The Member of Parliament for Weija-Gbawe Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Jerry Ahmed Shiab, has represented the Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, at the launch of the District-Level Multidimensional Poverty and Ranking Publication by the Ghana Statistical Service.

The event, which brought together policymakers, development partners, and state institutions, focused on new data highlighting the varying levels of poverty across districts in Ghana and the need for targeted interventions to address disparities.

The report presents critical insights into living conditions in many communities across the country, underscoring the urgency for responsive leadership and inclusive policy measures aimed at reducing inequality and improving livelihoods.

Speaking at the launch on behalf of the Minority Leader, Mr. Shiab emphasized the importance of evidence-based policymaking in tackling poverty and driving sustainable development.

He noted that the findings reinforce the need for stronger social interventions, youth-focused job creation, and equitable distribution of national resources to ensure that no district is left behind.

According to him, policymakers must remain committed to advocating for reforms that promote inclusive economic growth and expand opportunities for vulnerable populations across the country.
