Shama
Summary of Findings
The Shama District Assembly scored 54 per cent in the overall assessment of its performance, based on the GAS audit findings. Strengths: The Assembly’s major strength is in capital project initiation largely because it involved communities and other stakeholders in selecting the projects and followed guidelines in budgeting for the projects. Weaknesses: The audit revealed gaps in how the Assembly procured and engaged contractors, monitored and supervised the execution of the projects, made payments to the contractors, among others. It also showed delays in the completion of one of the projects.
Scorecard
