The Registrar General (RG) of the Cooperative Development Agency (CDA), Regina Sokan Teah, and her team at the CDA have launched a staff capacity development program for employees of the CDA.
Speaking with a team of journalists at the CDA headquarters, 72nd, SKD Boulevard, Paynesville City outside of Monrovia, Teah noted that the staff capacity development initiative was organized by her and the administrative team of the CDA to improve staff performance in support of the Ministry of Agricultureβs Smallholder Transformation and Agribusiness Revitalization Project (STAR-P).
She said the objective of STAR-P is to increase agriculture productivity and commercialization of smallholder farmers for rice, oil palm and horticulture value chains in nine of the fifteen counties of Liberia.
The CDA boss stated that the staff capacity development program involved improving productivity and market access for smallholder farmers and agri-enterprises for rubber, cassava, piggery and vegetable value chains in selected counties in Liberia.
Speaking more on her staff capacity development program, the CDA RG used the press conference to disclose a plan on development underway by the management of the CDA for employees and actors of the cooperative.
Since the ascendency of team Teah, there has been tremendous transformation at the CDA. Prior to her ascendency the CDA had only 43 staffs to carry out the functions of the institution across Liberia, but has grown from 43 to 64.
