Minister of Monitoring and Evaluation, Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei, has launched on Thursday, January 2, 2020, a Results Fair to highlight the achievements of the Akufo-Addo administration in Accra according to a Daily Guide report.
Hon. Akoto Osei says the fair which is sponsored by the Government of Ghana under the World Bank-funded Public Sector Reform for Results Project (PSRRP), is scheduled to take place from 14th to 16th January 2020.
“The Government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) under His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is committed to improving the wellbeing of all Ghanaians,” he said.
In this regard, he noted, the Government has put in place measures to ensure that all the key priority programs are implemented in a timely and cost-effective manner.
The Results Fair is one of the efforts by the government to promote inclusive engagement and interactions between the public sector and the citizenry to promote evidence-based decision-making and improve accountability for results.
A lot has been accomplished since the Government led by our President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, came into office in January 2017, according to him.
“My Ministry was established to play a lead role in establishing systems and mechanisms for effective tracking of progress of implementation and achievement of the goals and objectives of key government programs,” he stated.
“We have performed this role in close partnership with Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) and other institutions such as the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC),” the Minister noted.
“Since 2017, my Ministry has worked in close collaboration with the MDAs and other institutions to strengthen the foundation for effective generation and use of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) information for the management of ongoing programs and for policy and decision-making,” he said.
