On management structure, AHEFS is directed by a board of 7 professionals with experience in project management, health sciences, community development, financial management, social sciences, qualitative and quantitative research and governance.

As part of its PHP sector activities especially in HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria prevention and treatment projects, AHEFS works directly with the National, Regional and District Health Management Teams, Focal Persons, the District Assemblies opinion leaders. Each sector has a project team made up of the project Director who is directly in charge of project design, performance framework design and tracking, technical reporting, change communication and management, duty assignment and overall project implementation. The M&E Advisor provides field support to the Executive Director by ensuring that volunteer-dependent projects are producing results at the community level through analytical processes of coverage level assessment, quality assurance (message content assessment and analysis) and participatory processes of volunteer peer review, community groups review and stakeholder review meetings. The M&E Advisor also sees to the implantation of any other activity related to the project objectives in target communities. Further, the Grant Manager is responsible for facilitating, recording and reporting financial transactions on projects being implemented and reported by sub-grantees. The Grant Manager also employs the use of standard financial management systems for its reporting.
