Background

The Ningo-Prampram district was carved out of the then Dangme West district into Shai Osudoku and Ningo-Prampram districts by the LI 2132 in 2012 and the Local Government Act of 1993(Act 462). The Local Government Act of 1993, (ACT 462) and the National Development Planning System Act of 1994 (ACT 480) designate the District Assembly as the Planning Authority with the mandate to plan, initiate and implement development programmes at the local level. With the decentralized system of development, the Assembly as the planning authority is expected to initiate and coordinate the processes of planning, programming, budgeting and implementation of district plans, programmes and projects including integration of population policies and issues, as they pertain to the needs of particular districts and communities.
