policies and programs brings about Development For who is this
manifesto written Scope of the manifesto Thematic action areas: 1.

Slide 3
In this world, we wouldnt feel, as so many of us do, that what
happens around the world is somehow less real than what happens on
our doorstep. Wed feel a sense of empowerment, that were all in
this together, and that our choices really can change the direction
the world moves in. Global communication technologies now mean that
we all know that millions of people are living without access to
the basics. The suffering of a child in a community in ASSIN
CENTRAL ought to be as abhorrent to us as the suffering of a child
next door. From this starting point of connection, we might then
naturally move on to ask the question wed naturally ask if it were
our friend in trouble: What can I do?
Slide 4
If you think youre too small to make a difference, youve never
been in bed with a mosquito. Your personal choices and actions make
a difference. In our interconnected world, your actions and
choices, and the actions and choices of the institutions and
governments you choose to support (or not), will affect the lives
of people both close to home and further afield. From a state of
powerlessness that manifests itself in a feeling of I cannot,
activism contains an element of collective self-confidence that
results in a feeling of we can.
Slide 5
The Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) is the new political party
that has been formed by the 2008 flag bearer of the Convention
Peoples Party (CPP), Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom The motto of the PPP is
Prosperity in Peace. Its symbols consist of a full glowing red sun
on a white background with red and white as its official colors
Vision of the Party: Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has a vision for a united
Ghana and job creation. His slogan says jobs, jobs, jobs
Slide 6
I would like to introduce you to our four years programs with
emphasis placed on the concerns of the youth and the people of
Assin Central. Our manifesto is called THE SERIES Aims to broaden
awareness of these issues amongst individuals, their families and
communities in Assin Central We hope that by engaging individuals
in this educational campaign, the key messages will flow out into
their communities and help to build a well informed and pro- active
society that is prepared to take responsibility for its own impact
in the community. We aim to empower people to take action in
support of development efforts throughout community. By promoting
an understanding of the role that individuals can play, we hope
they will go on to make informed; choices with the knowledge of how
their actions impact in the community around them.
Slide 7
Young Girls, youth, children and Women: girls and women make up
of more than half the population of Assin Central. They are unique
and distinctive individuals with rights and responsibilities.
Without gender parity in our community, other areas of Assin
Central development goals will not be achieved. The manifesto seeks
to address women Physiological and economic Empowerment. People
with disability constitute a significant proportion in our
community. They are faced with numerous challenges including
stigmatization and discrimination, they are deprived of fundamental
human rights: yet a empowered disabled can become a key actor in
the fight against poverty and drivers of change. Youth: youth every
where have aspiration and wants to participate fully in the lives
of their societies. Youth are key agents for social change,
economic development and technological innovations. Youth in Assin
Central should live under conditions that encourages their
imagination, ideals, energy and vision to flourish to benefit of
their societies. The aged: most often we do turn to forget about
the old people in the community. In my period as an Member of
parliament, more focus will be given to the aged and their views
will be considered when under taking any development project within
the community. Everybody, considering the different types of people
living in the community, my term of office is all inclusive
participation. Each individual views will be heard from the bottom
up approach.

population will be enabled to receive and to give as much as
possible to benefit each other. If we help each other in love and
honesty manners, then there will be no such adversities that can't
be removed from our midst or addressed properly to uproot such evil
or wrongful meaning about it. There is an old proverb which says
"To understand something you need KNOWLEDGE, but to feel it, you
need EXPIRIENCE".I have been with you all this time around for a
while, and many knew me well what commitments has been done and how
did I work humbly and serviceably through my little NGO (Dolly

feel your needs and tried to solve as many as possible due to lack
of personal resources, but all was and is possible when God is in
presence.
