Nananom,
We salute you. You are absolutely right: The time has indeed now come to transform the Gomoa Buduburam Camp Liberia refugee settlement area. If done creatively, it can be re-imagined as a world-class ecotourism destination - to become a new green economic pillar, generating wealth that remains locally, and jobs galore, for the Gomoa East District's youth.
The area covering the Ghana National Fire Service station, the Ghana Police Service's Camp Liberia Police Station, the taxi rank, the passenger bus station and market, could be turned into a modern commercial centre, like the Ashanti Regional capital Kumasi's new Kejetia market.
Nananom, the Gap area, from the high tension pillar, to the market, could also be re-imagined as a public park - designed and built by Ghana's foremost green entrepreneur, Mr. Eugene Kofi Boakye-Yiadom, the CEO of the Legon Botanical Gardens, to bring in income for both the traditional authorities, and the Gomoa East District Assembly, as a public private partnership (PPP) project.
The other parts of the Camp could then be redeveloped in phases, and transformed into a world-class ecotourism tiny-houses destination, with each tiny house having a fruit garden compound. All the roads would be asphalted, and a proper drainage system designed for the community.
As a result of the participation of Mr. Eugene Kofi Boakye-Yiadom, funding can probably be sought from the Netherlands government's list of suitable Dutch private sector investors, and also from UNESCO, amongst other funding sources. Nananom, with the greatest respect, one humbly suggests that the most viable longterm win-win-solution, to transforming the Camp Liberia refugee settlement area, is to partner Eugene Kofi Boakye-Yiadom, to reimagine Camp LiberIa, as a world-class ecotourism destination.
