Knowing Ghana: An eye on Volta region under Mahama

As Ghana inches close to election 2016, the debate over how well the various regions have been developed under the Mahama-led administration has begun in earnest.

While the government insists that it has fairly distributed the national resources and brought development to the people, the various opposition parties have challenged the NDC government to show proof of actual delivery beyond the political rhetoric.

The Volta region, largely considered as the political 'world bank' of the ruling party, has often come up as a benchmark in measuring the infrastructural performance of the NDC.

However, a visit by the ‘Knowing Ghana’ project team to the Volta region registered massive developmental projects that have sprung up in the region between 2009 and 2016.

If you are a resident but have been out of the region for long, you might just miss your way back as projects appear to have dramatically changed the communities over the last few years.
