The government system in Ghana has central government institutions and its local government, which structures regions and districts (Metropolitan, Municipal and District). The Office of the Head of the Local Government Service (OHLGS) under the Office of the President has once developed operational manuals both of records management and fixed assets, however, they are not implemented in local government institutions. Many institutions do not completely store important records and update fixed assets registers periodically.
The 3rd phase assists deploying the unified implementation model of records management and of fixed assets management to all regions and model districts countrywide in collaboration with OHLGS, which model has completed developing in the 1st and the 2nd phase. The model consists of activities including a management workshop for district chief, a training of trainers for extension trainers in region and a training for model district.
