The people of Amenfi Central District are witnessing what many describe as a new era of purposeful leadership and tangible development. Across towns and villages, the impact of coordinated governance is evident — from the steady hum of construction at school sites to the reassuring presence of new health and security facilities rising from the ground.
At the heart of this transformation are the Member of Parliament, Joana Gyan Cudjoe, and the District Chief Executive, Peter Amponsah. Their collaborative approach to governance has ignited optimism among residents who say they are finally seeing promises translated into projects.
Health Infrastructure Expanding Access
Access to quality healthcare is steadily improving across the district. Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds at Hiawa, Ankasie, Jedua Kesse and Adidaase are at various stages of completion, with roofing, structural works and finishing touches progressing steadily.
At Manso Amenfi, the maternity facility under construction is expected to significantly ease the burden on expectant mothers who previously had to travel long distances for safe delivery services. When completed, these facilities will not only provide essential medical care but also create employment opportunities for health professionals and support staff within the district.
Residents say the expansion of health infrastructure represents more than buildings — it symbolizes security for mothers, children and families who now anticipate improved emergency response and preventive care services.
Education: Building Foundations for the Future
Education remains central to the district’s development strategy. Several school projects are ongoing in communities including Kramokrom, Atta ne Atta, Bonsie, Bantoma, Agona Camp, Wuratrem, Ankasie, Takyikrom Sompre KG and Sompre JHS.
New classroom blocks and foundations are being laid to address congestion and improve teaching and learning conditions. In many of these communities, children previously studied under trees or in deteriorating structures. The new facilities promise safer, more conducive environments for academic growth.
Stakeholders believe these investments align with the broader national education agenda championed by former President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which emphasizes equitable access to quality education as a pathway to long-term national development.
Strengthening Security and Stability
Security infrastructure is also receiving significant attention. Construction of police stations at Sraha Ayiem and Achichire is ongoing, a move residents say will enhance law enforcement presence and response time in the area.
Community leaders note that strengthened security systems are crucial for attracting investment, protecting businesses and ensuring social stability. The establishment of these police facilities is expected to bolster public confidence and reinforce peace within the district.
Water and Roads: Improving Daily Life
Access to clean water has improved with the installation and activation of boreholes and water systems across several communities. These projects are already easing the burden on women and children who previously walked long distances in search of potable water.
Meanwhile, reshaping and rehabilitation of roads are making transportation smoother and safer. Heavy machinery, fuel and logistical support provided through the MP’s office have facilitated ongoing roadworks, improving access to farms, markets and essential services. The improved road network is also generating temporary employment for local youth engaged in the projects.
A Shared Vision for Progress
Observers attribute the pace of development to unity between the district’s political and administrative leadership. By aligning district priorities with the national development vision, the MP and DCE have fostered a coordinated approach that seeks to leave no community behind.
For many residents of Amenfi Central, these projects represent more than infrastructure; they are symbols of accountability, partnership and renewed hope. As construction continues and facilities near completion, expectations remain high that the district will sustain this momentum and deepen the gains already made.
Indeed, the transformation unfolding in Amenfi Central underscores a broader narrative — that when leadership, resources and community commitment converge, meaningful development becomes not just a promise, but a lived reality.
