In regards to all these failed approaches, Damak Sanitation Health Watch Ghana in collaboration with the International Direct Project (IDP) from Switzerland adopted a new innovative technology using Digital Address system codes to determine the contributions/performance of the communities/Electoral Areas.
Additionally, our media reporters also help in monitoring the performance of the selected areas in the blind eye of Assembly Members and other selected institutions.
Mr. Daniel Mbabugri explained further that, the friendly nature of the system helps determine the percentage score mark of every Electoral Area from 1-100 (%). This, he said, will ensure transparency and guinueity in selecting winners not based on merit, but on their performance and contributions.
In 2023, 5 assembly members and 5 other organisations were given awards to that effect. However, the number has been increased from 10 to 16 who received awards following their contributions toward promoting a clean and safe environment in the Ashanti Region.
Addressing awardees, the Director of International Direct Project (IDP), Pierre P.
