Born of a complete illiterate parents engaged in peasant farming activity in a typical rural community in Ghana, I have struggled to make development issues a priority in my life. The strong affection I have for development-related program, emanates from the experience I have had about the wide dichotomy in development between rural and urban areas in Ghana where the rural people suffer most. Even though, I hold a 3-year post-secondary professional teacher training certificate, I did not relent in my efforts to pursue a development-related course at the university with the view of becoming a development expert

The strong enthusiasm I have for the MDP program, I believe, would serve as a boost for me to work assiduously in order to acquire the necessary theoretical and practical skills needed for development

Professionally, it is my ambition to use the would-be-knowledge acquired to help in the promotion and implementation of a holistic policy intervention to achieve a sustainable development both locally and abroad. Again, becoming an educator, collaborator and a facilitator in community-based development, is also my professional agenda.
