The Minister of Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has unveiled the recently introduced Performance Tracker, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability in infrastructure projects nationwide.
Oppong Nkrumah stressed that the tracker addresses persistent concerns regarding the accuracy and reliability of project representations, particularly the use of artistic impressions to depict outcomes.
Speaking at the official launch of the tracker at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) on Wednesday, April 10, Oppong Nkrumah disclosed that the platform currently encompasses over 13,000 projects nationwide.
Highlighting its evolution from the previously launched Delivery Tracker by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in 2020, the Minister explained that the Performance Tracker encompasses a diverse range of projects, including infrastructure and service delivery initiatives, validated across all sixteen regions of the country. He noted that the platform’s latest data is from June 2023.
Oppong Nkrumah emphasized the ongoing efforts to continually update the Performance Tracker, with various ministries and agencies contributing data beyond the June 2023 timeframe.
Describing the Performance Tracker as a comprehensive database, the Minister underscored its user-friendly interface, accessible via both a website and a mobile application.
He highlighted the platform’s rigorous validation process, including geo-tagging and photographing projects to ensure transparency. He noted, “As of June 2023, there are over 13,000 projects across the 261 districts, spanning the 16 regions and involving 28 ministries, all validated and updated on this platform.”
The Minister emphasized the platform’s significance in showcasing the government’s performance, accessible through both website and mobile application interfaces, covering projects across 267 districts, 28 ministries, and 16 regions.
