First of its kind LED policy launched in Ghana
03 September 2015
Ghana has launched the National Local Economic Development (LED) Policy, the first of its kind in the West African region with the help of CLGF and the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, Ghana. Building on CLGF’s West Africa members meeting in Abuja last year, CLGF’s West Africa office has hosted various capacity assessments and LED training workshops in councils including the Ayensuano eastern region on 4-25 August and Nadowli, Kaleo district assembly on 1-4 September. The trainings are being rolled out in three pilot projects on enterprise and skills development in the country as part of CLGF’s DFID-funded programme in the region to strengthen local government.
