The Performance Tracker, introduced by the government on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, aims to promote transparency and accountability in the implementation of infrastructure projects nationwide.
During the launch, the Minister of Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, emphasised its role in enhancing transparency and accountability in infrastructure projects across the country.
He noted that the tracker addresses long-standing concerns regarding the accuracy and reliability of project presentations, particularly regarding the use of artist’s impressions to depict outcomes.
He said the tracker currently showcases over 13,000 projects nationwide.
The Ofoase-Ayirebi MP highlighted that the tracker represents an upgraded version of the previously introduced Delivery Tracker by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in 2020, underscoring its significance in tracking the progress of various projects across the nation.
