The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) General Assembly has approved a revised 2026 budget, increasing the Assembly’s revenue and expenditure projections by about GH¢34.65 million.
The revised budget represents a 26.76 per cent increase over the original 2026 budget and is intended to strengthen revenue mobilisation while providing additional funding for programmes and infrastructure projects during the second half of the year.
The mid-year budget review was presented to the General Assembly on Thursday, August 13, 2026, by the Metro Director of Budget, Mr Noble Atsu Ahadzie, on behalf of the Metropolitan Chief Executive.
The review forms part of the Assembly’s statutory assessment of its revenue performance, expenditure, programmes and projects for the year.
Mr Ahadzie explained that the exercise was undertaken in accordance with Sections 28(1) and 35(1) of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), which provide for the review of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies’ budgets and supplementary provisions where existing allocations are inadequate or expenditure items were not captured in the original budget.
He said the review was aimed at assessing the Assembly’s financial performance, improving the efficiency of revenue mobilisation and resource utilisation, and supporting informed management decisions.
According to him, the revised budget would also provide the necessary technical guidance for the effective implementation of the Assembly’s programmes and projects during the remaining months of 2026.
The upward revision comes as the AMA seeks to enhance its Internally Generated Fund (IGF) mobilisation and deploy additional resources towards development initiatives across the metropolis.
