It ensures that the Assembly's development plans and activities align with national policies and the overall development agenda of the government.
Central Administration also serves as the key coordination and liaison unit between the Assembly and other governmental and non-governmental institutions operating within the municipality. It facilitates communication and collaboration between the Heads of Departments, development partners, and the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) to ensure effective service delivery and efficient administration. In addition, the department is responsible for the management of the Assembly's financial, administrative, and human resources, working closely with the Municipal Chief Executive to ensure that resources are properly utilized to support development programmes and municipal operations.
The Head of the Central Administration Department, who serves as the Municipal Coordinating Director, performs several important roles. These include acting as the Secretary to the Assembly, chairing the Municipal Planning and Coordinating Unit (MPCU), and serving as the principal advisor to the Municipal Chief Executive on administrative and technical matters. The department also focuses on capacity building and staff development, ensuring that the knowledge, skills, and competencies of Assembly staff are continuously strengthened to improve institutional performance and service delivery within the municipality.
