Effective Reporting Channel Cont’d

14Government is massively investing in the agricultural sector to enhance food sufficiency. The outcome of these investments in real terms has made meaningful impact on the nation’s economy.During the HMA presentation on 11th March 2020 on its activities, the FEC observed that the report of the Ministerial performance is not reflecting magnitude of investment in the agric sector.The Ministry is doing a lot to attain food security in the country but our activities are under-reported due to ineffective data management mechanism, resulting to ineffective synergy between the Ministry & its parastatals

Conclusion

The outcome and the overall impacts of effective and efficient communication cannot be overemphasized, as synergy among agencies is key to the attainment of the Ministry’s mandate as well as the Ministerial deliverables.
