The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has announced that the final phase of the Appiatse Redevelopment Project will commence in October, 2024.
This marks a crucial step in the government’s mission to rebuild the community following the tragic explosion in January 2022.
The project, which has been ongoing for the past two years, is aimed at providing modern housing, infrastructure, and essential services for the affected residents.
The ministry says this final phase will focus on completing key infrastructure such as housing units, roads, and social facilities, including schools, hospitals, and recreational spaces.
In a press release dated Tuesday, September 17, and signed by the Chairman of the Appiatse Reconstruction Implementation Team, Benito Owusu-Bio, the Ministry assured that the government remains committed to delivering quality infrastructure to improve the lives of the people of Appiatse.
The statement also emphasised that the government is working closely with contractors and local authorities to ensure the project is completed on time.
"The Appiatse Reconstruction Implementation Team is set to commence the third and final phase of the Appiatse redevelopment project in October this year, 2024."
"This phase will complete the resettlement of the affected residents. We wish to put on record that the Government through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources is committed to ensuring that the 3rd and final phase will be completed in good time," the statement said.
The redevelopment initiative is part of a larger effort to rehabilitate communities that have suffered from disasters and accidents.
The Appiatse explosion, which was caused by a truck carrying explosives, led to significant loss of life and property, leaving the area in devastation.
To finance the reconstruction efforts, the government set up the Appiatse Support Fund, drawing contributions from both local and international donors.
