Organizational structure: |
The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation was founded by the Swedish section of The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (IKFF). The Parent Bodies are IKFF and The Swedish Peace and Arbitration Association and they are responsible for appointing the Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation President. This takes place every fourth year. The Board works from Rules of Procedure and a calendar that is evaluated on an annual basis. The aim of the Rules of Procedure is to specify routines for the Board's work, to stipulate the division of work tasks and areas of responsibility between Board members, and to clarify the dividing line between the responsibilities of the Board and the Secretariat. The Rules of Procedure stipulate the organisation's long-term strategies such as guidelines and evaluations, and determine management and control systems, and systems for fund management and administration. The organisation operates a dual leadership system in which the President and Managing Director runs the operation on assignment of the Board. The organization has an office with 25 employed staff at its Head Offcie in Stockholm and 9 employed staff at field offices in the respective regions of cooperation. Kvinna till Kvinna operates in the regions of the Western Balkans, South Caucasus and the Middle East. During 2008 the support base in these three regions consisted of 113 partner organisations. |
