Top Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in the country did not perform well in the year 2014, a report released by the Centre for Democratic Governance (CDD) has shown.<\/p>\n

The report dubbed District League Table (DLT) is a simple ranking tool which assessed the progress of the MMDAs in the areas of education, sanitation, rural water, health, security and governance.<\/p>\n

“The ultimate objective of the District League Table is to increase social accountability in Ghana that will lead to improving development for the country\u2019s population,” the report added.<\/p>\n

In all, the Tano South District Assembly in the Brong Ahafo Region topped the list with a total score of 76 while the Karaga District Assembly in the Northern Region ranked last with a paltry 15 score.<\/p>\n

According to the report, 95 MMDAs out of 216 scored below the average score of 58%.<\/p>\n

Out of the 6 metropolitan assemblies in the country, only one, Tema Metropolitan Assembly, made it into the first 20 ranking.<\/p>\n
