U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia E. Palmer, has inaugurated the rehabilitated Upper East Regional House of Chiefs office in Bolgatanga.
She was joined by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Upper East Regional Minister, Stephen Yakubu and Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Minister, Stephen Asamoah Boateng.
Ambassador Palmer said, "The U.S. government stands together with local partners in the Upper East to advance their goals of promoting peace, improving livelihoods, and increasing community well-being for more cohesive and resilient communities."
The renovation of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs office was financed by the United States government.
The newly renovated building provides a conducive and inclusive space for meetings, work, and training for Chiefs, Queen Mothers, and technical staff.
The U.S. Agency for International Development provided more than $140,000 of support to rehabilitate the Upper East House of Chiefs building, which forms part of the commitment to promoting community cohesion and peace and stability in Ghana.
As part of her two-day trip, Ambassador Palmer also met with women traditional leaders, U.S. Embassy grantees and partners, alumni of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, and other U.S. government exchange programs.
