CSOs pledge to help SADA succeed 

CSOs pledge to help SADA succeed 

  • On May 4, 2015

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the Northern Savannah Ecological Zone (NSEZ) have pledged to ensure that, the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) succeed in its second attempt to champion poverty reduction in Northern, Upper East, Upper West, Brong Ahafo and Volta Regions. 

They made this pledge at a SEND-GHANA – SADA conference held in Tamale from 29th to 30th April 2015. The conference was aimed at strengthening SADA – Civil Society partnership, make the civil society sector in the SADA zone aware of the re-positioning strategies and exercises and mobilize CSOs and traditional authorities to contribute to SADA’s on-going re-positioning processes. 

In August 2014, the government appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors of SADA. This new management team pledged to transform SADA into an effective, efficient, transparent and accountable development organization. 

SEND-GHANA’s new strategic plan (2014-2018), Making Ghana Work for Equity, prioritizes partnership with Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) to promote poverty reduction and build an inclusive and equitable Ghana. 

According to the organisation, this is key to promoting greater transparency and accountability in SADA programs and activities.

At the end of the conference, the participants issued a communiqué.
