| Summary: | This document reports on the findings
from the first Consultative Citizens' Report Card
exercise undertaken in the City of Accra, Ghana. The work
began in late 2009 and continues in 2010 with the
dissemination of the findings to, and consultations with,
City residents. The Citizens' Report Card was
undertaken by the World Bank with the full support and
engagement of the Mayor's office, Accra Metropolitan
Authority, Ghana. The Citizens' Report Card involved a
large-scale household survey which was designed to be
statistically representative to the sub-metropolitan level.
It incorporated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and
Google mapping which significantly aided fielding of the
survey and which helps give a spatial dimension to the
findings. The survey gathered information from City
residents about the coverage and quality of seven core urban
services, and also gathered perception-based information on
residents' views of the efficiency and effectiveness of
City officials, on the accessibility and effectiveness of
local political representatives, and on residents'
views of their quality of life and standard of living. The
findings from the Citizens' Report Card are being used
by the Mayor's office, City of Accra, to inform policy
on urban service coverage and quality. |
