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.
