CONFAB ON CLIMATE CHANGE (PAGE 23, DEC 19)

Nineteen Regional Directors of the German Development Service (DED) who participated in the conference on climate change visited the Western and the Central regions as part of a familiarisation tour to assess the technical support that would be needed to combat it.
The delegation visited the Takoradi harbour and the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Municipal Assembly.
The Central Regional Minister, Mrs Ama Benyiwa-Doe, welcoming the delegation recalled the close co-operation between Ghana and Germany and the immense contribution of the German Government to Ghana’s economic development.
She said Ghana continued to benefit from programmes of the DED through its technical support agencies such as building the capacity of district assemblies including some in the Central Region which benefited.
She expressed the support of the Regional Co-ordinating Council towards the realisation of the objectives of the DED’s programmes.
The DED Representative in Ghana, Mrs Anet Turmann, said the DED was providing technical support for assemblies in the 10 regions throughout the country.
She said currently the DED was supporting the KEEA Municipal and the Twifo-Hemang-Lower Denkyira District Assemblies to build the capacity of their local governments and traditional authorities in the two districts.
