The district league table is out and do you care to know where your district was placed out the 216 districts in Ghana? The District League Table (DLT), produced by UNICEF Ghana and CDD Ghana, is a simple ranking tool of the level of development in each of Ghana�s 216 Districts. Instead of rating Districts by administrative compliance, it ranks them in terms of their delivery in six key sectors: health, education, sanitation, water, security and governance. What is the DLT�s objective? The DLT aims to increase social accountability for development across Ghana�s 216 Districts so as to improve state responsiveness in service delivery. It aims to support Government in better understanding and monitoring development across the country,and to support citizen�s access to information and knowledge on rights on development in their Districts. The results of the District League Table are shown below. There is a wide range of development levels between Ghana�s Districts and across the regions. The top District, Tano South in Brong Ahafo Region, has a development level 5 times better than the most deprived District in 216th place, Karaga in Northern Region. Compared to the average score of 58%, 95 Districts are below this level. Among the top Districts, the Ashanti region figures most prominently. Amongst the bottom Districts, Volta and Northern regions stand out. Below is the table
