On July 24, 2024, the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development conducted a comprehensive monitoring exercise to evaluate the utilization of tools and equipment provided to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). This initiative aimed to ensure that the beneficiaries were effectively using the resources to improve their livelihoods and enhance their socio-economic status.

The monitoring team visited several communities, including Pepease, Kwahu Tafo, Nteso, and Akwasiho. During these visits, the team engaged with the PWDs, observing firsthand how they had integrated the tools and equipment into their daily activities. The equipment, which ranged from agricultural tools to vocational instruments, was intended to empower PWDs to become more self-sufficient and economically productive.

In Pepease, the team observed how PWDs were using the tools to enhance their agricultural practices, leading to increased productivity and improved crop yields. In Kwahu Tafo, they noted the successful implementation of vocational equipment, which had enabled many individuals to start small businesses in tailoring, carpentry, and other trades. The visits to Nteso and Akwasiho revealed similar positive outcomes, with PWDs utilizing the provided resources to develop sustainable livelihoods.
