The Kwahu North District assembly hopes to qualify and benefit from the next bach of the districft development facility.
The assembly is currently being assessed under the Functional Organisation Assessment Tool (FOAT). The evaluations will determin the performance of the assembly against predetermined agreed upon indicators.
The District Development Facility is a performance-based grant system being implemented by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development which was started as part of the government’s efforts to improve the performance of the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in terms of efficiency, transparency and accountability.
It is aimed among other things to mobilise additional financial resources for MMDAs; provide incentives for performance for complying with the national legal and regulatory framework; establish a link between performance assessment and capacity building support; and ensure a harmonized system for investment funding and capacity building support to MMDAs.
These will help in efficient provision of basic community infrastructure and service delivery through judicious use of resources.
