GHANA:, IIYSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT TO TW O MINISTRIESO). .

(VINiVTRY OF FINANCE AND M INISTRY 0#EMPLIF MENT AND SOCIAL WELFARE)

1.;

1.1 The Government of Ghana (GOG) submitted to the Bank, in October 1997, a request forfmancial support to strengthen the capacity of two units in the M inistry . of Finance's lnternatioùalEconomic Relations Division (IERD), namely, ADB Desk and the Aid and Debt Managemçnt. Unit(ADMU). The request stated that the Barlk Group is Ghana's second largest multilateral donor and itsportlblio was set to expand following the approval of the Country Strategy. Paper at the beginnipg of1997 wllich recomm ended an enhanced progrnmme, and also in view of the successful replenishment ofthe ADF. Furthermore, the Bank was reminded that it was instrumental in the establishment of the unitas, at the 1993 Paris Consultative Group meeting for Ghana, the Bank suggested the setting up of anADB Desk in the M inistry of Finance. This call was prompted by genuine desire to improve theperformance of the Bank's portfolio, particularly as the ADB has no local representation in the copntry.

'Fhe request added that the capacity building required for the Desk included staff training, developmentof systems for the effective monitoring of the Bank's portfolio and other projects coordinatçd by theunit, provision of essential equipment, and logistical support. Besides responsibilities for Bank mak ers,the Desk also coordinates projects funded by BADEA, OPEC Fund, and IFAD. The Portfolio Reviewundertaken by the Bank in 1997 revealed a number of implementation problems which made the qualityof the Bnnk's portfolio in Ghana less than satisfactory. The Review contirmed that capacity weaknesseswitllin the ADB Desk contributed to this problem as the unit lacked adeqtlate staff, suitable monitoringsystem, and equipment to enable it to closely monitor the implementation pf the projects.

INYRODUG ION AND ORIGIN OF THE PROJECT

1.2 Regarding ADM U, the unit is responsible for the proper recording of aid flows, repayment ofdebt, and other related activities. Three main operating system s have been installed in the tmit for thispurpose: Commonwealth Secretariat's Debt Recording and Management System (CS-DRMS), and theUnited Nations Development Cooperation Analysis System (DCAS). The systems, howevetj areregularly upgraded to ensure that they meet the changing needs of both the Government and thecreditors. This calls for regular training to erthance staff s use of the systems and, in this regard, bothattachments at the Commonwealth Secretariat and other courses and seminars are essential.Furthermore, staff training on the recently installed Aid Management Information System (AMIS) isrequired in order to enhance ADM U'S effectiveness. Also, logistical support to facilitate the continuousreview of aid and debt data with local representatives of the donor community is required. lt . waspointed out, however, that the significant progress made by the unit excluded domestic debtmanagem ent. Thus, the assistance would also address this problem by' establishing a database fordom estic debt and reviewing al1 the issues in domestic debt managem ent so as to com e up with arecomm endation for an appropriate system for the management ofdomestic d.ebt.

1.3 The MOF's Project Ilnplementation and Monitoring Unit (PIMU) is another unit in need ofcapacity building. PIM U was established in 1997 and is rejponsible for inspeeting al1 Gov:rnmeht

projects in the country and assessing whether their physical implementation progress is consistent withthe disbursements already made. These physical audits involve extensive travel around the country andalso require good monitoring systems. As PIM U has problems of inadqquacy of staff, transporq andem cient monitoring systems, there is need for strengthening the unit.

1.4 The Research Division (RD) of MOF is an important unit which undertakes macroeconomicresearch and provides policy advice to the M inister. Since its creation in 1997, the unit has notfunctioned properly due to inadequacy of staff and office equipment. Thus,' its data analysis functionsand the formulation of policy proposals have been impeded. The RD requires to be strengthened tom ake it effective.

projects' implementation around the country is another area requiring strengthening, tögeiher with theADFB Desk and the Research Division. Furthermore, the relations between the Goverhm ent andNGOs, together with civil society participation need improvements, and the M ESW coordinates thesem atters.

2.2 Units to be Provided with Capacitv Building

Aid and Debt Manacement Unit (ADM U)

2.2.1 ADM U in M OF form ulates and updates Ghana's aid and debt management policies, coordinatestheir im plem entation, and monitors debt to alert the authorities in a timely manner on debt. serviceobligations. This entails managing a comprehensive aid database, providing inputs tbr the formulationof public investment probrrammes (PIP) and the budget tluough identification and estimation of aidresources tlows. Other functions include t-acilitating the preparation of Consultative Group meetings,m onitoring the overall utilization of aid and identifying factors constraining aid absorption, liaising witha11 Government Agencies and the donor community to ensure effective access to data on aid, andm onitoring debt and the use of aid by beneficiaries. The Unit Head of ADM U, who reports to the ChiefDirector, hms 8 staff with 10 other vacant positions which will be Glled soon.

2.2.2 ln recognition of the need for a proper debt management fram ework in the country, theGovemment requested the Economic and Legal Advisory Services (ELAS) of the Commonwea1thSecretariat (CS) to set up a computer-based debt recording and management system IDRMSI. Thesystem was eventually installed in ADMU and extended in 1993 to the Controtler and Accountant-General's Office and the Bank of Ghana. This system has outstanding features for debt managementand forecasting. Besides, its capacity and relative tlexibility have perm itted subsequent incom oration ofaid management in an integrated manner. Thus, ADM U is the focal Unit in Ghana for all aid and debtmanagement. W hen the on-going network installation linking Bank of Ghana and the AccountantGeneral's Office to ADM U is completed, the former two institutions will be able to directly accqss awide range of aid and debt data on the system. Furthermore, preparations arr underway to process dataon dom estic debt on the CS-DRM S. '

2.2.3 Considering the npmber of ADM U staff and the training programmes that the staff have availedthem selves of, together with the installed systems, the Unit's capacity should by now have beensum ciently strengthened to effectively manage the country's aid and debt. However. four factors m ak, e

it essential to further build ADMU'S capacity: (a) frequent turnover of trained staff', (b) the need forconstant systems modifications to meet the changing needs of stékeholders (for example, to'accommodate ADB'S new billing systeml; (c) retraining needs consistent with any additional sub-systems introduced', and (d) the need to improve logistics for purposes of information and data gatheringfrom Governm ent Agencies and donor representatives in and around Accra and the veritication of w chinformation.

Proiect Implrmentation Monitorinjt Unit (PIMU)

2.2.4 PIM U is the unit of M OF charged with the responsibility of monitoring the physicalimplementation of al1 Government projects including those funded by donors. This involves site visitsto ascertain the actual progress of im plementation and see whether it is consistent with the level ofdisbmsed funds. The coverage of these project inspections of physical a'udits is nevertheless limited.Of the estimated 1,680 projects ctlrrently under implementation, PIMU can only inspect 80 annuallythroughout Ghapa's 10 Regions. This is based on a sample of two projects per Region every quarterand reveals a coverage of only 5% of the total number of projects in one year. The constraining factorsare the limited number of staff and inadequpte transport facilities. PIM U'S monitoring does notduplicate the monitoring undertaken by the ADB Desk as the latter involves technical supervisions,which are more detailed and more frequent as they have to be carried out for each project at least oncein a year.

done to bring about greater trust and cooperation between them . This would f-acilitate the effectivenessof the role of NGOs in the overall economic development of the country.

2.2.10 It is essential that the building blocks of trust, transparency, and deeper cooperation be tirmlyestablished. To accomplish this, the following weaknesses have to be addressed: (a) Iack ofcomprehensive institutional and legal framework for Governmentm Go relations', (b) lack. ofdocumented evidence of NGO contribution to national development', (c) inadequate infonhation on theactivities of the Government and NGOs; (d) weak institutional capacity of many NGOs and commqpity-based organizations (CBOs),' and (e) absence of processes for the lnonitoripg and evaluation ()f NGOsand CBOs to objectively establish their credibility. Some ground work has been done in the form of a'workshop organised by the M ESW in 1995 with the collaboration of the NGO commtmity. Theworkshop sought to: (a) review Governmentm Go partnership in promoting sustainable developlpent,'.(b) establish a mechanism to promote regular consultation, coordination and networking among NGosand Government institutions in areas of policy planning and implementation', and (c) review the exisfinginstim tional fram ework for registration of NGOs.

Yvere2.2.11 As those earlier efforts only just the beginning, further action is required. TheGovernment's strategy to follow up on these concerns entails conducting two studies on N. G Osfollowed by joint workshops with NGOs to benetit from the tindings of the studies. One of the studiewill review and analyse the extent of NGOs' contributions to the development of Ghana wheregs theother sm dy will concentrate on the issues of enhancing the efectiveness of women NGOs. The follow-

kshops to be organised in aIl ten regions of Ghana will strengthen the relations between theup worGovenunent and NGOs. Workshop participants will include NGO Desk Ofticers in Governmentministries and NGO members. Other collaborative efforts will include the review and reformulation ofGovem ment policy on NGOs to make it m ore proactive, and establish the basis for more effective NGOparticipation in the country's decision-m aking process affecting socio-ecopom ic developm ent. Theneed for a separate study covering only women NGOs and thereatler a separate nationwide round ofworkshops targeting women NGOs is in recognition of the fact that the Government is in the process ofadopting affirmative action to prom ote women's development in a1l aspects of life. A third study will

lish their nature and the p' ossibility o$- enhancing tàeirbe undertaken covering all civil society to estabpm icipation in the country's development.

ADB Desk

2 2 12 The ADB Desk was established in 1993 following a call to this effect during the ConsultativeGroup M eeting for Ghana. lt is located in the Intemational Economic Relat.ions Division IIEIlDI of MOF.ln addition to managing the Ballk Group's operations which currently include 1 8 on-going projects, theDesk is also responsible tbr following-up all ADB relations with the country including such matters as theBnnk's capital increase, ADF replenislunent. and Almual M eetings. In this regard, it provides pplicyadvice on the ADB to the M inister, in his capacity as ADB Governor. Other functions of the Desk includecoordination of projects funded by BADEA, IFAD, and OPEC Fund, currentl# numbering five altogether.A11 the four donors (ADB, BADEA, IFAD, and OPEC Fund) are set to substantially expand theiroperations in Ghana. In the case of the ADB, the strong performance rating under the 1996-1998 CountrySkategy cleared the way for an enhanced lending programme, a situation which will result in a rapid

increase in the number of new Balzk Grouj conuuitments in Ghana. For example, tlu'ee of the projects,with lonnq amounting to a total of UA 3 l mlllion, were approved by the Boards in 1 997, raising the BankGroup's cumulative interventions in Ghana to the present level of UA 432.74 mtllion.

2.2.13 The Desk Officer. who is of the rank of a Principal Econom ist is assisted by a newly recruitedom cer. A third position of Senior Economics Ofticer has been established and will sùon be tilled. TheDesk's capacity to effectively discharge its duties has been liluited by the inadequate number of staff, andlack of project monitoring systems and logistical support.

C. Strengthening Economic Research

3.4.5 Under this component, a study of the Research Division (RD) within MOF will be carried out todetermine ltD's capacity requirements and taking into accotmt the cpllaborati.cm on çconpmtc'bata betweenRD and other Govermrent agents, particularly the Bénk of Gh.o a'siResdarch Departrh. <nt and' th4xN ationâlDevelopment Planning Commission (NDPC). The study wi,ll therefore review thç central bank's ResearchDepm m ent and NDPC and ascertain the economic data.aadtinfonuation Flïiçh isqpr cpuld be sourced frbm

l d ill loûk into the entire MOF to establish the intemal sources ofthem by the RD. Furthermore, t Ae stu y w ,

information and data tbr the 11.17. All this backgrotmd work will help to continn the naiure of informationflow which is critical lbr the RD's work. The study will then recommend suitable capacity building in RD .W here necessary, the study will recommend strengthening of the central bank's Research Departm ent andthe NDPC in order to ensure that the data accessed by the RD is reliable and available on a timely b%is.

Tllis would reduce the need for the RD to attempt to be self sufficient in data generation just because thetraditional sources such as the central bank and NDPC provide some of the data with delay or the dataappears som ewhat deticient. The solution to this is to provide suitable capacity building to the centralbank's Research Department and NDPC.

3.4.6 Another area of interest tbr the study will be the various capacity building assistance provided toM OF by different donors. The study will review the nature of al1 such assistance and evaluate itseFectiveness in view of the fiagmented approach of such assistance to M OF. This aspect of the study willbe useful in guiding M OF in future as to the appropriate type of institutional support required to enhancethe M inistry's perfonnance. Furthermore, the results of the study would bè useful to other Governmentagencies when considering offers of fragmented capacity building.

3.4.7 Upon completion of the study six months after project's commencement, the findings,recommendations and GOG comments will be reviewed by the Bank and be the subject of a mid-termreview mission in order to agree on the generated items to be financed by the project and the mannerof their implementation. This will precede disbursements for the items generated by the study. Theagreed strengthening of the RD will then be embarked upon so that it is completed within the project'simplementation period. lt is envisaged that, in view of the current inadequate staffing of RD, traihing

is likely to be the major target of the capacity building under the component, while systemsdevelopment for econom ic research together with computers and other essential office equipment willtnke the balance of the com ponent's allocation.

D.

3.4.8 The effective participation of civil society in the development process will be the thrust of thiscomponent. Two studies of three and six months duration each will be conducted under thecoordination of M ESW : one will review the NGO sector to determine its operational performance andimpact on development and also ascertain capacity building needs. The study will pay particularattention to women NGOs and their special needs, including those of children. The other study .will

review relations between civil society and the Government, including legislation, with the objective tobring about improved collaboration at the policy and operations level. This latter study will provideinformation on a1l form s Of civil society organizations and their role in dvvelopment, and also create adatabase on the nature and areas of interest of civil society, thus facilitating the inclusion of civilsociety and improve, am ong other things, the quality of Bank Group's interventions in the country..

Strenethenina of Civil Societv Participation

3.4.9 The tindings of the first study will be the basis for workshops under the project to beundertaken across the country, in each one of the country's ten regions. The participants will bedrawn from NGO umbrella groups, women NGOs, other NGOs, and NGO Desk Officers provided byM ESW positioned in Goverlunent M inistries. The dissemination of the findings of these smdies willbe enriched by the feedback from the workshops after which the Government will consider necessarypolicy changes to enhance NGOs effectiveness. The project will tinance the twenty workshops.

E. Strenethenine the ADB Desk

3.4. 10 The coordination of Bank Group operations in Ghana is undertaken by the ADB Desk in M OFwhich is also responsible tbr coordinating the operations of BADEA, IFAD, and OPEC Fund. TheDesk is not adequately staffed to effectively carry out this task as only o' ne of the two ofticers, aPrincipal Econom ist, has adequate training in form of a masters in economics and sufficientexperience.

Sustainabilitv

3.7.1 The,desir. of this project has p. ttt .muth remphasis :not .ortly .(m the .effectiveness of 'the capacitybuilding that' will be undertaken but also on its sustainability. The emphasis on htlm an development, acomponent that accounts for nearly 60% of the project cost, which also includes on-thejob traininginvolving systems developed under the project, is intended to enstlre that'lthe key personnel in thebeneficiary units are equipped with the teclmical skills to substantially increase their productivity. As theprojed implementation monitoring systems that will be designed will be rigorously tested by tlie staff ofthe Ilnits during the training period, the departure of the design experts will not be followed by diminished

project benefits. Furthermore, the systems will be developed with manuals on the various monitolingprocesses. This will enable the staff to quickly lenrn how to use the systems and apply that knowledgefully even before the departure of the expelts. The manuals will serve as mferences after the departure ofthe experts. n ese feamres of the project enhance tlze sustainability of this capacity building.

3.7.2 Regarding the total recurrent costs of the project, which amount to UA 53,280 for the whole threeyear period of implementation, they will be bome by the Government. Apart.from the PM U'S stationery,the rest of the recurrent costs amounting to UA 13,687 nnnually and comprising fuel and maintenance forthe four vellicles will continue to be incurred as they are essential for the. project's sustainability. TheGovenunent will undertake to continue to meet these recurrent costs after the project's completion and thusensure continued adequacy of capacity for aid and debt coordination and projects implementationm onitoring.

3.8 Aid Cobrdination

'Ihe project wms the subject of consultations with aid agencies represented in Ghpna who generallyexpressed satisfaction with its scope. In particular, the lM F and W orld Bank, together with donors such asUNDP and UK that had previously provided capacity building for aid and 'debt management in M OF,welcomed the project's assistance in form of further strengthening aid and debt management. , The

5. JUSTIFICATIO N. IM PACT. AND RISK S

5.1 Justiscation

n e Government's capacity to effectively manage the economy requires strengthening.Specifically, in view of capacity weaknesses. in the M OF's monitoring of developm ent progrnmm' ,':s andprojects tmder implementation around the country, and aid and debt mHagement, there is a risk thataccotmtability in the use of development resources could be compromised. Even with ihe lineministries' and Regionalr istrict level authorities' monitoring of projects within 'th eir purview, theGovernment has recognised the need to introduce additional project mopitoring by MOF whieh inspectsphysical outputs against implementation schqdules and disbursed funds. Such physical project audits on

6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOM M ENDATIONS

6.1 Conclusions

6.1.1 The current project will complement various on-going capacity b,uilding programmes in MOF,nnmely, the multi-donor Public Financial Management Refonn Programme (PUFMARP), the WorldBank-mssisted Economic Management Support Project (EMS), and various assistance by bilateraldonors. The provision of capacity building for project implementation monitoring (including for theADB Desk) and the Research Division, together with the completion of the capacity building for theAid and Debt Management Unit (ADMU) remain the most important outstoding capacity building inMOF. The project seeks to rectify this. Furthermore, there is recognition of thç Government's effprtsto strengthen the relations with civil society. The project will facilitate this development and also toenhance the capacity of NGOs, with special attention to women NGOs. Also, the project jeeks createfoundation for enhancing civil society's participation in the development process and Bank Groupoperations in the country.

6. 1.2 M anpower development will be the m ost important elem ent of this capacity building and willcomplement the various systems to bç developed under the project. The project's outstanding feature isits deep concern for the s'ustainability of the benefits to be realised. This is çvident in the project's over-whelming emphasis on system s and human resources development.
