In their views, the interventions being embarked on to grow the private sector should help in achieving the aim.<\/p>\n<p>However, Rev. Opuni reiterated that although President Akufo-Addo\u2019s initiative geared towards building a society which is less dependent on other foreign support was commendable, fears are that donor agencies may withdraw their support because the \u201cworld communities will see Ghana as not needing aid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained that in order to close the gaps between the rich and poor in the society, the government should create a donor channel so that funding will not be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in the rural areas providing water, HIV\/AIDS care, many more to help these underprivileged communities. Now we don\u2019t depend on government but we depend on aid from other bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why we are requesting the president and his administration should build an infrastructure for civil society groups\u2026that when we are close to elections when we are in crisis\u2026 are able to help us close the inequalities in Ghana,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6H1de_deVmI\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Monday, 4 December 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-12-04 play videoRev Opuni Frimpong The General Secretary of the Christian Council, Rev Opuni-Frimpong has charged the administrative government to put into consideration the role NGOs and Civil Society play when it comes to the Ghana beyond aid agenda.
