The Akuapim South Municipal Assembly held a two-day workshop on Local Governance for Assembly Members on the 6th and 7th August 2026, aimed at deepening their understanding of their mandate, roles, responsibilities, local governance processes, and effective representation of their constituents.
The programme, facilitated by experts from the Institute of Local Government Studies (ILGS), was formally opened by the Municipal Chief Executive - Hon. Paul Osae Offei, who emphasized the importance of continuous capacity building in strengthening effective and responsive local governance.
The training provided an engaging platform for knowledge sharing, practical discussions, and clarification of key aspects of the Assembly Members’ responsibilities. Participants expressed enthusiasm throughout the sessions, particularly as the facilitators unpacked several areas of local governance and responsibilities that were previously less understood. The interactive nature of the workshop encouraged questions, reflection, and deeper appreciation of the important role Assembly Members play as representatives of their communities and partners in local development.
The initiative underscores the Assembly’s commitment to building the capacity of its elected representatives, strengthening accountability, and improving community-level leadership and service delivery. With better informed Assembly Members, the Assembly is positioned to foster stronger engagement with communities and contribute more effectively to the development of Akuapim South.
