About Us

Vision

The vision is to become a District Assembly of excellence in service provision for accelerated and sustainable development among all the District Assemblies in Ghana.

Mission

The Akatsi North District Assembly exists to improve the living standards of the people through mobilization of resources and provision of services and socio-economic infrastructure for the total development of the District within the framework of good governance.

Health

Comparing the compact nature and size of the District in relation with the number of health facilities, one would comfortably say that the District is relatively served with health facilities.

Education

At the primary school level, there are 42 public and private schools with a GER of 94.82% in 2019/20. Taking into consideration the gradual increases in children at this level of education, the Assembly has made projections for construction of two (3) new primary schools.
