District Chief Executive, Bismark B. Nkum who disclosed this to assembly members at a meeting said the Project focuses on building a web and GIS based database of all development interventions (both service delivery and infrastructural) that could be accessed by members of Parliament for informed decision making.

It is to be funded under the Ghana Institutional Support Project (GISP) by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and aimed at facilitating monitoring of development projects and activities across the country as part of the oversight functions of the parliament.

He noted that the district especially stands to greatly benefit from this project as a comprehensive and well developed web and GIS-based database is an effective tool to lobby critical investment into the district.

To this end, he disclosed that the district is benefiting from a heavy duty three-in-one (3 in 1) Photocopier (with Scanner and Printer), a desk top, a laptop computer, two (2) GPS devices and a UPS.

Additionally, the District Planning Officer and the Head of Work have been trained on the project. The Consultants for the project, Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services (CERSGIS) would provide technical backstopping for the district.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is therefore to be signed between the Assembly and the project and a GIS Desk would be setup to manage the project, he stated.
