The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has mapped out an ambitious programme aimed at rebuilding public confidence in the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA).<\/p>\n
The USAID began with a three day capacity assessment workshop in Tamale which brought together stakeholders from the academia, SADA, the clergy, civil society organizations and the media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The event targeted at harnessing the inputs of the participants to address some of SADA\u2019s operational and administrative weaknesses.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”5Y5F7u85lSYEGJjUTVCk7Rpt7SHPPhmu”]SADA\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Charles Abugri at the opening ceremony admitted that SADA had reputational and delivery capacity problems to address in line with its agenda.<\/p>\n
He urged the participants to brainstorm and present useful information needed to reinvent SADA.<\/p>\n
He nevertheless appealed to development partners and the donor community to support SADA to serve its targeted constituents.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, some SADA staff acknowledged that public criticism hyped by the media in the past was born out of leadership paralysis.<\/p>\n
At the climax of the three days workshop, one of the lead facilitators, Miss Lawrencia Adams concluded that SADA had a bright future under the current management and Governing Board.<\/p>\n
