Abstract:
The research was to find out the impact of the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) on the people in the Wasa Amenfi –East District.
The Wasa Amenfi – East District Assembly (WAEDA) was selected for the study. The population constituted a total of sixty (60) purposively selected stakeholders made up of District Heads of Department, Assembly members and District Assembly staff. Data were obtained from the stakeholders mentioned above through the administration of questionnaire. The study was guided by four (4) research questions. Percentages and tables were used in the data analysis.
The findings were that, the impact of development on the people in the district does not come from the use of the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) alone but there are other inflows such as District Development Facility, HIPC Fund, Internally generated Fund (IGF), MPs common Fund among others.
