Gains from Resilience in Northern Ghana (RING) Project should be leverage into other programs – that is a suggestion from Salifu Saeed

Northern Regional Minister, Salifu Saeed has commended the Resilience in Northern Ghana (RING) Project for the significant results being recorded within the projects targeted communities across the region.

According to him, careful observations of RINGs activities in all the 17 selected MMDAs in the Northern, North East and Savanna Regions showed that the project had impacted positively on lives of the people.

Salifu Saeed gave the commendation at a short ceremony in Tamale where the RING Project handed over two Nissan pickup trucks to two districts assemblies; Gushegu in Northern and North Gonja in the Savanna region for RING’s project implementation on the ground.

The RING Project, in its final implementation stages is funded by USAID across 17 selected MMDAs under the US government’s feed the future programme; designed as government to government approach that specifically sends funds to the grassroots through the local assemblies who plan and implement their own developments.

Mr. Saeed in showing appreciation to the government and people of the America through USAID, suggested that the gains from the RING project should be leverage into other developmental interventions that were being rolled out by the government and its development partners.

Acting Office Director for Economic Growth at USAID-Ghana, James Lykos who handed over the two trucks to the regional minister, Salifu Saeed said although the RING project was coming to an end this year; the partnership between Ghana and USAID isn’t folding up yet, since USAID would be exploring more areas of mutual interests to the sides.
