GIMPA To Help Alleviate Poverty In Bongo

Bongo (Upper East), 31 Oct., The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) is to equip policy makers in the Bongo district with the necessary knowledge and skills to implement the government's poverty alleviation programme. To this end, training courses would be organised for front-line staff to enable them to assess the needs of the communities. Dr. Lawrence Kannae of GIMPA, who announced this at a meeting with heads of decentralised departments and assembly members, said the programme would design policies that would sufficiently target sectors of the community for poverty alleviation. The project which is being sponsored by the UNDP would target women and children and it will involve infrastructure development. The poverty alleviation programme is a three-year pilot project being implemented in Dangbe west, the Accra Metropolitan area, Afram plains, Juabeso-bia and Bongo districts.
