Promoting Revenue Management and Utilization for Development in Dormaa Central Municipality
The “Local FM–Civil Society Organization Promoting Revenue Management and its Utilization for Development” project was a 14-month social accountability initiative jointly implemented by GLOMEF Ghana and GIFTS FM, a local radio station in Dormaa Central Municipality. Funded by STAR-Ghana with support from USAID, EU, Danida, and UKaid, the project ran from October 2013 to December 2014. The primary objective was to enhance transparency, accountability, and civic engagement in the management and utilization of internally generated funds (IGF) and the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF). By creating platforms for dialogue between citizens, duty-bearers, and local authorities - particularly through radio programming, public forums, and community outreach - the project empowered residents to participate meaningfully in local development planning and monitoring. The intervention led to increased public awareness of revenue inflows and expenditures, improved responsiveness of local authorities, and strengthened the capacity of civil society actors and the media to hold duty-bearers accountable for efficient and equitable resource allocation
