2.0 THE MUNICIPALITY – EAST MAMPRUSI
The East Mamprusi Municipal is one of the six MMDAs in the new North East Region with Gambaga as the Municipal capital. It is a historic town lying next to the seat of the Nayiri, King of Mamprugu, and also the first Headquarters of the Northern Territories.
It is one of the oldest districts in Northern Ghana. Out of it, the West Mamprusi District was carved in 1988. In 2004, the Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District was also created to promote developments.
It was elevated to Municipal status in 2018 by a Legislative Instrument (LI.2274).
It therefore serves as the parent District for West Mamprusi, Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri and Yunyoo-Nasuan Districts
The Municipality has 142 communities with 5 Zonal Councils (namely Nalerigu, Gambaga, Langbinsi, Sakogu and Gbintri).
The Municipal Assembly has 36 elected members, 15 Government appointees, 1 Member of Parliament (MP), and the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) who is the executive and administrative head and assisted by the Municipal Co-ordinating Director and his technical team as the technocrats and advisers of the MCE.
Members of the Media, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Government of Nana Addo-Dankwa Akuffo- Addo is determined to use ICT to deliver efficient, effective, and improve services to citizens, and the ongoing digitalization efforts are also geared towards formalizing the economy to support the Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda.
The East Mamprusi Municipal Assembly will continue to implement policies and through its departments provide adequate implementation oversight in the Municipality to ensure that expectations of stakeholders are met within the jurisdiction of the Assembly.
Members of the Media, this presentation will provide an overview of the following areas:

The 1D1F Enable Youth Initiative a chance for the youth to own Agro-Based Factories.
The Rural Enterprise Programme (REP), under the Ministry of Trade and Industry, called for applications from the youth of Ghana to participate in the ‘Empowering Novel Agri-Business-Led Employment (1D1F ENABLE Youth)’ Initiative.
The 1D1F ENABLE Youth Initiative seeks to encourage young graduates to establish agro- processing factories, along key value chains in selected Districts across the country, in line with the 1D1F policy.
The Municipality opted for shea value chain as one of the cash crop which is readily available and when exploited would create many job opportunities especially for the youth in this area.
In line with the 1D1F ENABLE Youth Initiative processes, the Municipal Assembly received about 500 youth applications and 3 weeks ago some of them were taking through some basic business entrepreneurship training and subsequently went through selection processes.
Fifty (50) graduate youth group is being selected and supported with startup capital from African Development Bank (AfDB) to kick start the operation of the factory based in Gambaga. 3.8 Job Creation / Nation Builders Corps (NABCO)

The Municipal Assembly over the years have gone through a series of assessments.
The District Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT) assessment is one of such which is a National exercise where all MMDAs go through periodically.
