The workshop, under the theme: 93United We Stand" was organized by the Twifo-Hemang-Lower-Denkyira Civic Union in collaboration with the District Assembly and GIZ, with funds from the German Agency International Cooperation.

The participants were taken through the Local Government System, Decentralization Policy, District Assembly Concept, Leadership Skills, Community Decision Making Process and How to Solve Communal Problems.
