The Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Ahmed Ibrahim, has emphasised that achieving sustainable urban development in Ghana cannot rest solely on the shoulders of government, but rather requires a collective societal effort.
He made the remarks during the official launch of the Ghana Sustainable Cities Strategy (GSCS) in Accra on June 4, 2025, organized in collaboration with the World Bank.
The GSCS is a national policy framework designed to guide Ghana's urban transformation towards greener, more inclusive, resilient, and economically vibrant cities.
Under the theme "Towards Greener, Resilient, More Inclusive and Prosperous Urban Growth," the strategy aims to address the growing challenges of urbanization while unlocking the economic and social potential of urban spaces.
