Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson has urged for stronger partnerships between government, traditional authorities, the private sector, financial institutions, and development partners to advance sustainable development and job creation in the Western region. Recognizing that no single entity can tackle the region's challenges alone, Nelson emphasized the importance of collaboration in addressing unemployment, skills gaps, inadequate infrastructure, environmental degradation, and limited access to finance.
Speaking at the 2026 Axim Kundum Festival, Nelson described the theme of "Creating Partnerships for Sustainable Development and Jobs" as timely and strategic, urging stakeholders to move beyond cultural celebrations to a broader conversation on transforming the region's resources and relationships into sustainable economic opportunities, particularly for the youth.
