A civil society organisation based in the Upper East Region, RISE-Ghana, has urged local government officials to acknowledge the contributions of women, individuals with disabilities, and other marginalised groups in local governance activities.
It emphasized the importance of fostering inclusivity and elevating the voices of marginalised groups during a time when President John Dramani Mahama urged collective efforts to reflect on, assess, and realign the nation towards prosperity.
This was made known at a bi-annual grassroot regional networking and advocacy strategising meeting held in Bolgatanga of the Upper East on Tuesday.
The meeting formed part of the Heard Everywhere And Represented Daily (HEARD) project launched under the auspices of RISE-Ghana, with funding support from Norsaac.
