The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has gifted 12 Nissan pickup vehicles to the Northern Regional Coordinating Council (NRCC) in Tamale to help provide “efficient and improved service” in the area.The vehicles were distributed to nine metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs) and three regional departments in the Northern Region of Ghana to improve service delivery to their citizens. USAID/Ghana Mission Director Andrew Karas handed over the vehicles on behalf of the U.S. government.“These vehicles will enable local governments to provide more efficient and improved services to even their most vulnerable and remote citizens,” Karas said at the handover on January 8.“I strongly believe that through our partnerships, we can foster healthier, more resilient communities and together build a stronger Ghana.”The donation was made possible by the $60 million USAID Resiliency in Northern Ghana (RING) project, which is part of the U.S. government’s Feed the Future and Global Health Initiatives. The project works to improve the livelihoods and nutrition of the most at-risk households in the Northern Region, with an emphasis on women of child-bearing age and children under five. RING’s main goals are to achieve a 20 percent decrease in stunting of children under five years old and to double the incomes of targeted vulnerable households in the North. The 12 vehicles were distributed to the Tamale Metropolitan, Savelugu, Central Gonja, Saboba, East Mamprusi, Nanumba North, Nanumba South, Tolon, and West Gonja MMDAs and the Northern Region Health Directorate, Northern Region Environmental Health Unit, and the Northern Region Department of Social Welfare.
