Do you know the name of your District or Municipal Assembly? Is there an easy way to locate your nearest district Assembly? Well, that is all that this article seeks to explain.
Districts of Ghana are subdivisions of Ghana to help decentralize government and help in development. According toWikipedia, Ghana is divided into 261 metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (or MMDAs).
Although these district assemblies were established to make it easier for individuals to access government policies, locating the district assembly to which you belong is not as easy as it may sound.
