NDPC, ISODEC discuss research initiative to address inequalities in Northern Ghana
The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) has held discussions with the Integrated Social Development Centre (ISODEC) on a proposed annual research and survey programme aimed at tracking inequalities across Northern Ghana to support evidence-based policymaking.
The meeting, held on Tuesday, July 14, focused on a locally led initiative that seeks to generate data on the nature, causes and changing patterns of inequality within the country's northern zones to inform development planning and policy formulation.
Executive Director of ISODEC, Sam Salifu Danse, said the initiative was conceived to address gaps in research on regional inequalities and provide continuous evidence to deepen understanding of the factors driving disparities between Northern and Southern Ghana.
