What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Adansi Akrofoum (Ash), Oct. 11, GNA – Persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the Adansi Akrofoum, have commended the district assembly for showing greater transparency and fairness in the disbursement of the disability funds.

Scores of PWDs who spoke to the Ghana News Agency during the third disbursement of the fund at Akrofoum, said the Assembly had since 2018 been consistent in supporting people with disabilities to improve their livelihoods.

They were particularly pleased with the mode the items were procured, stressing that they were based on pressing needs of individual beneficiaries and not the wishes and assumptions of the Assembly.

By statute, three percent of the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF) quarterly released to Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) is earmarked for Persons With Disability.

The fund goes to support economic activities; educational and health expenses; support disability organisations and purchase assistive devices and aids for persons with disabilities.
