Internally Generated Fund Mobilization Practices in Twifo Ati-morkwa Distict Assembly

Abstract

ABSTRACT The study seeks to analyse internally generated fund mobilization practices for the Twifo Ati-Morkwa District Assembly by assessing the factors that impede revenue mobilization, the strategies adopted, and determine the impact of the Internally Generated Fund on the development projects. The census method was employed which was made up of the entire population made up of seventy-six employees. Questionnaires are used in collecting data from respondents. Data are analysed using descriptive analysis, and the results are presented in the form of figures and tables. The study reveals that; lack of logistics, inadequate revenue collectors, ineffective monitoring, inadequate motivation of revenue collectors and inadequate training for revenue collectors were some factors impeding revenue mobilisation. To increase revenue mobilization of the Assembly, the study discovers that there should be continuous education of the taxpaying public, prosecution of defaulters and training for revenue collectors. Lastly, it also reveals that though the internally generated fund of the Assembly contributes to the district‟s development, it is not enough to fund projects significantly. It was recommended that there should be a general fundraising training program where fundraisers can be trained in order to raise funds
