2024 High-Level Political Forum: Hon Vincent Assafuah (Deputy Minister for Local Government) Writes…
Yesterday, I had the honor of representing Ghana at the 2024 High-Level Political Forum’s side event on “Strengthening Partnerships at the Local Level for Effective Service Delivery: VLR as a Tool for Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development.” The discussions were insightful and focused on the pivotal role of Voluntary Local Reviews in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals and promoting sustainable growth.
In my closing remarks, I underscored the importance of robust local partnerships and the implementation of VLRs as essential tools for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. As President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo emphasized, “We must do everything within our power to achieve the goals and save our people from the indignity associated with poverty and underdevelopment.”
It was a proud moment to highlight Ghana’s unwavering commitment and tangible progress in integrating local initiatives with global objectives. By fostering strong partnerships and leveraging the power of VLRs, we can transform our communities and create a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
