The workshop also serves to review the strategies implemented thus far, discern the challenges and develop the way forward to continuously improve the learning and standards of administration at the correctional centre level.

Key areas highlighted included the need for improved record-keeping practices, enhanced training for staff on compliance protocols, and the implementation of regular audits to ensure adherence to standards.

This is intended to strengthen a culture of accountability, transparency and continuous improvement within their respective centres and contribute towards the bigger organizational goals.
