Representatives from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) and the Department of Strategy, Execution and Evaluation (SEE) of the United Kingdom have visited the headquarters of the Anambra ICT Agency in Awka as part of their move to partner the state government in project management procedures.
During the visit, officials of TBI announced their readiness to redeploy the delivery dashboard, which is a tool designed by TBI and adopted by Governor Chukwuma Soludo to enhance efficiency and transparency in project management procedures in the state.
The visit also provided the platform for outlining the interventions needed to meet the governor's agenda as captured in his manifesto.
In his speech, Mr Ifeoluwa Ibigbami of TBI said interventions would be prioritized during a workshop planned for four pilot Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, in the state. The Ministries are Health, Education, Environment and Works.
According to him, the alignment strategy would aim at synchronizing the efforts of various government institutions, as well as ensure a harmonious pursuit of Governor Soludo’s visionary goals.
Also speaking, Mr. Judy Melifonwu of TBI stated that sequel to the deployment of the dashboard and the synchronization of MDAs activities with the overall vision of the governor, there would be training of three officers each, to be nominated from the Administration, Accounts and Planning, Research and Statistics departments from the pilot MDAs of Health, Environment, Education and Works.
The MD/CEO of the Anambra ICT Agency, Mr. Fred Agbata described the collaboration between the Tony Blair Institute and the Anambra State government as a progressive stride towards effective and comprehensive governance.
“The Agency under my watch is ever ready to assist Mr. Governor to drive home this technological revolution for seamless service delivery in the state.
"As this partnership unfolds, stakeholders and citizens alike should be on the look out for the transformative potential it holds.
"There is no doubt that this synergy between the TBI’s expertise and the state’s administrative competence will yield remarkable outcomes that resonate both locally and beyond," Agbata said.
