GARID Working Session on Geo- Enabling Monitoring tools (GEMS) Asset Register Template Held
The Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development (MLGDRD) has held a training session for Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and Management Information System (MIS) Officers under the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID) on the Geo- Enabling Monitoring tools (GEMS) Asset Register Template.
The training is to help build capacity for the MMDAs to make decisions on the necessary information to feed the Geo-Spatial Management Platform at the Assembly level.
The training session took place on the 24th May, 2024 at the Ministry’s conference room as a follow-up on a meeting which took place in December 2023 in Koforidua.
A team member from the GARID project, Bernard Makafui leading the training session stated that, the platform is to help facilitate easy access to the Geo-Spatial Management Platform.
He added that, once the assignment on the permanent software was done it will be ready for deployment and use in all MMDAs. He reiterated that; this was only a trial session for the participants to be abreast with the system.
On his part, Mr. Eli Kuadey, Principal Planning Officer at the MLGDRD, expressed his profound gratitude to the participants present. He noted that, the training was very relevant for the performance output for all 29 MMDAs.
He encouraged participants to push this new initiative and adapt as they are the first batch of trainees for the new platform.
