CSPS researchers, Dr. Kwadwo Opoku and Dr. George Domfe, presented a new formula for allocation of the District Assembly Common Fund to members of the Special Parliamentary Committee on Poverty Reduction. NDPC and UNICEF helped to organize this roundtable discussion on the District League Table and how it can be more effectively used to address the disparities among the districts. The meeting also provided an opportunity to examine the extent to which the existing District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) formula is able to address inequalities among the 261 Districts.
