Mpohor-Fiase District Assembly Embarks on Monitoring and Evaluation Exercise to Assess Development Projects

The Mpohor-Fiase District Assembly has commenced a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation exercise across several communities to assess the progress and quality of ongoing and completed development projects within the district.
The exercise, which forms part of the Assembly’s routine oversight responsibilities, is aimed at ensuring that projects are executed according to approved specifications, within set timelines, and deliver value for public funds. Monitoring and evaluation remain critical tools in governance, helping to promote accountability, transparency, and effective decision-making while improving service delivery.

The inspection team was led by the District Chief Executive, Sophia Aubyn, accompanied by the Presiding Member, John Donkoh, and a team of technocrats headed by the District Coordinating Director, Mr. Alhassan Sulemana. As part of the exercise, the delegation paid courtesy calls on traditional authorities in all the communities visited. The team engaged chiefs, opinion leaders, and residents to gather first-hand feedback on the impact of projects and strengthen collaboration between the Assembly and local communities.

TheThe monitoring exercise began at Manpong, where the team inspected key projects including the construction of a CHPS compound to improve access to primary healthcare, a mechanized borehole to provide potable water, and a 12-seater water closet toilet facility.
