The Honorable Cecilia Soyelleh, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Lawra Municipality, recently took part in a two-day Capacity Building Training aimed at enhancing the skills and competencies of Metropolitan Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Coordinating Directors (MMDCDs) in the Upper West Region.
Organized by the Upper West Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) in collaboration with the Coastal States Stability Mechanisms (CSSM) under the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the training focused on empowering local governance structures for effective local development.
Key topics addressed during the training included Conflict Resolution, Conflict Management, Prevention of Violent Extremism (PVE), as well as Mediation and Arbitration. Hon. Cecilia Soyelleh, along with other MMDCEs, actively participated in the sessions, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing their capacity to address governance challenges and promote peace and stability in their respective areas.
The training provided a valuable opportunity for local government leaders to exchange ideas, learn best practices, and acquire new tools and techniques to navigate the complex landscape of governance. As they return to their communities, equipped with fresh insights and skills, they are poised to make a positive impact and contribute to sustainable development in the region.
By investing in capacity-building initiatives such as this, local authorities are better positioned to fulfil their mandate of serving their constituents effectively and driving progress at the grassroots level. The participation of Hon. Cecilia Soyelleh in this training underscores her dedication to enhancing her leadership abilities and governance skills for the benefit of the Lawra Municipality.
As we applaud the commitment of MMDCEs and MMDCDs to continuous learning and professional development, we look forward to witnessing the positive outcomes of this training reflected in improved governance practices and enhanced service delivery in the Upper West Region.
