The Makira Ulawa provincial government (WUPG) has concluded ward development training throughout the province’s 20 wards.
A MUPG statement yesterday said the last training for wards 9 and 10 was held in Kirakira on Friday last week.
Speaking at the training, Provincial Secretary Christopher Waiwori said the training will improve the capacity and knowledge of ward development committees (WDC) on management and financial skills.
He said participants will put their knowledge into practice supporting good governance, transparency and accountability.
Waiwori said WDCs act as conduits and the bridge that connects MUPG with people in each of the 20 wards of Makira Ulawa Province because they complement the roles and responsibilities of members of the Provincial Assembly.
Waiwori said the trainings focus was on how to develop the annual work plan and a three-year rolling plan and basic finance procurement processes.
He added that the programme will also cover climate change resilient, adaptation mechanisms and gender and social inclusion – highlighting the importance of recognising the strengths that both men and women bring to improve community initiatives.
The MUPG provides grants yearly to each of the 20 wards.
