A consultative Committee is to be formed to champion the rapid socio-economic development of the Volta Region.
The Committee, to be chaired by the Regional Minister, would identify and collate all developmental challenges of the Region and devise measures to address them.
This was contained in a resolution adopted by stakeholders at a two-day forum in Ho on the theme: "A better Volta in a better Ghana."
According to the resolution, the Committee would liaise with Municipal and District Assemblies (MDAs) in the Region to have issues raised and recommendations made at the forum to be addressed by the MDAs in their development plans.
It said the Committee was also to ensure that development plans of the MDAs were within the national development framework as would be provided by the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) in order to sustain and ensure continuity of development efforts in the Region.
The stakeholders' forum under the auspices of the Regional Coordinating Council, attracted participants mostly people, who hail from
the region, and from all walks of life.
The forum discussed developmental issues such as education, road and transport, infrastructure, security, economy, health, water and sanitation, tourism and culture among other issues.
