Intikeston

Intikeston is a proposed town in the Western Region of Ghana. According to the Municipal and District Capitals Initiative, Intikeston is planned to become the capital of Sene East District, a local government area in the Western Region of Ghana.

The town is expected to be located close to the Bui Dam, and its strategic placement has been touted by its proponents as an advantage for economic development in the region. Plans for the town have included the development of infrastructure such as roads, water supply systems, and electricity.

Intikeston is expected to serve as an administrative center for the Sene East District, hosting government offices, schools, hospitals, and other public institutions. The town is also anticipated to boost economic development in the region through the creation of employment opportunities and promotion of commercial activities.

Despite its proposed status, as of 2020, Intikeston remains an undeveloped area with limited infrastructure in place. The realization of Intikeston as a fully-fledged town remains contingent on the successful implementation of plans and schemes by the relevant authorities.

Investments in Intikeston are expected to focus on sustainable development, particularly in the areas of water and renewable energy, in line with global best practices. The town's growth is also anticipated to rely heavily on collaboration between local authorities, private sector and civil society groups.

As plans for Intikeston continue to unfold, the town's potential to serve as a development hub and the gateway to the Bui Dam region is increasingly being recognized. However, the extent to which its potential will be realized remains to be seen.
