INTRODUCTION
Today the Catholic Diocese of Goaso, which covers the Ahafo region and the Ahafo part of the Ashanti Region, celebrates another milestone since the creation of the Diocese in 1998. We gather to inaugurate the long awaited Goaso Diocesan Development Organization (GODIDO LBG) and also to launch the organization’s five-year strategic plan. I stand before you with heart full of gratitude to God for assisting us with the vision to establish this organization which in one way or the other would help us improve upon our lives in the area. I extend my gratitude to all those who have contributed to the establishment of the organization.  

MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION
The mission of this organization is “Holistic Development through Socio-economic Empowerment". This mission of Holistic Development has to do with the readiness to leave no one behind as far as development in the catchment area of the Diocese is concern. This means that it is the mission of the organization to address the physical, social, economic, and emotional needs of people.
