Amansie West District Inaugurates Manso Education & Development Fund

The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Amansie West in the Ashanti region, William Bediako Asante, on Friday officially inaugurated the Manso Education & Development Fund.

This is part of efforts to prioritize and boost education in the region as well as bringing development to the area.

The fund also falls in line with the DCE’s concept of ‘Girl Child Mentorship’ project meant to encourage young people, especially women to be educated to the highest level.

The fund would be managed by an 11-member Committee and chaired by Dr. Kofi Osei Afoakwa among other executive members.

The committee has been tasked by the Amansie West DCE to develop a framework for the fund to start running in no time.

The other members comprising the committee are Mr Akwasi Antwi Prempeh as the Secretary; Dr Stephen Baffour of the University of Education Winneba; Mr Michael Ampong, a Consultant; Mr Obeng Takyi also of the University of Education Winneba; Mr Kofi Owusu Duodoo; a former Educational Director and Miss Harriet Asante Mensah of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).

Others on board include the Chief of Manso Kwabenaso Nana Tabi Gyansah, the District Coordinating Director, district finance officer as well as the district educational director.

In a remark, Hon. Bediako Asante, was confident the fund which would be managed by his very committed and competent team would deliver nothing but the best.

“I am very confident that this solid team will deliver a well thought out plan for a long lasting fund that will yield the needed success we all expect.”
