine Premises Inspection

In the period under review, a total of 2,494 residential premises were inspected, and common
nuisances detected were indiscriminate dumping and accumulation of refuse, accumulation of anal
cleansing materials, insanitary accumulation and disposal of wastewater and growth of weeds on
residential premises.
912 eating and drinking premises were as well inspected and dirty cooking/selling environment, use
of cracked/broken glasses, selling without undergoing medical examination and use of dirty water for
washing plates were also the common nuisances found at eating and drinking premises.
With regards to industrial premises inspection, 4 hotel premises were inspected, 5 sachet water
producing premises were as well inspected and 1 biscuit factory was also inspected. Common
39
nuisances detected were growth of weeds, operation without undergoing medical screening, and
insects/pest infestations.
School Health
Inspections, coupled with health and hygiene were carried out the following schools in the
municipality: Afiadenyigba R.C. Basic, Tengekope L.A. Basic,Agbledomi L.A. Phileo Basic,
Fuveme R.C. D.A. Basic, Bomigo E.P Primary, Atiteti E.P. Basic and Anyanui E.P. Basic schools.
The education included discussions and demonstrations on water treatment, storage and usage;
environmental, personal and food hygiene practices. Various school heads and SHEP coordinators
were tasked to ensure that basic standards are met as far environmental and food hygiene was
concerned.
Waste Management
Refuse Disposal
Zoomlion Ghana Limited is doing well in collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste in the
municipality. The main problem associated with solid waste management is the absence of final
disposal site, which the assembly does not have. Frequent, timely and regular removal of the refuse
containers is the major problem confronting the system due to regular breakdown of the refuse truck.
Public Refuse Containers

4 new public refuse containers were bought and some of the old broken ones were also mended and
put into use.
Maintenance Cesspool Emptier

Routine maintenance of the Cesspool Emptier was carried out as planned for effective work, new tyre
were also bought
Vector (mosquito) control measures

The Pest Control Unit of Zoomlion Ghana Limited carried out fumigation and spraying exercise
within the Municipality on monthly bases in the various communities in the year under review. The
activities covered a total of ninety- six (96) sanitation facilities, that is public/Institutional toilets,
refuse dumps, public drains, and water bodies that were sources of mosquito breeding in those
communities using Pynosect 10 and vectobar 2s.
Local radio stations (Jubilee Radio and Radio Hogbe) were used as good media to give
health/hygiene education and to share relevant information on general environmental sanitation with
the public.
Majority of residents use the refuse to reclaim wet areas around their houses in a crude manner.
Thorough hygiene education is ongoing to educate these people to stop the practice or burn the refuse
regularly to avoid refuse accumulation and its associated problems.
Market Sanitation
Inspections were carried out in Keta, Anloga, Anyanui, Abor and Atiavi markets respectively in the
period under review. Market women were educated on food hygiene and safety, and they were
advised not to display their food items on the floor and to protect them from flies and dust. They were
40
also educated on good personal hygiene practices with special emphases on hand washing with soap
before selling to the public.
Slaughterhouse and Meat Inspection

Though the new slaughterhouse in the Keta market has several constructional defects, some of the
butchers try to manage their slaughtering activities in the slaughter house. Most of the butchers,
however, prefer to use the old slaughterhouse to the new one because they consider it better than the
new slaughterhouse. Meat inspection and inspection of food animals was always carried out at the old
and new slaughter slabs as well as the meat shops in the market.
A total of forty (40) carcasses were inspected, and were declared healthy and wholesome by the
Environmental Health and Sanitation Unit on behalf of the Municipal Assembly under the period
under review. These were the animals slaughtered and inspected from January to June, 2014, and the
revenue generated.

Other Health Matters (Cholera Outbreak)

There were three (3) confirmed cases of cholera in Kedzikope, where no lives were lost, and five (5)
suspected cases in Whuti and Havedzi, where 4 lives were lost (3 at Whuti and 1 at Havedzi) in the
Keta Municipality. The quick intervention by Environmental Health and Sanitation Department and
Ghana Health Service helped to contain the disease. The infected persons were sent to the Keta
Municipal Hospital and Sapey Agbo Hospital for prompt medical attention, and their homes were
disinfected using combination of chlorine related chemicals and Izaal.
National Sanitation Day

Two (2) successful National Sanitation days was observed in the Keta Municipality. Many of the
communities took part in the four (4) hour clean up exercise clearing weeds, raking refuse dumps and
desilting gutters. The Environmental Health and Sanitation Unit supervised cleanup activities. This
has helped to lift the environmental cleanliness in these participating communities.
Law Enforcement
A total number of sanitary offenders were prosecuted in the year under review. Some of the offences
include open defecation especially along the beach, growth of weeds. A total number of 991
Abatement Notices were served and 989 were complied with.

Persons With Disabilities (PWDS)

In order to decentralize issues on disability, local branches have been formed in the various zonal
councils. It is expected that registration of PWD would be done through their local executives for
collation at the municipal level. However, areas which received attention for funding were education,
advocacy, monitoring and evaluation.
During the year under review, school fees have been paid to a number of students in the Tertiary,
Second cycle and Vocational Schools. The breakdown is as follows:
1. Jasikan College of Education - 1

2. Zion College, Anloga - 3
3. Keta Business School - 1
4. School for the Blind - 2

Afiadenyigba and its surrounding villages. Also about 60 pupils and students in Special schools were
supported with provisions such as soap, toilet rolls, dettol, rice, oil, etc. Most of these beneficiaries in
schools for the Blind, Deaf, Mentally Retarded, second cycle, vocational and the University were
needy people who went to the school through the initiative of the Special Education Officer at GES
and the Social Welfare Department.

a) Social Education
About eight (9) social education programmes were held on Jubilee Radio and Communities in
collaboration with some Non-Governmental Organizations on topical issues affecting women and
children. Some of the topics treated were Child labour and trafficking, Domestic Violence, and
Spousal battery, Single Parenting, Marriage, Women’s Participation in Governance, Paternity issues,
Maintenance of children, Courtship, etc.
46
b) Hospital Welfare
A case was reported of a woman who has been abandoned together with her two children at the
hospital by the husband and the family members. She was assisted to go for medical treatment at the
Regional Hospital whilst the children were temporarily admitted into Children of Zion Home,
Anloga. The department facilitated the registration and renewal of NHIS for 128 indigents
comprising 70 Females and 58 males.
c) Registration of NGO and CBO
During the year, the Department facilitated the registration of two NGOs. Some churches applied
to the Assembly for registration and their particulars have been forwarded to the office to
conduct an investigation for their recognition.
CONSTRAINTS
 The lone office accommodation creates discomfort for both clients and officers
 Funds for service delivery and stationary is woefully inadequate if not absent.
 Lack of vehicle to promotes monitoring and supervision efforts.
 There are no cabinets for storing files resulting in files on the desks and in boxes which do not
augur well for references because searching is cumbersome.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to boost the morale of officers for increased performance, efforts should be made by the
Assembly to: -
 Allocate the adjoining office for use by the officers to minimize the discomfort due to
overcrowding which would in effect promote confidentiality.
 Make available petty cash or service money for effective running of the office.
 Provision of vehicle to facilitate effective service delivery.
 Provision of office stationery and requisite office equipment.
WAY FORWARD
Despite the challenges, officers would strive to provide effective welfare service to individuals,
groups and communities for the development of the municipality. The department would also like to
commend the Assembly for some assistance received during the year and in expectation for
maximum support in the ensuing years.
Department of Community Development

The objective of the department is to supervise existing groups such as Mass Education, Adult
Education and Women’s groups, dissemination of government policies and engaging of women’s
groups in income generating activities. The year under review has been a challenging one, due to
unavailability of funds to carry out the Departmental activities. However, with meager salaries we
were able to reach some of the communities in the Municipality.
Adult Education: A total of 10 Mass meetings and 1 study group were held. The total number of
people participated in the above programme stands as: - 1,049 participants made up of 429 Males and
620 Females. Topic Topics discussed includes Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS),
HEPATITIS, Environmental, Cholera and Personal Hygiene.

2.2.6 Municipal Agriculture Development Unit
The Municipal Agriculture Development Unit (MADU) implemented a number of activities under
FASDEP which includes the following:
 Identify, update and disseminate existing technological packages (AEAs Farm and home visits).
 Introduce improved varieties; high yielding short duration and disease resistance varieties.
 Enhance Farmers’ access to Inputs.
 MDA undertakes field supervisory visits and other management and stakeholder meetings
annually.
 Two (2) Vet. T.Os conducts animal health extension and livestock disease surveillance by 31st
December 2013.
 Supply veterinary drugs and treat sick animals by 31st December 2013.
 Undertake the cultivation of 150 acres of butternut squash.
FASDEP OBJECTIVE 1: FOOD SECURITY AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Planned Activities
- Identify, update and disseminate existing technological packages (AEAs Farm and home
visits).
- Introduce improved varieties; high yielding short duration and disease resistance varieties.
- Enhance Farmers’ access to Inputs.
Outcomes
AEAs conducted their farm and home visits throughout the period under review. In all 13 AEAs
made up of 12 males and one (10) female made 1,980 farm and home visits to 12 operational areas in
the municipality during the first and second quarter, however after a staff rationalization exercise the
number of AEAs reduced to eight from the onset of the third quarter. AEAs organized 20 farmers’
forum during the first quarter of the year under review.MDOs also carried out 680 monitoring visits
to ensure that AEAs performed the activities they were tasked to perform. The issues they dealt with
include guiding farmers to apply good agricultural practices to vegetables under cultivation with
small irrigation schemes in the southern belt of the municipality. AEAs in the northern zone mainly
advised farmers to adopt good post harvest management practices in their holdings and the need to
market their produce as FBOs in order to attract premium prices.
On the enhancement of farmers’ access to inputs MADU ensured the smooth operation of
government’s fertilizer subsidy program in the municipality. The desk officer of the program carried
out his regular checks at the registered outlets in the municipality. Passbooks were also issued to
farmers in all the operational areas to enable them benefit from the program A total of 9,871 bags of
NPK, 2,206 bags of SoA and 5,125 bags Urea were purchased by farmers by the close out of the
program during the first quarter of this year.
Status of program Implementation

The above activities especially AEAs farm and home visits, are still ongoing; the next steps are to
ensure that farmers practice good post harvest practices. This will enable them get very good prices
for their produce. On the fertilizer subsidy program, the desk officer continued to carry out his
scheduled visits to the fertilizer outlets.
48
FASDEP OBJECTIVE 2: INCREASE GROWTH IN INCOME
Planned Activities
-Two (2) Vet. T.Os conducts animal health extension and livestock disease surveillance by 31st
December 2014.
-Supply veterinary drugs and treat sick animals by 31st December 2014.
-Undertake the cultivation of 150 acres of butternut squash.
Outcomes
The veterinary Technical Officer assisted by the Municipal Officer in charge of Animal production
conducted animal health and disease surveillance to communities during the year. They educated
animal keepers in the communities on good animal husbandry practices and the detection of
notifiable disease outbreaks.
The veterinary TOs also carried out treatment of animals. 10,982 poultry were vaccinated against
Newcastle disease, 132 pets (cats and dogs) against rabies. Also, 51 farm animals were castrated, 142
dewormed and 118 treated of ectoparasites.
MADU in collaboration with Kasmed registered 87 farmers to cultivate 60 hectares of butternut

squash to Europe last year. During the period under review farmers harvested their produce and the
exporters came to ship out produce which met the export market requirement. A total of six (6) forty
foot container making 120 metric tons of butternut squash was freighted out of the municipality.
Currently the exporters have paid 50% of farmers expected revenue and plans have been finalized for
the payment of the remaining 50% of the debt owed farmers.
Status of program Implementation

The veterinary and animal health activities will continue till December this year. The veterinary TOs
are also on the alert to deal with the outbreak of livestock diseases.
On the cultivation of butternut squash, the exporter has not been able to freight all the harvested
produce. The municipal therefore organized a food bazaar to whip up local appetite and also robe in
caterers from the Ghana School Feeding Program, local caterers and matrons of second cycle institutions.
FASDEP OBJECTIVE 6: ENHANCED INSTITUTIONAL COORDINATION

Planned Activities
-MDA undertakes field supervisory visits and other management and stakeholder meetings annually.
Outcomes
MDA undertook supervisory visits and other management meeting during the quarter to ensure the
smooth administration of MADU and targeted performances of field officers are met.
The GiZ project to extend electricity to selected communities in the southern zone for vegetable
cultivation under irrigation was also borne out of effective collaboration with the farmer groups and
GiZ. During the fourth quarter, plans to celebrate the National Farmers Day in the municipality were
implemented.
Status of Program Implementation

MDA continues to undertake field supervisory visits and other management and stakeholder
meetings. On the marketing of tomatoes, it was suggested that a medium scale processing facility
49
should be established because the current is rather a small one and cannot handle the processing of
the entire surplus from the current production and beyond. It was suggested however that in the short
term the media should help by means of their corporate social responsibility to announce prices to be
fixed by the leaders of the farmer groups for the information of other farmers. This will cut out the
high rate of bad prices of dictated by the market women who come to buy tomatoes.
The GiZ program has kicked off with applications being received from farmers who wish to benefit
from the program, an office space have also been allocated to them in the premises of the department
of agriculture.
IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES
- Non disbursement of funds.
- Broken down office equipment.
- Broken down office vehicle.

PROBLEMS
Logistics Situation:
54
The department’s basic logistics are absent. No materials were collected from the Regional
office in Ho. The Municipal Assembly also has not made any funds available for the repair or
purchase of the basic office equipment and materials. This has frustrated and handicapped our
activities during the year.
Remarks:
Results are being achieved through education of the developers. However the office needs to be
supplied with field vehicle to facilitate the usual routine sites inspection.

KEY COMMENTS:
The Assembly was confronted with challenges in the 2014 fiscal financial year of which
the Assembly had little or no control over. It however recorded a tremendous revenue
improvement as against year 2013. Revenue generated in 2014 amounted to GH₵
424,705.81 as against GH₵261,932.04 representing 62.14%. This was as a result prudent
revenue mobilisation strategies put in place.
a) Release of funds has been erratic especially DACF and most often below the estimated.
Releases were also not timely and thus affect timely execution of programmes and projects.
b) Efforts to generate funds internally include the following:

 Exploitation of new revenue sources
 Training of Revenue collection staff
 Public education on the need for payment of taxes
 Strengthening of the zonal councils for effective collection of ceded areas.
 Special education on property rates payment using all medium.
 Regular monitoring of collectors.
c) Other challenges with regards to generating funds include:

 Unstable and weak economic base of the Municipality
 Lack of commitment on the part of some collectors and non- involvement of some
Assembly members in revenue mobilization
 Apathy of rateable population towards taxes particularly property rates.

3.4 Poverty Status of the Municipality and Social Intervention Programme
In reference to poverty status of the Municipality in the poverty profiling and Mapping document
prepared on the Municipality, the most deprived areas as the most poverty stricken areas are still
Shime, Kome and Atiavi Zonal Councils in the year. In summary, the Municipality could easily
be delineated into seven (7) poverty pockets. This is the basis for the design and implementation
of a comprehensive pro-poor programme for poverty reduction in the Municipality.
To a large extent the implementation of projects and programmes contained in the DMTDP so
far have some impact on the poverty on the poverty status of the Municipality in terms of
provision of potable, water, classroom infrastructure for schools, connecting more communities
to the National Grid, accessibility to health infrastructure and construction of foot- bridges in the
deprived areas of the Municipality.
3.4.1 Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP)
The LEAP Programme is part of Government’s agenda to reduce poverty in line with meeting
the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals. Ministry of Employment and Social
Welfare has introduced a Social Protection Strategy which includes conditional and
unconditional cash transfers to the extremely poor, vulnerable and excluded persons in the
society. The Keta Municipality has been benefitting from the Programme since 2008.
There are currently One thousand, One Hundred and Thirty-One (1,131) beneficiary households
in about Fifty-Nine (59) communities. This number comprises of 316 male and 815 females. At
the moment payments have been made up to the month of December, 2014 at about 17 pay-
points. The above number covers communities in the Shime, Kome, Atiavi, Anlo-Afiadenyigba,
Dzita Anyanui and Keta Zonal councils.
Several challenges face the programme, some of this are late payment schedules and difficulties
in accessing the beneficiary communities due to poor road network. It is therefore expected that a
Vehicle should be provided to Department of Social Welfare which is the lead Agency to
enhance monitoring and smooth operation of the programme.
3.4.2 Municipal Mutual Health Insurance Scheme

The Keta Municipal Mutual Health Insurance Scheme is one the fifteen (15) District-wide
Mutual Schemes in the Volta Region, and started operation in 1st October, 2004 and was
officially launched on February, 2005. The Municipal Mutual Health Insurance Scheme has 187
communities as its catchment areas.

3.4.3 Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP)

The Ghana School Feeding Programme is an initiative of Ghana government in 2006 to
encourage school enrolment and to reduce burden on parents towards their children’s education.
The Programme is being carried out on Pilot basis and is expected to be replicated in other
schools later. The Ghana School Feeding Programme for the year under review catered for 9,639
pupils made up of 4,788 boys and 4851 girls from 27 schools. Pupils from Kindergarten and
Primary schools are fed at each of the schools. Meals such as rice and stew, rice and beans,
Akple and soup, Kenkey and stew and sometimes oranges are served daily in the schools.
59
However, in spite of progress made on the implementation of the programme certain challenges
are hindering the success of the Programme. The immediate ones include:
 Delay in release of funds for the beneficiary schools in the Keta Municipality
 GH¢ 0.50 per child is inadequate compared to rising cost of foodstuff.
 Quantity of food served in some schools looked insufficient as it is attributable to the grant
per child.
It is also on record that while school population have increased over the previous year the old
enrolment is used in computation for the cost of feeding. It is therefore hoped that these
shortcomings would quickly be addressed to pave way for smooth running of the Programme and
for it to be extended to other schools in the Municipality.

1) PTA representative - Chairperson
2) Head teacher - Secretary
3) School Management Committee - Member
4) Traditional Ruler - Member
5) An Assemblyman/Woman - Member
6) School Boys Prefect - Member
7) School Girls Prefect - Member
One major function of the SIC among others is to undertake day-to-day supervision of activities
of the GSFP in the School.
District Implementation Committee (DIC)

composition of the DIC is as follows:
1) The Municipal Chief Executive - Chairman
2) The Municipal Director of Education

60
5) One Traditional Ruler from the District
6) Two representatives of Social Services Sub-c’ttee
7) One Opinion Leader from the Municipality
8) The Municipal Desk Officer, GSFP - Secretary.
DIC Decisions at its meetings

The DIC decided to do the under listed:
1) Termly monitoring of beneficiary schools
2) To courage GSFP Caterers and communities to adopt the use of butternut squash because
of its high nutritional values.
3) To appeal to government to add more schools to the existing ones; among others.
Challenges
Some of the challenges that the GSFP is going through are:
1) Delay in release of fund
2) Undue pressure on GSFP Caterers from food item suppliers who supply goods on credit.
3) Inadequate logistics to support Desk Officers to effectively do their work.
4) Low rate per day per pupil.
Conclusion
The GSFP is a loudable initiative of government. The programme since its inception has helped
to encourage enrolment and retained pupils in many schools in the Keta Municipality.
It is our expectation that the GSFP gets a reliable financial support to enable it does regular
payments to GSFP Caterers for their work done.
3.4.4 Business Advisory Centre (BAC)

The Business Advisory Centre operates in the Municipality with the goal of improving the
livelihoods and incomes of rural poor micro and small entrepreneurs. The main objective
of the BAC is to increase the number of rural MSEs that generate profit, growth and employment
opportunities. During the year under review, the following activities were sponsored by the Rural

Challenges
 The late released of funds by REP for the implementation of activities for the some quarters
is affecting the effectiveness of the office.
 Lack of funding (Budget allocation) from the Assembly to the office for day-to-day running
of the office.
 Lack of logistics
 The office is in poor state and therefore some renovation.
 The office for that matter the officers of BAC are mostly excluded from the Assemblies
social activities, e.g. internal capacity buildings organize by the Assembly.
The Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Development Agency (GYEEDA) formerly
National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) under the various modules namely
Community Education Teaching Assistants, Health Extension Workers, Waste & Sanitation
Module, Youth in Security Service and Youth in Trade and Vocation etc. The programme aimed
at providing employment for the youth in the Municipality and the country at large. It was also
helping to complement the staffing positions especially in schools and the health institutions.
During the year under review, the department had not carried out any activities due to the
ongoing restructuring of the agencies.

CHALLENGES
The secretariat is always financially handicapped when it comes to Public Education and
Awareness Creation. Our proposals towards this end are always met with the answer “no fund”.
3.4.7 Evaluation and Participatory, Monitoring & Evaluation

Evaluation and Participatory Monitory and Evaluation activities were undertaken to reflect
performance of the last year of the DMTDP
i) Evaluation
There was mid-term and annual evaluations based on the performance in terms of progress
reports prepared and discussed where shortfalls and other emerging issues were identified.
Assessment of interventions brought about by the projects implemented were identified as
largely improving beneficiary conditions as making them better off with the projects issues of
trigger-off situations were also identified for collection. It was also not possible gain to institute a
64
commission to evaluate the Sea Defence Project currently but worth noting for Impact
Assessment.
ii) Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation

Within the period under consideration, participatory monitoring and evaluation by the use of
community Score card for Tregui Health Centre at Tregui could not be carried out Weme and
Atiteti Similarly, assessment of poor BECE performance and of pupils of two Junior High
Schools (Kodzi and Atito) could also be done due to funding problems.
3.4.8 Key issues addressed and those yet to be addressed

ii) Key Issues Yet to Be Addressed
 Youth unemployment in the Municipality
 Poor loan repayment (Micro-credit) by farmer and other economic groups.
 Adequacy of funds to support projects/Programme executions is still an issue to be
addressed
3.4.9 Recommendations
The following are some of the recommendations to improve performance:
 Improvement in data collection including decentralized agencies CBOs and NGOs in the
Municipality
 Dissemination of Reports to relevant stakeholders and decision makers should be more
intensified
 Monitoring and evaluation budget line created should also be rigidly respected and used only
for the purpose.
 Capacity building tools for Monitoring and Evaluation Team especially MPCU
 Exploitation of new revenue sources training of revenue staff and public education.
The Way Forward

In line with strategies embodied in the Action Plan for 2014 it is envisaged that conscious efforts
would be made to address most of the stumbling blocks to make the Municipality have its grips
on all its projects and programmes for the growth and change envisaged.
3.4.10 Conclusion
The accelerated transformation of the Municipality in terms of structure of the local economy,
increased production, social needs and more ecological balanced natural environment, more
financial efforts and drive, more human development in capacity building would move the
Municipality forward.
