DACF is expected to be released quarterly by the Common Fund Administrator. However, these releases

are often done every late which delays the implementation of some development projects and

programmes in the DMTDP. Again, no money was received under District Development Facility (DDF)

for 2011. This has made some projects and programmes in the DMTDP which were partially

implemented or not implemented at all to be rolled over to next year.

It can also be seen from the above tables that the funds received in 2011 were less than what was

received in 2010.
