  Ghana's Decentralization Policy has made significant contribution in
infrastructural implementation and delivery through Metropolitan, Municipal and

Communication Technology has been implemented through the Government Policy on
Information and Communications Technology for Accelerated Development as a
catalyst to facilitate the cross-sectoral participation in the implementation
of infrastructural development. Unfortunately, to date, the ICT4AD does not

Similarly, the development and monitoring of the physical infrastructure at the
local level continue to suffer several setbacks and it is currently clearly
evident that a refined system of best practices must be put in place to

the assessment of the challenges of e-governance in infrastructural development
at the local government level in Ghana. Using a mixed approach with purposive
sampling, data gathered from the MMDAs in Ashanti Region suggest that the
entire programme has been very slow; bedeviled with lack of funding and
