From 17th to 19th February 2025, the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) convened a three-day Management Strategy Session at its head office, bringing together members of the executive committee, divisional heads, project leads, and senior management. The objective of the session was to establish a unified and actionable roadmap for the Authority’s operations in 2025 and over the medium term, in line with its mandate to ensure effective oversight and performance of Specified Entities (SEs).
The session was formally opened by the Director-General, Professor Michael Kpessa-Whyte, who underscored the importance of cohesive leadership and strategic planning in achieving SIGA’s institutional goals. He highlighted that the collective effort and commitment of the management team would be instrumental in transforming SEs into efficient, accountable, and profitable entities that significantly contribute to national development. He further emphasized that SIGA’s strategy must be anchored on operational excellence, financial sustainability, and strong corporate governance.
Over the first two days, heads of divisions and project units delivered detailed presentations on their respective Divisions’ performance in 2024, outlining key achievements, lessons learned, and operational challenges. Each presentation was followed by feedback sessions and peer discussions designed to foster collaboration, share insights, and collectively refine departmental goals in alignment with SIGA’s broader objectives. These engagements provided an opportunity for critical reflection and a shared understanding of performance expectations across the Authority.
In her remarks during the final day of the session, Madam Alexandra Totoe, General Manager for Finance and Administration, reiterated the importance of strategic alignment between individual work plans and the overarching institutional goals. She noted that the Authority’s medium-term and annual work plans would serve not only as guiding frameworks but also as performance compacts between management and the Director-General. These plans, she explained, are expected to focus on accountability, deliver measurable outcomes, and support the continuous improvement of SIGA’s operations.
The 2025 Management Strategy Session concluded with a renewed sense of purpose and a collective commitment to execute the Authority’s strategic priorities with professionalism, diligence, and measurable impact.
