The government will on Wednesday, 10th April 2024, launch the Performance Tracker at GIMPA, in Accra. The platform is aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the execution of infrastructure projects across the country.
The tracker will help address longstanding concerns about the accuracy and reliability of project presentations, particularly the use of artist’s impressions to depict outcomes.
It will serve as a reliable mechanism for showcasing the progress and impact of infrastructure projects, thereby instilling trust and confidence among citizens.
Prior to this, President Akufo-Addo had announced during the 2024 State of the Nation Address (SONA) that plans are underway to launch the Tracker which would allow for the verification of projects embarked on by his administration and ultimately improve transparency and accountability.
“This Government is coming up with what will allow everyone and anyone to check on every project being undertaken by the government without having to listen to the President’s Message on the State of the Nation. We are calling it the Performance Tracker. You can check and satisfy yourself about the status of the projects and their location, and you could stop by and make a physical inspection if you were so minded.”
“Mr Speaker, the Performance Tracker will be formally launched in March, and I am offering it as the device which would help bring accountability into your hands. With the Performance Tracker, we can be sure that never again will pictures of an artist’s impression be offered as projects that have been executed.” he added.
