Grace Agyemang Asamoah with some traditional leaders holding some of the journals
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima Kwanwoma, Grace Agyemang Asamoah, has officially launched a quarterly District Achievements News Journal titled, “Atwima Kwanwoma In Focus” to showcase development projects and promote transparency and accountability in the district.
The launch which took place at the Conference Room of the District Assembly in Twedie was attended by traditional leaders, opinion leaders, politicians across the political divide, assembly members, heads of departments, development partners, religious leaders and members of the media.
In her address, the DCE described the journal as a documented record of the Assembly’s collective efforts, emphasising that it is not about celebrating an individual but about highlighting teamwork and shared responsibility in advancing the district’s development agenda.
She outlined key achievements captured in the maiden edition, including the painting of the District Administration Block and the Trede Area Council to improve the working environment. The Assembly also erected billboards to publicise its services and installed boards displaying past and present District Chief Executives, Presiding Members and District Coordinating Directors to preserve institutional history.
On infrastructure, she mentioned the reshaping of major roads such as the Nwinsa–Nkwanta–Amoafo stretch, Kotwi Special Ice, Biragokrom, Asaago and Bekwaime–Kyekyewere roads to enhance accessibility and economic activities. The Ampabame No. 1 Bridge was also renovated to ensure safe movement.
In the health sector, construction of three CHPS compounds at Asaago, Nweneso No. 1 and Nweneso No. 3 has commenced to improve access to primary healthcare. In education, ongoing projects include a three-unit classroom block at New Ejuampong and a six-unit classroom block at Afasiebon Basic School, alongside support to other schools, including a GH¢5,000 donation to Adum-Afrancho School.
The DCE further disclosed that seven major refuse dump sites were evacuated and skip containers distributed to selected communities to improve sanitation, while streetlight bulbs were supplied to all 33 Electoral Areas. Sixteen mechanised boreholes were also constructed to provide potable water.
She also highlighted the commencement of the affordable housing project at Trede and plans for an educational complex through a partnership with US-based supporters.
Ms. Agyemang Asamoah, who has received both local and international recognition for her public service, said the awards reflect the collective efforts of the Assembly and the people of the district.
She thanked the Central Government, traditional authorities, assembly members, development partners and residents for their support.
