The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Ghana has today called on management of the Kadjebi District Assembly. The meeting was to formally introduce the Agency to management staff off the Assembly and to also formally announce their intention to start working in the district.
These were made known to management by the Country Director of ADRA Ghana, Dr. William Yaw K. Brown. He said Kadjebi was chosen because of its profile as a largely agrarian district. He added that they would look to work primarily with resettled groups such as refugees and also with some selected farmers especially those in the rice value chain. He continued that they may eventually set up a rice mill in the district based on volumes produced.
Welcoming the team on behalf of the District Chief Executive, who was out of the district together with the District Coordinating Director at the time of the visit, the District Planning Officer, Mr. Abdul-Baki Umar said he was happy to hear of the Agency’s desire to work in the district. He said the Assembly was prepared to help in anyway it could to ensure their entry was seamless and without any hitches. He asked that another meeting be scheduled where key management members such as the DCE, DCD and the director of the Department of Agriculture would be present.
The ADRA country Directory was accompanied by Mrs Anita Mills, apolicy analyst with ADRA Ghana and Mr. Seen Abborta, Project Coordinator for Oti and Volta Regions.
The District Assembly was represented by Mr. Abdul-Baki Umar, The Districts Planning Officer, Mr. Anthony Ankutse, Asiistant Director and Ms. Maria Anyigba Goretti, Ag. Head of the Business Advisory Centre.
