In the spirit of mutual cooperation, this activity is intended to identify a long-term shared agenda between the two Cities in the field of sustainable development through each other’s cultural heritage.
This seeks to valorise the vibrant arts and culture landscape in the cities of Sekondi-Takoradi and Palermo to spur socio-economic development.
This activity also seeks to implement interventions that link sustainable development to social protection and livelihood improvement through the creation of safe-spaces and enhanced access to basic sanitary facilities for vulnerable women and youth, and sustainable and decent jobs for the unemployed.
