The Minister of Special Development Initiatives, Hon. Ms. Mavis Hawa Koomson, yesterday, August 6, began a working visit to the regions that fall under the Middle Belt Development Authority.
The Minister is expected to visit the Brong Ahafo, Ashanti and Eastern Regions during this working visit.
This visit will afford the Minister an opportunity to access at first hand, the progress of some special development initiatives, initiated by the Ministry under the Middle Belt Development Authority.
The Ministry under the One-Constituency, $1- million policy has already started some projects in terms of the provision of water and toilet facilities in some constituencies.
Under the drive of the developmental authorities, the Ministry has already begun the construction of 1,000 limited community mechanised water systems with solar pumps and 1,000 10-seater community institutional water closet bio-digester toilets with mechanised boreholes in all the 275 constituencies.
These projects are in addition to the 570 small dams and dug outs that have also started in the three (3) Northern Regions under the One Village, One Dam initiative under the supervision of the Northern Development Authority.
These ongoing projects are in line with President Akufo Addo’s aggressive pursuance of policies that are targeted at upgrading and improving infrastructure, and/or on developing new facilities especially in rural and deprived communities aimed at bettering the quality of lives and improving the living conditions of the populace.
