Kpassa (O/R), Nov 14, GNA – The Nkwanta North District Assembly has distributed economic support items to 101 Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) as part of efforts to promote their economic empowerment, and social inclusion.
Mr Isaiah Kudjoe Dordoe, the District Chief Executive (DCE), said the initiative formed part of the government’s commitment under President John Dramani Mahama’s Reset Agenda to create sustainable livelihood opportunities for vulnerable groups, particularly persons with disabilities.
He urged the beneficiaries to put the items to productive use to improve their livelihoods and strengthen their economic independence.
Mr. Samuel Gyamena, the District Coordinating Director, cautioned the beneficiaries against selling the items, stressing that the support was intended to serve as a means of livelihood improvement.
