The Ministry of Monitoring and Evaluation has planned to commence citizen participation in governance from 2020.
According to the finance committee report on the 2020 programme-based budget estimates for the Ministry of Monitoring and Evaluation, The Ministry “will in 2020 engage in activities towards promoting citizens’ participation in governance”.
In this vein, the Ministry will introduce citizens-based and community engagement programmes to strengthen community-based monitoring and evaluation and to
educate the public on Govemment’s M&E agenda.
On rapid evaluation of One Village One Dam (1V1D) the Ministry is said to have collaborated with the ‘IDinsight, Twende Mbele’ and the Ministry of Special Development Initiatives and conducted a rapid evaluation of the One-Village-One-Dam, (1V1D), project in the five regions in Northern Ghana.
The aim of the rapid evaluation was to assess the progress of implementation, emerging outcomes and potential impacts of the 1V1D intervention.
It also sought to document emerging issues and challenges that require immediate attention of Cabinet, Ministry for Special Development Initiatives (MSDI) and other stakeholders.
With the above programme and others, the House has approved the sum of Nine Million, Two Hundred and Seven Thousand, One Hundred and Eighty-Seven Ghana Cedis (GH¢9,207J187) for the implementation of the programmes and activities of the
Ministry of Monitoring and Evaluation for the Financial Year commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020.
