RAMAT is a membership organization that is run by the Members. The Members make decisions at an Annual General Meeting, which is the highest decision-making organ of the Foundation. The present number of members is 360.
The second highest organ is the Management Committee that is composed of eleven members, where one, the Coordinator is ex-officio. The Foundation’s members in their annual meeting elect the Members of the Management Committee when the term for Members has expired. The term of the any committee Member is three years, renewable. Their main duties include, proposing policies, strategic planning, senior staff recruitment, external relations and guiding the organization to achieve its mission. The secretariat, headed by the Coordinator, has five full time staff, three part-time staff and one international development worker most of whom are on voluntary arrangements.
RAMAT has an Advisory Council composed of seven persons of high integrity, good social standing and particular interest and competence in education, community enterprises, natural resources, legal and other community matters. The main duty of this committee is to provide strategic advice to the Management Committee.
RAMAT has operational policies for the entire organisation. However, for employment opportunities the policy that exists is explicit in that it requires qualified and appropriate people be employed in a non-discriminatory manner from the community. If the community does not have appropriately qualified people, then they have to be recruited from outside the community. |
