The Co-ordinating team is one of the wings of the KNUST Coordinating branch of the union. It is charged with the responsible of directing, harmonizing, and synchronizing the activities of all the branches of the union within the coverage area of the Coordinating branch, so as to bring about a coherent and efficient union.

COVERAGE AREA
The Coordinating branch covers five administrative regions of the country; the largest among all the Coordinating branches of the union. These regions are; Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions plus some parts of Western Region i.e. Sefwi. For effective coordination, the area has been divided into ten (10) Sub-Coordinating branches. These are:- University of Education-Kumasi, University of Education-Mampong, Wesley College, Akrokerri Training College, Agogo Nursing Training College, Sunyani Polytechnic, St. Joseph Training College (Bechem), Berekum Training College, College for Renewable Natural Resources (Sunyani), and Nyankpala Campus of the University for Development Studies. As of now there are over eighty coordinated branches under these ten Sub-Coordinating branches.

ACTIVITIES
The primary activity of the team is visitation to all the branches. However, the vast nature of the area has necessitated the restriction of the visits to the sub- coordinating branches, who are also supposed to visit the coordinated branches under them.

The team is also responsible for the organization of annual rallies. These rallies bring together all members of a particular zone. During these rallies pertinent issues affecting the union are discussed. They are also fora for praises, thanksgiving, and socialization. Presently, there are four zones. These are; Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Northern, and Upper East. Plans are underway to create an Upper West zone.

Annual leadership training seminars are organised. Delegates from all branches are taken through topics bothering on effective leadership and organization, by resource persons. The team also help the Evangelism/SICE team in the organization of Students In Church Evangelism (SICE) programmes

MEMBERSHIP:
Currently, the team is made up of eighteen members. It is lead by the Schools’ Coordinator who is also a member of the National Executive Council of the union. He is assisted by a secretary and an organizer.
The current executive committee comprises the following:-
1. Samuel Abosi Schools’ Coordinator
2. Kwadwo Amo-Asante Secretary
3. Ebenezer Gabriel Nartey Organizer
4. William Agyei Brentuo Member

CHALLENGES
The greatest challenge facing the team is the poor numerical strength. Considering the coverage area, it is woefully inadequate if not impossible to work effectively with only eighteen people.The vastness of the area of operation also posses a great challenge. This has made effective coordination extremely difficult. This is compounded by the inability of the sub-coordinating branches to effectively coordinate all the coordinated branches under them

FINANCE
The only source of finance for the team; the general account of the union, is not able to fully support the activities of the team.

MEASURES TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS
1. Plans are underway to strengthen the UDS sub-coordinating branch to the status of a coordinating branch.
2. A co-ordinating fund with a target of five million cedis is to be set up to support the team.
3. Co-ordinators have been assigned to the various sub-coordinating branches and they are to encourage that sub-coordinating branches to visit the coordinated branches regularly.
4. Appeals are being made to get more committed people into the team.

PROJECTION
We hope to extend our activities to our mother churches around. We hope to assign members to these churches as J.Y and Children service teachers. However, this is subject to a significant increase in the membership.

APPEAL
We appeal to all well meaning Presbyterians and non-Presbyterians alike to contribute generously to make the team effective. Donations in any form are welcome. We believe that the strength of the coordinating branch lies in the effective work of the coordinating team.

May God bless you even as you make up your mind to help to coordinate with love.
