On 5th May 2026, a Technical Team under the TFO, led by Dr. Cynthia Ayokor Sallah, DDG-TFO, convened a meeting to review the Quality Assurance and Improvement Programme (QAIP) Manual under the guidance of the Ag. Director-General, Mr. Thomas A. Thompson-Aryee. The meeting brought together key officers and technical personnel from the Agency to critically examine the Manual’s contents and assess its relevance to current operational and professional standards. Consultant for the EU Project, Mr. Nathan Yankey led discussions. The exercise formed part of ongoing efforts to strengthen quality assurance mechanisms and promote continuous improvement within the organization.
During the meeting, members carefully reviewed the various sections of the manual, paying particular attention to the adequacy of existing procedures, reporting structures, and monitoring mechanisms. Discussions focused on identifying gaps, clarifying provisions, and proposing amendments to enhance the effectiveness and practicality of the document. The team also considered the need to align the manual with best practices and evolving institutional requirements to ensure consistency in implementation.
At the end of the deliberations, the Technical Team agreed on a number of recommendations and proposed revisions to be incorporated into the final document. Members emphasized the importance of maintaining a robust QAIP framework to support accountability, efficiency, and continuous organizational improvement. The review meeting concluded with a commitment from the team, under the guidance of the Ag. Director-General and the DDG-TFO, to finalize the revised manual within the agreed timelines for onward consideration and approval.
