The purpose of the learning festival was to bring together members and leaders from diverse faiths to acquire knowledge and skills on how to lead their communities toward development, peace, and social cohesion.
A total of 27 participants from three communities took part in the festival.
Regional Coordinator of FIGA, Mustapha Kofi Abban, disclosed that the Western Regional Chapter is the 10th regional chapter to be established across the country.
He added that FIGA is currently working with several communities in the region, including the Ngyiresia Faith Alliance, Nchaban Nkwanta Faith Alliance, and the Ewusiejoe Faith Alliance.
