Regional offices

Organization and operation

There are three regional branches, corresponding to each geographic region of the country: North; Centre; South.

The regional offices are under the responsibility of a Regional Vice President of CTA who lives in the capital of the region or of any other business leader who is appointed by the Board for that purpose.

The regional offices obey to the principle of dual subordination, first to the Vice-President or the business leader appointed for this purpose and then to the Executive Committee of the CTA for their operational, thematic and financial effects.

The Vice-President or the nominated responsible for the regional office ensures that it works in accordance with the Annual Plan of Activities and interacts with private sector representatives from all provinces and districts in its geographical region.
