The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has deepened its commitment to sustainable urban development with a stakeholder consultative meeting on the Ghana Smart Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Cities Programme aimed at creating awareness about SDGs, promoting peace and leaving no one behind.
The meetings, held at the Ashiedu Keteke, Okaikoi South, and Ablekuma South Sub-Metropolitan Districts, respectively, formed part of the Assembly’s mandate to localise and implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through data-driven planning, inclusive governance, effective service delivery, climate resilience, community participation, and smart infrastructure development.
The engagement focused on discussions around Ghana’s Smart SDG targets and indicators and the need for stakeholder involvement to ensure broad-based support and effective implementation of the programme.
Addressing participants, the Director of Budget at the AMA, Mr. Noble Atsu Ahadzie , explained that Accra was among ten cities nationwide selected for the programme, which was supported by the Government of Ghana, the Government of Norway, and UN-Habitat.
