Although the Fanteakwa district in the Eastern region has been provided with some of the basic amenities such as good drinking water, school buildings, decent public places of convenience and roads by previous governments, some of the communities still lacked such amenities.

It is in this light that after taking office, the District Chief Executive(DCE), Mr Abass Fuseini Sbaabe, has taken steps to make such facilities, especially good roads available to communities which
do not have roads.

He has also come out with a plan to improve the tourist facilities to attract tourists, especially foreigners to rake in the necessary revenue to support development projects.

According to Mr Fuseini Sbaabe, the construction and rehabilitation of roads is being given priority since the bad nature of the roads constitutes 60 per cent of districts problems.

Some of the roads to be rehabilitated are the seven kilometre Ahumanhumanso-Bomoden road, Dadeso-Akumerso-Amotare roads, the 3.15 kilometre Busoso -Kplade road, the nine kilometre  Asare
Kwao-Miaso road and the reconditioning of a two-kilometre road with bitumen surface at Begoro, the district capital where the durbar grounds is also being paved at a cost of GHC 50,000 to befit its
status.

A grader has also been procured by the district assembly at a cost of GHC 230 to periodically rehabilitate the feeder roads.

While the rehabilitation of some of the roads are being funded bu the assembly, others are being funded by the government and donor agencies such as Danish Development Agency (DANIDA) and the Japanese government.
