The La Nkwantanang-Madina Municipality in the Greater Accra Region has topped the 2016 UNICEF District League Table with North Tongu in the Volta Region coming in last.<\/p>\n
This District League Table was constructed in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, UNICEF Ghana and the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD Ghana).<\/p>\n
Introduced in 2014, the District League Table is a social accountability tool that ranks Ghana\u2019s 216 Districts by their level of development and service delivery.<\/p>\n
The most improved District in 2016 was the Wa East in Upper West Region which increased its score by 27 percentage points.<\/p>\n
In the 2015 District League Table the Tema Metropolitan Assembly in the Greater Accra Region topped the list but dropped to second in 2016.<\/p>\n
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly moved up from 37 in 2015 to 34 in 2016 whilst the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly came in at 366<\/p>\n
The key district indicators are aggregated into an index which allows the districts to be ranked from 1st down to 216th place in terms of level of development.<\/p>\n
Based on consultations with the Ministries and Agencies concerned, the District League Table uses indicators from 6 key sectors – health, education, sanitation, water, governance and security – to compile a single score for each District.<\/p>\n
The national average is 58.9, which 101 districts fall below, compares with an average of 56 in 2015.<\/p>\n
