Management
NaCSA
is governed by a seven-person Board
of Directors comprised of two line ministries
(The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry
of Local Government and Rural Development),
two donors (DfID/UK and the European
Union) and three members drawn from
civil society, including the Board chairman.
NaCSA's Leadership
NaCSA is led by a Commissioner, Mr.
Kanja Sesay, and supported by a Deputy
Commissioner, Mr. Justin Bangura. Both
are appointed by the H.E. the President
and approved by Parliament. The Commissioner
is responsible for ensuring that NaCSA
meets its overall goals and objectives,
for keeping the rest of government informed
about NaCSA's activities and ensuring
coordination at the highest levels.
The Commissioner is also the public
face of NaCSA and in this capacity meets
with a broad range of NaCSA partners
and beneficiaries to build participation
and understanding. He also helps develop
policies and strategic plans and works
to ensure they are carried out. The
Commissioner works directly with senior
donor representatives to assure funding
for national reconstruction and sustainable
development and is the final authority
within NaCSA on all matters pertaining
to the organisation. The Deputy Commissioner
backstops the Commissioner, acts in
his absence and is fully involved in
all policy matters.
NaCSA's Professional Staff
NaCSA has nearly 100 professional staff
in 16 offices. NaCSA's staff is large
because the 13 district offices still
play post-war roles that will eventually
become the responsibility of district
governments when they have been fully
re-established. NaCSA's Executive Director,
Mr. Sylvanus Fannah, coordinates activities
among its three programmes and four
support service units and acts as the
"chief operational officer" to ensure
regular planning and coordination. He
also provides regular advice to the
Commissioner on policy and strategic
planning issues.
NaCSA has:
- 1 executive director
- 6 directors
- 12 managers
- 14 project officers
- 4 M&E officers
- 17 financial management and procurement
staff
- 3 regional coordinators based
in Bo, Kenema and Makeni
- 13 district coordinators, one
in each district in the country
- 25 community development officers
- 4 civil engineers
All
staff are hired on one-year renewable
performance-based contracts and every
staff member's performance is appraised
every six months.
NaCSA's professional staff are supported
by a technical advisor,
Mr. Gary A. Walker (funded by the
African Development Bank) who works
closely with the offices of the Commissioner,
Deputy Commissioner and Executive Director.
The Finance Directorate also continues
to have external advisory support.
NaCSA's Support
Staff NACSA's data clerks, secretaries,
drivers, office attendants, security
guards, radio and camera technicians
and others are the backbone of its operations.
They work in all 16 offices and headquarters.
