In a little over a month from now, Ghanaians will have the opportunity to decide on whether or not, our local government leaders be elected on partisan lines. Proponents of the idea believe, that election of these officials will narrow the accountability gap while stimulating active citizenship.
However, when all is said and done, the crucial matter of innovative revenue generation schemes, efficient expenditure management and general accountability need discussing.
It is in furtherance of the above objective, that IMANI Centre for Policy & Education (IMANI) is launching a report of a project on spending efficiency of local government agencies in Ghana. IMANI assessed the expenditure patterns, efficiencies and accountability mechanisms of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana, with a view to providing insights into how we can leverage participatory budgeting tools to improve efficiency and accountability.
Details of the launch are as follows:
Date: 20th November, 2019
Time: 09:30am
Venue: Alisa Hotel
We trust you will be interesred in this event. Please confirm intetest by emailing info@imanighana.org.
Yours sincerely,
Franklin Cudjoe
(Founding President & CEO, IMANI CPE)
NB: IMANI will be launching two major reports before the end of the year. The first is a comprehensive report ” EXPLORING REVENUE MANAGEMENT & PRODUCER PRICING MECHANISM WITHIN GHANA’S COCOA SECTOR”. The second report will be a “MID-TERM ASSESSMENT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE RULING NPP GOVERNMENT- A SCORE CARD WILL BE ISSUED.
Keep IMANI in your thoughts.
