Positive lessons should be learnt from the implementation of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority(SADA) to make the establishment of the Western Corridor Development Authority (WCDA) a success, participants at a stakeholders’ consultation workshop say.
They also want stakeholders especially Members of Parliament, traditional authorities, and the MMDAs, to accept and own the proposed WCDA.
The workshop, jointly organized by the Central Regional Coordinating Council (RCC), and the Office of the President, was attended by MPs from the Central Region, traditional rulers, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, Heads of Departments and a number of stakeholders.
The proposed WCDA is geared towards broadening the economic bases of the Western and Central regions.
Mr Akwasi Opong-Fosu, Minister of State at the Presidency, said initiatives such as SADA, the Western Corridor Development Authority and the Afram Plains Agric-Industrial Development Zone, were critical for the country’s growth agenda.
