Prampram, Nov. 12, GNA — The Ningo-Prampram District Assembly (NiPDA) has approved its 2027 Annual Composite Budget and Annual Action Plan to guide the district’s development activities and resource allocation for the coming year.
The approval was made at the assembly’s final General Assembly meeting for the year, which brought together elected and appointed assembly members, heads of departments and technical officers.
The approved plans and budget would provide the framework for implementing the assembly’s development priorities in 2027.
Mr Raphael Uriel Nartey, Ningo-Prampram District Chief Executive (DCE), presented the Executive Committee Report, outlining recommendations and interventions covering education, peace and security, agriculture, employment, healthcare, sanitation, infrastructure, social protection and environmental management.
Among the development priorities considered for 2027 were the construction and renovation of classroom blocks, provision of furniture for teachers and pupils, and the construction and refurbishment of Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds.
Members also considered proposals for a 24-hour economy market, District Police Headquarters, road reshaping, and the provision of other social amenities.
Mr Ebenezer Addo Narh, the Presiding Member, urged assembly members to ensure that decisions taken translated into tangible improvements in the lives of residents.
He said the assembly should focus on practical development outcomes and urged members to conduct their deliberations with unity, objectivity, decorum, and accountability.
The meeting also considered and approved the Draft 2027 Annual Action Plan, Revenue Improvement Action Plan, Executive Committee Report and recommendations, Public Relations and Complaints Committee Report, and reports from the Afienya, Prampram, Ningo and Dawa Area Councils.
On revenue mobilisation, members discussed strategies to broaden the assembly’s revenue base, strengthen collection mechanisms, reduce revenue leakages, and improve compliance to support the implementation of its development programmes.
The reports from the four Area Councils and the Public Relations and Complaints Committee also provided feedback on community concerns, local development priorities, and the implementation of previous assembly decisions.
