The Centre for Local Governance Advocacy (CLGA), with funding support from the European Union, has officially launched the 2024 edition of the Public Financial Management Compliance League Table (PFMCLT).
This key initiative assesses and ranks the performance of all Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) across the country, based on their adherence to sound public financial management practices.
Speaking at the launch, the Deputy Executive Director of the CLGA, Hon. Gladys Gillian Naadu Tetteh, announced that the national average compliance score for 2024 stands at 33 percent, representing a notable improvement over the previous year’s performance.
“We are encouraged by the steady progress being made in financial governance at the local level. A 33 percent national average may not seem high, but it marks a clear improvement and signals that assemblies are gradually embracing better financial practices,” she said.
The La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly emerged as the top-ranked assembly on the 2024 league table, securing 1st place for its exemplary financial management and compliance.
The PFMCLT continues to serve as a vital tool for promoting transparency and accountability in local governance. It is designed to strengthen public financial governance and enhance service delivery across all MMDAs.
“This league table is not just about numbers, it is a call to action. It holds our local governments accountable and encourages continuous improvement,” Gladys Tetteh added.
