The Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly in Ghana is organizing a stakeholder engagement event to discuss development challenges confronting the municipality. The event, scheduled for September 29 at 9:00 a.m. at the Best Western Premier Hotel, aims to bring together residents from middle- and upper-income communities, businesses, and other stakeholders. According to Municipal Chief Executive Michael Mensah, the engagement is intended to complement the Assembly's existing engagements across the municipality's 13 electoral areas.
Mr. Mensah noted that while the Assembly had engaged communities across the electoral areas, participation from middle- and upper-income groups had been limited. He said the upcoming meeting is designed to provide a platform for such groups, particularly businesses, to directly engage the Assembly on issues affecting them. The MCE has already engaged all 13 electoral areas, but wants to involve middle- and upper-income groups in the discussion.
The engagement is not intended as an accountability session but rather an opportunity for stakeholders to share their concerns and work with the Assembly towards practical solutions. Mr. Mensah emphasized that the meeting will allow stakeholders to share their concerns and tell the Assembly how best to handle the challenges. The Assembly has sent invitation cards to prospective participants and followed up with them, with stakeholders indicating their readiness to attend.
Businesses will also be part of the engagement, which is a departure from the Assembly's usual consultations. Mr. Mensah said that direct consultations with these groups are not usually held, but are necessary to address the challenges facing the municipality. The event will provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss and find solutions to the development challenges confronting the municipality.
The Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly has been actively engaging with residents across the municipality, but wants to ensure that all groups are involved in the discussion. The stakeholder engagement event is a key step in this process, and will help to identify practical solutions to the challenges facing the municipality. The event will also provide an opportunity for stakeholders to work together with the Assembly.
According to Mr. Mensah, the Assembly is committed to working with stakeholders to address the development challenges confronting the municipality. The stakeholder engagement event is part of this effort, and will help to ensure that all groups are involved in the discussion. The event will also provide a platform for stakeholders to share their concerns and work with the Assembly towards practical solutions.
The stakeholder engagement event is scheduled for September 29 at 9:00 a.m. at the Best Western Premier Hotel.
