Farmers in Nabdam District, in the upper East, have expressed satisfaction with the implementation of the government's One Village One (1V1D) Dam project by local contractors.
The district is expected to benefit from 10 dam projects, but nine of them are currently being implemented by mandated contractors.
Smallholders in Nabdam District congratulated Agnes Agnes Anamoo, District Chief, Agnes Anamoo, and District Engineer Simon Akasuya, and President Edward Dag-bama Walla, including paid journalists Separate work visits were held on Saturday to check the progress of the nine winning projects.
It should be recalled that some smallholders in some of the beneficiary communities in the region over the last two months have expressed dissatisfaction with the poor quality of some contractors working on the dams.
The nine project sites visited by Nabdam's DCE and its entourage included the Nyogbare, Zua, Nangodi, Zanlerigu, Daliga, Gane-Asonge, Pelingu, Sakoti and Kotintaabig dams.
According to the farmers, they aspire to have dams for nearly 20 years, to enable them to embark on dry season agriculture and serve as sources of drink for their animals, but to no avail.
They indicated that the cattle, sheep and goats that they often raise to earn extra income often travel long distances in search of water and are stolen, which discourages most members of the community. to embark on the breeding of animals.
"We are very grateful to the government for providing these dams. Although not finished, our animals have started to drink and we no longer experience the theft of our animals. We have also started to fetch water from the dam to build our buildings, "said Ndedog Pumoro, a 58-year-old small farmer from Zua.
Mr. Stephen Ndabon, a 30-year-old man from the Nyogbare community said that young people in the area had decided to use the dam's water resources to engage in dry season agriculture instead to migrate to the south of the country in search. for non-existent jobs.
He told the WFD that the young people were going to knock on the doors of the badembly to solicit support in agricultural inputs to enable them to achieve the goals set, namely dry season agriculture.
Ms Anamoo, from the WFD, was very impressed with the progress of the work of the majority of the contractors and urged those who encountered minor problems in their work to resolve them as centers of 39, learning for others.
She committed herself to helping youth use the dam water for dry season crops and indicated that the badembly was constantly monitoring and monitoring contractors, which was producing positive results and calling on other bademblies to even to avoid wasting government resources.
