The heart and, indeed, the mind of the organization has always been its governing body. The management board of
APOWA is committed to an open, engaged and accountable process of sustaining of our mission. The governing body
of the organization holds the apex power of the decision-making. The organization has an executive board that
frames the policies and passes down action items to the ground level working team. There are several different wings
of the ground level working team and every wing has several general members who implement the policies and work
items of the organization. A general body meeting is held every year. The executive board is elected for a five year
term and is dissolved and newly elected by and from the members by an electoral and democratically process. An advisory
committee has formed to guide the work further. Members and volunteers of the organization operate at the village levels to effect positive change. It is a powerful collection of community volunteers from villages to villages. |
