The government has committed resources to physical projects in three regions to provide the infrastructural foundation for the administration of the areas.
The Western North, Bono East and Ahafo regions are currently benefiting from the construction of new administration blocks to provide conducive office spaces for the various regional coordinating councils (RCCs), and the education, health and agriculture directorates in the three regional capitals.
The projects - which also include the construction of court buildings, structures that will serve as police commands, and staff bungalows for various categories of public sector workers- are being funded by the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF).
