Mr. Attoh added that DANIDA has also facilitated a number of training programmes for various categories of staff of the District Water and Sanitation team, the Works department and the Budget and Planning Unit.

He assured the people that the assembly is well focused to ensure that the roles and responsibilities outlined within the general framework of the Community Water and Sanitation Programme (CWSP) is effectively carried out to meet its targets.

Mr. Nortey Yeboah, the Presiding Member of the assembly who chaired the function commended the people of the three communities for their self-help spirit and urged them to keep it up.

He assured them that the assembly was prepared to support communities who initiate their own projects and urged them to patronize the on-going voters' registration exercise.
