The former Minister of Local Government and Rural Develop­ment, Professor Kwamena Ahwoi, has proposed 15 programmes of action to help improve the country's decentralisation and local governance system.

He classified the 15 pro­grammes of action under political decentralisation, administrative decentralisation, decentralised planning, fiscal decentralisation, and popular participation.

Prof.

Ahwoi made the call on Thursday at an inaugural pub­lic lecture, dubbed; 'Professor Kwamena Ahwoi Annual Lecture,' organised by the Chamber for Local Governance (ChaLoG), an independent think tank, in Accra.
