The programme on the theme: “20 years of fighting hunger together,” was also to examine the impact of the organisation’s activities on the livelihood of beneficiary communities, whereas showcasing the activities of Actionaid in the Greater Accra Region in particular and the country as a whole.
The participants from collaborating agencies such as the Ghana Education Service, beneficiary communities, traditional rulers, as well as officials from the Ga East, Ga West and Ga South assemblies attended the one-day forum.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Programme Manager of the Grater Accra Development Programmes, Mr Kwasi Ohemeng-Agyei, said poverty eradication had been the fore liner in the organisation’s campaign due to its severity in the region.
