Challenging Heights approves landmark governance reforms, restructures board

The Board of Challenging Heights has approved a comprehensive package of governance reforms following two days of deliberations in Accra over the weekend, in what the organisation describes as the most significant restructuring of its governance in its twenty-year history.

Clear supervisory authority, credible succession planning, rigorous safeguarding and data protection, and an independent evaluation that we do not control the conclusions of — these are the things that allow an organisation to outlast its founders," she said.

The reforms reconstitute the organisation's governance architecture, strengthen its safeguarding and data protection systems, tighten procurement controls, put succession planning on a constitutional footing, and commission an independent evaluation of the organisation's impact over the past decade.
