The strategic focus area above came into being as a result of NTA revising its strategic direction and plan for 2019-2023. The focus area is aimed at improving efficiency, sustainability and revamping the brand of the organization. Institutional Capacity Assessment (ICA) was therefore, undertaken by the NTA and the journey of implementing the strategic focus area based on the gaps identified during ICA began.
