    Abstract:

    Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) as part of its responsibilities of managing projects being financed by the Millennium Challenge Account facility, embarked on a GPS data capturing exercise for the development of a GIS database. This database was to be used to develop a monitoring and evaluation application for such purpose as monitoring project status and aiding top management make strategic and more informed decision.

    This dataset is the result of one of such GPS data capturing exercise. Only irrigation sites within districts of interest were captured. This data capturing exercise was done in two phases for selected regions in almost all the regions of Ghana.

     

    Purpose:

    The purpose for which this dataset was created was solely for the purpose of internal monitoring of projects by MiDA officials who had such responsibility. Attributes and relevant information captured is for monitoring and evaluation and may or may not serve the larger interests of stakeholders who which to make use of this dataset.
