Hon. Katherine Lankono, DCE for Nadowli-Kaleo District

The District Chief Executive for Nadowli-Kaleo District in the Upper West Region, Hon. Katherine Lankono has revealed that her district has come alive after over thirty years of neglect.

Speaking to the press on Monday July 19 2023 during a tour on the European Union (E.U) feeder roads construction project in the Nadowli-Kaleo District, the government representative stated that, Nadowli-Kaleo District has never experienced such major roads networking for over thirty years of its creation and it is a major plus for the New Patriotic Party government and to his Excellency Nana Akufo Addo. 

Outlining the importance of the project to the district, Hon. Katherine Lankono established that, it is going to improve in the district's food security, since the project is geared towards networking several farming communities across the district.

She added that, the EU roads construction project will go a long way to also improve education, people's welfare in health, as well as improve in national security as these communities are linked to border towns.


Background

The EU-Ghana Agriculture Programme (EU-GAP) is the UE's largest programme in Ghana with €132million. The project is geared towards ensuring efficient agricultural practice and competitive agribusiness by constructing feeder roads in selected districts of the Upper West Region of which Nadowli-Kaleo District is included.

During the EU's visit to Upper West Region in May, 2023, the Deputy Head of Mission, Pieter Smidt Van Gelder noted that "the lack of efficient infrastructure is a major bottleneck to the development of agricultural production and processing. Our collective aim is to witness the transformative power these roads hold for the Upper West Region" - Official EU website reports.  

In Nadowli-Kaleo District, the road construction seeks to network communities such as Sombo, Nator-Duori, Nanville, Takpo, Kpaala, Saan through to Tagasie and Nadowli.
