The Akufo-Addo led government has launched an accountability exercise, dubbed the Regional Townhall Meetings and Exhibition, to showcase its infrastructural development across the country and engage citizens in governance.
The first edition took place in the Greater Accra Region, with key government officials presenting updates on various projects and engaging directly with the public.
The exercise, themed “Regional Revitalization: Government’s Commitment to Growth, Development, and Prosperity,” aims to create a government that listens, responds, and acts in the best interest of its people.
The Ministry of Information will visit the remaining 15 regions in the next few weeks to further engage citizens and collate feedback on government projects and policies.
This grassroots approach aims to bridge the gap between the government and the people, ensuring that every citizen has a voice in the nation’s development.
By decentralizing communication and fostering open dialogue, the administration hopes to build a more inclusive and prosperous Ghana.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Titus Glover, at the Accra Fourm provided a comprehensive update on the developmental projects undertaken by the Akufo-Addo and Bawumia administration, highlighting achievements in the region and commitment to completing stalled projects.
The Minister for Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam also presented an in-depth analysis of the government’s economic interventions, showcasing measures to rebound the Ghanaian economy despite global challenges.
The event featured an exhibition center where all 29 districts within the Greater Accra Region showcased their respective projects and initiatives, providing a platform for local governments to highlight their contributions to regional development.
The meeting brought together a diverse audience, including government officials, youth groups, union representatives, and community leaders, fostering a collaborative environment for problem-solving and idea-sharing.
The discussions covered key sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure, and economic empowerment, with government appointees providing answers to pressing questions from journalists and the public.
Participants appreciated the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue with their leaders, and the initiative will culminate in a national forum where feedback and recommendations from all regions will be consolidated and presented to the government for implementation.
