DISTRICT ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

Introduction

Implementation is the execution of planned activities to achieve set objectives.  Current government policies on decentralization indicate that Metropolitan, Municipal, District Assemblies, as Planning Authorities are fully responsible for the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies, programmes and projects (Act 462). This means that the Kintampo North Municipal Assembly together with all its departments and agencies has primary responsibility for the plan implementation and assessment of project impacts.  This responsibility of the Assembly will be led by the Municipal Planning Coordinating Unit (MPCU), which will have frontline responsibility for the coordination of plan implementation.  This effort will be supported by the Regional Planning Coordinating Unit, financiers of activities and relevant bodies.
