The Country Director of SEND Ghana, a non-gov­ernmental organisation (NGO), Ms Harriet Nuamah Agyemang, has urged political par­ties to include in their manifestos effective policies that will readily address challenges impeding the country's social and economic growth. She also said that some existing social policies have failed to ad­dress the needs of the people and should be reconsidered. Ms Agyemang made the call in an interview with the Ghanaian Times on the sidelines of a Nation­al Level Dialogue on the Citizens Social Sector Manifesto for Elec­tion 2024, held in Accra. The dialogue, which was organised by SEND Ghana in partnership with Multimedia Group Limited, was to provide the platform for representatives of the two leading political parties, New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC), to share plans on how to address social issues as contained in their party manifestos. According to Ms Agyemang, a social policy like the National Health Insurance was a good move to improve the health of the citizens, however, there were inadequacies, which needed to be addressed to make it more useful.
