Ms. Kpakpah used the occasion to formally welcome the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority (LUSPA) and announced that “last year, LUSPA was aligned with the Ministry and “I look forward to having a fruitful working collaboration” she emphasised.

A Deputy Minister of the Ministry, Hon. Osei Bonsu Amoah described the retreat as a priority intervention for the year.

This he said entails what has been done, what should be done, and costing of programmes to help achieve all policy directions, considerations, and interventions.

The Hon.  Minister for MLGDRD, Mr. Daniel Botwe in his brief remarks stressed on the need for directorates and for that matter staff of the Ministry to work collaboratively to ensure efficient and sustainable implementation of all activities and programmes that allow for the realisation of the mandate of the Ministry.

This he said will push the country forward in its quest to achieve sustainable development and the realization of the aspirations of the people down to the local levels.
