The Governing Board of the National Sports Authority has commenced a three-day out-of-office retreat in Ada, aimed at adopting strategic and practical approaches to reposition the Authority and strengthen its operational effectiveness.
The retreat is designed to address day-to-day execution challenges within the Authority, with a focus on improving governance standards, enhancing service delivery, and reshaping the social and public image of the NSA. It is also expected to provide a platform for focused and uninterrupted strategic discussions that are often difficult to achieve during routine meetings.
The event was graced by the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Adams, who served as Guest of Honour. In his address, the Minister stressed the importance of the newly inaugurated Sports Fund, describing it as a sustainable mechanism to support sports development and promotion in Ghana. He outlined key sporting activities scheduled for 2026, including Ghana’s participation in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, hosting the African Wrestling Championship, the Beach Soccer International Championship, preparations for the FIFA World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Hon. Adams commended the Board and Management of the NSA for initiating the retreat, noting that it would help refresh stakeholder commitment to good governance and prudent public sector management.
The retreat is being chaired by the Board Chairman, Dr Fred Awaah, and is attended by members of the Governing Board, Management, and representatives from key institutions. These include the Director-General of the NSA, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, his deputies Gideon Hammond and Veronica Commey, Chief Operating Officer Yaw Kusi Gyamfi, and representatives from the National Sports College, Ministries of Sports and Recreation, Finance, and Education, as well as security services and tertiary institutions.
The Governing Board, sworn in just over a month ago, has been tasked with pursuing reforms aimed at restoring confidence, strengthening governance, and repositioning the NSA as a performance-driven institution within Ghana’s sports sector.
