The Center for Environmental and Development Advocacy (CEDA) has commended the President John Dramani Mahama-led government, for resolving to refocus the Ministry of Energy as the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.
It said the bold move underscored the government’s commitment to sustainability and addressing global climate challenges, through the promotion of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-carbon development.
Mr Shadrach Offome , the Executive Director of the Center said this in a press statement copied to the Ghana News Agency at Aiyinasi in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region.
The Centre also commended the government’s decision to reduce the number of Ministries, a decision which demonstrated a commitment to fiscal responsibility and efficient governance.
“It is our belief that this step will help streamline decision-making and focus resources on critical national priorities, including the energy transition and environmental sustainability.
The creation of the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition represents an opportunity for Ghana to lead in Africa’s green transformation through innovation, attracting investment in clean technologies, and building a sustainable future”.
The Center encouraged the government to ensure inclusivity, transparency, and collaboration with all stakeholders as it implements transformative policies.
“CEDA stands ready to support this vision and partner with the government to promote sustainable development for the benefit of all Ghanaians,” the statement noted.
