The Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has organized a town hall meeting in Ho, the Volta Regional capital, to engage citizens and gather their expectations for the new government.
Speaking to Adom News, Research Analyst at CDD-Ghana, Francisca Sarpong Owusu, stated that the meeting aimed to promote democracy, good governance, and inclusive development by providing valuable insights into the needs and priorities of Ghanaians.
She emphasized that such engagements help the government make informed decisions to address national challenges.
The forum particularly focused on marginalized groups, including women, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and opinion leaders, ensuring their voices are heard in governance.
Discussions covered key issues such as women’s participation in decision-making, economic empowerment, agriculture, education, anti-corruption efforts, constitutional review, and local governance.
Volta Regional Coordinating Director, Augustus Awiti, commended CDD-Ghana for the initiative, describing it as timely. He noted that with a new government in office, such engagements provide valuable stakeholder input, particularly from women, to guide policy decisions.
He urged CDD-Ghana to continue organizing similar programs in the Volta Region.
