Mehoso International Foundation Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Benarkuu, says the Social Audit Committee (SAC) in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region is improving the oversight of development projects to meet communities' needs.
Mehoso International Foundation CEO, Thomas Benarkuu, has highlighted the positive impact of the Social Audit Committee (SAC) in the Tano North Municipality, Ahafo Region. The committee, established in 2025, oversees development projects to ensure they meet community needs, as reported by the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) delegation during an inspection.
SAC has identified shortcomings in project implementation and led to corrective actions, particularly in health and educational infrastructure projects. Eleven such projects have been monitored, with eight already discussed. One notable success is Tanoso Presbyterian Basic School, where improved infrastructure has boosted enrollment from 20 to 65 students.
Benarkuu emphasized the importance of integrating SAC into municipal systems for sustainability and value for money. The initiative, funded by GIZ and others, aims to enhance citizen participation in local governance and improve governance and development outcomes.
