Workshop held on decentralisation of public institutions

The Local Government Service Secretariat has held a one-day workshop in Accra on inter-service collaboration to ensure proper decentralisation of all public institutions in the regions and districts of the country.

Participants were drawn from various governmental agencies including the Environmental Health and Sanitation Directorate (EHSD) and Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA).

In a presentation on decentralisation, local government and the Local Government Service, the Head of the Local Government Secretariat, Dr Callistus Mahama, said the constitution had placed an injunction on all the various state agencies to collaborate towards effective service delivery at the national, regional and district levels.

He said in view of that,  the workshop was the first in a series of steps the secretariat  had lined up towards an eventual framework for collaboration at the local, regional and national levels.
