MMDAs to receive second-quarter DACF transfers this week

Mr Yamson said stronger local revenue mobilisation formed part of proposals to transform Ghana’s decentralisation system and reduce assemblies’ dependence on central government transfers.

Mr Yamson also urged assemblies to strengthen their internally generated funds (IGF), saying excessive dependence on DACF transfers could undermine sustainable local development.

Mr Yamson said the reforms were intended to make accountability an integral part of local governance and ensure that public resources translated into sustainable development.
