In this chapter, we conceptualise an ideal
framework that captures three reinforcing levers for measuring local government
performance in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically Ghana, namely policy
pronouncement, political processes and internal operations, and policy
implementation.
Given data limitations we employ a ‘next
best’ approach to apply this framework and measure local government performance
by combining a weighted ‘quality of reporting’ measure with selected available
measures on political processes and internal operations, and policy
implementation, so as to construct a composite index for local government
performance (LGI).
We also look at the relationship between
our performance indices and other indices of local government performance in
Ghana, as well as poverty headcounts. We find that, on average, urban districts
perform better than their rural counterparts and also districts located in the
southern half of Ghana perform better.
Our constructed composite index is
positively correlated with indices from Ghana’s district league tables. It has
a negative relationship with poverty headcount in districts, indicating that
districts with lower poverty incidence are more effective and responsive to
their citizens.
