Volta monitoring team urges collaboration to ensure timely completion of development projects

The Volta Regional Development Projects Monitoring Team has called on contractors and relevant authorities to strengthen collaboration to ensure the timely completion of projects being financed through the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) and other institutional funding sources.

The Volta Regional Political Coordinator, Hon. Ben Abibu Siki, made the appeal during an inspection of an ongoing ultra-modern dining hall complex and kitchen at Tsito Senior High Technical School in the Ho West District.

The project, funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), began in February 2026 and is expected to be completed within 12 months.

When completed, the facility is expected to improve the school's dining and catering infrastructure and enhance the provision of meals to students.

The inspection provided an opportunity for the monitoring team to assess construction progress and emphasise the need for the contractor to comply with approved technical standards and meet the agreed completion timeline.

Hon. Siki urged the contractor and the relevant authorities to maintain effective cooperation throughout the implementation process, stressing that timely completion of the facility would contribute to students' welfare and improve the school's learning environment.

The team also visited the completed six-unit classroom block, together with its ancillary facilities, at Tsito Methodist Basic School in the same district.

The facility, financed through the District Assemblies Common Fund, was commenced in October 2025 and is expected to provide additional classroom space to improve teaching and learning conditions for pupils.

Although construction has been completed, the project was awaiting formal handover at the time of the inspection.

The monitoring team consequently urged the relevant authorities to expedite the handover process to allow the school to put the facility into use.

It stressed that completed educational infrastructure must be made available for its intended purpose without unnecessary delays, noting that additional classrooms create opportunities to expand access to education and provide children with a better learning environment.
