Dr. Gameli Kewuribe Hoedoafia, the Executive Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCC), has urged District Coordinating Directors in Ghana to focus on delivering tangible results that improve the lives of people in their communities. Speaking at the 8th Annual General Meeting of the Association of District Coordinating Directors of Ghana (ASCOD), he emphasized that the success of decentralisation should be measured by the effectiveness of policy implementation at the local level, rather than by the creation of policies themselves.
He introduced the National Decentralisation Policy and Strategic Framework (NDPS) 2026–2030, which outlines six key areas for decentralisation: political, administrative, planning, fiscal, economic development, and popular participation and accountability. Dr. Hoedoafia stressed the importance of strong financial management, increased local revenue mobilisation, and leveraging technology such as the District Local Revenue (dLRev) software to enhance service delivery and local governance.
He called on Coordinating Directors to ensure that District Assemblies are not only adhering to administrative procedures but are actively delivering on their mandates through effective planning, coordination, and resource management, ultimately working towards a better quality of life for their citizens.
