YKMA ORGANISES CAPACITY-BUILDING WORKSHOP FOR STAFF

The Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly (YKMA) on Thursday, 3rd September 2026, organised a one-day capacity-building workshop for its staff as part of efforts to strengthen institutional capacity and improve service delivery.

The workshop brought together senior officers, including the Director of Administration from the Office of the Head of Local Government Service, officers from the Eastern Regional Coordinating Council (ERCC), and other senior officers of the Assembly.

In his welcome address, the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Abdul-Hussein A. Rasheed, underscored the importance of continuous capacity development in enhancing effective administration and service delivery.

The programme focused on local government protocols and structures, report and minutes writing, performance management and appraisals, as well as conditions of service, promotion, professional development, ethics and disciplinary procedures.

Participants were encouraged to understand their conditions of service, maintain high performance standards, pursue continuous professional development, and follow due process in matters relating to promotion, transfer, grievances and discipline.

The workshop also emphasised professionalism, political neutrality, punctuality and ethical conduct as essential qualities for public servants.

The initiative forms part of YKMA’s commitment to building a competent, disciplined and professional workforce capable of delivering effective and efficient services to the people of the municipality.
