NCCE APPEAL FOR FUND

The National Commission for Civic Education is appealing to Government, donor agencies and individuals for logistical and budgetary support to enable it efficiently carry out its constitutional duties. According to the Ashanti Regional Director of the National Commission on Civil Education, this year’s general election is crucial as all the political parties are struggling for power. Alhassan Yakubu in an interview with Kapital News discloses that this has become necessary for the commission to prepare adequately to educate the electorates especially the rural communities ahead of the this year’s presidential and parliamentary elections. The Ashanti Regional Director of NCCE indicated that the commission would need to step up the engagement with identifiable bodies including the political parties, youth, chiefs, religious leaders and the general public for smooth and peaceful conduct of the polls but due to the under-resourced and funds the commission will finds it difficult to meet up its core obligation.
