Gov’t Launches “Performance Tracker” On Wednesday

The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to launch what his government calls the Performance Tracker this Wednesday in Accra.

The Ministry of Information announced this on Monday, April 8, 2024, in a social media post.

The platform, the Ministry said, is aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the execution of infrastructure projects across the country which will serve as a reliable mechanism for showcasing the progress and impact of infrastructure projects.

The launch will take place on April 10 at GIMPA, in Accra.

The Performance Tracker was first brought to public knowledge by the President while delivering the State of the Nation Address (SONA) in February.

He credited Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for the initiative.

“Mr Speaker, if you want to check on roads, classroom blocks or CHIP compounds or Agenda 111 hospitals, or bridges, or science laboratories, or water projects, or sanitation projects, or landing sites and harbours, and other infrastructural projects, or whatever this Government used your tax money to execute, the key to your query is right there on your phone.

“Mr Speaker, the Performance Tracker will be formally launched in March, and I am offering it as the device which would help bring accountability into your hands. With the Performance Tracker, we can be sure that never again will pictures of an artist’s impression be offered as projects that have been executed,” he said.

A platform created on the Ghana.gov site for the Performance Tracker says readers would access a wide range of content, including articles, videos, audio, pictures, infographics, and metrics related to the government’s performance.

“This information can be used by researchers, journalists, and policymakers to assess the effectiveness of government programs and identify areas where more work needs to be done,” it suggested.
