The project is being implemented by Democracy International (DI) in collaboration with the Government of Ghana partners and local Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) including Global Action for Women Empowerment (GLOWA) and the African Disability Institute (ADI).
The project will equip service providers to be more responsive to citizens’ demand for quality essentials services, particularly in basic education, health, water and sanitation, agriculture, and fisheries.
The PAA operates across 70 districts spanning 10 regions in the country with the aim to empower citizens to demand responsive services delivery. The PAA also aimed to strengthen government management of policy implementation for efficient service and ensure local public service providers adhere to quality standards.
The Municipal Coordinating Director, Frederick Akitty, assured that the Assembly would support the implementation of the activity to transform the lives of the people and improve their living conditions.
