Your best bet is to prioritize the information and subordinate the less-important data.

It seems you have a couple of free text cells in each row that could become long (Remarks, Lessons learned), so you might explore patterns that don't rely on showing every single piece of information in the table row.

Look at your user's goals for this screen. What do they need to see right away? Keep that in your table. What less-important information could they access with a single click?

Expansion Panels

One option is to put the less-important information into an expansion panel, like in this example from Sencha:

Detail Sheet

Another is to add the less-important information to a modal or side sheet that can open and close:

Grouping

You could also group information in cells to save space if you don't need to sort/filter on them. For example, all of your "who" information (Department, Entity, Custodian) could be grouped in a cell, and all your "when" information (dates) could be grouped together in another cell.

Custom Table Views

You could allow your user to choose which columns they need to see in the main view, and hide what they don't.

Freeze the First Column

Finally, if none of these work because your user genuinely needs to see all information in a single row, you could freeze the Initiative column, and allow the user to scroll left-to-right without losing context.
