Our town

Kwahu Jejeti is a farming community in the Kwahu West Municipality of Ghana's Eastern Region, near Asuoso, in the green lowlands below the Kwahu ridge. It is part of the wider Kwahu traditional area, whose people are known across Ghana for their farming, trade and enterprise.

Our people grow cocoa and food crops, process cassava and palm fruit, keep fish ponds and trade along the main road that passes through the area. The town is home to the Kwahu Jejeti Presby Basic School and to families whose roots here go back generations.

Much of our history lives in the memory of our elders. Recording that history, carefully and with the families who hold it, is one of the committee's first tasks.

The Development Committee

The Kwahu Jejeti Development Committee works within the Office of the Tufuhene, under the authority of the palace. It gives the town one organized place to plan, raise resources and see projects through from idea to completion.

• Plan the town's 1-year, 10-year and 20-year comprehensive plans
• Design and propose development projects the community needs most
• Seek donations and support from citizens, the diaspora and partners
• Deliver together through cooperative planning and implementation with every stakeholder
• Account openly to the palace and the people for every gift received

A board drawn from every part of the community guides the committee's work.
