groupings   are   aware   of   the   various   conventions   and   treaties   that   the   Ghana   government   has   endorsed.  For  example,  women  groups  are  well  informed  about  the  ratification  of  the  CEDAW.   6.1.3   Poor  Data  Storage  by  MDAs   Data   storage   in   the   MDAs   and   in   the   public   sector   in   general   has   not   been   satisfactory.   Poor   data  storage  in  the  public  sector  has  been  partially  attributed  to  the  delay  in  the  passage  of  the   Freedom  to  Information  Bill.  Government  is  addressing  the  problem  through  the  public  sector   reform   strategy   and   the   Ghana   ICT   for   Accelerated   Development   (ICT4AD)   Policy   to   improve   data  storage,  sharing  and  online  communication.     6.1.4   Use  of  Previous  Evaluation  Reports     The   benefits   of   learning   from   previous   mistakes   will   forever   be   lost   and   the   country   risks   of   repeating   the   same   errors   in   its   development   efforts   if   evaluation   and   research   reports   are   left   to   gather   dust   on   the   shelves.   The   NDPC   tries   to   rectify   this   problem   by   preparing   and   distributing  its  annual  progress  reports  which  essentially  recaps  progress  made  in  the  previous   year,   and   assesses   the   extent   to   which   the   country   is   achieving   its   set   objectives   and   targets   under  the  GPRS  II.     In  addition,  the  Bank  of  Ghana  provides  the  needed  information  through  its  Quarterly  Economic   Bulletin   for   the   Monetary   Policy   Committee   and   the   business   community   to   take   key   decisions.   Decisions   by   the   Monetary   Policy   Committee   are   also   announced   immediately   after   their   quarterly  meetings  and  reported  in  both  the  print  and  electronic  media.  In  addition,  the  annual   budget   carries   a   comprehensive   review   of   achievement   and   shortfalls   of   the   previous   year’s   budget.             130
