Officials from the Resilience Against Climate Change (REACH) project and the Savanna Regional Coordinating Council conducted a joint monitoring exercise to evaluate the use of IT equipment provided to districts across the region.
From March 19–20, two teams comprised of REACH representatives Michael Kojo Mireku and Martha Ansaba Afful, along with RCC officials Amadu Charles Adams and Daniel Okoto, visited the Sawla/Tuna/Kalba and North Gonja districts to assess the effectiveness of computers, tablets, printers, and other technological resources distributed by REACH to support district planning and operations.
The monitoring ensured the equipment reached its designated offices while identifying any challenges with the IT resources. It also reviewed the current state of technology assets provided through the REACH project.
“The IT equipment from REACH has improved work across our departments and units,” said Divine Fofo, Head of the MIS Unit in North Gonja District. “We promise to use them effectively and take good care of them. Thank you, GIZ.”
Before departing, the teams met with the Regional Coordinating Director, Mr. Yaw Adu Asamoah, to brief him on their findings from the districts visited. Asamoah expressed appreciation for their support extended to the Savannah Region and assured the equipment would be put to good use. However, he noted only two of the region’s seven districts currently benefit from the GIZ REACH project and requested the remaining five also be considered for enrollment.
The GIZ team concluded the monitoring at 3 PM before traveling to the North East Region to continue assessing IT equipment distribution there.
