WHAT IS THE MANDATE OF MSDI?
The Ministry is mandated to provide oversight and strategic policy direction for the implementation of IPEP across the 3 Development Zones.
WHAT IS IPEP?
IPEP is a NEW DEVELOPMENT APPROACH designed to help accelerate the eradication of poverty and inequalities manifesting itself in the country.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Under IPEP, each of the 275 constituencies have been allocated the cedi equivalent of US$1 million this year, to be invested in infrastructure development.
WHO IMPLEMENTS THE IPEP?
The main agencies for IPEP implementation are the Northern Development Authority (NDA), Middle Belt Development Authority (MDA), and Coastal Development Authority (CDA).
HOW WERE THE NEEDS OF THE CONSTITUENCIES IDENTIFIED?
The Ministry constituted a 10-member Regional Teams mainly to carry out infrastructure needs of every constituency.
The assessment helped the Ministry identify priority projects, in addition to Government priority projects to be implemented in each constituency.
WHY TOILETS?
