The 5th Annual Performance Assessment (APA) Orientation under the Ghana Secondary Cities Support Programme (GSCSP) has taken place, bringing together representatives from 35 Municipal Assemblies across the country.
The orientation, aimed at equipping the Assemblies with the necessary knowledge and tools, focused on preparing them to meet the required disbursement-linked indicators essential for the release of funds under the programme.
The APA, which marks the final assessment under the GSCSP, is a critical step in ensuring that the Assemblies are well-prepared to access funds for vital developmental projects within their municipalities.
Speaking at the opening of the orientation, the Minister for Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, Hon. Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, urged the Assemblies to maximize this opportunity to learn and understand all the requirements thoroughly.
Hon. Korsah emphasized the importance of the Assemblies' commitment to fulfilling the disbursement-linked indicators, which are key to unlocking the necessary funding for socio-economic growth within their municipalities. He encouraged the Assemblies to work diligently towards meeting these indicators, ensuring they can fully access the funds available for the benefit of their communities.
The orientation marks a significant landmark in the ongoing efforts to support and develop secondary cities across Ghana, contributing to the broader goal of enhancing socio-economic development and improving the quality of life for residents in these municipalities.
