The Bank serves about 240 villages with a total population of over 200,000 people. The main economic activities of the area are peasant farming, fishing, trading and cottage industries.
In 2008/2009, a new Organogram was produced by Management and approved by a joint committee of human resource and finance. The new Organogram which was to be fine-tuned for Board’s approval was aligned with the present salary scales of the Bank; the appropriate nomenclature at all levels was adopted and gradings were matched against the positions/titles. The Organogram is being implemented in stages and the result is showing improvement in its operational performance.
