Building capacity, strengthening planning practice is the goal.

The Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority (LUSPA), Western Region joined the Head office of the Authority with sponsorship from GIZ Ghana to hold a comprehensive orientation session for selected Spatial Planning Committee members both at the Regional and Metro Municipal and District level.

The session brought together planners and key stakeholders to deepen understanding and ensure consistent application of the updated standards.
