BONABOTO 11TH BIENNIAL NATIONAL DELEGATES CONGRESS COMMUNIQUÉ (28th – 29th DECEMBER, 2018)

We of BoNaBoTo (a non-partisan Civil Society Organization comprising people of Bolgatanga, Nangode, Bongo, and Tongo and their environs) of the Upper East Region, at our 11th National Biennial Congress, having deliberated extensively with key stakeholders on the theme: “Enhancing Integrated Community Development: the Role of BoNaBoTo”, and related matters do hereby issue this Communiqué: We extend our gratitude to the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for accepting and delegating the Upper East Regional Minister, Hon… to ably represent him at the congress. We call on the Members of Parliament of the BoNaBoTo area, Upper East Region and the Northern Caucus in Parliament to work together to address the challenges facing the area irrespective of their political affiliation. Recognizing that BoNaBoTo has a very important role to play in the development of the BoNaBoTo area in particular and the region as a whole, we do hereby resolve that: 1. Government should urgenly ensure the construction of the Bolgatanga Airport. We believe that Government is well informed of the territorial issues affecting the Paga Airstrip, yet the Bolgatanga Airport which is central in the Region without security or territorial issues in recent past has been abandoned with no concrete steps towards its completion . 2. Government should consider linking all the district capitals to the regional capital with tarred roads to facilitate the movement of goods and services since roads enhance integrated community development. We also appeal to the government to accelerate the construction/completion of the Bolgatanga-Tumu-Wa roads to link the two regional capitals.

3. Government should speed up the implementation of the 1D1F (a private venture policy) in the Upper East Region particularly in the BoNaBoTo area and if possible direct government intervention to facilitate job creation and livelihood security in the region. 4. Government should accelerate the approval of the funding for completing and equipping the Regional Hospital to ensure that the regional referral centre is equipped to meet the health needs of the people. 5. Government should accelerate the inclusion of Gurenɛ as an examinable subject in the basic and SHS curriculum since the language has met the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) criteria (since 2002) such as the availability of; qualified teachers, a unified orthography, teaching and learning materials, and a very large number of students to learn the language. The non-inclusion of the language at the early grade level, primary and JHS affects learners performance in the classroom as they are often compelled to either learn in a different language or left out without any opportunity to study in their own language as prescribed by the language policy. 6. Government should upgrade the Bolgatanga Polytechnic to a Technical University since it has currently met the criteria for the upgradement. This is key to the development of the Region in the training of manpower. 7. MMDAs should refurbish and retool the ICT centres which has been built and abandoned for effective utilization by the youth in their areas. 8. MMDAs should ensure mapping of communities in their jurisdiction with a wider stakeholder consultation to accelerate land banking, precision positioning and acquisition for integrated community development. 9. MMDAs should include availability of tree planting in the award of building permits to ensure that every house and public building has trees planted in the compound. 10. Chiefs, Queen mothers, religious leaders, opinion leaders should ensure that every individual in the BoNaBoTo area has a tree grown, nursed and protected to mitigate climate change. 11. BoNaBoTo branches should collaborate with CSOs and government agencies to intensify the fight against substance abuse and also support the youth who are engaged in substance abuse including tramadol, marijuana, alcohol, cocaine etc. through public education, counselling and support. We remain steadfast and resolute to collaborate with government, MDAs, NGOs and other Civil Society Organizations to implement strategies geared towards an enhanced integrated community development.
